Kingdom Lost - Episode 2 "Department 7"

"So uh, do you still think its them doing it and not me?" she asks Dexter.

Grinning, Dexter says, "Just being scientific. It's my way." He retrieves the pen and looks at it briefly before sticking back in his pen cup. "That is about the coolest thing I've ever seen. And that's going some. I had tickets when the Packers won the Superbowl."

Selene watches, “Wicked… very cool, Dan and Selene,” pointing at the letters on Dan’s forehead, “and here all I can do is increase my speed, you can do something useful!” she laughs mischievously…

As if on cue, right as Dexter finishes speaking, there is a knock at the front door of the lobby. From the security system you see it is a short powerful looking man with a braided beard and a hat with the pizza company on it. Under the hat is a classic mullet for his dark hair, and his broad shoulders end in powerful muscled arms. The man can’t be more then five feet in height, but he looks to weigh more then 200 pounds easily.

He checks his watch as he knocks on the door again.

Selene smiles, “Pizza is here.”

 

[JimAde]

"Dammit," Dexter mutters. He pulls out his tattered wallet and throws a five-dollar bill onto the desk. "Ok, everybody pony up and I'll go let the guy in."

He rises from his desk and goes to the front door to admit the pizza guy.

"Dammit," Dexter mutters. He pulls out his tattered wallet and throws a five-dollar bill onto the desk. "Ok, everybody pony up and I'll go let the guy in."

He rises from his desk and goes to the front door to admit the pizza guy.

The short and powerful pizza delivery man looks up to Dexter, “Great, I thought this was a joke order, you owe $22.50 and remember that tipping isn’t a city in China,” he says gingerly, well as gingerly as his scowl will allow.

In the parking lot, is an old blue Ford pickup, with a bumper sticker on the back. It reads ‘When SIZE matters, call a Dwarf…’ the short man waits for the money, not yet handing off the pizzas till he is fully paid.

 

[JimAde]

Dexter smiles and rolls his eyes. "City in China. Ha ha," he says flatly. "Come on in," Dexter says. "We're getting the money together." He steps well to the side to let the broad little guy through.

"Why would you think it was a joke order? I can't be the only guy in L.A. to order anchovies on his pizza."

 

[Shalimar]

Sakura sighs and digs into her wallet pulling out a 20 and a 10, she hands them over to the short guy, telling him to keep the 7 odd dollars as the tip, it wasn't really a hardship, she and Koga were both extremely well off, they didn't need to work, their grandfather, and later their father had both been very wise with investments, both only worked out of the sense that helping others was a duty, one they fufilled as protectors.

She accepts the pizzas, and carries them inside to an unoccupied desk. From one of her drawers she pulls out a stack of paper plates and puts them next to the pizzas. "Dig in, its my treat." she tells the other's helping her self to a slice of plain. She doesn't particularly want Selene to have any, she had misidentified who Sakura had meant the S to stand for, but Sakura was well brought up and she had good manners.

Dexter smiles and rolls his eyes. "City in China. Ha ha," he says flatly. "Come on in," Dexter says. "We're getting the money together." He steps well to the side to let the broad little guy through.

"Why would you think it was a joke order? I can't be the only guy in L.A. to order anchovies on his pizza."

The man shrugs, "Anchovies huh, and you wonder why I thought it was a joke order," he takes the money from Sakura counting it carefully. He nods and tips his hat, "Well have a good evening folks, if you ever need a sweet deal give 'Ragnar's Pizza' a call," he turns on his heels and walks out.

Selene grabs a slice avoiding the anchovies, "Thanks Sakura, I am starving!"

 

[Festy_Dog]

James is downing a bottle of something containing ample amounts of sugar and fizz when the stocky fellow walks in with the pizzas. He lowers the drink to get a better look at him.

The deliver guy accepts the money and walks out, leaving James with a raised eyebrow and a querying look.

Ragnar? Bit of an odd name. Certainly not one of them hippy names though... blech, imagine being named 'Rainbow' or somethin'. Disturbing.

He shrugs and goes to pick up a slice of pizza.

"I must be getting paranoid after meeting that demonic lookin' guy," he says offhand, before looking to Sakura with a grin, "Cheers for the pizza. If anyone wants something to drink by the way, they're just there. Careful of that one though, I was drinking out of it. Tends to be an acquired taste, anyway."

He indicates a partially empty bottle of some obscure softdrink.

 

[JimAde]

Dexter pockets the fiver he had put on the desk. "Hey, thanks Sakura," he says. He takes a large bite of his pizza and says thickly, "Mmm. Man, I love those fishies." He sits back at his desk, carefully wipes his fingers with his napkin and gets back to work.

 

[Festy_Dog]

James goes over and takes another swig of his drink.

"Dan, I wonder if the pizza guy noticed the 'D S' written on your forehead," he says with a chuckle.
