The group rumbled, shaking the entire cheesecake factory.

"What was that rumbling? =U"
"My tummy."
"I don't mean this as a joke, Helen. That rumbling was quite harsh. :U"
"Yeah.......but it's nothing I'm sure."
"We've been waiting almost an hour for our meal, I don't want to get up to check what's wrong, it's gotta be coming soon!"
"The waiters seem quite alarmed about something, but I can't hear what they're whispering about. :V"
"Well......"
"If it was important, we would be evacuated."
"I suppose you are right..... :U"
The two wait in silence for a few minutes. Classless-7 struggles to listen to the wait staff's rushed gossip. Helen is the one who breaks the silence.
"The mural in here is pretty funny isn't it?"
"I suppose it is made by clowns. :U"

While the mural has many images, one stands out, of a giant monster being freed from shackles.

"What an outlandish thing. The clowns are freeing the monster. :V"
"Well, in the next part, the monster is playing skip rope with them, so it's ok!"
"Helen, I believe the monster is using its tail to "pulverize" the clowns. =V"
"Ah...so they're not jumping they're.....flying....."
"Well, at least everything in the end works out!"
"For a world of fun and magic, it truly appears to have some dire backstory..... :U"
"Well...this planet is a prison. Those usually aren't nice places."
"Why are clowns on a prison? :U"
"Clown crimes."
"Clown crimes? =U"
"Actually, I don't think the clowns are the prisoners here, so, I actually don't know......"
"Ah...... :U"
"............................................"
"Helen..........why have you taken me to cheesecake factory? :V"
"Cause I'm hungry and you just happened to be around!"

Classless-7 paused, wondering if he should bring it up.

"But what about what I did last time? =V"
"O-Oh, uh, yeah shooting that hohun was really rude!"
"I aimed that weapon at you. :V"
"Well......"
"You weren't really planning on shooting me. You just did that cause your friend forced you to."
"......................................................................."
"................................................................................................."
"I-"
"Oh!!! Hold that thought!"
"OVER HERE THAT'S OUR ORDER!!!!!"

The clown hops over, placing a large covered plate on the table.

"Oh man I can't wait, it's been too long!"

Helen lifts open the dish......

"That's not a cheesecake."
"Classless-7..........................."
"I'm starving."
"There appears to be a note attached, lets see...... :U "

"Hi, uh- I know you don't know me, and likely won't ever, but.
I found your snakevine's badge and photo on the ground.
And while I wasn't able to get the snakevine back, I did the next best thing I could.
I'm terribly sorry that you've lost something so dear to you, and I hope it at least eases your worry to know that your snakevine is alive and well.
Take care, and I hope this does something to ease that ache."

"It says this is the child of Woggles. :U"
"Uh oh.......Mr. Classless 7, I think we got the wrong meal."
"What do you mean? It seems like a gift to me. =V"
"Well, I did own a snakevine called Wiggles before-"
"You did? =U"
"You already forgot......"
"But this is the child of Woggles......I think the people who just left were supposed to get this snake!"
"I remember when Wiggles went missing, it sucked.....We should try to catch up with them and give them their snakevine back!"
"The name even reminds me of Wiggles.....they must really be hurting...."
"Plus they....."
"Likely have our order Mr. Classless-7."
"We must move posthaste. :U"
The duo make quick of leaving the cheesecake factory.
No one is typing.
