@showbizburgers ... 'Kay. I'll be waiting. [Mew took her pizza, and headed straight out the door.]
@SPARKLESLASHER [ It's fifteen minutes before Melvin emerges from the back, still in uniform, one order of garlic knots in his hand. ] Thanks for not, y'know, bailing.
@showbizburgers You think I'd bail on free food? No way. [Mads was sitting atop the dumpster, hopping down when Mel exited the back door.]
@SPARKLESLASHER Hey, you wouldn't be the first. [ Now that the dumpster's free, he's hopping on. It's been a while since he rested his feet. ] C'mon, Mew, they're still warm.
@showbizburgers Whatever. [She grabbed a handful of messy, greasy bread knots and shoved one into her mouth.] How was work, pizzabutt.
@SPARKLESLASHER Shitty as always. Y'know how it is. [ He pops one into his mouth, trying not to dwell on the greasy texture for long. ] At least you make it interesting.
@showbizburgers Well. Someone has to. [Mads leans against the brick wall of the building, popping another one in her mouth. Beats ghost food.] Retail isn't much better, if it's any consolation.
@SPARKLESLASHER Yeah, uh, thanks for that. [ Honestly, he's had these for dinner so many times, they've become bland for him. Still, if his friend's enjoying it... ] Maybe I'll come by one day. Try and cheer you up.
@showbizburgers I might bite you. I'm never in a good mood while I'm working. [She cracks a little smile. That was a joke, right????]
@SPARKLESLASHER BITE me? After everything I've done for you? [ He's being dramatic. Part of being an ex-theater kid. ]
@showbizburgers Don't get your pizzapants in a bunch, Macbeth. I'd only bite you if you were REALLY getting on my nerves. So, uh, don't do that.
