You have a good meal and receive a sudden call

“...so now Kayne at the southern gate can’t be in the same room as Farkas without making a scene.” Clover waved around her fork as she wrapped up the story from work involving a Farkas from Skyrim and a Kayne from a world you didn’t quite remember at the moment. You had already heard most of it from Morn in HR but Clover had more details. Glancing around at the table at the nearly empty plates, you spoke up.

“So was it as good for y’all as it was for me?” Everyone nodded or confirmed as they finished up their meals.

“The onion rings were a little greasier than I am used to but the burger was pretty good,” Marinette nodded at you. She had been a little surprised at the size of the double stack burger but she managed to finish.

“It could’ve been rarer,” was all Laura had to say. Alex and Gogo gave her disbelieving looks.

“Girl, if your burger was any rarer it would’ve been eating the lettuce,” Alex quipped. You nearly **** on your Bareback cola at that. You give Alex a chuckle and reach over with a fist bump which she only was only slightly hesitant in returning.

“So we just need to get the groceries now?” Ahsoka asked. You shrugged and looked at the time on your phone. It was getting closer to 2 pm and you knew that you were going to need at least an hour and a half to get the essential supplies from Sams’ Club. More time if you wanted to get Aelita, Starfire, and the others’ favorites. Then again, splitting up the party has worked so far…but on the other hand, it would be the first time in a Sams’ Club for most of the girls most likely.

“Yeah, we might need to hurry a little but we should be able to get everything we need,” you frowned a little, wondering where the time went. “Katara wanted us back early enough for dinner prep. We already have the list she and the other cooks came up with.”

“Don’t forget the pickle juice,” Marinette teased. You sideeyed the four empty glasses of pickle juice in the middle of the table, one with a tomato inside and other with the remnants of peanut butter. Diana and surprisingly Alex had really liked the juice and decided to mix some other stuff in. You were not a fool and had mentally added certain tests to the purchase list.

~Bibibibibi~ Your eyebrows rose a bit. You see a picture of Katara wearing a clear plastic tube top and a plastic miniskirt. She was giving a selfie with her right hand trailing down her stomach. It seems Aelita let Katara into your phone again. You might need to ‘visit’ her about it. “Speak of the devil, Katara is calling…”

“Hello Katara? What’s up? You’re on speaker” You say, setting the phone back down. You could make out shouting and things being thrown. Mentally already mourning your wallet, you listened to Katara’s response.

“---ey, James? Can you hear me?” Katara shouted over someone (maybe Blake?) screaming something about milk. “Do you have the phrase Miss Bayonetta gave you?” The phrase being in this case being a word or series of words that Bayonetta implants in the minds of the Characters she provides obedience training (and other training) to so that she and their owners can better control them.

“The one for if her trainees get naughty as she puts it? Or the one for if they are ‘naughty’?” You loved Auntie Bayonetta but she didn’t know how to hold back.

“Why do you need it?” Gogo asked just as a crashing sound could be heard.

“Some people didn’t like the job assignments,” Katara replied. ‘I’m not laying eggs!’ an enraged british-like voice declared as something that sounded like a chair broke. You considered how an egg laying Character(s) could really help with the budget, the harem went through dozens a day in breakfast and pastries. “So about that phrase?”

“Yabba Dabba Do,” you groan, damn you Auntie Bowsette for giving Auntie Bayonetta prank ideas. You immediately overheard several moans through the call. “Of course she swaps the phrases around.” You knew that during your honeymoon, Blake Belladonna and Rayla had gotten Auntie Bayonetta's full obedience course due to their **** of Aelita, Blackfire and some of the others who stayed behind might have gotten her introductory course, and the Naruto maid girls got their maid training (obviously) from her. You wonder who had been the ones to riot over their job suggestions; you figure Aelita or Starfire would let you know.

“Well it got them to stop, thanks for the help,” Katara ended the call without another word. The group looked away as they covered their laughter. You looked around and immediately heard the scrapping of chairs as Characters shifted their attention back to their own tables. The Characters in Gym Buddies uniforms were visibly shaking in laughter.

“Laugh it up,” you roll your eyes, planning your petty **** against your girls and maybe Katara. “I’m gonna ask for the check.” As you shifted to get out of the booth to look for Ryuko for both the check and to give her a big tip. Just as you were getting up, you suddenly felt the rough interior of your jeans. “...someone just took my underwear.”

Your girls looked at you like you were crazy. “I’m serious.” You swept around the room looking initially for maybe a Skyrim type sneak thief or maybe an invisible foe or maybe a Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat.
