Rats!!!!
RagnarRB
Ragnar stands at the door to the frig, looking in. The half inch pie stuck on his face has been hollowed out around the eyes. In the refrigeration room Sword and Leaped are chomping away. At this rate Leaped won't have to worry about being skinny for long. Sword? Where does he put it?
Behind him Mrs. H. is helping to free the others from the pie cocoons that have them stuck in various spots in the kitchen. One of the Kitchen assistants rushs in and begins to rant!
"Frelling Phantom..." Ragnar's shoulders slump and he takes a deep breath. "Sigh, what to do what to do?" He doesn't even notice the chefs finger wagging in his face.
He snaps his fingers and his face brightens. "Got it!!" Well as much as he gets anything other than pies these days.
Spinning on his heels, he contimplates which pie cacoon contains Annisette. Mrs. H. just about has TickTick and SunAeryn free so it must be that one. Reaching out he sticks his hand in and groaps for something solid.
"Yooowelll!!!." Ragnars hand comes flying back shaking vigerously. "She bit me!!!"
Ragnars cracking the cacoon weakened it enough for Annisette to begin pushing free. "Watch that hand buster!" She sputters.
"Sorrrryyy, I need you phone."
"Help me up."
"Phone."
"In the boot." Ragnar reachs...
"No you lune the other one." Ragnar digs out the phone while helping Annisette up.
"Where's Sword and Leaped?"
Oh cue. "Look Brownieman Icecreme!"
"Give me! Brownie man must consume the villianous fiend!"
Ragnar gestures with a thumb over his shoulder. Annisette peers around him to look. Less to clean up I suppose.
Phone in hand the big pirate clothed viking begins punching the operator. Absently he reachs over and tweeks a bit of pie off TickTicks ears. Cann't have those precious things covered. TickTick swats at his hands. "Stop that!"
"Hello operator...Devious Servalliance Inc. please. Yes the Strange happenings unit....DSI?....Yes, your hired...where am I...basement kitchen...no I'm not a DOMINION employee...no those Scapers aren't at it again..." His hands cover the phone as he listens to a few choice words. He actually holds it at a distance for a moment. "Yes you calm now?....ok....heres what I want...camareas, motion detectors...the works...hereplease....yes yes....yes...payment...DOMINION account...I know I said I'm not an employee...Bill 'em...Fine..." He hangs up.
"Now we'll see how you do this the next time you sneeky Phantom" There's bound to be a next time. He turns to the chef who's busy sulking about the mess. "Our apologies to RNLYNN now get that pie rebuilt!"
Ragnar screams at the ceiling. "You got the pie but we got Gort! Na na na na yourself!"
The gang had their hands on their foreheads, and its not to wipe off pie!
Phantom Hunter -- Let’s go back upstairs to work
Gathering the gang around her once more...MrsH puts everyone on the elevator, pushes up and takes them all back to her sitting room.
TickTick -- Wait! What’s that noise?
The Ticker asks suddenly...
The gang stops on the stairs, Mrs.H. wavering a bit after all the exertion.
"What noise?" Ragnar says, pausing.
Sword swings his head around, listening. Lucky charms fly off here and there and hit Annisette in the head.
"I thought I heard...never mind. Maybe it was just the wind."
Leaped swallows. "The wind? Since when did we have a wind in the kitchen?"
The gang looks around at each other. Confusion is showing on several Scooby Scapers' faces.
"Everytime we've felt a breeze..." Ragnar says, eyeing the Ticker carefully.
"The PHANTOM IS NEARBY!!! I'LL DRAW HIM OUT!!!!" Sword proclaims, drawing his sword and bounding from the stairs back into the kitchen.
"Wait Sword! Wait for us!" the gang screams.
The door to the stairwell slams shut.
Leaped runs to it and pulls the handle.
"It's LOCKED!!!!" he shouts.
"OH NO!!! THE PHANTOM HAS SWORD!!" TickTick screams, forgetting to save her voice. The gang cringes from the highpitched sound and looks around frantically...
Annisette -- Huh?
Sword steps back in...thought I heard something. OK lets go..up to the sitting room.
