The Battle for the Sandwich

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

“I WANT IT!” I scream, and run up and grab the sandwich and disappear into a manhole before deciding ‘no’ and jumping back out and hiding under a rug

[Potato's Wit she/her]

I trip over the rug, making BlowUpper drop the sandwich. I pick it up & run away.

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

I grudgingly allow Haly out of her confinement.

I hurry after Forgettable, happy to be out of my confinement.

[Immortal Platypus]

the most random thing? I would say that me being an immortal platypus is the most random, but, oh well.

I jump down from the ceiling (I'm a ninja immortal platypus) and land on Ookla the Forgettable. "Sorry Ookla!" I yell, escaping (hopefully without dilemma) back to the light dimension as 3/4 of the Shard looks at me confused why I'm apologizing.

The dilemma must be within 2 minutes of this post or it doesn't actually happen.

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

I look around, then head for a burger joint.

I need some fast food after being told I shall be in confinement until the Ookla season is over.

I find it supremely unfair.

[Edema Rue she/her]

Unfortunately, on the way to the fast food place, you are re-confined. 

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

“NO!” I beat my fists on the side of the confinement. “LET ME OUT! I JUST WANT SOME FOOD… PLEASE…”

Hmm. It would appear that your idea didn’t work out so well.

Quit gloating. Leave me to be mad in peace.

[Edema Rue she/her]

No one noticed, however, because you forgot to bold your actions, and so you have been forgotten. 

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

Ah! Therein lies my salvation.

I carefully and clearheaded my find my way out and spend several blissful hours in a fast food place and arcade.

The shadows Claim the sandwich once more, by magic

HOW!!!? I'm in a literal realm of light!!! What magic lets them do that?!!!!!?

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

Happy in my hotel, munching snacks and looking through character references, I start humming.

”How much is that dragon in the window…”

[Immortal Platypus]

I want a dragon. It could incinerate the shadows for me.

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

“The one with the firey breath… how much is that dragon in the window…”

[Immortal Platypus]

"I'll buy it even if it's not cheap!!!! Probably. No guarantees." I sing then say from outside the hotel window. "Can I come in? I searching for a very specific sandwich and I can't seem to find it. Those blasted shadows!!!"

“…I need him to burn you to DEEEAAAATTTTTHHHHH!!” I sit back, feeling happy about having finished my favorite song. Then I realize here’s somebody outside. “Sure, come in.” I open the window. “Who are you? I’m Haly.”

[Immortal Platypus]

"I'm Phillip. Nice to meet you Haly. (Do you pronounce it Haelee or halle) That's not how I remember the song going, but I like your way better. That's how I'll sing it now. Thanks for letting me in. It's kind of chilly out there. Stupid underworld heat always making me unprepared for these temperatures. Have you seen any shadows with a sandwich head this way? I need that sandwich. Do you want to help me get it?"

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

“Hello, Phillip.” (Hal-ee) “I haven’t seen a shadow with a sandwich, but sure, why not? I’m just happy to not be in confinement. Ookla the BlowUpperOfStuff took over for Ookla season. It’s not fair. But oh well! There’s a sandwich bar downstairs. We could look there.”

[Immortal Platypus]

"It could be there I guess. Good a place as any I guess."

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

I start down the stairs, then realize I left my stuff. I come back, grab my bag, and continue.

[Immortal Platypus]

I follow Haly down the stairs.

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

We arrive in the sandwich bar. 

“Pardon me, sir, have you seen The Sandwich?”

”Why yes. Right here.” Hands me a wrapped sandwich “Five dollars.”

I pay. “Thank you. Here, Phillip.”

[Immortal Platypus]

"Yay!! The Sandwich!!! I don't even want to know how this ended up here. Do you want to go find a dragon now? It could be fun."

“Dragons are the bestest! Yes, we should do that!” I pull a quarter out of my pocket and throw it at the chandelier.

Nothing happens, but I expected that. “You lead this time.”

[Immortal Platypus]

"Fine."

I catch the quarter and toss it at the lightbulb next to the chandelier. Nothing happens, but it looks cool.

Then I head southeast where dragons are known to rest.
