"You're welcome! Have a nice day." The woman turned away, muttering about flying sea animals.

Just as the woman turned away, a familiar, nearly squeaky voice called out to her. "Ma'am, three chocolate fudge cones with raspberry syrup for me, if you will."

Walking up to the serving area was Arthur, with two large men at his side, the same ones from the last time.

The woman gasped. "Um... yes, yes of course!" She hurriedly made the cones.

"What a dear, isn't she?" He aimed the question at the two men at his side, neither of them seemed to respond as they watched the area with apathetic expressions.

Handing the cones out the window, she smiled nervously. "I hope they're to your liking."

Melody turned and saw Arthur. She waved.

Arthur smiled at the woman before handing a cone to each of the guys at his side, keeping one for himself. "Thank you darling; I'm sure they'll be wonderful."

As Arthur turned to leave, he noticed Melody. "Hello there, I didn't think I'd be seeing you for a little while."

"Same!" Melody grinned. "It's good to see you, Arthur."

[The Ward's Guard he/him]

Just now, Condensation said:

"Same!" Melody grinned. "It's good to see you, Arthur."

Arthur glanced at the men at his side, "it's good to see you too, although I can't say the same about your friend. I honestly can't believe that you've not only stuck with him, but that he also hasn't gotten himself killed." Arthur spoke as he gestured to Ellis, taking a few steps towards Melody and her table. The men at his side watched not only those at the table warily, but also Arthur.

"Turns out he's quite unlikely to get himself killed." Melody giggled. "But I'm not stuck with him, we're sticking together. We were just getting hot dogs."

Arthur made a face of disgust. "Hot dogs? Why on earth would you purposefully go out and buy them?"

"Hey! I happen to like hot dogs! Anyway, we're introducing Q to good hot dogs."

"I suggest doing her a favor and buying Hamburgers instead. As my boss always say, 'there's not such thing as a good hot dog.'" Arthur looked dead serious for a brief moment before laughing at his own comment.

"We already got the hot dogs. They came with marshmallows and Starbursts!"

"Wait wait wait. You got Marshmallows, but no Graham Crackers and chocolate? Please tell me that this was his idea." Arthur gestured towards Ellis.

Arthur clutched his heart. "Oh thank the counter, I thought for a moment that you hadn't been taught the sacred ritual of 's'more making,' now that would be horrible."

"That it would. Who're your friends?"

[xinoehp512 he/him]

"Who is this person?" whispered Gerald.

[The Ward's Guard he/him]

Just now, Condensation said:

"Just some guys who got assigned to be my handlers. Now tell me, how's that whole business with the sword going?"

"Ellis swung a sword at me. Oh, and we're getting a scabbard in a week."

"Yeah. Apparently the sword shape is weird. Why do you need handlers?"

Dr. Who Octopus awoke with a splitting headache.

Groaning, he disconnected his interface from his main computer. Apparently, even a complete reboot hadn't been enough to fix the damage.

A mordite blade. How in the world had one shown up here, of all places? But perhaps it wasn't too surprising, given that Gerald had been involved...

Gerald. Dr. Who Octopus clenched his tentacles. That cursed squid, foiling his plans time and time again. But this time, he'd gone too far.

Dr. Who Octopus was going to take over the cosmos. And this time, no squid would stand in his way.

"Hmm, oh them? They're here to make sure that nothing bad happens to my organization of course, no matter the cost." Arthur began to lick his ice cream, looking at Melody straight in the eyes as if to give some sort of nonverbal message, but he clearly wasn't very good at it.

"Why are you... staring at me?" Melody giggled, taking a bite of her ice cream. "Oh, that wasn't a good idea!" She raised her hand to her forehead. "Brain freeze!"
