Kaytie strutted around the store, going after some new clothes. It had been a while since she had clean clothes, and since it was hard to wash anything here, she decided a new outfit was in order. She walked around, throwing random things into the cart which she would sort when she got back to her room.
After making her way to the cashier, who was, amazingly, present for this trip, she paid for her new clothes, and a few other essentials. She stepped outside the store, and was amazed to see there was some activity about.
And someone was angrily coming at her, which caused her to put her hand just under the hem of her short skirt, and right on her throwing stars should she need them. "I'm armed, and you'll be dead if you don't stop right now," she warned the stranger.

Tamuril stepped out from the shadows of Mount Doom. Dressed in a butlers outfit, a tea towel over her arm.
"You rang." She drawled in a monotonous tone. Serving tea in silver teacups to Kaytie and her assailant.

Kaytie looked at the situation and found it weird that someone serving tea with a Lurch-esque voice was stopping her from being attacked. But she didn't think twice about it, and took the tea. "Thanks," she said, taking a sip. It was good tea!
"Thanks, whoever you are," she continued, slowly, unsure of herself. "Who exactly are you, and what kind of power do you have that stopped an attacker?"

"I am the fabled Tamuril. I have journeyed across oceans to be here in this moment in time....." She paused for 2 hours then continued. "My powers.....are that of the ancient tea jujitsu." She threw a cup of hot tea in the attackers face. "POW!"

Alledyra peeked around the corner of an aisle, just in time to see a cup of steaming hot tea thrown into the face of a shadowed someone by a woman in a butler's outfit, while Kaytie looked on in shock. She grabbed the last bath towel that was sitting on the shelf in front of her, tossed it negligently around her neck, and shook her head, this was gonna be some shopping trip! The price on the tag was a bit much, but it would have to be for Egilyptian cotton blend, and she knew that only Egilyptian cotton would be accepted at this years Banquet of the Towels, so price wasn't really a matter of concern.
Stepping boldly out into the aisle, she walked semi-casually towards the Ancient Tea Thrower, and company, and queried, "Have you seen the silver spoons?" Her gaze skimming over the sodden mess that was once an attacker, "I can't seem to find them today." And smiled brilliantly at the two women.

Kaytie finally broke free of her shock and fell over, laughing. She couldn't believe that this was happening, mostly because it was nonsensical. She decided that Dyra was the safest of the three others at the moment. "Yeah, I know where they are," she said, running off quickly to leave the scene for a few minutes.

While the two ladies were talking and the attacker was screaming with hot tea in their eyes Tamuril changed out of her butlers outfit into a frog costume. It had a huge mouth that opened so wide you could see her whole head inside.
"Silver spoons?" Tamuril asked, looking extremely confused. "Why silver?" She said standing aside to reveal a shelf with spoons in every imaginable colour.

Shrugging her shoulders, as she looked over the spoon arrangement, she answered Tamuril as she perused the selection, "Well, I think it's because gold tastes horrible...but the main excuse used at the Banquet of the Towels is that it's much to gauche. Only the newly rich use gold, and no one wants to be thought of as newly rich." The hot pink towel she had draped over her shoulders twisted to one side, and she pulled it back into position, letting the strange flowerlike pattern find it's own path across her, she continued, "I really do think it's quite silly, but tradition must be maintained, and since I'm not even close to rich, I have to follow the rules set before me. You two should come to the Banquet! It's supposed to be a blast, as in at the end they blast the place apart with fireworks, and we all end up back where we started, but hey...one blast is as good as another, isn't it?" Although she realized that she was mixing authors up at this point, she really couldn't help it. Douglas Adams had always wanted to visit Xanth, and she was sure that this was one of the best ways she could allow him to do that...here in Night World. Smiling with picturesque precision, she waited for Kaytie to return with a silver spoon, and for Tamuril's response...

Tamuril was confused by golden spoon talk. She had always preferred plastic colourful spoons to metallic ones because you could jump on them afterwards, and as such she could see no reason why anyone would want the metallic kind. But each to their own.
"A Banquet hey..." Tam rubbed her chin deep in thought. "Well if there's food I'm there."
Unable to think of anything else of importance to say she simply said. "Do not douche." And proceeded to fill her basket with a rainbow of plastic spoons.

Kaytie came walking back with some spoons, and wearing a different skirt. "Sorry, I got something on mine, careful for all the angry fish who like to spit on you," she said, handing Dyra a silver spoon. "Now, where are my tacos?"

Tamurils voice boomed from inside her frog costume. "THE TACO KING IS COME." Although this announcement was rather unnecessary as a giant taco (equivalent to a 6 story building) decsended from the heavens, smashing through the shops roof and landing several metres away.
"Lay down your metallic spoons peasants!" The taco cried, salsa sauce spraying everywhere. "Yee needeth no hands for the eating of moi, le giant taco, not le giant douche."

(Am I missing something? A giant douche?)
Kaytie went up and hungrily took a bite of the giant taco and smiled, salsa running down her face. She turned and tossed the spoon to Dyra and took another bite. "Giant taco, I love you, where have you been all my life?" she squealed.

Cassiel walked into the store and saw Tam in a frog suit standing next to a giant talking taco that was being eaten by a girl she'd seen a few times but never talked to. Dyra was standing nearby with a bath towel around her shoulders. Cassiel's face broke into a grin. After the last mission she went on, she was glad that some things never change.
She walked over to the group to get reacquainted with everyone and to meet the new person. "Hey ladies, what's going on?"

(no.....why wouldn't there be a giant douche? suppositories are in the next aisle if that's what you were looking for....)
"Clearly it's a mexican bonanza Casserole!" Tam cried doing the mexican hat dance around the taco monstrosity.
The taco buried Kaytie in guacamole. "WILL SHE SINK OR WILL SHE SWIM? TUNE IN NEXT WEEK ON TACO EXTRAVAGANZA!!!" Bright coloured lights flashed around the room, gameshow music playing loudly as the audience applauded.
They began to throw enchiladas at the girls. Tam opened her frog costume mouth and let the enchiladas rain down into her open gob. "Show business." She mumbled between bites. "Gotta love it."

Using her towel to keep salsa, avocado dip, and cheese off of her pretty new shoes, Dyra found an extra bag of chips very handy, and proceeded to help get rid of all the extra green stuff. Enjoying every bite. She smiled brightly as she answered Cassiel's question. "I think we're having a pre-banquest banquet. But I'm not sure." Dyra paused as she tucked in another chip heaped with guacamole, and then continued, "I'm really not sure, but it is delicious. And it definitely tastes alot better than my last mission did." She grimaced, remembering the taste of Beezey Bob's Insect Repellant Taste Test Shop. It might not have repelled the insects, but she'd been outta there after her second taste, Buzzy Buns made from bonafide Buzzy Bees.
Pulling up a chair, and tucking the towel around her shoes, Dyra waved at the other vacant seats as she chewed contentedly, and mumbled around a mouthful of taco insides, "Pull up a seat? I think there's more than enough!"
