02~Company
Boss's blank, white pupils scanned her domain for any anomalies. No open doors or windows, nor even a lock was picked. "How did you get in here Bristow?" She practically spat out the ugly word like something bitter. The corners of her mouth were bending and twisting. A small voice piped up "I let him in!" The happy voice belonged to Blockhead who was happily wearing an apron so he could make finishing touches to breakfast. Boss turned around. Her odd invention that was slung across her back nailed poor Britsow in the jaw (which Boss paid no mind to) as she turned to face the beaming block. She wanted the jester out but was scared to death of upsetting her precious cube. "He wanted to... Er... Play? Or something and... Well I thought it'd be... Fun!" The robot began to totter from heel to toes smiling up a storm. "OOH!!!! Maybe you could stay for breakfast!!!!!" Blockhead said running up to Bristow and grabbing one of his arms in a childlike way "I cooked up a ton anyways!" He looked to his master and as she looked down at him she was afraid he'd bust a fuse from this excitement. A long sigh escaped the dark depths of Boss.
Bristow was having a hard time with breakfast. He didn't eat often and when he did it was almost never completely solid. He picked up some kind of sweet bread on his fork and bit a large portion out of the corner. He tried to chew with his front teeth but didn't get far, for he only had his front teeth and his large canine teeth. He quickly gave up on chewing and began swallowing pieces whole and gagging a bit.
Blockhead was overjoyed that they had company! Boss doesn't really get along with anyone (but Blockhead) much less invites people in. What made him even happier was the fact that he decided to make extra for no reason, later to get the best reason known to block kind! The food tasted extra good today, it could have been because of Bristow's presence at the table or an accidental miracle from Blockhead. Either way was good to the block. He began to pour syrup on his waffles by filling up every chamber of the pastry. Once all the little waffle blocks were filled with syrup he began to just pour it all over until the poor waffle was drenched. He ate as he told Bristow all about his exploits to the different cities of Chromah and how he traveled with Boss. The cube told him about running the mansion and how if you were on the roof you could see all the way to Sallisaw. He paused his speech to take a nibble at his drowned waffle and raised a curious eyebrow at Bristow's eating style.
Boss sat at the head of the table as she always does. She had large portions of meat such as large eggs the size of Blockhead's tv and dragon sausages. Her amorphous mouth squiggled and straightened until her mouth formed into sharp teeth. She tore at the sausages angrily as she looked up watching the repulsive eating habits of the jester. Next to Bristow sat her precious Blockhead. He was telling the jester all kinds of stories using large hand gestures. He was putting so much effort into his stories, it was adorable. She looked to Bristow and noticed he wasn't listening for he was too intent on his sweet bread. Her makeshift teeth began stretching longer and sharper through her hatred. His dumb bells were swinging away causing an annoying chime loud enough to almost cover Blockhead's story. How could he ignore the block child that way!? After all he was working so hard, telling him the details even acting some of it out. She huffed and shredded the large fatty meats that covered her plate. "Ok we're done!" She exclaimed as she pushed her finished plate forward with force. Blockhead looked a bit shaken for he hadn't finished his pathetic waffle. She looked down at the heartbroken screen and smiled her "teeth" softening. "How about you stay and finish and I'll escort Bristow?" She said making her way around the table to where the jester sat, his tongue stringing itself between his teeth. She moved in a sly snakelike way to the brightly colored fool. Blockhead smiled his bright sharp little smile and nodded his tv head, his antennae bobbing. He resumed the waffle as Boss finally reached Bristow. She put a Bocal in the collar of his uniform and forced him to stand by pulling him upwards. Bristow was the only creature in all of her realm that was taller than her. She wasn't able to lift him to his full height, but she managed to yank his collar enough to strangle him into standing. She put a hand behind the Jester's back, her bocals threatening to jab him if he disobeyed her. "Let me escort you out friend." She said and felt a hot bitterness rise through her tongue as she said friend. They began walking to the front door and the jester opened it while Boss shoved him through and slammed the door behind her.
