Dawn of a new city (Urhr93)

[that man]

"That place that hired my mom before she went missing?" Samus blinked, Dawn suddenly feeling very awkward as she couldn't sense any real emotions off of that. "If you're thinking of working there, I'd suggest letting us take a picture of you so we have it for afterwards."

[Urhr93]

<Missing?> she asks curious, both about what happened and the reason she wasn't so emotional about it <Sure, you can take the pictures... but can you tell more about it? I'm not sure about working there, but I want to be informed so I can deal with it if it ever happens>

[that man]

"Well, she went missing a long time ago, so I had to go onto the streets," Samus replied, sitting down a little nervously when she added, "if it wasn't for her, I probably wouldn't have had to resort to...well, you know, and would have had to take one of their job offers."

[Urhr93]

Dawn felt a bit awkward as her words probably poked Samus in the wrong places, so the change her mood she raised her voice and <Well, let's not talk about it any more. What about those pizzas? Are they here yet?>

[that man]

"Not yet," Sai shouted, apparently raiding the fridge for something to drink as Samus scooted closer to Dawn, even going so far as to use her shoulder as a pillow.

"Don't act sorry for me," Samus replied, knowing exactly what Dawn was thinking. "If you do, you'd have to feel sorry for everyone else like me."

[Urhr93]

Dawn watches as Sai goes, letting Samus come closer in the meantime <If you say so> she comment, not wanting to make it any more awkward and continuing <Do you think we'll be able to get through every pizza she ordered?> saying so in a joking tone, though she also thinks about just how many pizzas the delivery man had to take here... just thinking about it made her pity him. Maybe they should give whoever comes a reward? Yes, sure, just an excuse to have more people to consume the food. Sai may eat a lot, but Dawn seriously doubt herself and Samus could imitate her, so she whisper before the girl comes with the drinks <Maybe we should ask the delivery man to join us? Even if she can eat all that, I doubt we'll be able to hold>

[that man]

"Well, might as well ask them to join," Samus shrugged, resting her head on Dawn's shoulder a little more as her hand slid down onto Dawn's leg. "I mean...what exactly can one do with that many pizzas? They would probably prefer a money based tip, but being paid to do this would probably be a nice bonus."

[Urhr93]

Dawn pinched Samus hand, and while doing so she held it up and away from the leg <Exactly what I was thinking. At least with an additional mouth we'll get over them faster. Or... since there are so many pizzas, we could also have a game over them. Drinking games, you know... though it might be better to call whatever we pick a pizza game, since the loser has to eat> thinking such she grins, trying to think of something that could be entertaining to do.

[that man]

"Right," Samus sighed, waving her hand around to try and get the pain she was experiencing out of it the only thing getting her to stop being the door bell ringing. "Do you want to get that, or should we let Sai do it? She honestly still seems to be getting drinks."

[Urhr93]

Ignoring the hand-waving Samus, Dawn gets up <I'll get it> and proceeds toward the door to see who it is, half-expecting the delivery man.

[that man]

At the door, Dawn was a little surprised to see the pizza delivery person, not so much for the reason they we're here, but because they were someone she had known from high-school who had dropped out and moved away.

"Hello ma'am, your total is-" she began, only looking up and seeing Dawn after checking the order. "Um..."

[Urhr93]

Opening the door Dawn recognized the delivery girl standing there on the other side of the door... or at least she roughly remember her from high school. At the time she steered away from all her peers and didn't interact much with anyone, so even remembering her was a feat in itself... though maybe it was because she dropped out, something that doesn't happen often.

At least she shouldn't know about her police career, though the different name issue might bring about some annoyance, some she didn't want to go through so she just asked <How much?> deciding to talk about the past only if the girl brought it up first.

[that man]

"$589.50," she replied, moving to the side as she added, "although, that's just the tip for all of us delivering it, the pizzas were paid for."

Before she could explain what she meant, at least four or five guys pushed their way in the room carrying at least a dozen pizza boxes each, catching her, and Samus, the only calming her down being, "so where do you want us to put these anyways?"

[Urhr93]

<5...589.50?> Dawn parrots, incredulous at the total price. She knew Sai ordered a lot of pizzas, she already estimated a large number... but in the end, she was still underestimating the girl. If previously the idea of inviting the deliverymen was just an idea, now it was a need.

<Is that so. The tip> Dawn nods <Well, the owner will pay it, though...> she once again remains quiet when at the sight of the pizzas coming in as well as the five guys carrying them <... put them down in the sitting room> she said, mentioning the only place that came to mind that could keep all those pizzas <Also... it seems that the owner went a bit... overboard as you can see. Tip aside, would you and your colleagues like to keep us... company? We are three girls and I fear we won't be able to eat all that>

[that man]

"Fine, I guess that would be one of the best options for you guys," she sighed, walking and and closing the door behind her, taking out a flask of sorts and offering some of it to Dawn as she was walking by. "It's okay, I've got two more of those things. Besides, it's not like our pizzeria had to buy some boxes from our competition so we could properly move this order."

"Okay, I got some of the so-" Sae sang as she entered the room, stopping as she saw the number of people who were in here, Samus already holding an oddly reserved conversation with the guys, already sharing from some of their flasks with her. "Oh, hey I didn't think I'd be getting you again. Sai, have you met Alice yet?"

[Urhr93]

<Thank you for your understanding> Dawn smiles, inviting them in and accepting the flask, drinking a sip before following her in. Samus is already getting cozy with the other males <What? Do you know her?>

[that man]

"Yeah, she brings us our Pizzas a lot, and I usually pass out when she comes here," Sae explained as she started pouring all of the soda out, Alice looking away with the hum on her face of someone who had done something that was probably wrong. "Well, I guess I'll go get the money for your tip then so you are free to leave when you want to."

"Yeah yeah, I'll be sure to not do anything then," Alicia replied, Dawn thinking she saw her do something out of the corner of her eyes, although that might have just been her mind working overtime.

[Urhr93]

<Is that so?> Dawn answer, taking another big gulp out of the flask and going to sit somewhere, though the part about passing out felt somewhat strange.
As Sai went to get the money for the tip Dawn kind of saw Alicia do something, though she didn't exactly see what... or more like she wasn't even sure she actually did something. Drinking another sip while getting comfy on her seat, Dawn looked at the girl and said <Is there something wrong?> then adding <Since you come often, what do you usually do?>

[that man]

"Just stay here, eat pizza, and try not to do anything stupid to her," Alicia replied as she looked away, drinking from her flask as Sai almost sailed into the room, giving them what seemed to amount to almost $600 worth of hundreds before downing her drink in one gulp.

"So, how are you doing?" Sai sang, sitting still for a second as she reached for a piece of pizza...and then face planted inside of it, snoring loudly in the pizza as everyone else in the room stopped to look at her.

[Urhr93]

<Is that so?> Dawn nods, then stares as Sai gives away a great amount of money before straight up faint shortly after drinking the whole flask down.
Was she weak to alcohol? Right now it didn't matter. The important thing was that an abnormal amount of pizzas were there and their strongest eater was down for the count.

Sighing, Dawn took a long gulp out of the flask to prepare herself for what was to come and then, while beginning to eat one of the pizzas, she talks <Too many pizzas. Want to play a game? The loser of each round has to eat a slice> at least only the unlucky would have to do so. And so she wait to see if they agreed, as well as letting them suggest the game if they accept, or anyway any suggestion about how to continue the rest of the evening.
