Shut Up and Standby

Matthew, Tyrell, Karis, Rief, and Amiti settled in to a nice meal in Kaocho.

No one noticed the purple light slip from Karis's bag.

A few minutes later, a rather short waiter came to the table. "Ahhh… you buy food here? What you want…?"

"I'll have the Kaocho Bun today, thanks."

"Rice ration with extra dumplings!"

"TYRELL! MANNERS!"

"Yeesh…"

"I'll have two Kaocho Buns."

"…"

Karis poked Matthew. "What do you want?"

"…"

"A rice ration, please. With green tea."

"That be all? Ahhh… Tank you…"

Once he was far away from the Adepts, Jolt slipped the hood off happily. "They'll never know what hit them! Mwehehehehehee!"

"Gosh, what's taking our food so long?" complained Tyrell.

"I hate to agree with Mister Fail Hair, but-"

"WHAT?"

"-It's not like they're busy or anything-"

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?"

Several hours later:

"BAAAAAAAAAANZAI!" shrieked something above.

"YEEEK!" Karis fainted dead away as a purple… thing swooped down from the sky, dropped food on everyone, then landed on the table.

"Ether! Why did you do this?" Scolded Jolt.

The fair Jupiter Djinni rose out of Karis's bag angrily. "I didn't do this! You know-"

But Jolt was already in the bag, forcing Ether out.

When Karis came to, all she saw was Ether sitting on the ruined table.

"ETHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!"

"Curses!"

"MY FOOD!"

"Good Sun have mercy."

"…!"

Hiding from all of this, Jolt smiled slightly.

"Wow," Gust and Breath said in amazement. "You're a pro."

"Yeah, I know," he bragged.

Gust scooted to the other side of the bag. "Get away from me."
