Wednesday, 9am, Dunkin Donuts parking lot.
A serious looking, black SUV, pulled up. A bunch of serious-looking guys dressed in serious black and red full battle gear and very serious guns piled out. They deployed in a very military fashion to the door, hiding behind other cars, various shrubbery, trashcans, or frightened onlookers.
When they were in position, they sent the all clear back to the SUV. Inside various terrified civilians harried the group of cops, but they were adamant that, until there was actual breaking of the law, they would not put down their donuts.
Meanwhile, three very important, but still serious looking people emerged from the SUV. The first was a small man, in red and black leather, who had "toady" written all over him.
He stood in rigid attention as a blue-eyed, blue-haired, dominatrix-looking woman climbed out. Finally there emerged a very pale-skinned, lizard like man in another S&M like outfit.
They entered the Dunkin Donuts and got in line. Everyone who had been in front of them got out of the way.
"Oh, isn't that nice?" Lizard man said in a truly smooth evil voice. They approached the register and the terrified cashier.
"Good morning," he said cheerily, "I am Scorpius."
The cashier stuttered, "ah-ah g-g-good morning sir, um How may I help you?"
Scorpius turned to his toady, "We'd like 3 dozen donuts, plus twelve large coffees, black, seven large coffees with cream and sugar, five large coffees with just sugar, six mediums with cream and sugar, and one large with cream, no sugar-"
Scorpius looked meaningfully at the cashier, "No sugar in that one."
"Y-yes, um what kind of donuts would you like."
Scorpius thought about it, "just mix them, but um," he lowered his head briefly, then raised his eyes, "make sure that you put a powdered one in there."
"Yes sir," she squeaked, and then she and everyone else dashed into action.
"Oh dear," Scorpius said, "I hope no one minds us taking up all the staff."
He looked at everyone else, who all shook their heads.
He grinned, "Excellent."
About half an hour later, they all piled back into their SUV. Scorpius sipped his coffee and then grimaced, "she put sugar in here," he growled.
"Maybe that's the wrong one," the nurse said.
Braca turned back to the peacekeepers, "Anyone have the cream no sugar?"
They all shook their heads. Braca took Scorpius' coffee, "I'll go get the right one," and then went back in.
A few minutes and several screams later, he came out went to the SUV with the correct coffee.
"The cashier was very apologetic," he said. The Dunkin Donuts exploded, "but I told her it was alright."
"Good," Scorpius said, taking the cup, "now back to the base." He munched on his powdered donut, and looked down with distaste as he realized the front of his serious black leather outfit was covered with powdered sugar.
"Does anyone have a napkin?"
