Getting a Sweet Fix 🧁
who: Malakai & Agent Cupcake @disruptedlogic where: by the best place in the world Emilio's Cupcake Truck 🧁 when: Somewhere in the hours of the Night
Ever since the shit show of the Gala, Malakai may have taken it upon himself to do daily recon around Cerberus Corp. Just the usual, keep an eye out for anything suspicious, out of the haps or even gathering some entail from the little chit chats he'd hear around. It was always good to be in the know. Yet he knew that all the Agents were more than likely on their best damn behaviour or some crap like that, protect the image of the company or some corporate crap. Nope, even the thought of large corporations was making him feel queazy.
For his mini side quest, this time he kept it low-key, black hoodie and dark jeans. The only thing bright about him was his freshly dyed pink hair. He was a new year, new look kinda guy, always a chance to keep the look fresh. But at least it was not the bright pink suite that Ampi was still chewing his ear off about. Like it was his fault he looked good in the suit and the dramatic mask made a statement. A good looking statement. However, he was going to be a good boy and not draw attention to himself. New Year's Resolution...one that he knew that he was going to break sooner than later.
Recon so far was quiet...maybe it was the timings he picked. His first time slot was a little after breakfast rush and a little before lunchtime rush and his second slot just before evening rushes. Perfect times when Agents would be stuck at their desks having their mandatory breaks, so he could roughly guess the spots he didn't want to be seen. All about being lowkey, right? Being lowkey was hungry work after all. Malakai looks at his phone. Yeah...yeah he could call it a break. Even if he worked for 5 minutes. Apart of his Vigilante task, he was the one that made the rules. When Ampi wasn't around a least. Still he was a free soul and called for a little pick me up.
He stood in line with about three or four people ahead of him. Standing in line for the best place in the world. The people before him were stood before one of the greatest Agents that Cerb Corp could be blessed to have in their ranks. Forget the oh so greats of Hades, Granite, Ymir, Loveshot, Flare or Whirlpool. Nahh forget about them! This legend was were it was really at, Agent Cupcake. He was the one who kept it real. The only agent, Malakai had respect for! And maybe some merch...like a keychain or fanmade Funkopop...and the really creative gods of Etsy. Malakai finds himself bouncing up and down in line. You know totally keeping his chill.
One person now ahead of him in the queue. He was totally chill. The inner fanboy in him was chill. Unlike before, he had rehearsed his reply a few times in the mirror. Hands in the pocket, light nod with a 'Sup', make an order, pay his respects with a thank you....and maybe....just maybe get a handshake or a little salute. Oh heck yeah, that would be awesome. Stay cool and lowkey. All that Malakai had to do.
Then it was his turn in line. And he stood their frozen. Taking him a few moments to realise that he was next to be face to face with his all time favourite hero. Shaking it off, he muttered to himself,"C'mon Kai, chill and lowkey, chill and lowkey." He tells himself over and over like mantra. Shoving his hands in his pockets and when his eyes locked on Emilio his inner fanboy took over, "Ahhh hey!" he squeals out.
And game over...New Year's Resolution broken.
