The room was not huge but it would suffice. "Yanna make sure we have enough cards won't you! And Cassi go help Kai get the snacks won't you. Take the Private with you he can help you carry it in. Yup that's right Antako you wanna sit at the grown up table you got to share the load. What's gonna work?" He called out and chuckled as the whole room came alive with the musical response of,
"Team work."
"Dang straight." He said mentally eyeing the two big spots on either side of the table they had drug in there. Yeah there was room the big guys Darkmoon and C'Rell should be comfortable. He had sent them invitations the day before and he hoped the Chief of security would have the time available to join them.
Krang approached the indicated room and pressed the chime, requesting permission to enter.
C'Rell stalked down the corridor, his large frame taking up half of it. He stopped along side a creature that looked like a large primate from the Terran homeworld. They were called Gorillas if he remembered right. "Greetings Lieutenant. I assume your presence was requested as well by the Major?" He asked, his nose twitched slightly as he memorized the scents he smelled. He reached out and palmed the door open. "After you." He motioned for Krang to lead the way.
"Yes." he replied, "He said he was putting on a poker game."
Del smiled up at them as they entered. "Ah! Yes Welcome! Welcome both of you. Teams grabbing refreshments and Kai has Plort locked in his castle for the night so everything, with luck, should go smoothly. If not well at least we have security present." He said jovially going over to shake both their hands.
Krang actually laughed out loud at the joke. "Yes, but if things were to go sideways, I would be implicated as well."
"Well I won't say anything if you don't." Del retorted with a wink and then to his XO. "I am glad you could make it. I put Jackson in charge from Alpha he is straighter then parallel lines and harder then a rock. So we have a couple hours."
Krang chuckled again. "You certainly have a way with words."
C'Rell had entered behind Krang to stand to the side. He nodded to his CO. "Very well Major, do the troops need a hand?" He asked wondering who all had been invited. He seen Yanni near the table checking various items on the table but none of the others.
As if by thinking about them he might have summoned them into being. Kai, Cassi and a poor Rhys entered then. Rhys was pulling a red wagon that had balloons tied to the back and little tinkling bells on the side. It was loaded with the hot food dishes and he wore a bright blue apron that matched Kai's that had little panda bears holding spatulas on it and he sported a tall chiefs hat as well. He took it good naturedly. Kai had dawned a pink apron after all with Snails wearing bunny ears on it and wore her own hat. Most of the hold up had been Yani refusing, hands down, to wear the green apron with the spaceships on it. Rhys had even offered to trade his panda's for the space ships.
The trio was in good spirits though. Rhys smiled when he saw the two extremely big guys. "Hello" He said with a wave.
"No private no in French tonight. Just like I asked." Kai warned, her voice was that of a little child pretending to be a mother correcting a naughty toddler.
"Désolé madme, mais mon français est comme un castor." Rhys said his brow furrowing as he tried to remember it right. (Translation: Sorry madme, but my french is like a beaver.)
Del stepped forward then and shook his head. "Private don't you listen to them. Go grab a seat and for goddess sake take that hat off."
"But I like the hat." Rhys said, this caused the ladies to all burst out in fits of laughter except for Kai.
"That's right Rhys, I told you, it's not just a hat it's an attitude." Kai said proudly her own tall hat on her head she beamed at the Private.
"Yeah well that hat has enough attitude to act as a giant dick to the face, so take it off and find a chair." Del said as he went to raid the wagon as it had stopped on its way to being unloaded at the other little table by the door.
