[another week later, Ryder manages to find time to invite Awesome n his gang for another game of poker. He let Wander out of the basement so tht he could clean n cook dinner for the group]
Ryder: [undid his chain n tossed him a towel] Go up n take a bath, u stink. I bought evrything u need. Go get cleaned n go clean the house, then to the kitchen to make dinner. Pronto!
Wander: ... Yes... (heads for bathroom)
Ryder: [went to chk on the beer n the Thunder Blazz in the fridge]
(A few hours later, Awesome and the gang show up for the game)
Awesome: Been doing good, bro? (secretly scowling at him)
Ryder: Of course, bro. U said u got company with ya to join our poker game last time u called. Who is it?
Awesome: Just a friend, she wanted to join us.
Ryder: She? Well, well, looks like u got urself a tail finally, eh? [nudged him teasingly] Well who's the lucky girl?
Sylvia: [shows up] Hello, u pustule snarfblatt. Remember me?
Ryder: Sylvia! U blitherin' pyjak! U got out of the slammer already?! Long time no see! [laughed]
Awesome: |-( (clearly jealous)
Sylvia: Yeah, no thanks to u
Ryder: Aww, c'mon, u not mad at me, are ya? I was gonna bust u out, bt u knw how it is, with the space ship blasted by the coppers n all. No hard feelings, eh? [clapped her bk]
Sylvia: Sure, whatever. U look like ur doing pretty well with whatever boodle u nicked frm us wen u left me behind
Ryder: Well, wat can I say? Imma survivor, yeah? Hey, chk out my new tail, eh? Hey, toots! Come ovr here! N u better be wearing tht sexy maid outfit I gotcha!
Wander: (has emerged from the bathroom, and takes notice that Sylvia is there. Is shocked to see her, but also confused...)
Sylvia: [cleared her throat as if signaling Wander to pretend not to knw her as she turned to Ryder] Is tht a star nomad? Where in nine galaxies did u get him?
Ryder: Found him in Planet Tyron wen I was still on the run frm the coppers a few yrs bk. Saved him frm a bunch of scavengers trying to tear his ass up. Ain't he a beaut?
Sylvia: Huh, u don't say... [bt secretly disgusted by how Ryder made Wander wear tht embarrassing maid outfit in public]
Wander: ... I can get started with the grub... baby. (adds the last part with secret sourness)
Ryder: Good. Get to it then, toots [waited until Wander walked past him before he smacks his butt n laughed] So, just us three?
Sylvia: Oh, my boss is tagging along. I work as a bodyguard now.
Hater: [shows up n nodded in greeting]
Wander: ... (glances) Your boss...? (gets to making the food)
Ryder: Dont get distracted, toots [turns to Hater] Welcome, welcome, to my humble abode
Hater: Hmm, I've seen better plcs
Ryder: Ahaha, well, wanna get started on a warm-up, eh, Awesome? Just a couple test rounds before we get serious?
Awesome: Bring it on, bro.
