Westley: So glad to hv u join us, Wander. As u knw, I'm Westley. Sorry if I look weird or anything. I'm kinda like the little guy of this entire fleet
Wander: It's fine, really...
Westley: I dunno if u've been to the food cafeteria before, bt... [opens the door to the cafeteria] Here we are~
Wander: (sees how big it is) (nod) Mhm.
Westley: Well, here... [led him to the kitchen part of the cafeteria, which was equally as big] ...is the kitchen. The magic of food happens all here
Wander: Alright... (think)... Does your... lord, have certain recipes or does he... mind any new ones, cause...
Westley: I'm the head of the kitchen, so I'm usually in charge of the food, bt ur free to give us ideas or new recipes on wat to cook, its up to u. Lord Hater usually eats in his room, so unless he has a special request, we usually just get him one of evrything frm here for him. He's quite a big eater u knw, evn tho he's a skeleton [chuckles]
Wander: (nod) Okay then.
Westley: Sweet. Now here's the rest of the staff... [introduced to him one by one] This is Pete, Frank, Hodges and Biff
Wander: (waves a little) :) hello.
Frank: Hey, I knw u. Ur the little Star Nomad who Sylvia brought in for a late dinner. How u doing?
Wander: ...a little better, hopefully...
Frank: So ur gonna be part of the staff, eh? Welcome [reaches out his hand to shake]
Wander: ... (does the same) (nod)
[everyone else also shook his hand, welcoming him]
Wander: :D
Westley: Good. Now tht we've all been introduced, its time for us to get ready to cook for lunch. Chop chop, evryone! [turns to Wander] I knw its early, bt its better to get an early start bcoz we're feeding a lot of ppl in this ship and then some.
Wander: (nod) Okay. Anything I can do?
Westley: Ur new, so u get to do something simple. Go make the soup. We usually serve 3 types of soup for the sake of choice. N I'll let u choose wat soup u wanna make. Bt make sure to lemme taste them first before u serve it out
Wander: (nod) (goes to get started)
[everyone went to their stations to make the food]
Wander: (mixing the soup a bit)
[soon evryone finished their stuff just in time an hour before lunch]
Westley: How's the soup going, Wander?
Wander: (does a quick taste test) should be okay, but if you still wanted to double check...
Westley: Sure [tasted each soup] Mmm, gobbleberry stew soup... Nitro beef soup... and giga corn soup. Nice, u did great, Wander. Lord Hater was right to put u in kitchen duty
Wander: :)
Westley: Alright, ppl, lets serve up! We've got hungry ppl to feed in an hour! Chop chop! [clapped his hands]
Watchdogs: Yes, sir!
Wander: :) (glad he did a good job)

Broken Pieces-Chp15
[the nxt day, there was a meeting of Watchdogs at the hall]
Hater: [sat at the throne] Peepers, headcount
Peepers: Yes sir. (starts counting who was here)
Awesome: here, bro. (to Sylvia) how is the little guy?
Sylvia: Good, so far. Well, he had a bit of a nightmare last night, no doubt he has a small guilt abt Ryder's death. bt he'll pull thru with our help
Awesome: I see...
Hater: All present n accounted for, Peepers?
Peepers: (think)... we seem to be missing your new member, sir.
Hater: Ahem, right. Well, tht's the whole point of this meeting, of course. Wander, come up here
Wander: (slowly steps forward) yes sir...
Hater: [gestured to Wander] This is our new member of the Hater team. Say hello to him, evryone
Watchdogs: (do so, saying hi and waving)
Wander: (just nods in response)
Hater: Alright. Frm now on, he's part of us. U look aftr him, n he'll look aftr all of ya in return. N no bullying each other. Tht is not wat we do ard here. Remember wat happens wen I find u guys bullying [held out his hand at them, crackling with green lightning threateningly]
Wander: :O
Watchdogs: o_o yes sir!
Peepers: Will make sure of that, sir.
Hater: Good [lowered his hand dwn, then turned to Wander] Now I hear tht ur proficient at cooking n cleaning, so I will put u mainly under the cafeteria staff to cook for u all, n then during ur free time, u will help out with the clean up crew to help out with any cleaning necessary. Is tht alright with u?
Wander: (think)... yes, sir...?
Hater: Good. U got all tht, Peepers?
Peepers: Of course, sir.
Wander: (can't seem to stop glancing at Hater)...
Hater: [turned to look at Wander for a while, then gave him a gentle pat on the bk] U'll be fine here. Ur safe [turned to the crowd] Westley! Westley, where are u?!
Westley: [jumped up n dwn to be seen frm the bk of the crowd, flailing his hand] Here, Lord Hater~!
Hater: Ur the head of cafeteria. Go show Wander ard, got it?!
Westley: S-Sir, yessir!
Hater: Meeting adjourned [patted Wander's head one last time n left]
Wander: (looks back at Hater one last time... before following Westley to the cafeteria)
Hater: [sat at the throne] Peepers, headcount
Peepers: Yes sir. (starts counting who was here)

Broken Pieces-Chp14
[later that night, after dinner, Sylvia brought Wander to her room to spend the night. She laid out a futon n a quilt for him nxt to her bed]
Sylvia: I hope u don't mind sleeping on the floor, Wander. I got a bit of a backache coz of my last excursion to scout a planet for Hater, so I kinda need to rest in bed. Doctors orders
Wander: It's no trouble, really.
Sylvia: Thank goodness
Captain Tim: [got on the futon first n rolled ard for a while before settling in, sighing in content]
Sylvia: Looks like Capt Tim agrees with u
Wander: (chuckle) He does.
Sylvia: I'm surprised u decided to keep Captain Tim's name, since u didnt exactly name it
Wander: Well, it does seem to suit him. (pets Captain Tim's back) :)
Sylvia: I suppose so. [a short pause later] I bet ur curious wat exactly did we give Ryder, aren't u?
Wander:...what? (is curious)
Sylvia: Its called Desert Powder. Technically used to absorb water during construction time at plcs where building needs to be built, especially the swamp. Bt in the wrong hands, a vry lethal poison to ppl regardless the species. One teaspoon is enough to kill at least 3 ppl, bcoz it reacts to liquid n absorbs all water inside ur body system, making u die of extreme dehydration. Tht's why Ryder was so thirsty n kept asking for water just now
Wander:... (nods in understanding)... (worried if he would survive that...)
Sylvia: N Lord Hater used 3 teaspoons on Ryder... He must care for u a lot to go tht far to torture tht guy... [sighed n smiled knowingly]
Wander:... maybe so...
Sylvia: [smiled at Wander brightly} Alright, I'm gonna turn in first. If ur still not sleepy, there are books on the shelf u can read or my laptop to use. Good night [lay in bed n went to sleep]
Wander: (nod) (sits on his futon) ... (digs out cellphone... scowls as he deletes a certain number from his phone.)
(later that night)
Wander: Zzzz ... (stirs a bit)... mm...
[scenes of Wander's old life flashes before him, the days where he was still abused by him. Scenes of Ryder bashing him, shouting at him, screaming obscenities at him, raping him, filled his dreamland, n it ended with Ryder, moaning n crawling ard in the basement he was chained in, looking like the mummy he had died in as he moaned out "YOU KILLED ME! YOU MURDERER! MURDERER!!"]
Wander: no... N-no... (starts squirming, breathing unsteadily)
Captain Tim: [wakes up hearing him, whining worriedly]
Wander: Ryder... don't... no...! >< (starts thrashing)
Captain Tim: [yelped as he was hit frm his thrashing, hitting a shelf nearby]
Sylvia: [snorts awake] Wh-Wha...? Wat...? [turns to look ard, still blur]
Wander: (jerks awake) !! (breathing heavily) ... (bit shaken)
Sylvia: [noticed him] Wander? Wander, buddy, u OK? [came to him, sitting nxt to him, bt beware not to touch him, since she knew frm experience tht touching someone who just had a bad dream was a bad idea]
Wander: ;( I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I...
Captain Tim: (gets up) :( ?
Sylvia: Shh, shh, shh... [hugs him n rocks him gently] Its OK, its OK. It's all ovr now. Ur safe, buddy
Wander: ;( / ( (hug) s her closely)
Captain Tim: (nuzzles closely to him)
Sylvia: There, there... Shh... [hummed a random lullaby for him n rocked him to sleep]
Captain Tim: [fell asleep first in Wander's lap]
Wander: (slowly calms down... starts feeling sleepy again...) (yawn) ...(falls alseep against Sylvia)
Sylvia: [smiled n sighed in relief before laying him bk dwn on the futon n returned to bed, yawning as she went bk to sleep]
Wander: (in deep sleep)...
Captain Tim: (cuddles next to him)
Sylvia: I hope u don't mind sleeping on the floor, Wander. I got a bit of a backache coz of my last excursion to scout a planet for Hater, so I kinda need to rest in bed. Doctors orders
Wander: It's no trouble, really.

Broken Pieces-Chp13
Wander: (looks around Hater's ship, seeing how large it really is) This thing is huge...
Sylvia: Yup. The ship of Lord Hater, No1 Super Star. It had to be big [chuckled, then called the intercom] Hey, Peepers. We're ready to go. N we hv a new crew member joining us
Peepers: new member? When did...?
Sylvia: U'll find out soon. Lets get this thing off the planet. Oh, n tell the chef to fill up the food court. Our new member is hungry
Peepers: Alright then.
Wander: ? Peepers?
Sylvia: Yeah, he's the 2nd in command of this ship. Helps to do things mostly Lord Hater won't do or too lazy to do. I'm surprised he didnt find Peepers to come up with the idea to rescue u
Wander:... I see... (glances again to Hater)
Hater: [was chugging dwn a drink Awesome brought for him]
Sylvia: C'mon, lets go. I'll show u the food court
Wander: (think) ... (nod) Okay.
Sylvia: [took his hand n led him to the food court]
Wander: :) (follows)
[the both of them soon reach the food court, where it is huge n clean n smelled amazingly of food]
Wander: :D smells nice.
Sylvia; Yup, best chef in the nine galaxy [showed him the buffet selection] Take ur pick. Help urself. Make urself at home. Its ur new home now, aftr all
Wander: :) (checks to see what they have)
Awesome: He seems happier now... (whispers to Sylvia) But I suggest keeping an eye out if he has any breakdowns or such...
Sylvia: Yeah, its a no-brainer, aftr all he had been thru. I'll watch ovr him for now. U try to keep Hater frm pushing him too far n we'll try to help him heal n recover frm all this
Awesome: Gotcha, Bee. ;)
Wander: (has picked out his food choices) ^^ (sits down to enjoy)
Sylvia: Stop calling me Bee! [grumbled as she punched his shoulder, then went to sit with Wander aftr grabbing some finger sandwiches] Nice. Dig in. There's more where tht came frm
Awesome: ><... (she likes me ^^)
Wander::) (starts eating)
Sylvia: So, I nvr reli got to properly introduce myself. Sylvia. Sylvia the zbornak [held out her hand]
Wander: Wander, ma'am... (slowly holds out hand)
Sylvia: Don't call me ma'am, makes me feel old. U can call me buddy, like I'm calling u buddy, buddy [shakes his hand]
Wander: ... (nod) mhm.
Sylvia: I hope u'll be able to get used to staying here, n also get along with Hater. He's a bit of a manchild, bt his heart is in the right plc. U'll see
Wander: (glances once again to Hater) ... Okay...
Sylvia: [smiled n petted his head] Don't worry. I'll be hanging out with u for the moment. Awesome will take ovr my position in the meantime. Just holler if u need anything, OK?
Wander: (flinches a bit from being touched on the head, but slowly relaxes)... Mhm.
Sylvia: [notices it] I knw ur scared, bt u'll be alright. Time heals all wounds. So be strong, OK? N we will lend u a helping hand wen u need to
Wander:...thank you...
[the two of them just made small talk as they ate]
Hater: [was hiding at a corner watching them eat n make merry, n secretly sighed in relief tht it was all ovr, tht he had cured his guilty conscience by saving Wander frm Ryder]
Awesome: you did the right thing, bro...
Hater: Hmm, I suppose so. Do u think it was a bit of an ovrkill tho?
Awesome: Well, at least you chained him up in case he DID survive, -.- or becomes a zombie.
Hater: Tht's not something to make fun of, Awesome. I told u I've seen crazier things out there. I wasnt gonna take any chances
Awesome: Right. But still, you managed to get the little dude out of there. But it might take some time before he can completely trust you, from the looks of it...
Hater: [sighed] Didnt give him the best impression, I suppose. I wouldnt blame him if he still hates me
Awesome: He just needs time, bro.
Hater: Yeah, whatevr. I've done my job. I'm going bk to my room now [left to his room]
Awesome: (think)... (looks to where Sylvia and Wander are still making small talk)
Sylvia: [was chuckling as she petted Wander's head again, somehow, to Awesome, seemed rather beautiful n feminine, wat with her being so rarely kind n soft-spoken since she's such a tough girl]
Awesome: (^///^ she's so awesome.)
Wander: :)... (I might like it here, much better then with Ryder...)
Sylvia: Wat a cute smile u hv. Wat's on ur mind, buddy?
Wander: Just... feel I might like staying here...
Sylvia: Tht's good. Bt there is one thing u need to knw abt Lord Hater tho
Wander: ? That is...?
Sylvia: Lord Hater is a conqueror. Planet conqueror to be exact
Wander:... I see...
Sylvia: Don't worry. Yeah sure, he conquers planets, bt only wen he thinks that planet is dying and can't survive by itself. Usually small planets with creatures that are doing more harm than good to themselves. N also planets where the ppl r bad n terrible. He would not conquer a good planet that can survive on its own, n he knws his limits wen he sees a planet with a leader stronger than he can handle. He didn't try to conquer Planet Citadel, remember?
Wander:...I guess not.
Sylvia: N u don't hv to participate if u don't want to. We can do all the work while u stay on this ship. Bt u hv to make urself useful. Everyone has a job here in this ship. Wat are u good at?
Wander: (think)... I have done cooking once in a while, and a bt of house work.
Sylvia: I suppose that's pretty much wat u did wen ur with Ryder anyways. Alright, I'll tell that to Hater n maybe he can decide on a suitable job for u here
Wander: (nod)
Sylvia: U can sleep with me tonight. Starting tomorrow after u get a job frm Hater, u will hv ur own room
Wander:... thank you, Sylvia.
Sylvia: Ur welcome, buddy. Welcome to the crew [chuckles as she gently patted his bk]
Wander: ^^
Sylvia: Yup. The ship of Lord Hater, No1 Super Star. It had to be big [chuckled, then called the intercom] Hey, Peepers. We're ready to go. N we hv a new crew member joining us

Broken Pieces-Chp12
[a couple rounds later...]
Hater: I'll go get myself a drink
Ryder: Naw, don't trouble urself, Wander can get it for u
Hater; I prefer to get my ass off the seat n take it myself, thank u vry much [glared at Ryder]
Wander: ... (sees Hater enter the kitchen)
Ryder: Geez, fine, wat evr rocks ur boat. Ur boss is kinda uptight, isn't he, Syl?
Sylvia: It's just him being grouchy. He had a bad day today at work
Ryder: I see...
Hater: [went to the kitchen n went to the fridge to get a beer, then walked past n slipped something secretly into Wander's hand before returning to the table for another game]
Wander: :O... (sees what Hater gave him)...
[it was a tiny pouch, with a note attached to it for Wander to read]
Wander: ... (glances to others, then reads what it says)
Note: Serve ur dishes in portions, then put the powder tht is in this pouch into ur boyfriend's food. Tell no one
Wander: :O... (nod) (gets to work, doing so)
[aftr a couple more games...]
Ryder: Hey, toots! Dinner ready yet?
Wander: Coming right up. (pushes the trolley with the meals, gives Ryder his first)
Ryder: Abt time [takes his food n started eating]
[evryone else got their share of food]
Wander: (stands aside)...
Ryder: [grimaced a bit] Is ur food kinda spicy a little, toots?
Hater: Its a little bit spicy [pretends to agree, evn tho his food wasn't spicy]
Sylvia: Umm, yeah, a little [pretend to agree as well] Why, Ryder? Can't u handle a little spice? U used to eat fire whiskey chili con carne for breakfast evryday
Ryder: I've sorta havent eaten tht in a while, being on the run n all. Toots, go get me another drink!
Wander: ... (turns to do so, keeping his eye on Ryder)
Ryder: Hurry up! I'm parched here!
Sylvia: Geez, take it easy. He's going already
Hater: [just quietly ate his food]
Wander: (hands over the requested drink) ...
Ryder: [snatched it n chugged it dwn, bt still feels parched] More!
Sylvia: U want mine? [passed him her drink]
Ryder: [snatched it n chugged it dwn too]
Wander: ... (glances to Hater, as if asking 'is it working?')
Hater: [doesn't reply, just kept looking at Ryder]
Sylvia: U alright, Ryder?
Ryder: [started making wheezing sounds. He kept asking for more n more water n drinks, even drank all of the three guys' drinks, bt he was still getting thirstier n thirstier n soon collapsed on the floor struggling to breath]
Wander: (puts on a face of pretend concern) baby, you ok??
[all of them crowded ard Ryder]
Sylvia: How much Desert Powder did u give him?
Hater: Abt 3 teaspoons
Sylvia: Damn, that's enough to kill 10 ppl, sir!
Ryder: [his eyes widened in shock as he realized wat was going on, then he groped for Wander, as if wanting him to save him]
Wander: ... (isn't sure whether to take his hand or not... but doesn't really want to...)
Hater: [leans close to Ryder n whispered] I'm taking ur toots with me, n u will rot here n die [takes Wander's hand n held him close to his chest]
Ryder: [eyes widen again in shock, then glared at Wander in betrayal, trying to grab Wander towards him, bt he started shriveling up like a dried prune n turned mummy before collapsing to his death]
Wander: :O...
Awesome: So long... 'bro'...
Sylvia: Well, I've always wanted to kill him. Bt u did it better than I did
Hater: [looked dwn Wander] U alright, furball?
Wander: ... (gives a glare) You finally decided to help me out?
Hater: Gee, ur welcome [walked away to nudge Ryder to make sure he's dead]
Sylvia: Seriously, ur ok there, buddy?
Wander:... yeah...
Captain Tim: [whining n scratching at the door of the tool shed weakly]
Wander: (hurries to open the tool shed door) :) Captain Tim.
Captain Tim: [whined, was reli hungry as he had been kept hidden in the shed with only bugs to eat since Wander was imprisoned in the basement]
Wander: :( Come here, buddy.
Slyvia: Wander? [chased after him n saw him there] Everything alright, buddy?
Wander: Captain Tim doesn't seem to be doing so good... fella must be starving too... (petting him)
Sylvia: Well, feed him wat u can, then u can come with us to the ship n get outta here before someone finds out abt this
Wander: (nod)
(Wander manages to feed Captain Tim a few scraps, then gets rid of the maid outfit)
Hater: [carried Ryder dwn to the basement with Awesome's help, then sees the filthy bed n the chain n grimaced] Hand me the chain, Awesome
Awesome: (does so)
Hater: [tossed Ryder to the floor n chain his leg to it] Just in case he survived this or turned zombie
Awesome: Right .3. if that's possible.
Hater: I've seen crazier things traveling the galaxy. U'll never knw
Awesome: uh huh.
(Wander steps into the room)
Wander: ...thanks again...
Hater: Don't mention it. U n ur pet good to go?
Wander: Mhm (holding Cpatain Tim)
Hater: Good. Lets blow this joint.
Sylvia: I found ur hat [puts it on Wander's head]
Wander: :) ... (sigh) Should've asked Ryder how to make it go back to normal, but now... :(
Sylvia: Don't worry. I'm hauling his stash. We'll find a way to break the spell. C'mon. Lets go to our ship. We got a food court~ ;)
Wander: (licked his lips)
[the gang soon left the home n made their way to the ship station n got to Hater's ship]
Sylvia: Wanna give this plc a last look before we leave?
Wander: what for...? (wants to be rid of memories of Ryder for good)
Hater: Yeah, wat for? He's suffered enough
Sylvia: Not helping, sir! Alright, buddy. Lets go then
Hater: I'll go get myself a drink
Ryder: Naw, don't trouble urself, Wander can get it for u
Hater; I prefer to get my ass off the seat n take it myself, thank u vry much [glared at Ryder]
Wander: ... (sees Hater enter the kitchen)
Ryder: Geez, fine, wat evr rocks ur boat. Ur boss is kinda uptight, isn't he, Syl?
Sylvia: It's just him being grouchy. He had a bad day today at work
Ryder: I see...
Hater: [went to the kitchen n went to the fridge to get a beer, then walked past n slipped something secretly into Wander's hand before returning to the table for another game]
Wander: :O... (sees what Hater gave him)...
[it was a tiny pouch, with a note attached to it for Wander to read]
Wander: ... (glances to others, then reads what it says)
Note: Serve ur dishes in portions, then put the powder tht is in this pouch into ur boyfriend's food. Tell no one
Wander: :O... (nod) (gets to work, doing so)
[aftr a couple more games...]
Ryder: Hey, toots! Dinner ready yet?
Wander: Coming right up. (pushes the trolley with the meals, gives Ryder his first)
Ryder: Abt time [takes his food n started eating]
[evryone else got their share of food]
Wander: (stands aside)...
Ryder: [grimaced a bit] Is ur food kinda spicy a little, toots?
Hater: Its a little bit spicy [pretends to agree, evn tho his food wasn't spicy]
Sylvia: Umm, yeah, a little [pretend to agree as well] Why, Ryder? Can't u handle a little spice? U used to eat fire whiskey chili con carne for breakfast evryday
Ryder: I've sorta havent eaten tht in a while, being on the run n all. Toots, go get me another drink!
Wander: ... (turns to do so, keeping his eye on Ryder)
Ryder: Hurry up! I'm parched here!
Sylvia: Geez, take it easy. He's going already
Hater: [just quietly ate his food]
Wander: (hands over the requested drink) ...
Ryder: [snatched it n chugged it dwn, bt still feels parched] More!
Sylvia: U want mine? [passed him her drink]
Ryder: [snatched it n chugged it dwn too]
Wander: ... (glances to Hater, as if asking 'is it working?')
Hater: [doesn't reply, just kept looking at Ryder]
Sylvia: U alright, Ryder?
Ryder: [started making wheezing sounds. He kept asking for more n more water n drinks, even drank all of the three guys' drinks, bt he was still getting thirstier n thirstier n soon collapsed on the floor struggling to breath]
Wander: (puts on a face of pretend concern) baby, you ok??
[all of them crowded ard Ryder]
Sylvia: How much Desert Powder did u give him?
Hater: Abt 3 teaspoons
Sylvia: Damn, that's enough to kill 10 ppl, sir!
Ryder: [his eyes widened in shock as he realized wat was going on, then he groped for Wander, as if wanting him to save him]
Wander: ... (isn't sure whether to take his hand or not... but doesn't really want to...)
Hater: [leans close to Ryder n whispered] I'm taking ur toots with me, n u will rot here n die [takes Wander's hand n held him close to his chest]
Ryder: [eyes widen again in shock, then glared at Wander in betrayal, trying to grab Wander towards him, bt he started shriveling up like a dried prune n turned mummy before collapsing to his death]

Broken Pieces-Chp11
[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.
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!

Broken Pieces-Chp10
[during tht week while Wander was in captivity, Hater couldn't stop thinking abt Wander. His words stuck to his head n he kept seeing his tearful angry face everytime he tried to close his eyes to sleep. He couldn't understand why an insignificant furball like him would hv so much impact on his mind. The image of him eating so much food n the thought of him going without food bk with Ryder somehow bothered him. It took a toll on his sleep n he was in a bad mood everyday. Even Sylvia n Awesome noticed his change]
Awesome: He's starting to feel guilty about the little guy, isn't he, Bee?
Sylvia: Sylvia, its SYL-VI-A. N yeah, something like that. U should've seen tht little furball shouting at Hater like tht. No one ever shouted at him like that before, n tht was some pent up anger the kid got there
Awesome: I know, I've seen it. But the only reason he can't stand up to Ryder is who knows how'll he'll react if he even talked back to him.
Sylvia: U seen the furball exploded before? Wen was tht?
Awesome: No I mean whenever Ryder tells him to do something, it looks like he might explode but he can't seem to do it.
Sylvia: Ah, I get ya. Yeah, its not the best way bt its the smartest way. The last time I knw someone exploded at Ryder was one of the cabin boys who couldn't stand Ryder's bullshit anymore. Guess wat he did?
Awesome: .3. Do I want to know?...
Sylvia: Well long story short, he threw him out of the ship thru the airlock alive n let him suffocate in space, then hunted dwn his family dwn to the very last person in his family tree n killed them, just to avoid revenge frm the family
Awesome: :O Damn.
Sylvia: Yeah, he's tht petty [groaned as she massaged her temples] Now tht I think abt it aftr so many yrs away frm him, I'm still surprised how I was actually able to stay with him tht long
Awesome: So... what do you suggest we do? We gotta get the little dude away from him somehow.
Sylvia: Dunno. Tht is up to Lord Hater to decide. [sighed] To think I used to hv a crush on Ryder...
Awesome: O_O you did??
Sylvia: Yeah. I was young n stupid. N he was so bad ass at the time. So yeah, just a small crush. It was until he killed tht cabin boy n his family tht I stopped crushing ovr him
Awesome: I see... but how do we convince Hater then, to help him out?
Sylvia: Not sure. Maybe... [stopped wen they see Hater coming towards them] G-Good afternoon, sir. Anything I can do for u?
Hater: [turns to Awesome] Awesome, u said u got this poker game with ur friend at Planet Citadel. Who is it?
Awesome: If you mean that Ryder guy... that's who he is.
Hater: [nodded n thought deeply] Arrange a poker game with him. Tell him ur bringing a friend along as well. Sylvia, ur also coming with us for the poker game
Sylvia: W-Wait, come again?
Hater: U heard me. Get it done, Awesome [walked away]
Awesome::O ... Yes sir.
Sylvia: Wat was tht abt? [scratched her head]
Awesome: I think Hatey might have a plan in mind.
Sylvia: Tht's a first. Well, lets go get it done then
Awesome: Yep. (calls up Ryder)
Awesome: He's starting to feel guilty about the little guy, isn't he, Bee?
