Now normally Dee Dee would bring her own food cart, however this time a request came in on the forum for someone that could help run a food stand, and she thought it would be in poor taste if she brought hers along as well, Granted she kept it all in pieces in her inventory anyway so if she wanted she could pop it out, set it up, and get to work at it as well if required, but considering the situation she figured it wouldn't be needed. with all her things ready she nodded to herself and used the fast travel feature of the waypoints to get to the area. Then She pulled out her new Warp Star and hopped on, she was told where it should be so she flew on over.

Flying over the Area Dee Dee was able find the place and get to it rather quickly, and so she flew on down towards the location of the stall, a few people pointing up at the flying star with the small girl on it, and as she landed the star seemed to poof and then disappear as it went back into her inventory, Dee Dee looked and seen the one at the stall was in fact Andy and she waved over to him as she took out her word bubble and let it float near her head as she walked over the words appearing in the bubble "Hello again I didn't expect that it was you asking for help to run a stall here! and I see the Menu is rather a good one!" the words appeared in the word bubble floating near Dee Dee as she looked over the stall and and she started to get accustomed to where everything was "Oh right I am the one that responded to the help request by the way" the words appeared in the bubble again for him to read.

"Well I am glad I was able to answer too I don't mind helping out someone with cooking after all, and yeah I just need to see the menu so I know what it is I am making, And yeah this one was a great one, got it when I leveled up! same with the Warp star! I can now fly around if need be" the words appeared in the word bubble as she gave a thumbs up, and she looked over the menu so she could see what she was going to be cooking and nodding to herself, she then took position by the cooktops and then realized a small problem... namely her stature, but before she could ask about it Andy produced a Stepstool and she gave a thumbs up and took it happily and hopped up on it giving her just enough height, she then realized standing on it would mean taking time to hop down and get things which would slow her down.

To deal with the new Issue she summoned BombDee "There now I don't have to go running around for things BombDee can get them for me and I can focus on helping to cook!" the word bubble read as the Waddle-dee gave a little Salute and seemed ready to work, as he started to wander the stall and learning were everything was kept "I would summon the others but I don't wanna take up to much room here, and while I am used to working around them I know you don't have the same experience so it's better to keep it down to just one extra" the words appeared in the word bubble next as she looked over the cooking utensils.

"Unless we need emergency cooking heat in which case at that time I can summon Kramer for his flames, other wise we should be fine with just the three of us I think" the word bubble read as Dee Dee gave another thumbs up and then produced a tomato for Andy "Oh right here, a nice tomato to start the shift!" the bubble read as she handed one to BombDee and then nibbled away on one herself.

As she nibbled on the Tomato she looked at Andy as he asked about her items or rather the method in which she got them and she nodded the Word bubble filling with her answer "Yeah I have been doing nothing but picking the Question mark option every level, at first it was because when I first leveled up I was in a tight spot and hoped for something that could help me, that's when I got BombDee and with his help I had no problems getting through the situation I was in! But the Trade off is that I got very few Stat points, I am level seventeen now but I am likely far behind in stats then someone my level should be, but I have a lot of items that can help me out so that should be fine! I also have a neat passive from my class that will make up for my lack of stats for a while" she gave a thumbs up.

"Of course having a snack at the ready is one of the main survival tips in the guide book, you never know when you might need to eat! Also the mystery option on leveling up is covered in the book along with all the pro's and cons of it and the other options you get when you level up!" the word bubble informed him as she looked over to BombDee and pointed at the register, the Waddle-dee looked at it and hopped up onto the counter so he could reach it and after a few curious presses seemed to get how it worked and gave another little salute/

"Yeah he figured it out, it's not that difficult thankfully since he has seen me do much the same when we work the Food Cart, Also Waddle-dee's are very adaptable and can do many different tasks! As for summoning the others.. Sure having them out would be nice for them as well" she then summoned the other Friends Kramer and Jimmy, who quickly found nice out of the way places, though Jimmy seemed to find a place near the waste bin "If we have any food not finished by a customer or maybe a wrong order, instead of tossing it away we can just give it to Jimmy... Trust me he doesn't get full I think he's using it to fuel his growth, but don't worry he won't go on an eating rampage he's smarter then that" the word bubble said as she gave a thumbs up. Then she got ready to cook what with the people gathering for the festival now.

Listening to his question about her stats Dee Dee was going to reply but people were starting to gather, and she remembered someone telling to not share her info with to many people, so she figured better to send the answer in a message since he would be the only one able to read it. at least for the answer to the stat question, and so she started to type it up between making food, the good news was she was very proficient at cooking, after all she had to run her own food stall, though she was slowed down a bit due to having to hop off her step ladder to get some ingredients but it didn't slow her down to to much she easily kept pace with Andy as they both cooked.

The message she sent him through the systems Messaging system would read as "currently I am level 17 with 18 in all my stats, I haven't been working to increase any of them above any others for the time being, as having a solid foundation is important especially with my class abilities, though I think I will focus one I am higher level!"

The work of the Small girl continued with BombDee rapidly working the till and taking the points from people ordering food, as well as tossing the orders they made onto the pile for Dee Dee to go through to make, all in one nice process as he would then grab the prepared and plated food and hand it out to the person waiting, the Small creature clearly used to this kind of hustle... and only falling off the counter top once, which thankfully Kramer was down there to help him back up quickly so work wasn't to slowed down.

hearing Andy thank her guide book for helping him get a useful item Dee Dee gave a thumbs up to him as the word bubble floated into his view a bit "Glad I could help out! and grats on the great roll" that was a good to hear, the Mystery option was always a roll of the dice but sometimes if gave quite a good fitting item or skill, after all that's what her inventory and skill list was full of from that, and they all helped her especially with her stat distribution sub par as it was for her level, granted with her core Abilities and her Skills she was actually around the thirty to forty mark in all stats so that was quite handy.

Though then she heard some customers asking about the guidebook and she looked over at Andy as he made the suggestion to send Kramer out to hand them out, "Oh that's a great Idea!" she admitted through the word bubble and she took a large amount of Guide books out and placed them by where Kramer was staying, the Baby Dragon already knowing what was about to be asked of it and so he grabbed some and moved over to the side to hand them out to people that wanted them as they waited for their food, or had already gotten it.

Dee Dee herself was doing quite well with the work she was set to do, keeping a good pace and making the food required was rather easy since she knew what it was she was meant to be making, she would fall off the step stool a few times trying to reach for things but somehow... every time.. she never dropped anything or she managed to catch it so the food wouldn't get dirty in any way, and some started to think it was an act rather then just the small girl fumbling and being quick enough to fix it.

Dee Dee continued her work, her stumbling was infrequent but it was there, but each time it happened she managed to catch, if not herself, at least the food and keep it safe, but she never got injured, though as she was serving up some of the food she had cooked up and passing it to BombDee she seen the message pop up and she thought about the answer as she continued to cook, looking at the size of the booth she took a second to think on how larger the star grew when it was being ridden and then she took one last look around before sending a reply "The area is to small for the star, it gets larger when it's being ridden, Don't worry I just have to get used to using a stepping stool, my Food cart is sized for me and so I keep forgetting that I am not on the ground while working here".

She sent the letter as she made the next order, the crowd was large but it was very slowly thinning out, it was good it was busy that meant there were a lot of people here that wanted to enjoy the festival, and on top of that it also meant that Andy got to try out his menu since she assumed that this was the menu or a prototype of the menu he would want to run once he got his place, he had mentioned wanting to be cooking for people after all so she assumed he wanted a proper restaurant.

BombDee was working rapidly as well, nearly falling off the counter a few times but he caught himself as well and continued to do his work while scooting around to get the finished food and hand it to the customer that ordered it, the process was going quite well really, and the Waddle-dee took a second to take a breath before returning to the frantic pace, thankfully working at Dee Dee's food cart had prepared him for this, in fact this was a bit easier since he didn't also have to help cook and manage the food all he had to do was run the till so it was manageable, the only issue was he sometimes forgot he was on the counter rather then on the ground but it was working out.

Kramer Meanwhile was handing out the books, as they were handed out more and more people wanted them, Kramer having to go back behind the counter to grab another pile of books, before returning to the side of the booth to hand them out to those interested, the Baby Dragon not having a problem with this work as it was easy and it made him feel like he was being a big help which really he was.

Andy Larsen

Dee dee nodded to the message she received to be careful and she gave a thumbs up, the cooking of the food and serving the items on the menu continued, and after a bit of time less stumbling happened with both Bombdee and Dee Dee as they got used to the fact that they were not working at ground level like they always do at their own cart, though even there she ended up colliding with Bombdee at times, but working the cart was a bit more controlled chaos then working at this stall since she had to keep reminding herself she was up on a step stool rather then feet on the ground and she caught herself a few times about to just rush over for more supplies only to stop in time to remember she was on a step stool and hopping off it first before getting the things she needed.

As things started to slow down Dee Dee and BombDee continued their work and they were able to take their time a bit more as they worked, which meant less stumbles, Kramer meanwhile was handing out more of the Guides that Dee Dee made, several people seemed to enjoy them and talk was increasing about the contents especially about the bestiary at the back with quite a number of different creatures.

Jimmy was also having the time of his life, Simply sitting there eating any of the food waste, and that meant nothing was going to waste, which was good, and the Larva was always rather ravenous though that was likely due to the fact that he was growing well, in point of fact he had only gotten bigger even as they worked.

Dee Dee noticed a Level up notification, during this time working she had actually gained three more levels during their time working the stall with Andy, this wasn't the first time Dee Dee had gained levels from doing something other then fighting so she wasn't to surprised, it only confirmed her assumption that activity caused you to increase your EXP if only just a little, or maybe it was due to working on a quest or mission? since the times she did level up without fighting had been during such? she would have to do more things to find out, but it did mean Jimmy grew a bit more as she applied the new Star rank to him.

Other then that the slow down of the customers allowed Dee Dee and BombDee more time to breath and as they started to slow even more Dee Dee looked back to Andy as he asked her about her food cart, the speech bubble popped up again with her answer "Yeah I made it all myself from Scavenging the things I needed and taking the time to work them to be usable, at the time there wasn't a lot of people around doing anything like making food or something, many were just buying from the system shop or scavenging, I have heard some say that stuff from the system shop tastes blander then stuff made with real work, but I haven't noticed, but maybe some people can tell the difference? Ether way I made it for myself since it helped me help more people especially in the safe zones where some people got a non-combat class and so need some help getting points, that's where I first started handing out my guides actually!" the message from her speech bubble explained.

Andy Larsen

Dee Dee Blushed a bit and scratched the back of her head "Awww I ain't that amazing" the word bubble said as she continued to work "I know this one place actually apparently it's a book store and little shop all in one, I met the people that run it, they seemed nice enough people they even took two copies of my guide, but they didn't seem all that interested in the food I sell from my cart" the Word bubble informed Andy as she finished off another order and passed it to BombDee so he could hand it to a customer.

When he asked about her parents she smiled a bit "Oh they were knowledgeable about a few things, they were gamers and I grew up gaming too, but then I got... well I ended up really taking to heart Waddle-dee's and wanted to be one for the longest time when I was a kid she blushed a bit embarrassed about that admission but the word bubble continued "it was because of that, that I wanted to be as helpful as possible and so I wanted to learn as many things as I could so I could be helpful in any situation, my parents taught me what they could, but when it came to things they didn't know we all learned it together, we went camping a lot, survival training, they even took lessons on how to use firearms and stuff, and I learned right along with them, martial arts, kendo, how to use a bow and crossbow, all sorts of things, it's one of the reasons I am not worried about them popping into the world once they are done their tutorial, they know about as much as me, maybe even more! and so when they come out or wake up in their tutorial I know they will do fine! I check every day, to see if I can send them a friend request Cause if I can that means they are out of their tutorial!" she gave a thumbs up.

As the customers started to thin even more and the sky got darker Dee Dee finished up serving the few remaining patrons he had on her side, and started to make a bit of food for herself, her friends and for Andy since they all would need some food and refreshment themselves after so much work.
