It was a new day at the diner, humbug glanced at the clock above the door 7am
He was currently on a call with his good friend Ghazt, who called him every morning at 6:55am sharp. "Hey and by the way, one of my other friends is going to call later, they said they wanted like, tacos or something so just prepare yourself" Ghazt told humbug "wait you have other friends?!" humbug responded teasing his poltergeist friend.
"Haha very funny" Ghazt deadpanned and humbug laughed "ok well im gonna let you go now."
"Aw ok i guess... have a good day!" "you too!" and with that the call ended. Humbug flew to the kitchen singing 'do the earthquake' which was his island song. As he grabbed a bottle of Pummel sauce from the pantry.
Hm, I'm running low on pummel sauce.. I'll have to make more tomorrow
He also took out his recipe book and a Dragong corpse that had been in the walk-in freezer it was still bloody and exposed, (and very frozen). Humbug flipped through the book until he found what he was looking for:
Twalker tacos
- 1 twalker
-1 dragong
-¼ a cup of pummel sauce
-1 flowah
He already had the pummel sauce and dragong so that only left him with the twalker and a flowah. He decided to go with the flowah first, and he knew the exact place to find one.
"Hey over here!" humbug called out to the trashman (who was a flowah) and the flowah started walking in his direction "hello sir do you have trash for me to pick up?" the flowah asked.
"Yep! But its inside and im not strong enough to bring it out... can you come inside and help?"
Humbug asked, hardly containing his excitement. "Of course sir." the flowah responded, as they both walked inside to 'get the trash' when they were both in the kitchen humbug grabbed the butchers knife from the table "uh i don't see any trash sir-" the flowah was cut off after being struck from behind.
Crimson blood poured from the wound as humbug pulled the knife out and struck again, and again, and again, until the flowah was dead. Humbug dragged the limp, unmoving corpse into the freezer to preserve it until later. He looked at the counter were the dragong was thawing and all the bowls and pots sat, humbug took a deep breath as he flew out the door, in search of some twalkers. He knew that the twalkers disappearances won't be unnoticed considering it was one of the island star attractions. And with that note the twalker would probably be with the 'paparazzi' like usual which would make his job harder. Suddenly there was a ring on his cell phone, he picked it up "hi! This is pango and I would like to order some tacos please!"
Huh so Ghazt was right
"Ok sir! You can pick those up at around uh.... 9am ok?" humbug said looking at his watch "ok! Sounds good!" the pango then hung up and humbug was back on prowl. There were 2 ways to approach this, 1 is to lure the twalker away from the crowd and hope nobody follows (which lets be honest if probably a long shot) or 2 he could get some extra help. Humbug decided to call in some help, but there are only so many killer chefs so he couldn't be picky.
Well theres clamble but he is really more of a gardener... i could do scups.. Eh hes a bit to small... (haha does anybody know those references??)
Then it hit him. OH! I can do T-rox!
T-rox was one of his friends and also a chef, he was the rare variation so he had arms and he was fast and clever. Humbug gave him a call *ring ring ring* "hello?" T-rox picked up
"Hi T-rox Uh, I was wondering if i can have some help??" humbug asked "uh sure what are you making?" he asked "twalker tacos" humbug whispered, making sure nobody around heard him.
"Oh boy, how are we supposed to kill a famous person! Everybody will see us" T-rox
Said worriedly "we'll figure it out, just meet me at the autograph stand thing" "ok one minute"
A little bit later T-rox was there and they were both in que "so how are we gonna do this?" humbug asked T-rox "i've got an idea, just be patient." he watched as T-rox walked up and placed something on twalkers stand, then turned around and winked at humbug and tapped his feet, morse code for 'follow me'.
Humbug obeyed and followed T-rox into the shadows behind the stand "what did you do?" He asked the dinosaur, "Well he's allergic to oranges, I put a glass of lemonade on his stand, but the thing is it also has orange juice mixed in, he drinks, has a reaction and goes to the hospital, we can get him then." T-rox explained "oh good idea!" humbug said, patting the creature on the head.
Sure enough, a few minutes later the plan unfolded. And twalker was rushed to the hospital and they were the very first 'fans' to visit. Closing and locking the door behind them they got to work "hey wait a second.. You are the guy that put the orange juice in that drink!" the twalker sat up and pointed to T-rox "you were trying to kill me!" He said anger in every work. T-rox chuckled "well actually i wasn't, i wanted to in the hospital so the we can kill you, so you were pretty close" Twalkers eyes widened "AAA HELP HE-" he was cut of by humbug jumping on top of him and ripping through his flesh pulling out the intestines and leaving then in a slick, cold heap next to the bed, and he took it a step further and broke of one of his horns, throwing it in the pile.
"Woah" T-rox said "now his fans have something to remember him by" humbug chuckled.
T-rox went home and humbug went back to the diner to cook the meal, by then the dragong had thawed and the flowah was unrotting because he put it in the freezer.
Skinning the twalker and cutting it up along with the dragong he put them in a pan to cook as he prepared the flowah. Cutting off all the leafs and part of the flower bud he put them in a blender, and then took them out when they were nothing but powder and mixed it on witch the meat.
After cooking he put them into shells and added the pummel sauce and toppings, just in time as pango walked through the door.
"Hello humbug!" the penguin exclaimed "why hello there! Your food is ready!" "Oh cool! Thank you and have a good day!" "you too!" humbug put on a smile and the pango left. Looking over the book again before returning to the kitchen to clean his bloody work space, after all it was only 9am, he still had the whole day of work ahead of him.
Twalker tacos
-1 fresh twalker
-1 dragong
-¼ a cup of pummel sauce
-1 flowah
Cut the twalker and dragong up into pieces about 1 inch thick and add to a pan with oil at medium heat cook for 15 minutes and stir occasionally.
In a separate bowl blend flowah leafs with pepper, chickpeas, and basil before mixing ¾ of the mixture with the meat, stir and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until meat is golden brown.
