The Angels finished, and then hid themselves around the room.
David opened his mouth to call to Bebe.
Then Tau barked.
"Of course, Bebe knows why!" Bebe said proudly. "They're setting up for Tau's big surprise party!"

The Better Angels were working hard to set up balloons and banners in the lounge of Angels' Wings.
"Now," David said to Bebe. "Are you sure you can do it?"
"Yes!" Bebe said. "You may #rely on Bebe!"
"Just to be clear: what are you going to do?"
"Bebe will not let Tau into the lounge!" (1/2) #wss366

Susan went upstairs and knocked at Zsazsa's door.
"Yes?" a voice called from inside.
"Did you take one of my chiles?"
There was a long pause.
"Yes?"
"What did you need it for?"
"Nothing," Zsazsa said at the same time as there was a quiet, incoherent whimpering from behind the door. (2/3) #wss366

Susan laid out ingredients for a recipe for the next Butter Angels show. She stepped away, but when she came back, one of the hot peppers was missing.
"Did you see what happened to my pepper?" she asked Ruhrow.
"I saw Zsazsa in there a minute ago. Maybe she needed it for something?" (1/3) #wss366

Lambda licked her chops and ruffed again.
"Alright, already!" Totemo said. "Scratch that. I'll get the porterhouse. Rare."
The waiter looked at Lambda.
"And for you, miss?"
Lambda barked.
"Got it," he said. "Two porterhouses, one rare and one raw." (2/2) #wss366

Totemo Isogashii studied the menu then looked up at the waiter.
"I'll have the pork #chop," she said.
Lambda growled.
"What?" Totemo said.
Lambda barked.
