Whats a day without a tangent? Not a very good one... like my followup... The most turbulent time for Capt. Caf, was no doubt the time spent in exile. Actually, it was neither bumpy, nor was it all THAT hard thanks to a few of her less renowned (particularly because they were so well done... you'll know what I mean later) super powers, but I needed something that sounded good for introducing the part of the Capt. Caf saga known as "Capt. Caf's EXILE!" This portion of the saga takes place between her big showdown with Magnus on the City of Marshmallows Floating on a River of Chocolate and the time that she switched to the dark side. You see, after Capt caf had returned after facing the dreaded Magnus, her companions were less than hospitable. You'd think they would have been glad at her safe return, but noooo, they were upset because the ones who journeyed with her to CMFRC were promised a gallon of river chocolate each, and since Capt. Caf had eaten all that she had been covered in, they were quite upset that they wouldn't be able to get back to CMFRC ever again since Magnus would no doubt stake guards there in order to catch Capt. Caf and crew if they were to return. So, with their hopes dashed against the cruel soft mushy sides of the Marshmallow City, they decided to punish Capt. Caf with what they thought to be the most fair punishment they could deliver to one of their own, a "time out," which in all actuality and in every possible way except by name it was truly exile. Much later, they actually learned the real meaning of the word "time out" in the sense that it was used towards children, but unfortunately, that was after they sentenced Capt. Caf with a "time out" that most parents wouldn't dream of putting their kids through. So, since the random superheroes set the rules and regulations on what Capt. Caf's time out would be like, they decided to remove all superhero funding support for the remainder of her "time out" and forced her to live amongst a group of squalid individuals most commonly referred to as undergrads. Overall it wasn't so bad really, namely because of Capt. Caf's uncanny capabilities or rather, superpower that let her MOOCH what she wanted from people without them realizing they were being taken for suckers. It’s because she is so good at it that most people don't realise she can do it, which is all for the better really. On one occasion, Capt. Caf even acquired a car for free. It was a rather complex procedure, but it went a little something like this... Lets just say person 'A' owns the car, and in this scenario, Capt. Caf had to barter, mooch, and trade with approximately one dozen undergrads. Person A decides he wants to sell his car to the school for a raffle drawing, so he asks Capt. Caf to help him put up flyers for the raffle. She complies, but instead of putting up the flyers herself, she managed to get person B to do it for her. Meanwhile, Person C is having a personal issue with person D, so Capt. Caf goes over to person C and D, and mooched her way to a free soda and sandwich if she promised to help them resolve their issues. When they return with the items, they find that its actually person B who has come to settle their issue, on account of Capt. Caf suckering him into doing it for the low price of a sandwich and drink, but he did it because he was hungry from hanging all the flyers. Meanwhile, person E is holding a bake sale with persons F G H and I. Seeing the opportunity to mooch some more, Capt. Caf manages to get the bake sale people to give her a half dozen cookies and a half dozen muffins if she would make them some matching uniforms for them to wear while selling their goods. Well, by this time, B has resolved C and D's issue, and C, who happens to be an excellent seamstress, felt good enough to pick up her hobby again. Well, Capt. Caf came back with the baked goods and asked if person C would come up with some matching costumes for the bake salers and everyone else attending the raffle. Being in an exceptionally good mood at the time, person C complied and made her the uniforms. Everyone loved the uniforms, except maybe a few guys, and couldn't wait to wear them. At this point, Capt. Caf had a good start of a scheme to acquire the car in the raffle, but she didn't have a raffle ticket herself, and being the proud moocher she was, she didn't want to pay for it either. So, she approached person J and challenged him to a hot dog eating contest. Having the exceptional superpower to consume any cafeteria food, she had somewhat of an unfair advantage, but thats not the point. She had persons K L and M bet on their match. The loser, along with the people who betted on the loser, would have to wear the uniforms that Capt. Caf had had made. Of course K L and M all betted on J, and so it was to their great surprise when she beat J semi-fair and somewhat rectangularly... but of course they didn't know they had been cheated, so they just gave Capt. Caf the winnings (a raffle ticket and some concert tickets to a rock band nobody has really heard of) and went on their little uniformed way. Well, what most people didn't realize, was that the raffle was only eligible for non-workers at the raffle. This means that anyone who was a part of the bake sale or worked at the concession stands weren't eligible, along with all the people who didn't realize they were in bake sale uniform, making them appear as employees, and therefore not eligible. At this point, Capt. Caf was the only one eligible to win the raffle, so instead of calling a ticket, the MC just called Capt. Caf to the front and gave her the car. There you have it, mooched a free car... despite the good times Capt. Caf experienced during her "time out," she was still furious with what the random superheroes had done, and decided to get even. Thus begins the fall of Capt. Caf!!!
