IT'S MY PARTY! AND I'LL CRY IF I WANT TO, CRY IF I WANT TO

[fashionfever]

[One hour after the execution, prisoners who have gone back down to the dorm floor will find Angela waving outside the mess hall.]

In honor of what Akira definitely would have wanted and Vita probably at least would have laughed about, we're all having dinner together.

[There's pots of coffee, and glasses of soda, and something like garlic bread, and spaghetti, and it sounds like there's even more food cooking in the kitchen.]

This would be a great time to share anything you got from playing ET, too, you know? [She's just trying to start conversation about literally anything else...]

Comments

[crouching_sin]

Of course it is. I'll see what I can get out of her.

[He leans back a little bit.]

She seems easy enough to manipulate. And yes, I know you're watching this, Marie.

[losergod]

[ She probably is watching everything. Hm. ]

It is, at least, better than moping.

[crouching_sin]

Heh. I wasn't moping, but think what you like.

[Hm...]

[He pops open the jelly bean box and holds it out to C.]

Would you like a few?

[losergod]

[ ... He shakes his head. Listen. It's good enough. Naoya seems at least a bit better, so he's happy with that. ]

If I'm being entirely honest with you, Mister Naoya... I can't stand sweets.

[ And there are... well. Sugar was never something he was supposed to be "having" according to "her" anyway. ]

[crouching_sin]

[Who doesn't like sweets? ... Well, okay then. He puts the box down.]

All right. I just thought I'd offer. What sorts of things do you like to eat, then?

[losergod]

[ Weirdos like C, apparently. It's a consistent thing. He's always disliked them. ]

I apologize if it offended you in any way. You may find me rather... bland. I know someone else I knew in the past always said I had weird tastes. I'll try just about anything, but I like foods with flavor to them. I guess the closest I can concede to liking something somewhat sweet is fruit.

[crouching_sin]

Oh, I'm not offended at all. And hm... what kind of flavors? Spicy, salty, savory?

[Why do so many food words start with s?]

[losergod]

I was never allowed to have anything too dangerous, but when I could, I preferred to sneak spice, myself.

[ He's... he likes spicy things. It's--well, it's a way of doing something a bit "dangerous" so to speak without getting hurt. ]

I hate bland food. Honestly, as long as it has flavor, I don't mind. I just... don't like sweet things.

[crouching_sin]

I can see if I can make something. I think I might have seen something in one of the rations... I'll try to keep the sweet down for you.

[commandurr]

[Almost as if in response, three more camerabots come into the mess hall, and positioning themselves in a corner.

Yup. She's watching.]
