Monica likes to make pastries. You will volunteer your kitchen for it, won't you? You will? Ah, you have such a generous heart! Where would we be without you?

[And he's just going to walk on in. Christopher'd.]

[bloodyashes]

Like hell! You use your own kitchen!

[Great, now there's two of them!

Really, Christopher, if you have approached this differently he would have been much more okay with it.]

[maskmaker]

[Monica doesn't falter and just keeps smiling, although she pushes Christopher to the side gently so she can give Asch a proper greeting and actually explain...]

You're Mr. Asch, yes? Actually... I was hoping to see if I could be allowed to use your kitchen as a sort of workplace. I heard you were planning to open a business here?

[And then as if remembering something.] Not that you'd have to pay me if you don't want to! I don't mind that at all... it's just that the apartment's kitchen is a bit small.

[inhumanity]

Monica, you don't have to let Asch yell at you like that.

[bloodyashes]

[But see, Christopher, your friend actually knows the secret to dealing with Asches - not moving in on their stuff.]

The restaurant's kitchen isn't really together yet. Someone stole the stove and we haven't gotten it replaced.

[And no, you can't use their apartment kitchen.]

[maskmaker]

Well, Christopher, you really should've knocked. [Down, boy.]

If it's replacing the stove, I'll do what I can to help! I really would just like somewhere I can work, since that's what I used to do back where I'm from.

[inhumanity]

[He's going to sulk. This is your chance to have a civil conversation without him. Your window of opportunity is really brief.]

[bloodyashes]

[He will take that chance like a mature adult.]

It's on the list of things that need to be done, but it's fairly low priority for me at the moment.

[Not hard to see why - at least he got the banister up on the stairs.]

[maskmaker]

I would like to help out. I may look like this, but I'm quite strong, you know?

[Hire her.]

[inhumanity]

[To Asch] She is secretly a wandering martial artist.

[bloodyashes]

[...He is going to ignore what Christopher just said because the man is insane.]

I don't exactly have the money to pay anyone at the moment, but if you want to volunteer, feel free.

[maskmaker]

[Score. She shoots Chris a look ("I told you I'm not a ninja") before she smiles at Asch again.]

I don't need to be paid, that's perfectly fine with me. Thank you very much for your generosity, Mr. Asch.

[inhumanity]

What a moving scene: love at first sight. I'll leave you two alone, then, shall I?

[bloodyashes]

I'm engaged.

[Yep, that sure is his go-to excuse when someone says something like that. Back to the reasonable one.]

You're welcome. I'll keep you up to date when it comes to progress on the place.

[maskmaker]

[She gives Chris a look. She's spoken for too, you know!]

... That would be wonderful! But I would really like to help you out, Mr. Asch.

[inhumanity]

[Monica's look is ignored. Asch's shut-down is seized upon.] To whom? For how long? How did she—or he!—steal your heart away? What kind of wedding will you have? As we're such great friends, I'll make your wedding cake for free.

[bloodyashes]

[...Dude, Christopher, chill your ass out.]

She's not even here.

[BACK TO REASONABLE PEOPLE.]

It's just Asch.

[He gets enough weird name things from the Dan, ok.]

[maskmaker]

[Monica completely ignores Christopher now.]

All right, Asch it is. And my name is Monica. Thank you very much!

[inhumanity]

That means you can tell me everything about her. It's hard to talk about people who are around, but it's easy to love those who are absent.

[bloodyashes]

[...Christopher, you have no idea how much irony you just said right there. Congratulations, you have made him chuckle, and successfully leveled up your friendship!]

Story of my life.

Drop me a line any time you want to come by. I can find something for you to do, I'm sure.

[Wallpaper. Changing out lightbulbs. Sending her out to get furniture. Yep, plenty to do.]

[maskmaker]

[She catches that. Ignores it.]

How about I drop by every day? You don't look so well so I could even bring you something to eat.

[inhumanity]

My, how nicely you're getting along already. We can be a threesome of friendship.

[bloodyashes]

[...Every day?! DALHKJFADJK]

That's a little much.

[HOW DO YOU SOCIAL.]

[maskmaker]

Well, I'd be coming her every day once I started working anyway, wouldn't I?

Besides... with the sickness going around, and you already looking so unwell, it's very worrying!

[inhumanity]

[While you are talking, Christopher is looking around, examining things, oh look at all that interesting stuff, and


and he just climbed out a window. GOODBYE?]
