Summary: Holding a dinner so we can all get to know each other, this should end terribly.
Warnings: F for food?!

[This month's haul of transports seemed to bring in a lot of familiar faces for the residents of 103. Friends, family, comrades, terrifying generals who are your boss now- all sorts! ]

[It was Sophie's idea to hold a dinner. A dinner of family, for everyone to have a chance to meet each other and get to know each other better. It seemed like a nice way to welcome everyone into this horrible war. But hey, food! And so, Allen and Sophie made sure to invite their friends, family and comrades in order to have a warm evening together]

[And Kaneis, well, at least he isn't climbing out the back window at the prospect of social interaction for hours. This my friends, is progress. ]

[But gather around friends and family and terrifying boss! There's food, people, wine and games to be had! Just you know, try not to cough in it you sick jerks]

[OOC: KITCHEN | DINING TABLE...FLOOR...COUNTER | LIVING ROOM | BEDROOMS. Please feel free to tag around, thread hop and just have fun! If I left anyone out of the attending list please let me know! ]

Comments

[Klaud is hardly a social creature outside of unavoidable situations not because she lacked the conversational skills, but because she just preferred to keep to herself usually. While she understood why Allen had invited her (obligation, an awkward feeling to reach out to her if she got anything from his stumbling message) a small part of her wished he hadn't.

So she stuck by a window, going between watching the people inside the room to the ones outside the window. Lau Jimin, a small white monkey, busied himself with eating a bread roll on her shoulder.]

[scarred]

Chii! [He carefully sets down his food to motion at his mouth before something catches his eye. Oh hey a bottle of wine! Don't mind if he just goes to grab for that...]

[blossomgale]

[ Sophie can't cook. She shouldn't be allowed to cook. But she's in the kitchen, watching some pots on the stove boil and other dishes being prepared. When's the food going to be ready to eat?

And, oh... there's someone else here now? She glances over. Hey, she spoke to you before. ]

...I remember you.

[blossomgale]

[ Sophie's sitting on a chair, nearby the kitchen doorway. She has been quiet and patient for the longest time, watching all the cooks prepare.

... ... ...

But she can only keep quiet for so long.

She's hungry already. ]

Cheria, are the crablettes ready yet?

[blossomgale]

[ That's a person Sophie doesn't recognize. She's not sure if the girl's a friend of Kaneis, Allen, or possibly both. The twin-tailed girl approaches, first glancing over the coffee mugs, and then facing the stranger. ]

Hello. Are you a friend of Kaneis or Allen's?

[debtor]

[He takes a leg, strips the meat off the bone in a bite or two.]

You're both great cooks. [Living with TWO COOKS, a dream come true.] But I'll try to leave some for everybody else.

[blossomgale]

[ Sophie walks by, carrying her plate filled with nothing but crablettes, even if there's obviously other dishes she could have picked out. She stops before completely passing by the girl, noticing she's someone unfamiliar. Either a friend of Zelos or Allen... hm.

She smiles back. ]

Hello. Have you tried the crablettes?

[blossomgale]

[ Sophie's nearby, picking at her plate of crablettes. Before Sophie can start babbling about food like crablettes tasting great, she finds herself distracted by... Sheena's nice hair. ]

Your hair's pretty.

[blossomgale]

[ With her heightened senses, Sophie can hear the coughing and hacking loud and clear. It's pretty worrisome. She's going to step away from the crowd to figure out what it is! She pushes open the door to Zelos' room, still holding a plate full of delicious crablettes. ]

...hello?

[omurice]

[No, it's quite complicated. Even more so since Sophie is older than all of them, despite her childish personality.]

I'm not sure if I should thank you for understanding, but yes, I've made myself clear at this point. I simply worry for their safety.

[hiddendepth]

[She closes her eyes, forcing herself to breathe slowly to try and stay calm. But this is nice, just like this. Not trying to talk and coughing because of it-- even if cough fits happen anyway-- Zelos near her and holding her hand.

She just wants to stay like this.]

...Will you stay like this until I fall asleep? [It's selfish to ask, but she does it anyway, as quiet as it is.]

[omurice]

[Cheria, you are the best to be sis-in-law ever. Hubert knows that they'll legally become family one day, okay? Okay. A slight blush appears on his face, embarrassed that Cheria remembers him in his childhood so well. Even if he still clearly loves his rice omelettes now...]

Why yes. I, um... was going to ask, but never got around to it.

[hiddendepth]

[The mass of blankets stiffens noticeably at those words. Someone's in here? Ah...]

Y-yes? [Sniffling, she shifts to try and poke her eyes out-- but just her eyes! She's in no shape to be seen, surely.]

[velveteened]

( none whatsoever. )

That - ( a light laugh ) sounds just like you.

[velveteened]

You do?

( he doesn't quite place the voice until he looks over at her, then remembers. )

Oh! Hello.

[velveteened]

( his smile brightens, both to have found an object for his compliments about the food, and also frankly because pretty girl. )

I do! Did you help make all of this?

[velveteened]

Maybe someone could! ...if they had a super power, like, very fast cooking.

[wilder]

Very fast cooking, huh?

[He makes an amused noise]

That'd be a pretty handy power, alright.

[anklets]

[ and while she may be accustomed to serving drinks for a crowd, she is less so with not recognizing faces, and there are more than a few for which she has no name

straightens, looking briefly out-of-place ]

Allen's. We're comrades.

[anklets]

Does it? [ a frown plucks her lips; in explanation: ] There were a lot of people back home who needed it.

[wilder]

[He gives a slight nod and squeeze of her hand]

Yeah, I will. Just get some sleep.

[wilder]

Sure, I get it. I have a sister.

[Who people will lose limbs if they ever try to hurt her]

Don't worry. I wouldn't ever try to hurt your family. Sophie's been nothing but kind to me.

[pactfulfilled]

[It's not...bad. But it does taste different. By now he realizes it's not Cheria's fault - all the food here is a little off. It's just...it's not curry. And for that, whoever wiped out all the necessary ingredients to make the world's best dish ought to be ashamed of themselves! How could they? How could they defile the greatness that is mild curry?!]

Well, there was this one we used to play sometimes at the Knight Academy... You give four facts about yourself, and it's up to everyone else to figure out which one you made up on the spot.

Maybe something like that?

[pactfulfilled]

Ugh...

[At the inquiry, Asbel looks back up at Kaneis.] Yeah, I'm all right. Sorry about that!

[He turns his attention back to the field and finally selects a pawn to move forward.]

[wilder]

It's okay.

[And without more than two seconds pause, he'll kill that pawn with a rook]
