Week 4

Week 4

Sunday - Thursday

You've lost four in the past week—Machias, Vanitas, Natalia and Edna. Just in time for the fourth week to roll around, for those of you who are superstitious. But it really isn't like you could forget that death is a common occurrence in this castle, whether you believe in legends or not. Some of you might find solace in the chance to recuperate and move on, if you're still up for companionship with your fellow warriors.

Either way, dawn is soon upon the castle and like it or not, you will all have to face whatever comes this week.

Like before the pattern repeats itself, with new areas revealed for you to explore. It may be that something worth discovering lies in wait to be found, or you can simple enjoy the new additions for what they are. Distractions are most likely welcome, regardless of your feelings of the past week.

SURVIVING WARRIORS: 21

[As usual, Ayumu will mostly be found in the kitchen, preparing food and bringing it out. He'll be willing to take requests regarding specific types of okonomiyaki this morning if he can manage it, but overall he actually seems rather sleepy this morning, eyes a bit droopy and looking just a little like he probably should have caught another hour or two of sleep.

Not that that seems to be affecting the taste of his cooking any-- it's still top notch.]

[buddyoldpal]

Damn, ya really did it, kid!

[ Ayumu you're his new favorite!! Nishitani is so happy... ]

[godinsolitude]

I said I would. Hopefully the taste is up to par-- I haven't made it in awhile.

[He seems pretty pleased, though. Making the sauce was a nice little challenge to take up some time in the endless tedium lately.]

[buddyoldpal]

It's fuckin' great! The cabbage and the meat and the batter's fuckin' awesome.

[ Really, this makes up for several crappy murders in his book. It's making me hungry, too... ]

Ya really made the sauce from scratch? Ya got real talent, kid!

[godinsolitude]

[He smiles a bit at that praise. If there's one thing Ayumu can take pride in, it's his cooking skill.]

I'm glad. The sauce isn't too difficult to make as long as you can locate all the ingredients, but I haven't made it in awhile, so I was concerned about the taste.

[buddyoldpal]

Well, ya got it down, pal. Ya'd never know it'd been a while from tastin' this!

[ Please never die, Ayumu. ]

's damn nice havin' a taste of home around here.

[pseudoregelia]

[Eventually, Hiyono will wander back in.]

Narumi-saaaaan. Could you do me a favor?

[godinsolitude]

A favor....?

[He glances up from his cooking, giving her a curious look.] That depends on what it is, I suppose.

[pseudoregelia]

I don't think I slept very well last night... Do you think you could keep watch while I nap?

[godinsolitude]

You didn't.....?

[....Ah..... Well, he could probably....]

Sure, I guess. Right now, or do you want to wait until after breakfast?

[pseudoregelia]

It can wait until after breakfast. [It would be rude to leave the cleanup to Elliot and Majima, after all.]

Just make sure you come fetch me once everything's done, alright?

[originallutece]

[So. This is the boy who sewed that dress, hm? And has been cooking so many delicious things. She's been grateful for the latter for the past few weeks, but now she wants to utilize his talents for the former.

She won't bully him into it. She probably could, but she won't. Instead, she'll try and trade him something for it.

She waits until he's finished cooking before catching his eye pointedly, one eyebrow raising.]

A word?

[godinsolitude]

[Ayumu is in the middle of wrapping up another serving of okonomiyaki, already plated and just finishing brushing it over with sauce, when Rosalind speaks up. He glances up, quirking a brow in response.]

Hm? Do you have a request for breakfast?

[originallutece]

Not breakfast. But I notice you've a deft hand at sewing, and I'm getting tired of wearing the same things over and over again. Given we've an alchemy lab now . . . I thought a trade might be possible.

[godinsolitude]

A trade....?

[And she was offering..... something involving Alchemy?

Hm....]

I'd be willing to consider it, but.... Exactly what would you be proposing to trade?

[originallutece]

That would be up to you. There's very little I can't do with science; the limits would be the chemicals they have here.

[A moment, and then, wryly:]

Or I could give you chess lessons, I suppose.

[coinflipped]

[Eizen hasn't gotten any sleep himself, so even before breakfast is put out he'll be going into the kitchen to grab something just because he can. He's good enough he's not grabbing anything Ayumu prepared-- instead likely an apple.]

[godinsolitude]

[Ayumu's in the middle of preparing some of the many, many dishes they'll be serving at breakfast when Eizen walks in, but he isn't so busy that he misses the man's entrance. He watches him walk over and grab an apple, raising an eyebrow.

That's.... all? He's pretty sure he saw him hauling bottles and bottles of alcohol around yesterday...]

Are you sure you don't want anything to go with that?

[He's almost tempted to suggest he take a banana instead-- those tend to help hangovers, in his experience.]

[coinflipped]

Not really. This is fine.

[He doesn't really have a hangover anyhow. It's just something to district him while he's working his damned hardest to keep his mind off things. He's not sure if he can be around people at the moment, so this may be the best he can do.]

[godinsolitude]

[Hmmm.....]

An apple isn't going to be very filling, though. I could fix you some oatmeal?

[Honestly, he's not sure how much he should bother Eizen-- he could understand completely the desire to be alone to deal with his thoughts and feelings in private, but he's a little concerned about the man's health... if he could, in fact, even get sick. Could he?]

[coinflipped]

I don't go hungry like humans do.

[He knows he hasn't given everyone the spiel, but his words come out with a bit of a bite. It's unintended, just he's still trying his best to socialize again.]

Though... thanks for the thought. Maybe I'll take you up on that offer later.

[For just some comfort food in general.]

[tangas]

Yo! [ coming up from behind and slapping him on the back. wake up, sleepy dude. ]

[godinsolitude]

[And Ayumu.... jolts a little, blinking widely as he turns around.

Yep, definitely tired.]

Good morning....?

[He's looking entirely unimpressed with your morning greeting, Miyamura.]

[tangas]

[ what's up, buttercup? ]

Sup? You look like you're having fun. [ obviously not. ]

[godinsolitude]

I'm keeping busy, at least.

[He enjoyed cooking well enough when he wasn't super tired, ok.]

Are you always this chipper in the morning?
