01 - [ video ]

[ On video is the pink haired Secret Service agent, standing in a kitchen, dressed in maid's costume, with a white apron on. The maid costume of course comes from her Master, who always has her dressed in the strangest things.

In front of her is a counter top overflowing with different ingredients. Vegetables, meats, breads, spices, pastas, and more, as if she were cooking for a large party. But the face on the girl looks unhappy, as she looks at her mountains of ingredients. ]

...I don't know what I should make.

[ Her voice is quiet and spacey, like she's hardly even awake. Even her eyes look like she's near minutes of falling asleep. That's just how she is, and even though her looks say one thing, inside, she's extremely worried about making the right thing. ]

...My... [ How to refer to Miketsukami... ] ..friend died, and I want to make something that will cheer up Chiyo-chan and Miketsukami.

Does anyone have any ideas?

[ Ah... by no means she knows this person at all, but she can relate somehow.

The thought that cooking food to cheer her friends up never crossed Hanako's mind, so she's going to consider this in the future. ]

You could bake a cake for them, or other kinds of sweets. [ Sweets are the best emotional medicines... so she read in a book. ]

[odokuro]

[ She doesn't recognize this person, but she's being helpful and that's all that matters.]

I could make a cake, I have enough carrots here...

[ She looks around at the food mountained on the counter, wondering if that was the right thing. As she wonders, she takes a giant bite out of the raw carrot. ]

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

[ ... what is she even doing. ]

Er... yes, you could make a carrot cake if you have enough of them.

[occulthymns]

[Euri recognizes that girl! They've spoken before.....]

Ah...? A meal like that is really important. What kinds of food do they like?

[video]

[odokuro]

...Chiyo-chan likes sweets...I don't know what Miketsukami likes. I could ask Chiyo-chan.

[ Karuta's worry over this important meal shows, even as she begins to munch on a raw green pepper. ]

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

[Karuta is that... healthy....]

You should! They'll appreciate it more if they know you went to the trouble of making their favourite foods.

[seventeenpills]

[Huh - that pink hair reminds him of Misha. Though, it's in regular pigtails, not drill shaped ones. And she's not shouting 'WAAAHAHAHA~~!!' or even being ridiculously cheerful. She's like some kind of Anti-Misha.]

I'd start by finding out what they like best and making that. If they have a favorite food or something that's especially comforting, try those.

[odokuro]

...I could ask Miketsukami.. [ She's not sure how to approach a person who just died though. ]

...How...how do you talk to someone who died?

[seventeenpills]

You approach them gently and avoid the topic where possible. It happened to me a little while ago and while I appreciated my friends support, it's not something I wanted to talk much about at the time.

If yoiu'd rather it was a surprise or something, you could just try and remember something you saw him eat and enjoy. And if you need help finding a recipe, I may be able to help you out.

[childsoldier]

Find out what their favorite foods are and make those?

[odokuro]

If I ask them...isn't that ruining it? [ She touches her finger to her lip, tilting her head a bit. ]

[digophelia]

Ah, I wonder what would be the appropriate food for mourning.

[She says so wistfully.]

[odokuro]

[ Mourning? Is that what she was doing? It was strange to think of it that way, with their weird history and all. ]

I just want to make something they would like..

[Anon Text]

[holmes_fanatic]

Talk to them.

I died, and I don't want to be made a fuss of. I want things to be normal. You might make things worse for your friend.

[video]

[odokuro]

...I just want to make them happy.. [ Really, the only way she knows how to connect with her friends on her own is through food. ]

[onceknighted]

[oh, it's the messy eater... he's starting to see a theme with food here.]

Is that sort of thing suitable for this situation? Surely there aren't many people would want a "you died but welcome back to the place that killed you" celebratory meal.

[odokuro]

[ Way to go, now you've made her upset, and you can see a tear well up in her eye. ]

Oh, I didn't think of that..

video;

[entreats]

[ ... huh. Those names sound definitely familiar - even if hearing it as 'Chiyo-chan' is a little different, so she should make sure.. ]

Do you mean Ririchiyo when you say 'Chiyo-chan'?

video;

[odokuro]

[ She nods a few times. ]

Chiyo-chan is...my best friend.

[Upon having checked the network for any news over the situation, Soushi just happen to find Karuta's own network post. He will be silent as he ponders over answering her using the network. Ever since the hospital incident, he was not entirely certain in the best way to speak to the other girl. Right now, he felt guilty over the situation. Maybe he should have warned her over the darker themes of Asgard. Then again, he believed his warnings would have been enough of a warning for her to realize it, she was very astute.

Parting himself from his master's sleeping form, he decided to speak to the other SS Agent, and try to speak to him. Maybe he could apologize to her for being vague with his warning; even though he was not. Soushi currently believed it was his fault over her suffering the death of a friend of hers. Whoever it might be.]

...Roromiya-san? [A polite smile will be on his lips as he approached the other girl wearing his casual wear. A rare occurance to be wearing something different to his usual SS Agent outfit. He was even wearing glasses at the moment.] Do you need anything from the super market? It would seem as though you are preparing the next meal of the day... [His gaze will be on the food before returning his gaze to the other girl.] I am about to walk the kits for the day, if you are in need of gathering any other ingredients. [Once he says the word, a pair of small foxes will appear heading towards the door as they begin to scratch at the doors. Daddy, we want to go out now!]

action;

[odokuro]

[ For the most part, the words seem to be lost on the girl, who simply looks at the man while he speaks, and then back to the pile of food she's brought with her. It's only when she notices the tiny foxes that she shows any movement. Without speaking she gets up from the chair she was in and slowly moves over to the foxes, looking down at them.

Karuta looks at the foxes and then Mike, then back to them. She points at them, then crouches down to pick up the one that seems most interested in her. ]

...Cute...

[circuses]

Miketsukami? That's Soushi's last name! And Chiyo sounds like Ririchiyo - hey! So you know Soushi and Riri?

What do they need food for? I say bake a cake. You don't need any special occasion to eat cake.

video;

[odokuro]

Mm, Chiyo-chan is my best friend. [ She says that with seemingly actual enthusiasm. ]

And Miketsukami is...a housemate. [ More accurately he's a coworker of a sort, but she knows not to tell that to too many regular people. ]

..What kind of cake should I make?

video; LATE BUT HOPE THIS IS OKAY ><

[hatecomplex]

You know the smug bastard and the brat? Hmph.

[He still doesn't know what happened]

I'd say rice and something fried. Or maybe fruit? Dammit, I'm not good at this kinda thing.

No worries!

[odokuro]

...Smug bastard? Brat? [ Karuta just is munching on a raw onion, confused at why someone would call Chiyo or Mike those things. ]

Fried race...maybe?
