[Day: Sunday, June 5th. Time: 12:00 p.m.] [You're all at Fugahoka campus, and you all bump into each other. Literally.] [Mini begin] 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6-4) and gets 5. ( You ask for a mini, then you don't do anything. What's up with that? :P ) * Rei walks along, cheerfully chatting with Makoto. "So I figured that syrup goes really great on waffles, so why not a computer? And then the next thing you know, it's a few hours later and I'm thinking of waffles - it was early in the morning, okay? - and I-" She smacks into Chomei. * Chomei steadies himself after the bump. "What the... oh no, not you. I thought you were busy on your computer." * Rei ends up on the ground. "Huh?" she asks dazedly. "Ooh, sparkles." * Makoto nods as Rei talkes, and then blinks at Chomei when the archer and Rei collide. Wow. That was sudden. You okay, Rei? Yeah, no kidding. Are you okay? Juuuuust like cream peaches. And waffles. Damn. Now I really want waffles. * Maria observes this from not too far off and decides to investigate. "You two alright?" * Rei yells, "Waffle!" in Maria's direction. * Chomei 's stomach grumbles. "Well, I really could use something to eat." * Maria blinks. "Waffle?" She eyes Rei. "Are you *sure*?" * Makoto grins down at Rei. "Are you gonna get up off the ground?" Have I ever not been sure? No. I'm not. Bring me waffles! I think she ment to say Pancake. Maybe? I would probably have a better time bringin YOU to the waffles. * Maria frowns. "I'm not so sure. 'Pancake' and 'waffle' sound pretty different." Yeah, but they taste the same. * Rei folds her arms. "Fine, then. Bring me to the waffles, and I shall reward you with... uh..." She turns to Chomei. "They do not!" * Maria frowns. "Although food *does* sound good." * Makoto looks around. Okay, I need to know which way we're going for waffles. * Chomei looks at Rei. "Of course they do. They're made out of the same stuff and cooked kinda the same... well, okay, they don't taste different. But both go great with syrup." ( The IHoP, of course. ) * Maria tries to remember how long it's been since she had waffles. Too long, she decides. (But of course! To... THE IHOP!) C'mon, people. Need to know, here, need to know. Hrmm, IHoP? IHoP. Or my place. I can make waffles. Mmm, waffles. Will they be made out of cucumbers? * Makoto snickers. * Maria grins. "Sure, Rei's place." Nooooope. But you'd be surprised how good waffles with cucumbers and whipped cream could taste. And, optionally, chocolate syrup. * Maria would ask if she were serious but... this *is* Rei. (Oh, me? I'm always serious.) Oh, chocolate syrup... Don't forget to serve it with some tang. Duh! Tang and chocolate syrup, There's something there. * Maria shrugs. "Still haven't had any 'tang'." * Makoto looks down at Rei. "Good thing you're small." He scoops her up in a quick, sudden motion. "I'd throw you over my shoulder, but then you couldn't give good directions." ( Mmm.... Tang, the famous Chinese drink :P ) * Rei cheers. * Maria eyes Makoto and Rei. *eye* * Makoto grins cheekily at Maria. (It's college. You mix everything with Tang.) So, which way? * Maria raises an eyebrow. Yeah, which way? Rei? Lead the way. Okay. Onward... to Chateau Rei! * Rei gives directions. (Because, really, I'm much too lazy to roleplay it. ;P) Do you have a butler? * Makoto walks as instructed. Just you, Chomei. You can be my monkey butler. * Chomei follows the bunch. How about... not. ( Lazy Ard! ) C'mon, I pay well! All the cucumbers you could want! Long as my supplier doesn't run out, you'll have your fix for... * Maria glances at Chomei. "Funny. He doesn't *look* like a monkey." * Rei counts on her fingers. "The next couple weeks or so." * Makoto snickers. Okay, so I got too many cucumbers. * Chomei chuckles. "You can say that again Makoto." Better too many than too little. That was a nasty situation. * Makoto grins at Chomei. Okay, so I got too many cucumbers. * Rei idly thwaps Makoto upside the head. Hmm. She's being carried. This is pretty cool. * Maria thwaps Makoto, too. * Chomei looks at Makoto and grins. "Amusing." ( /me upscrolls. "..." ) * Makoto is thwapped, but since his arms are full of Rei he can't really react. "Uf." Darn right, 'uf'. ( So... do we get there? ) Uf. It has so many meanings. Like 'ack' and 'blargh' and 'eep' and 'ookie ookie wah wah'... And Tang? No! Tang only has one meaning! ONE! Uno! No dos! Uno! How about tres? Absolutely not. That's soup. Haven't you been paying attention? * Rei considers. "Waffle soup." Oh. I must have been asleep for that part. * Chomei looks at Rei and Makoto. "What have you two been- Forget I asked." * Makoto grins crookedly at Chomei. "Forget you asked what? You didn't finish the question." Yeah! Exactly! So what you -meant- was, "Forget I started to ask." * Chomei thinks. "Yeah, kinda." * Makoto chuckles. * Maria rolls her eyes. "So, what did you two do last night?" Yes, fearless and stupid. That's out Maria. We got roaring drunk and through all inhibition to the winds. Lazar and Chie were there too. It was great. * Rei keeps quiet. But she grins maniacally. You have inhibitions? * Chomei raises his eyebrow. "Inhibitions? You?" You shoulda seen what he can do with a tail! Ah... THEY through inhibition to the wind, then. And yes, there was the tail. I didn't think Rei or Chie had inhibition either. * Maria sticks her tongue out at Chomei. "Nyah. I asked first." Tail. Right. I probably don't wanna know if that's literal or not, do I? It sure is! * Chomei glares at Maria. "Next time... oh you wait, you will rue this day. Or I'll just forget." Of course it's literal! How dirty do you think we... Rei is, anyway? Knowing Makoto CAN change his shape, I wouldn't be surprised. But still... I dunno about Rei, but from the looks I've caught from you, Mak, I think you're dirty enough for the both of you. * Makoto grins cheerfully at Chomei, and shamelessly at Maria. * Maria sticks her tongue out at Makoto this time. "Nyah." * Makoto sticks his tongue out at Maria, too. "Nyah nyah." Okay, we know you're both healthy in the mouth. Let's get something to eat, okay? * Maria grabs Makoto's tongue while it's out. "Ha! Gotcha!" * Chomei sighs. "Or you could just do that." ( MC2 - When preschoolers save the world! ) Aaaghk! Ack! Don't drop me! * Rei tries poking Maria in the sides. "We're almost there, anyway." * Makoto doesn't drop Rei, but instead tries to gum Maria's hand like some geriatric crocodile. * Maria gahs and lets go, wiping her hand on a paper napkin she pulls out of somewhere. Anyway, onward! We approach! ... I'm on the second floor, though, so I guess Makoto'll have to put me down or something so he can climb the stairs. Phoo. * Maria snickers. * Makoto snickers and sets Rei down. He smacks his tongue against his palette as if to clean it. "Hrmm... Maria tastes... full-bodied but a bit fruity. I would guess from the south of France. Not an aged vintage, but from a good year. This bottle probably costs about... Oh, hi Maria. Eheheh." * Makoto climbs the stairs hurriedly. * Chomei chuckles. "Nice review, but I don't think Maria liked it much at all." * Rei snickers. "Maria's gonna beat yo' ass... o/~" She climbs the stairs at a more sedate pace. * Maria easily beats Makoto up the staies and blocks him when he gets to the top. Meep? * Chomei climbs the stairs at a lazy pace. Your ass is grass boy! * Rei pops up behind Makoto. "Doom!" she yells. * Maria eyes Makoto, then grabs him in a headlock and noogies him mercilessly. The non-lethal alternative, this is. Waagh! Uncle! Uncle! Well, in your case... Auntie! Auntie! * Rei laughs and duck-moves around the noogieing, then heads to the second door on the right and pulls out her keys. * Maria grins. "Hmmm... Iii dunno. Rei, you think I should let 'im go yet?" If you feeeeel like it. * Chomei reaches the top of the stairs. "Remind me not to piss you off." ( You get to Rei's "apartment". It's actually just an empty lot with a really, really big cream pie in the center. ) (Pie!) * Maria winks at Chomei, then looks at Makoto. "Makoto, do I feel like letting you go yet?" ( Mmm, pie! ) * Makoto seems to deliberate for a while. Idunno... you -do- smell nice... ...yes, yes I do. * Maria lets go of Makoto. * Makoto snickers and rubs his scalp. Owie. Right. And I'll let the smell bit pass. But only once. 'Cause I'm so nice. * Rei manages to open her door and blinks at the pair. "Aww, that was disappointing. Y'didin't even give him a wedgie." * Chomei looks at Makoto. "I'd offer you a alcohol wipe, but that's Chie's arena." * Makoto snickers. (again) * Maria hmms. "What's a wedgie? I *could* give him one." * Makoto backs away from Maria. No, no. I've learned my lesson. I'll be a good boy. Relatively speaking. * Maria giggles. * Chomei snickers. "I'd tell you, but I know I'd regret it later." * Rei pushes her door open all the way and waves Maria over. * Maria snickers and goes over to the door! Yes, Chomei, you would. * Makoto grins. ( And then they got attacked by an evil panda. No, not really. ) ( But only 'cause pandas aren't evil. ) (Someone's been reading too much PvP recently.) * Rei whispers in Maria's ear, grinning that manic grin the entire time, then heads into her apartment. ( What's PvP? :P ) * Maria turns and grins at Makoto. She then heads merrily inside. * Makoto blinks and stares after Maria and Rei. "What? What'd I do?" * Chomei watches as Maria goes inside. ( Mwahahaha! ) I don't like the looks of this. Whenever they're talking so quiet that I can't hear them, I know something's wrong. ( With Chomei, though, that doesn't take much :P ) ( Hah! ) (Point. :P) I'm afraid to go in next. Chomei, you go in front. Which is why you should... drat. (*snicker*) * Chomei creeps along the wall nearest Rei's door. Who knows what she has in there? * Chomei peeks his head through the door. * Maria does not reach out and grab Chomei's head. She's busy looking around. Hurry it up! * Makoto shoves Chomei into the apartment. If you're going to get eaten by a panda, do it quickly and noisily, so I have time to run for my life. [Rei's apartment is small, especially compared to Chie's. From the doorway, you see an extremely messy, small bed with a neon green bedsheet and orange comforter (with pink stripes) against one wall. Computer parts are strewn over it.] * Chomei is pushed into the room. * Maria looks back. "What's taking you guys so long, anyway?" Oh, Chomei was afraid you'd twist his head of when he came into the room. He's such a wimp sometimes, but you gotta love 'im. * Chomei walks casually in after the push. "Was n- yeah. Being cautious is the only way ya live." * Maria smiles very cutely. "Aww. Don't worry, Cho, you don't haveta' be scared of little me." You're not the one I'm scared of though. Where's Rei? * Maria snickers. [Something that looks suspiciously like a metal waffle is in the middle of the floor. And there a number of other devices: televisions, phones, remote control cars, video cameras, what might be motion detectors, and who knows what else... all strewn about in various states of repair. Oh, and a giant mechanical panda.] * Makoto smiles cheerfully and looks around the apartment. "Nice colors you've got here, Rei. Very... loud... and... bright." As always, of course, Makoto is wearing a lot of black, white, and gray. He looks a bit out of place here. * Maria looks around, eyes clicking to each piece of hardware. This could take a while. Panda! * Chomei looks around the room. "Hey, ya missed some white." He points his finger at a small white spot on the wall. [There are posters, oh yes. Lots of them, similar to the ones Chie has, though they tend to aim towards the 70's rather than the 60's. To the right is a very small eating area with a four-person picnic table thing... unfortunately, it's cluttered with junk, too, so there's only room for one, which is taken up by a cream pie with cucumber slices The kitchen area is remarkably clean and free of clutter.] Damn! I should do something about that. No, Rei, leave it! It's different. ( Doesn't anyone in these futuristic games ever have anything to do with, y'know, the future? :P ) ( Makoto does! But we're not going to his place. ) But it's the beginning of her room's conformation to the standard. * Maria finishes her scan of the apartment. "Nice place, Rei. I mean, even with the colors." Not at all. I think it's a small, quiet reminder of the room's beginning state. Rei will always know how much she's changed the room, if she leaves a little spot of white for contrast. * Makoto seems very serious about the white spot. You like the colors? Cool! I mean, usually the landlord comes in and says, "ARGH, MY EYES!" and runs out screaming in pain and agony, but hey, what does he know? He probably knows that this is going to be a bitch to paint over after you move out. But I'm just guessing. ( He knows many things 'cause he's a villian. ) * Chomei nods. "I see the point you're comming from, but if that spot were to remain in it's current state, it could expand as paint chips off from that location." ( Villainous landlord! ) *Very* nice, actually. Where'd you get all this stuff? ( flea market :P ) (Our basement?) Ah! A valid concern, my dear Chomei. In such an instance, Rei must always be sure that the white spot does not grow. She must make an effort to contain it, but not extinguish it altogether. It's very zen. * Rei hums cheerfully and heads to the kitchen, deftly stepping over a stereo with missing speakers and around a LEGO set on her way. "Oh, here and there. Amazing what people throw away. Make yerselves at home." ( LEGO! XD ) * Maria snickers, and walks over to a random device, picking it up and looking it over. Yes, yes. But if she wished for it to be white, couldn't she just believe in the existance of white without the white space? * Makoto looks at Chomei askance. "now you're just being a weirdo." [Maria picks up a dipping bird! She thinks. Maybe.] * Chomei spies the LEGO set. "Forget the white space, I wanna build a spaceship!" * Makoto turns his attention away from the wall and picks through some of the 'junk' lying around. "Spaceshi--wah! Toys!" * Chomei sits down (yes, on the floor.) and starts mangling the pieces together in odd shapes. * Maria eyes it, then sets it where she found it. She eyes Chomei and the legos. "What're those?" * Rei sings cheerfully as she pulls out an iron and starts the oven. "Waffles, waffles, delicious new-age waffles. o/~" She goes about rummaging through the fridge. Oh nothing... Just the greatest toys ever made. Uh...huh. * Chomei humms as he continues building what appears to be a mix between a kirby and the space shuttle. [Makoto sees an old scanner with a big Engrish lable: "Caution, not to be used for the other use."] Oooh. * Makoto thinks the label is very helpful, since he can't read real English anyway. ( What's that supposed to mean, 'don't scan your butt'? ) Rei! You have some cool stuff here. With this, I could fashion an armada of remotely controlled mecha cosplayers, to put an end to the otaku meetings at the guy's house next door ONCE AND FOR ALL!" * Rei is on her way to making waffles! Cosplay? Why bother when you can do the real thing! * Maria blinks at Makoto. "You could *what*?" We can create an army of giant miniature mecha with sharp pointy fluffy teeth! Oooh! * Makoto looks at Maria. "It's a long story about these neighbors of--" He stops when his cell phone rings. * Maria looks confused. * Makoto answers it. "Talk to me. ... Right. That's good. Okay, I'll be right over." He hangs up and puts his phone into a big pocket. My replacement window's here. Oh, really? Want me to put it in? ( In realirty, I have to go to bed. ^_^ ) Sure! (Reality, even) ( Aww. ;_; See ya', Schnee. ) I'll go pick it up, and then bring it by here. * Maria waves. "Later, Mako." * Rei looks over at Makoto as she fixes the waffles and gives him a thumbs up. "Sounds like a plan with a cherry on top. The car will be good as new. Better than new! With a chocolate syrup balloon launcher!" * Makoto waves at everybody, but answers Rei as he heads out the door. "As long as it's detachable, Rei. Seeya soon!" * Makoto goes! * Maria picks up another random gizmo. "Oh, by the way. About Box?" * Rei blinks and slows down in her ninja cooking a little. She reaches up to grab a Mystery Ingredient (tm) from the pantry. "Yeah?" ( a panda ate it. sorry. ) [Maria picks up an eating utensil with a fork on one end and a spoon on the other.] * Maria tosses that down and looks around some more. "Couldn't find it last night. But." * Rei perks at that and grabs another random ingredient - powdered stuff - which she sprinkles into the batter. I found a place where we can get at the guys that took it. I listened in on their conversation for a bit, too. I think they've gotten past either some or all of whatever you had protecting your computer. I was *tempted* to steal the laptop they had there with 'em, but figured it'd be better if we had everyone there so Laz could knock the location of your box out of 'em. And I could've, too. I was maybe a foot away from them without them noticing me. It helped that they were kinda' arguing with each other, but hey. * Rei looks over at Maria. "They did?" She starts cursing in a number of different languages, but still doesn't slow in her cooking. Yeah. They couldn't get past interpol's protections, tho. Dunno if that was on your computer or what, tho. Might be. I put in heavier security for the Interpol stuff and all. The deeper ya go, the tougher it's gonna get. * Maria frowns. Computers aren't her thing. Alright. Then I don't know how far they got, really. But they know something. They were debating on how useful it is. Hum. Could be anything, really. My computer'd be a sulfur-mine for people like them. * Rei grumbles some more curses as she finishes the waffles, a tangy-sweet aroma filling the room. * Maria grins. "Then I guess we'll have to get it back from 'em tonight." * Chomei emerges from his trance-like state with a black-and-white Lego Kirby in his hand with wing attachments. "Haha! I've done it! Where's Makoto?" ...Makoto left. Like, five minutes ago. * Chomei smells the air. "Oh he did? Oh well, what do you think of my Kirbytron 3000 with dual wing laser-action?" What's cookin'? It's... a Kirby. YOUR DOOM. So you think my Kirbytron is doom and you're cooking Kirby? What kind of sicko are you? * Chomei grins. It's scrumptious, that's what. ( I ask myself that before every session. ) * Rei pokes in the fridge some more and triumphantly emerges with whipped cream and a pint of blueberries. She takes them to the table and pushes most of the clutter into a corner. * Rei goes back, grabs the waffles (on plates!) and sets them on the table, too. "Aww, Makoto left. No waffle for him. Well, maybe I can save it for later. Everyone needs a good old-fashioned new-age waffle." * Chomei hmms. "An army of Kirbytron 3000's..." "New-age waffle"? Do I wanna know? That... is up to you. I don't care as long as it contains Tang. * Rei cackles and throws blueberries and whipped cream on her waffle, then munches away. * Rei moves the cucumber pie to the counter, too. There has to be room for three people, even if there's no elbow room. * Chomei gets the waffle, goes normal with the blueberries and heavy with the whipped cream, plops at the table and starts eating. I sure hope it's Tangless. I'd wanna know what that is before I have it in any waffles. * Chomei grins. "Not bad, not bad at all. You should try some Maria." (The waffles, by the way, are an odd orange and red color. They *are* sweet, tangy, and fluffy. Really good, actually, if weird.) * Maria gets some waffles, puts nothing on them, and sits down to eat. "I plan to. I think." * Maria eats some. "...what's with these?" Tangy! What's with what? The waffles? I craved waffles. Everyone loves waffles! It's tangy, sweet, and a little sour with a slight aftertaste harmonizing with the blueberries. I was hoping the whipped cream would create a sympathetic undertone with the rich symphony of flavors I attempted to present here. No, I mean... tang. Is this tang in these? Yes! And some other stuff. ^_^ The fluffyness of the cream keeps the dish from being too grounded in its roots, while the bottom keeps the top from being too light in texture. Truely a great creation. Yup, it does have a pretty sad undertone with all those blueberries. * Maria frowns and sets the rest of her waffle down. "Right." I am glad you agree. It was a bold attempt of mine to showcase each ingredient in a way which would be most benificial to- * Rei blinks. "What, you don't like it?" * Chomei looks at Maria. "What's not to like. It's good stuff." * Maria frowns and fidgets a little. "Er, 'course it is." Y'don't like it. Do ya? Damn. What is it? Did I put in too many cherries? I mean, I know they're not fresh, but fresh ones are so expensive, and it's a waffle so often people don't pay attention to that anyway, and I really don't think it made *that* big of a difference... * Rei cuts off a smaller piece and scrapes off the topping, then samples, an odd look of concentration on her face. * Chomei looks at Rei concerned. "How's it without the topping? I think it's the Tang. It gets together with the batter and they become a clique, and they don't want me around 'em. It's fine. Better, almost. You can taste the- huh? You don't like Tang? * Rei blinks. * Chomei looks at Maria like she's some kind of freak. Not that anyone would notice, becuase he's been doing that since the beginning. I'm not sure. I've never had it. Okay, that needs to be remedied. * Maria sighs, a doomed expression on her face. So... what? So you don't... I don't get it... damn. * Rei looks crestfallen. Someone doesn't like her cooking. The world must be over. Rei, where do you keep the full-bodied 100% tangy Tangness? * Rei points. * Chomei goes to where Rei points and hastily makes a batch of Tang. I don't think she wants any, though. It's okay. * Rei pokes idly at her waffle. Nah, she needs to try it without any extra stuff. Everyone likes Tang... except for mom, but that's besides the point. Rei? * Rei doesn't look up from her waffle. "What?" * Chomei sets a small glass of ready made Tang in front of Maria. "..." ( I don't! ) ("...!") (Quiet you!) (Infidel!) * Maria eyes the glass and picks it up. ( I also do not like Tang. ) (I think it's okay. I *do* think it would taste pretty good in waffles, but then, I'm weird. :P) (Okay, I admit it, I don't like Tang either. But Ard probably is right... Tangy waffles, gotta try that some time.) ( It appears many of us do not like Tang. ) ( Let us form a rebellion. We shall call ourselves the Tang Liberation Army. ) (TLA?) ( Yes. It abbreviates nicely. ) (Aye, it does.) (That just makes me think of freeing Tang from slavery. It's being oppressed!) (How about Tang Awareness Month?) * Maria takes a big mouthful of Tang. Drumroll, please. (/me rolls 'em) * Maria makes a face. A pained face. * Rei 's too busy poking at her waffle to pay much attention. ( Maria DIES on the spot! (actually, she was assassinated to rally people's anger against Tang. ) ( I don't know if I can join that, since I'm a Taing and all. ) ( .... Sonny was the assassin. See? The evil Tang! ) ( ... ) * Maria sets the glass down, and swallows. From the look on her face, she obviously didn't like it. Poor dear. * Maria frets! * Chomei looks at Maria. "Okay, maybe next time I don't use a 3:1 ratio of Tang to water..." * Rei looks up from her waffle. "Huh?" Um... maybe, yeah. * Rei blinks. "You... don't like Tang? Wait, you don't like Tang. You don't like Tang! How can't you like Tang? Did Chomei screw up or something?" * Rei snatches the glass from Maria's hand and peers at the orangey liquid inside. * Maria blinks. "Uhm... it's possible?" * Maria eyes Chomei. "Chomei, did you screw up?" * Chomei sits down. "No, I just made it the way I like it." ( Chomei-style Tang ) * Rei takes a sip and rolls the liquid in her mouth, then swallows. "Little watery." She grins. "So, I guess Maria just doesn't like Tang. Probably. That kinda sucks, but at least now I know it's not my cooking." She pauses. "Though maybe she'd like Tang pie. *Everyone* likes pie. Didja try my cucumber and cream pie yet? It's really good. Cool and crunchy at the same time." * Maria grins. "Now cucumbers I know I like." ( You guys are just lucky I'm not actually gonna do what I'm thinking about :P ) (What, possess the pie?) ( Nope ^^ ) * Chomei looks at the pie. "I really don't like cucumbers though." But it's good!~ * Rei pouts. * Maria sticks her tongue out at Chomei. "Then you don't have to eat it. Wuss." Do you always pout after you hear something you don't like? No, just when it involves pie. My pie. * Chomei sticks his tongue back out at Maria, making sure she doesn't grab it. * Rei powerposes. "Without pie, there is no honor!" * Maria snickers. * Chomei looks at the pie. "Well, if it's pie, I guess it can't be that bad." Mind if I fix me some pie, Rei? * Rei jumps up and goes to cut up the pie so they can try it. "Okay, you foolish hamster- er, guinea pig- er, voluntary taste testers, here we go! Is it as fluffy as the waffles? Is pie supposed to be fluffy? Filling can be fluffy. The crust usually isn't. I used graham cracker, so that's definitely not fluffy. But the filling's pretty floop, 'cause it's cream and goes splut when you drop it on the ground. Mind if I test that theory Rei? * Rei goes back to the table and sets a slice of pie before each of the foolish mortals. "Only if you don't value your life, sanity, and soul," she says cheerfully. ( Ha! Foolish Mortals! ) Floop, ey? I'll be the judge of that. * Maria picks up her slice of pie and takes a bite. * Maria chews thoughtfully, swallows, and nods. "You're right. It is very floop." ...whatever floop *is*, but hey. * Maria has another bite off the pie. :9 * Chomei looks at Maria... "Is it really good?" * Maria nodnods, and replies with a mouthful of pie. "Yuf." * Rei makes a v for victory! Cool and crisp and fairly floop, just like Rei said. It's good... well, if you like her kind of cooking. * Chomei takes a small taste of the pie, and then starts scarfing it down. "Mrrfm." Aww, yeah! Pie is the solution to the hunger problem! No more anorexics, they cannot resist PIE! * Maria nods in agreement with Chomei. * Maria finishes her pie and licks her fingers. "That was good, Rei. ...can I have more?" * Chomei swallows his bite. "Really good pie Rei. I think you could mix a few berries for a little sweetness though." That's to taste. There's blueberries leftover from the waffles, y'know. * Rei beams at Maria. "Sure! Help yourself!" And she helps herself... to Maria's old waffle. * Chomei grabs the can of blueberries and sprinkles a few on. * Maria gets more pie. :9 And there was much rejoicing. By her. * Chomei finishes his slice of pie. [End]
