w2, tuesday
kitchen?
oh my god the meme bless u
[and mineo will reliably be there. he's yawning a bit like he just woke up even though it's the afternoon but that's probably the sloth talking. he's in the middle of chopping up veggies (no carrots) for ramen........ it's instant ramen but make it fancy
it still tastes good so it's fine]
Any topping preferences, White-kun?
cries
[white's just standing around, hands in his pockets as he pretends he's not nervous.
whenever wrath enters, white takes advantage of mineo being distracted by veggies to point at himself and make a frantic face that hopefully conveys BE MAD AT ME, NOT HIM!! to wrath. hopefully.]
no subject
I bet I could guess White's topping preference. [hehehe.] You know, it's been about, uh - years, since I've had ramen.
[they come to a stop next to the two of them.] Hey boys.
no subject
[but he is. totally missing white's nervous fluttering as he greets wrath]
Hey, Wrath-san!
[ . . . ]
.... so wait, what was that about toppings? What do you want?
[HE DIDN'T GET IT]
no subject
it takes white a moment before hE TURNS RED AND YELLS INDIGNANTLY]
no subject
Nothing, nothing, shh. I'm very picky about food, not that you'd remember since it's been weeks since you've come to talk to me. [they put the back of their hand to their forehead.]
White has rights, though. Uh - so, what are you bribing me for?
no subject
oh no
HE IMMEDIATELY LOOKS GUILTY]
Ahh, I'm sorry....!! It's been - [murderous] - .... a lot.... you know...?
[but now he feels bad]
.... Now I feel like I can't ask for anything...
[MINEO]
no subject
he sighs, shoving his hands back into his pockets with a bit more force than necessary as he doesn't quite look at wrath.]
We're here 'cause of, uh... the thing you know nothing about.
no subject
[they don't seem like they mind that much.]
What thing. Spit it out, you're starting to worry me.
no subject
.... White-kun said you might - uh, 'not know' anything about the jail cell.
[he tilts his head.]
If it's too personal, I don't want to intrude especially after not seeing you for so long.
But I've been trying to look around the station, and I have some questions about what happened when I investigated in there.
no subject
no subject
The jail cell isn't really... my thing, but sure, okay. What's up? Just ask, my dude.
no subject
but he'll go back to making the ramen so that they can eat!! hungy.]
Thanks, Wrath-san.
Are the different floors related to each of the Avatars? Is that why you show up to look after us in public when one of your favorite rooms appears?
no subject
no subject
they fold their arms.]
That seems like a pretty good guess.
no subject
but mineo nods!]
Is that the case for... every room on the floor? [he tilts his head] I was thinking... The cargo room seemed a little out of place last week.
And now the one with all the creepy research stuff also seems pretty out of place next to - you know, library and dog park.
Are those related to the station, rather than Avatars?
no subject
anyway, white continues to be useless here, so. continue.]
no subject
but they just fold their arms.]
I feel like you're, uh, fishing for some sort of clues here. They're just rooms.
no subject
mineo will at least acknowledge that he's just chilling, so when he finishes chopping a piece of celery, he holds it up for a second to get white's attention before tossing it over to him to catch in his mouth]
Hmm... Yeah, I kind of am.
[honesty!]
But I guess I've just been curious 'cause someone saw a weird pink eye in one of the rooms.... Feels pretty horror sci-fi movie to me, you know?
no subject
he also blinks in surprise because he hadn't heard about the eye.]
no subject
[wrath,
also they golf clap politely for mineo and white's dinner and show.]
no subject
he's realizing now that apparently he didn't tell white? oops. which is perhaps why the next think mineo tosses at him is a little bit of chopped beef. it's cooked it's fine
he does a little bow for wrath too before he straightens up]
Yeah, but like... a disembodied pink eye. Not attached to a person. That's weird, right?
no subject
Eyes seem to be a theme around here or some shit.
no subject
It sure is weird! I honestly couldn't tell you what's up with that because I don't know.
no subject
[but before he tosses everything into the pot, he picks up a piece of chopped beef with his chopsticks again]
Wanna try to catch, Wrath-san?
[IS WRATH JOINING THEIR STUPID GAME]
no subject
[
why are they like this]
no subject
[... also.]
-- Uh, yes? Also? I will absolutely catch.
no subject
[and we're pausing plot talk because mineo is gonna toss the chopped beef in wrath's direction in a nice arc for an easy catch]
no subject
[white just lets out an amused snort as he watches this.]
no subject
technically kobe is for throwing and not catching but i'd die before letting that double meme/pun pass me by, so. KOBE.]
no subject
[WRATH STAN SQUAD GROWS
but mineo's just laughing as he puts all the ingredients with the instant ramen now. wow gourmet.]
no subject
no subject
Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week.
no subject
[easily!! and he'll just idly stir the ramen as it cooks]
I really am sorry that it took me so long to deliver on seeing you... but White-kun's a fan of yours, so I've heard good things!
no subject
no subject
[they seem pleased by this. in fact, they scoot over to white and kiss him on the cheek. sorry, not sorry.]
It's fine, I guess! I don't have a speedrunning route though. Just so you know. I'm a classy lady that likes to be wined and dined before I drop my lore spaghetti.
no subject
I wouldn't expect anything less! It's better to get to know a person first anyway, right? I'm sure your - uh, lore spaghetti or whatever is worth it!
no subject
Don't worry, Mineo's a nerd who'd never think of getting that far without a date first.
no subject
Haha. You guys are a riot. [...] Are you going to impress me with your ramen?
no subject
[CONFIDENTLY and honestly it doesn't take more than three minutes because it's fucking instant ramen made fancy. but he's prepared enough for three bowls!! so he'll go to divide them up and - yes, it is instant ramen but. he chopped up some beef, scallion, added beansprouts, fish cakes, seaweed, and yea there's an egg in each bowl. it probably tastes good?? why doesn't he just get normal noodles.
he still serves them up confidently]
Gourmet Chef Enomoto Mineo's Luxury Deluxe Ramen...!!
no subject
[... he still looks kind of excited as he grabs his chopsticks given that he's been living off of the vending machine for weeks.]
no subject
Ooh. Wow, for instant ramen this is pretty good. And I'm picky.
no subject
Hell yeah!! Thanks, Wrath-san! Take that, White-kun!!
no subject
Whadya mean, "take that"? What the hell were we fighting over— [HIS NOODLES SLIP OH NO] —Shit!
no subject
You are both disasters. [they kick their heels against the counter.]
no subject
But it's fun to be a disaster with us, right?
