Who: Jasmine and visitors
When: Day 13, morning
Where: Jasmine and visitors

[80H is in the common area, making food. She's taken off her bandages, and her elbows look entirely fine, like they weren't shot at. The knees might be okay to assume the same of, but they are, naturally, hidden. She hasn't been out much since the trial, or even before it, honestly, but she's been doubling down on her isolated tendencies. She had to talk to one of their newbies but, after that, it was back to being a hermit.

So it is, perhaps, odd to see her out and about making food, and, what's more, it does not seem to be all for her.]

[yesss food I don't have to scoot a stepstool around a million times to prepare]

[also, a teammate.]

Coming up for air?

[voreaciously]

[FOOD!! There are Japanese fare and more western dishes. looks at her quizzically like

what does "coming up for air" mean]

...I beg your pardon?

[acts_her_age]

You've been holed away in your own little aquarium until now, it seems.

[voreaciously]

Oh...you mean coming up, like to breathe. I see.

[it took her a while because. well, very good reasons actually.]

At any rate, I prefer being alone.

[this is actually a fucking lie but there is no reason to believe it's not true, especially given her everything.]

[acts_her_age]

What to you think about the premise of this place, then? "Positive emotions." "Bonds."

[voreaciously]

...Why?

[it's not defensive she is just like. curious. baffled.]

[acts_her_age]

I imagine it's difficult to participate if you're isolated. Removing yourself from the system?

[voreaciously]

I have not missed a trial or event.

[for all the good it's doing her in the former case. They lose so frequently.]

[acts_her_age]

Of course, but our day-to-day activities count as well, don't they? And perhaps our performance in trials could benefit from stronger familiarity outside crisis situations. "Bonding," you know.

[ He's eating a ridic amount of food he's terrible like that ]

Don't worry, you're still my favourite teammate no matter how good this stuff is.

[acts_her_age]

[and-- moves past it, bringing over her own plate to a lower table casually]

We're lucky that multiple teammates remember how to cook, but I prefer when she does, yes.

[spectacularluck]

She's pretty good at it. But it is probably better if we all take turns on doing it whenever possible.

[acts_her_age]

Suggesting a chore wheel?

[spectacularluck]

After a careful night of self-examination I decided I can be all about team building and all that stuff.

Also, even I feel a little bad about not doing my share of things, soooo ... a chore wheel doesn't sound bad.

And if I convince you all I could get a couple of sparks out of it.

[acts_her_age]

What a change of heart. Am I to be included in the rotation?

[spectacularluck]

You're my favourite so I should give you special treatment, but as the best adult on this team, I have to do the right thing and include you in this plan.

[acts_her_age]

"The best adult?"

[crimeson]

Looks like it. Mornin'... Coral, right?

[acts_her_age]

That's what's been settled on. Good morning, Randy.

[crimeson]

Man, I feel pretty bad for not even tryin' to help you figure out a name, though. Sorry about that.

[acts_her_age]

[shrugs]

We didn't run into any problems without, but I wasn't going to let him keep calling me "kid." Unless I got to call him Sticky, of course.

[crimeson]

Oooo, he didn't catch onto the whole not callin' you "kid" thing quick enough, then? Or just wouldn't stop?

[acts_her_age]

He threatened that it would be his go-to unless I had a name to give him. It's lucky that he rejected my first idea for him, since the aquatic theme works better for names than decor, I think. Well, and my first suggestion was just another way of saying "sticky."

[crimeson]

Hah! You guys are well matched for sass, it sounds like. They're good names, though, so I'm glad you guys worked them out.
