Bond post: gifts

Who: Heroes
When: Day 37, evening
Where: All the Cabins

[Rean is visiting YOUR cabin with a big big pot of hot pot and a smile. Or if you don't answer several knocks he'll leave it on your doorstep and your team can spirit it inside to share.]

Ginger | Thyme | Senna | Jasmine | Licorice | Clover

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I don't think so.

[It's not spicy to his taste.]

You can add more seasonings but it should be fine as is.

No, no. I'm not actually equipped for too much spice.

[You go from MRE to limited supplies, to finally normal food, it takes a while to handle spice again.]

So anything exciting happen?

Not that I know of, just been in Ginger cooking. Unless you want to hear graphic descriptions of Leonnie's big big eyes and sad sad tail wag of tragic tragedy, as far as I know it's been quiet in your few hours of sleep. No trains catching on fire.

Oh good. With how things have been going, I wouldn't be surprised if something happened.

Whose Leonnie?

Oh, Rufus's golden retriever. She's a sweetheart.

Ah, that would explain the puppy dog eyes.

[Will be taking a bite of this hot pot now.]

I'm sure you'll get a chance to meet her. And yeah, she's well behaved but, well. A dog, and there was food.

[He's watching trying not to look like he's paying a lot of attention! He wants people to like his food... Which is, well, he was good at hotpot when he was twenty, with five hundred plus extra years of cooking under his belt, he is very, very good at cooking a pleasing hotpot.]

[He's nodding because yes, dogs and food.]

[But then freezes, eyes widening.]

[He chews a bit more.]

[He swallows and looks at Rean.]

Marry me.

[Oh no. He's delighted.]

I'm glad you like it.

It's so good.

How do you make it this good.

This is some kind of witchcraft.

[He's eating more though.]

[You NEVER recover fully from MRE hell.]

[So happy, it is always gratifying to have your cooking liked!!]

I can teach you if you want. Hotpot is actually pretty simple when you've done it once.

....it'd probably be good to figure out if I can cook.

[He actually can, but supply limitations.]

Not sure I could cook this well though.

Only one way to find out. But, later, eat up for now and relax.

Yes mother.

[But he's definitely enjoying this food.]

Plans for tonight after food delivery?

None, really.

Want to see if I do something crazier then jump off a skyscraper?

Sure. I'd love to keep you company for your memories.

Maybe two or three. Depends how heavy they are, I guess.

But I have a stack I shouldn't just leave laying around...

All right. Sounds like a good commitment. I don't need to sleep anyway.

That's why it's not all....eight.

Probably could have nine by the end.

[We are touchy, okay okay.]

....wait, do you seriously not need to sleep? [You ARE a weird spirit thing.]

Eight... jeez.

And yeah. Unless I'm out of energy, I just meditate when everyone else sleeps. Or read or walk around. Or practice sword forms or other things.

[Or space out.]

I'm only really meant to awaken in times of great historical upheaval. Mostly that means war. I'm not that useful if I need sleep when my awakener requires me. And I do sleep for up to a few hundred years at a time.

Just short of five thousand sparks....

That is a far point. Who knows how long you'd need to be awake for a battle in a war. Kind of lucky you can have like....the opposite of sleep debt.

Thought of buying a room upgrade? Or two?

And yeah. I don't... actually remember what it's like to be sleepy, though I do still know what lack of energy or exhaustion feel like.

Well, first is weapons, then seeing what I need for movies. I don't know if I can use the lounge TV or if I'll need another screen.

I want to keep at least a few thousand in the bank at all times.

[For...revivals.]

[As one does]

Also proper pants. After that, then probably see about getting some upgrades. As soon as I can get Clover all together to talk about it.

[Also maybe a cat.]

...pretty much just that. [That's because you sleep only when exhausted, Wash.]

You've already got a full list huh? That's good. Might as well spend them.

[And he nods to that because he doesn't fucking remember that being sleepy is something you can be without exhaustion.]
