You're welcome.

But man... That was a close one, eh?

Week 1, Tuesday.

[whatsmytalentagain]

[Knock, knock. It's the avocado boy.]

[swordsinternally]

Sakura's the name of my kouhai-- well, she's a friend of mine, anyway. But no... not cookie in a mug style cooking. Like actual cooking. I'm a chef. I've made things like chicken karaage and hot pot, actually. Other things, too. If you'd like, if I'm able to access the kitchen, I can always cook something up for you real quick. I don't mind.

[foo_bar]

[well his door is open, and true to his word, he is 100% engrossed in his laptop.

scare him?]

[foo_bar]

... Ohhh, that is tempting. It's been so long since I've had real food...

[whatsmytalentagain]

[Not the best idea.

He's just gonna walk on in... Maybe take a peek at what Han's typing up here if he can?]

[foo_bar]

[it's code. so much code.

but he breaks from his focus, and turns and stares at Rantarou]

... Hello.

[whatsmytalentagain]

... Hey. I wasn't interrupting anything, was I?

[foo_bar]

[he shuts his laptop and sets it on the desk]

No, no. Sorry, I got wrapped up in some extra stuff. [from the subject he cares about]

How can I help you?

[swordsinternally]

Well...

[ Maybe he can turn the odds towards his favor, here. ] When it comes to cooking real food, I can say confidently that I'm good at it. Besides, having actual good and healthy food will probably help make for a good teaching environment.

Week 1, Monday Night

[unhalting]

[knock knock, dude]

Hey, you around?

[whatsmytalentagain]

[Nod, nod.]

You wanted me to keep asking questions, didn't ya? I was wondering how you guys learned you were immune to that hijacking stuff...

[donotlick]

Don't I know it. We get a whole bunch of you in Detroit. Would make my job a whole lot easier if everybody was so damn polite.

I've been around the block more than the rest of the kids you guys grabbed, that's for sure.

[ No answering yes or no on the Hale thing, since, y'know, he's gotta keep some secrets. ]

[foo_bar]

[honestly, he figured, Hank. He figured.]

Detroit, eh? Not close to my neck of Canada, but I've heard... things.

[foo_bar]

MMMMmmm....... Okay.

But I want a sample.

[foo_bar]

How?

How I learned, right? Because I can't speak to Megumi.

[foo_bar]

[he tilts his laptop screen so it can't be seen]

Yeah, come in.

[unhalting]

Sorry for the intrusion.

[Although he could probably stand to sound more sincere about that, but meh. He'll close the door behind him though. Okay, straight to business.]

What else can you tell me about what's goin' on outside these walls?

[foo_bar]

That's the thing. I'm not sure.

[he runs a hand through his hair and sighs.]

Probably not what you were looking for, eh?

[donotlick]

[ Smarter than he looks, this one. ]

Yeah, it's a shithole. But it's my shithole, y'know? Especially since Cyberlife moved in and bought out half the city with their whole 'revitalization' project. Fat lot of good that did us.

[foo_bar]

I'm going to be honest... I've never heard of Cyberlife. Outside of Connor saying it.

But they're already committing one of my least favorite sins.

[unhalting]

[Nope, definitely not what he's expecting, from the looks of his face.]

The hell? They didn't tell you anything about that even though you work for 'em? [probably ironic considering his own situation but. eh.]

[foo_bar]

[it's... more complicated than that. And he rubs his temples.]

No, it's not like that. When I came to work here, I had to walk through that part of campus, you know? It used to be fine.

[unhalting]

...And how long ago was that?

[is it creepin up on them.]

[foo_bar]

I'm not completely new. I was hired at the start of the summer. So, imagine my surprised when walking home one day, everyone around me goes crazy.
