  1. (6:01:20 PM) Rocco: [ The lure of real food is what brought you to try and get back, but you stepped through the wrong portal thing apparently and got spat out in a different house entirely. If you could call it a house. Parts of this place remind you too much of a hospital for you to really be able to relax ]
  2. (6:01:42 PM) Rocco: [ The sunset sky looks pretty nice though, you have to admit ]
  3. (6:04:58 PM) azulineDreamery: [ There is somebody there when you arrive. You weren't expecting that! Most people stay on Lilura or Charta-and-Abel's Land. This one...has kind of a shortage of dry land, after all. ]
  4. (6:05:57 PM) azulineDreamery: [ You pull your sleeves back down and wave hesitantly to the man at the window. "Um. Hi?" ]
  5. (6:08:27 PM) Rocco: [ You startle and jump, staring at the other before hesitantly waving back. "Hi?" ]
  6. (6:09:41 PM) azulineDreamery: [ "It's..." you begin, and trail off awkwardly. ]
  7. (6:09:51 PM) azulineDreamery: [ "Um. Shoot. I forgot your name." ]

  9. (6:10:22 PM) azulineDreamery: [ "Ceci." You step forward to offer a hand to shake? ]
  10. (6:10:58 PM) Rocco: [ You give her palm a once over quickly before shaking it. "Y'know where the fuckin' food 'ere is?" ]
  11. (6:12:54 PM) azulineDreamery: [ "Oh! Yes. Yes, I do. Here, the kitchen's up two floors--" And you take his hand again and lead the way. ]
  12. (6:14:35 PM) Rocco: [ "Y'don't gotta lead me like I'm some kinda toddler, y'know," you snort, making no move to actually remove your hand from hers. ]
  13. (6:17:39 PM) azulineDreamery: [ "Oh? Can you keep up?" She drops his hand, and takes the stairs two or three at a time. ]
  14. (6:19:26 PM) Rocco: [ "Y'got /no/ idea," you snort, picking up the pace after her. ]
  15. (6:22:52 PM) azulineDreamery: [ You laugh and race him all the way up the stairs. ]
  16. (6:22:52 PM) azulineDreamery: [ "So! This is...well, yeah, it's the kitchen. There's a sofa and couches and the alimentator and an 'chemiter over in the other room" You wave vaguely. "And I guess it's pretty well stocked?" ]
  17. (6:24:06 PM) Rocco: [ You try to hide the fact that you're out of breath from the run up and nod. "Got it. Where's the fridge?" ]
  18. (6:24:31 PM) azulineDreamery: [ You point. ]
  19. (6:27:54 PM) Rocco: [ You grin and set about raiding it. "Y'want anythin' for I pick this clean?" ]
  20. (6:29:04 PM) azulineDreamery: [ "C'n I get the last turkey leg? And some of the can't-believe-it's-not-pumpkin pie?" ]
  21. (6:30:04 PM) Rocco: [ "Sure - but I'm eatin' everythin' else I can, y'hear?" ]

  23. (6:31:20 PM) azulineDreamery: [ Your eyebrows raise. "When was the last time you /ate/?" ]
  24. (6:32:38 PM) Rocco: [ "Eh...Some time go? I dunno. Ain't got a watch," you shrug, pulling out various bits and pieces. "I been eatin' land shrooms, can ya blame me?" ]

  26. (6:34:24 PM) azulineDreamery: [ "Nnno. Did you not get told about the food hack?" ]
  27. (6:34:45 PM) Rocco: [ "Found it like fifteen minutes ago." ]
  28. (6:35:49 PM) Rocco: [ You shrug and wave a bowl of salad over at her. "Fuckin' /miracle/ that it is!" ]
  29. (6:35:52 PM) azulineDreamery: [ "....do you want help setting it up? What do you wanna eat?" ]
  30. (6:36:20 PM) azulineDreamery: [ You nod. "Yeah, it's...pretty useful. Woulda been nice to have our first time around." ]

  40. (6:46:00 PM) azulineDreamery: [ You wave a hand. If he's as hungry as that, well! "It's all leftovers, really, I'm fine. But...maybe some of the grilled veggies? And the rest of the turkey?" ]
  41. (6:48:03 PM) Rocco: [ "Pie, veggies, an entire turkey...An' you asked when /I/ ate last." ]
  42. (6:49:24 PM) azulineDreamery: [ "There isn't a whole turkey left!" you retort. "And I was going to save some of it for the next trip out on the water." ]
  43. (6:49:34 PM) azulineDreamery: [ "Fish's ready, by the way." ]
  44. (6:49:45 PM) Rocco: [ "Fine, fine, th' rest of the entire turkey." ]
  45. (6:50:02 PM) Rocco: [ "Lo an' behold, my point, it fuckin' stands." ]
  46. (6:52:35 PM) azulineDreamery: [ "So?" ]
  47. (6:52:43 PM) azulineDreamery: [ You cross your arms and huff. ]
  48. (6:54:01 PM) Rocco: [ "So, y'ain't in no position to make snark on how much I wanna eat. How you been asides?" you shrug, going over to investigate her claims of trout. ]
  49. (6:58:00 PM) azulineDreamery: [ Lo an' behold, there is grilled trout. "Um. It's been okay? I've been trying to map a few of the Lands and Dungeons and puzzles, 'n Karen's helped me take care of Ross. It's.." ]
  50. (6:58:21 PM) azulineDreamery: [ "It's still pretty awkward." ]
  51. (6:58:40 PM) Rocco: [ "Which one is Karen again?" ]
  52. (7:05:36 PM) azulineDreamery: [ "Long black hair, red eyes, has the egyptian eye-markings?" You mimic them with a traced finger. "Nosy. Helpful." ]
  53. (7:06:09 PM) Rocco: [ "Ain't seen mucha 'er but the eye-thing is a reminder, yeah. Heh. Kinda reminds me of m'kid niece." ]
