2nd Goal

[whatpenguin]

Characters: Genda Koujirou and YOU!
Setting: Cafeteria
Format: Action please!;
Summary: FOOD.
FOOD.
Warnings: I'll add them in if there are any!

[After finding out the tower's been restocked, Genda's well past raided the fridge by now - he's cooked everything he knows how, prepared tons of homestyle meals, and now?
He's got it all spread out on a table and he is stuffing his face.
Genda's also made sure to avoid anything he deems inedible, too. Which means no poisonous foods, and definitely no vegetables, yuck.

You're free to the food too, of course! As it is, he's probably going to offer anyway.
... Not that he wouldn't be able to eat it all himself.]

Comments

[whatpenguin]

[That gets a pause, tilting his head, but he draws his hand back and settles it at his side instead.]

Most people don't do something like that unless they're ill, though.
... I'm sorry if it seemed like I pressured you to eat.

[Guess he was wrong to think they were friends right off the bat? Genda has a screwy idea of how friendship works, after all.]

[errandwings]

I'm very not ill, don't worry about it. [ People do this all the time, promise! ]

It's okay. I would have thrown up on you if I was going to blame you.

[ They are still friends don't worry! He just ate a bite for you, Genda, if that isn't friendship what is? ]

[whatpenguin]

... What a pleasant thought. [H-hahaha...]

Did you know you were going to get sick, though?

[errandwings]

[ Aphrodi nods. Yes it's a very pleasant thought, isn't it? But he didn't, so there's no dirty laundry!

He pauses before answering the next bit though. ]

Err, maybe?

[whatpenguin]

... So you did, then.

[errandwings]

[ C- caught! ]

...Yeah, I guess I did.

[whatpenguin]

Then why did you eat some of it if you knew it was going to make you ill?

[He doesn't understand. 8( Why make yourself sick, Aphrodi??]

[errandwings]

I was hoping it wouldn't...

[whatpenguin]

...

[S-sigh.]

You shouldn't gamble with your health like that; it's not good for you.

[errandwings]

It doesn't matter either way.

[ He tries to handwave the topic away. ]

[whatpenguin]

[Nooo no. You can't just handwave away a topic when a motherhen is concerned.]

It matters a lot, Aphrodi.
You're my friend - if you make yourself sick, I won't forgive you for it.

[He's serious! His friends are the most important thing to him, and you're his friend now!]

[errandwings]

But I'm not sick.

[ He understands that much but this is a topic he'd really rather not discuss with Genda. ]

It's nothing, really. [ See? He's giving the most reassuring smile he can muster at the moment. ]

[whatpenguin]

... Alright. I won't push it.

[But now he's curious... :S]

[errandwings]

Thanks. [ Good, because Aphrodi really doesn't want to share. ]

Sorry for interrupting your meal. [ He laughs sheepishly. ]

[whatpenguin]

No, don't worry about it. [That gets a little smile from Genda again, and he waves it off.]

I like having company around in this place, anyway - it's weird being alone for so long, you know?

[errandwings]

Well, if you ever need me I'll--

[ He cuts himself off. He's actually not in his room all that much. ]

...Um, I'll be around? My room is 1-18 but I'm not there much.

[whatpenguin]

Ah, I know. [They promised they'd be there for each other when Aphrodi arrived!

He pauses a bit, thinking.]

... Would you like to go see the aquarium, maybe? I can always clean all that up later.

[And he'd like company right now. Just... not company who can't eat.]

[errandwings]

...Alright. I don't see why not!

[ Aphrodi nods and perks up at the sound of going to the aquarium. It's pretty there! ]

[whatpenguin]

Great!

[Genda gives him a big grin then, motioning for him to follow.]

Have you visited it yet, Aphrodi? It's rather neat - there's nothing between you and the water, there.

[errandwings]

I have. It's pretty nice there.

[ Aphrodi follows closely, frowning a little when he walks up to Genda.

....How did he not notice how dirty this guy is? ]

[whatpenguin]

[He turns a bit as he walks to give Aphrodi a smile - though it falters a bit at that frown...]

... Is something wrong?

[errandwings]

[ Oh, well it seems a little rude to put it bluntly but... Well, it's not like he's going to dance around the subject. ]

...When was the last time you washed?

[whatpenguin]

... W-well. With monsters roaming around, and ah, the power cut, it... didn't feel very necessary?

I mean, after getting clean, I just ended up getting dirty again, so there wasn't really a point in cleaning in the first place...

[He hasn't changed much, either - he didn't want to ruin all his uniforms with wears and tears, after all.]

[errandwings]

It's over now, right?

[ He personally hasn't seen any monsters yet, nor has he experienced the power cut.

Aphrodi ends up sighing. Why couldn't he have come a little ealier when help was actually needed? ]

Well you can wash now then!

[whatpenguin]

... I suppose. [He doesn't really.

Want to.]

I'll wash up after we visit the aquarium, then.
