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.]

[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.

[errandwings]

[ Aphrodi crosses his arms and pouts. ]

Why not now?

[whatpenguin]

... Because?

We're going to the aquarium now; I can wash up later.

[AKA: He'll change and ignore it because that's totally a healthy thing to do. uwu]

[errandwings]

Fine. But afterwards.

[ Mark his words, Genda, because he will get you clean, whether you want to or not. ]

[whatpenguin]

Alright, alright.

[That gets a little sigh, and he keeps walking on to the Aquarium.
You're like a push girlfriend or something, Aphrodi..........

Topic change!]

The Aquarium has penguins, you know.

[errandwings]

[ Sigh all you want, Genda, Aphrodi's got a Goal now. And you know how he is with those.

A topic change is cool too. Aphrodi is good with waiting. ]

Yep!~ I saw them the other day when I stumbled into it.

[whatpenguin]

[Yeah, but it's his job to block goals you know --]

They're pretty cute, huh? Heh, I wanted to keep one, back when we found them.

[But Kidou and Sakuma are JERKS and won't let him have a pet.]

[errandwings]

[ r u shore you want to block his goals? ]

They are! [ His eyes light up at the idea of keeping one. ]

You can keep them as pets? [ ...he doesn't even like penguins that much but he does feel sorry for them. Maybe he should... get one and teach it to fly... ]

[whatpenguin]

[Positive.]

Well - I'm not really sure if you can, but it can't be too hard, right?
Make sure they stay healthy, make sure they get their exercise, make sure they stay fed - you know!
Like other animals?

[Said as they reach the Aquarium, of course!]

[errandwings]

I've... never had a pet before. It doesn't sound too hard, at least.

[ Going straight to the penguins! ]

[whatpenguin]

[And he's following right along!]

Pets are great, honestly - I've lived with animals all of my life, so it would be nice to have one again!

[errandwings]

[ SPARKLY EYES. DOES THIS MEAN THEY'RE GETTING A PET 8D?? ]

Cool! A- ah, I'd feel bad if we just kidnapped one though. Can it have a friend? [ --Yeah he's just seeing how far he can push it. ]

[whatpenguin]

I don't see why not - penguins seem really social, don't they?
It wouldn't be right to own only one of a social animal! In some places, that's even illegal!

[Because no social animal should go it alone. :c]

[errandwings]

[ Aphrodi nods. Yes good. ]

Okay! That's logical. [ Which ones look the cutest, then? ]

So two penguins! [ ...He's really excited about this. ]

[whatpenguin]

Yes! But we shouldn't get two that are too young.
They need to be able to grow up with their parents.

[Like cats! ... Sort of??]

If you pick them out, I can catch them!

[errandwings]

[ Aphrodi looks at Genda and shakes his head. ]

No, it's okay! I can catch them. [ He's in better shape to be chasing around animals. But he won't be saying that reason aloud. ] I should like, bond with them or something.

You can help me pick, though! [ He starts scanning the penguins to see if there's any that are conveniently in a pair. ]

[whatpenguin]

You're sure about that? I've caught them before - it isn't hard for me...

[Though he's scanning them, too!]

[errandwings]

[ Aphrodi raises an eyebrow. ]

You can catch one. I want to be able to say that I've caught a penguin before.

[ There's... a pair off on the left, a little isolated from the rest of the group. As soon as Aphrodi spots them, he points at the two and makes a rather high-pitched excited noise. ]

Lookie!

[whatpenguin]

[... Did Aphrodi just say "lookie" --

But he does look, giving a smile! And he starts taking off his jacket and shoes then, to make it easier to swim.]

We'll have to go in together if you want both of them - I'd probably scare the other one off!

[errandwings]

[ Aphrodi eyes the water and pouts. Hell no, he's not swimming. Who knows what's in that water.

So, like the smart kid he is, he takes off on his wings that seemed to have come out of nowhere and hovers above. ]

Okay~! I'll go grab the one you're not. [ Eeeh this is exciting! ]

[whatpenguin]

... ?

[He shouldn't be too surprised, but - these are real wings, aren't they...!? They aren't a hissatsu - but this is the guy who managed to plow through half the pitch, so...]

You know, you're going to have to swim, Aphrodi!

[But eh, if he wants to try it that way - Genda gets a small running start, diving into the water and easily swimming towards the pair, grabbing one of them and, predictably, startling the other one. Get it, Aphrodi --!!]

[errandwings]

[ No no look away from the wings they're totally hissatsu. Definitely. ]

I'll swim when I have to! [ He sounds a little petulant.

Luckily, he's busy being distracted by the PENGUIN CHASE!! and proceeds to dive at the other penguin, hitting the water with a splash.

But laskdjal it's like a real thing and the fact that it moves surprises Aphrodi and skdlkja water. Everywhere.

He kicks around a little bit to get used to holding the penguin and gives it a few pats to the head. Yes, good penguin.

Isn't he coming to the surface...? ]
