the engima deepens

Characters: Jungo and you! And also possibly Jungo²
Setting: The cafeteria and the aquarium, morning to afternoon on March 1st
Format: I'll match what I'm given.
Summary: Jungo has more questions than he does answers, so he's going to hang around and try to learn how to cook things that aren't chawanmushi. Later, his cat gives him a tour of the aquarium.
Warnings: None. This shouldn't get too bad.

[Cafeteria:]

[There are a lot of things in the tower recently that Jungo just doesn’t understand. That’s not too new to the chef from Nagoya; he tends to follow orders and go with the flow. He barely explores the tower aside from the floors he’s grown accustomed to, and he’s grown a bit used to life inside the Tower...or at least, he thought he had. The games he had to play, the talk of souls, the video of someone being eaten...those are definitely things he’s not used to. He wants some answers, but he’s not entirely sure where to look, so he goes to do what he knows how to do best.

It’s just a bonus that there are new ingredients to cook with.

While Jungo is perfectly content to stand in the kitchen and try whipping up various things with them to the best of his ability (while also realizing that these ingredients are pretty simple), he’s going to be a bit more proactive about cooking for others as well. If he sees anyone just sitting around the cafeteria, they can count on an intimidating looking guy walking up to them and trying to get their attention.]


Hey. Why aren’t you eating?

[Sure, he's not smiling. His voice is a bit low, threatening, and his tuque covers one of his eyes if he's standing at the right angle...but it could be worse. If he already knows you, he's going to cook up something and bring it over without being asked...and he's never cooked fish sticks before.]

[Floor 10:]

[Once he’s done experimenting with things and chatting with others, Jungo spots something familiar out of the corner of his eye. It’s his own cat, also named Jungo. The human Jungo doesn’t have a habit of watching where Jungo goes during the day, so he decides to give chase this time. He follows the cat up the flights of stairs until he’s standing in the aquarium for the first time; he’s never gotten off to look around this floor before. The wild cat isn’t against the company, but to anyone walking by it will very much look like a cat is leading Jungo on a tour. Every so often, the cat will stop to stare at a certain fish, and Jungo will speak to the cat.]

Mm. So that’s one you like, too, huh?

Oh, that's sort of funny. [ .. even if it doesn't sound that way, considering she says it in her usual blank voice. ] There was a woman in my dreams a while ago who lost fingers too. Maybe it was the same woman.
chainsawn: (ivory tower; i know the way you think)

[personal profile] chainsawn 2013-03-14 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
You mean you didn't give it back to the woman? She looked like she needed it, you know.

[ Yet it's here, even though she was missing so many fingers..? ]

.. I hope she wasn't lying..
chainsawn: (now we're sleeping with the television)

[personal profile] chainsawn 2013-03-16 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe she liked you. She was like "ah, that guy was so nice for giving it back to me".. so she decided she didn't need it after all and that you could keep it.

[ She nods to herself, taking another bite of the food he brought. Seems reasonable to her. ]
chainsawn: (i hope i'll never wake up)

[personal profile] chainsawn 2013-03-17 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She puts her elbows on the table, leaning her chin on her hands as she thinks. ]

Maybe you should put it on your own hand. Then you can have six fingers.
chainsawn: but we're both already gone (one of us is leaving soon)

[personal profile] chainsawn 2013-03-18 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
.. A hand with six fingers? I've never seen one before.

[ she's completely taking the question the wrong way without realising.. ]
chainsawn: (stuck at the lost and found)

Sometimes dreams can seem really real. [ she could know.. ] Maybe it was one of those dreams. And you thought of people from the Tower since you like them.
chainsawn: became one heart in me (one out of thousands in the world)

[personal profile] chainsawn 2013-03-23 09:18 am (UTC)(link)
... Maybe it was just a weird dream.

[ even though she has weird ones all the time and never considers them weird herself.. ]
chainsawn: (and the future we promised)

[personal profile] chainsawn 2013-03-23 09:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ She nods a little, almost absent-mindedly considering she seems more focused on playing with the food again while she talks to him. ]

I like dreaming, so I do it a lot. I even have a diary to talk about my dreams in.. someone helped me with that.
chainsawn: (you wanna get it right)

[personal profile] chainsawn 2013-03-24 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Hey, she ate some of it! It was only about two or three bites, but.. it's.. something.. ]

Do you dream a lot about food when you do dream..?
