Characters: A grumpy redhead and YOU.
Setting: Cafeteria/kitchens, backdated to yesterday.
Format: [why do I even put this on here]
Summary: The siren's call of real food has drawn someone out of his post-event hiding place.
Warnings: Possibly event aftermath?

[He's done a good job of making himself missing the last week and a half, holed up in a back corner of the library with a beanbag and as many books as he can carry. It's actually a bit of a surprise when the new month comes around, bringing with it food other than Jason's nutrition bars, and that, ultimately, is what draws him away from the standard part of the cafeteria and back into the kitchens. It definitely seems to have put him in a better mood - he's more animated than he's been in a while as he looks through the cupboards and large refrigerator.

Before long, he's got a pot of water boiling for tea and a selection of chicken breast on the cutting board, a knife in hand as he trims away fat and chops the chicken into smaller pieces. Maybe if you approach him, he'll make your something that isn't covered in flowers.

But don't count on it.]

[Yep, definitely annoying. It's starting to bounce off, just a little.]

Trust me, I haven't forgotten that.

[Less suffering than his previous roommates, but that doesn't mean it's great.]

... Meaning you might? Mister Ashen, if you forget your hair, I will be most concerned for your health!

[ GAAAASP. ]

[An annoyed growl - okay, Break, someone's gotten fed up with your bullshit.]

Why do you care so much about my hair anyway?

Says the one who was only interested in his long lacy locks to begin with, begin with!

[ Chimes in Emily, and Break waves a floppy sleeve. ]

Now, now, Emily, he's simply FAR too involved to notice he's too involved! It's rude to go around saying things a little TOO true.

[ Aww it's okay Asch, he's... just distracting you and trying to make you not be so down in his own weird and annoying way, honestly. You're not thinking about being a drone if he's annoying you, after all. ]

[Except that he kind of is, sorry Break.]

You're the one who took the first chance you could to mess around with it.

[And no, he's not thanking you for the hair ties.]

Oh? I do not recall hearing you protest, Mis-ter Ashen. ... Aside from which, I thought you looked quite fetching! Have you ever considered a bit of makeup and some pink? It would do wonders for your poor attitude, which I am sure we can also adjust!

[ JUST. SMILING. ALL NICE-LIKE. C: ]

[HE IS GOING TO HIT YOU WITH THIS FRYING PAN. FULL OF HOT OIL. AND ALSO CHICKEN.]

Don't do it again.

[ If you CAN hit him. Also will you waste that oil, Asch. Will you waste all that hard effort? ]

Then I would suggest you try not to get eye surgery in the future! I hear diamond eyes are far less useful than glass ones, at any rate. ... But a nice shade of pink would truly bring out those lovely diamonds, I think.

[Honestly it's not the first time he's done something stupid in a fit of temper. Blame the inbreeding, always the inbreeding.]

It wasn't like I had a choice.

Oh, I don't know, you have quite a few options open in the makeup department, Mister Ashen! It would help that pale face of yours.

[ Yeah he knows what you meant, nope he don't care. ]

[It's really not an okay thing to joke about, Break.]

How about next time, you go visit the labs instead?

[ Most things aren't. But he's here to help you GET THE FUCK OVER IT, and he will be damned if you keep avoiding him and it, Asch. ]

As much as I would love to, that is a trip best saved for another time, Mister Ashen. This kind of shade of white... it is more ghostly than ash. I will have to start saying you're a spook if you keep this up, and you know how most feel about being spooked!

[Actually, most things Asch just kind of lets blow by. I suppose next you'll be talking about his mother.]

Like I care! You just have no idea when to quit, do you?

[ Why, do you need to discuss her, Ashy Boy? ]

If you do not care, then why are you so agitated? No one wants to be a spook. You are certainly not helping your case much!
