Down the Hatch

[terreifying]

Characters: [AU1] Rei and you!
Setting: cafeteria, July 4
Format: anything goes
Summary: Rei hosts a hotdog eating competition
Warnings: none yet except for descriptions of Rei's eating.

[Today, starting from lunchtime, diners might notice something odd about the cafeteria. Rei had pushed several tables together and covered them with piles of hot dogs. Chairs surrounded the tables and a crayon sign, standing out from all the hot dogs, was in the center of the tables.]



[And Rei herself was sitting in one of the chairs. She was already gulping down hot dogs at the rate of one per mouthful. Her mouth was seemingly distended to show a gaping maw and white teeth too many in number to belong in a human mouth.]

[Indeed, if anyone takes up the challenge, it might be a formidable one...]

Comments

[terreifying]

[She nods.]

So how many powers do you have now?

[hemoeroticism]

Aside from the Wretched Egg's, and Woodpecker's unique one?

All of them. ✩

[terreifying]

Wow, that's pretty cool.

[She grabs another hot dog to much on.]

I sorta wanna see what you can do with those abilities, now.

[hemoeroticism]

Didn't you see it already?

[terreifying]

Yeah, I saw you kill all the zombies. Were those the powers you took from all of the other Deadmen?

[The whips and fire and such.]

[hemoeroticism]

Yep! ✩

[ He's clearly proud of himself, Rei. Can't you tell? ]

[terreifying]

[She can tell.]

Too bad none of these Deadman powers is an eating power.

[And there goes another hot dog.]

[hemoeroticism]

No, I guess they're not... hmm, come to think of it, what is Masu's Branch of Sin?

[ That extreme omnivore. He brings a hand to his chin. Damn it, this is gonna annoy him all day. ]

Do I even have that one? ✩

[terreifying]

Maybe if he ever gets here, you can ask him.

[hemoeroticism]

I think that's one of the few Deadman I hope never shows up here.

[terreifying]

Why? Is he a bad person?

[hemoeroticism]

If by 'bad' you mean 'annoying.' ✩

[terreifying]

Oh, okay.

[She takes a moment to try to visualize something "annoying."]

Like 7-Zark-7 from that old show?

[hemoeroticism]

Never heard of it.

[terreifying]

Oh, he's from an old cartoon. One with a flaming airplane. He was this little robot, and the cartoon always cut away from the best scenes to show him. And his voice is kinda weird too.

[hemoeroticism]

... Nope, never heard of it. ✩

[terreifying]

Oh. I wonder if they have videos...they did have them for Aceman.

[hemoeroticism]

How should I know? I did what I did for the Wretched Egg out of love. After all... just like before, I'm here for her, and Woodpecker isn't. ✩

[terreifying]

I think she's very glad you are. Having a close friend from home makes everything better.

[hemoeroticism]

Heh... yeah, I guess she would be happy about that, wouldn't she?

[ Too bad Ganta isn't here to hear that one. ] Don't worry. My love is the only love she needs. ✩

[terreifying]

I dunno. She has other friends, doesn't she? I mean, it's fine to have one really good best friend, but everyone needs more than just one friend.

[hemoeroticism]

Oh, she does. It's hard not to love Shiro, I'll even admit that. But from her own world? It's just me, here.

[terreifying]

Mm, yeah. You'd definitely be that one special friend that nobody can replace ever.

[hemoeroticism]

Aha, aww, how sweet of you. ✩

[terreifying]

[She smiles, but looks sad. This is all making her miss Shinji and the others a lot.]
