Franklin is the first to respond to the Gjallarhorn duo, putting away the handset while causally replying, "Well, you know, cooking something for—-"
"My belly!" Caulifla!Kale waves towards Michael in particular. " 'Ey, Cap'n Mikey, you have any of this "Giving Thanks" holiday where y'ah from? Hell, if Planet Sadala has this, I'd been the first one to clean house!" Very odd behavior coming from such a normally sweet girl.
"Yeah, apparently the Saiyans just found out about Thanksgiving (slip of my tongue), and H.E.R.B.I.E and I decided to treat them to the thing. Heck, the whole place here can have some." Franklin sighs, then notices Kinnikuman from afar. "Can't make it in time, huh? Join the club..."

(Julieta is naturally curious about this) Sir?
Well, we do, but it's very much an SAU* thing. Then again, we also celebrate it at Vingolf, so I don't mind joining in. You do as well, Julieta.
You sure, sir?
Yeah, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
(Both of them take seats at the table, and afterward, Michael has a question.)
Did something happen? You seem unusually excitable, Kale.
*That's not a typo. The Strategic Alliance Union is effectively the United States, Canada and the Southern American nation joined together in the Post-Disaster timeline.
"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."Sorry guys, I'll be right back in half an hour. Something came up.
"SAU? Vingolf? I'm assuming they're...other organizations? Some locations, places?" Franklin scratches his blond hair. H.E.R.B.I.E, meanwhile, mindlessly documents the details while helping Kale!Caulifla with the soup stirring.
"Yeah, y'ah can get some, Finhead," Caulifla!Kale waves over the wrestler to the table. "Don't be surprised when there's not much food left though..."
Upon spotting the soldiers taking their seats, Franklin answers Michael's inquiry. "Oh, yeah, long story. The Saiyans switched bodies after...fusing? (Yeah, we're all wrapping our heads around it.)"
He points around the Saiyans' foreheads, trying to clue them in on his latest invention. "Well, we didn't get anything from—-not that it matters, I guess. Uh, H.E.R.B.I.E remembered that he got some of the spare power cells from that ship you three found weeks ago. It's not as good, but should be suitable."
Vingolf is our main headquarters on Earth. The SAU, on the other hand, is one of the four economic superpowers in charge of collectively governing Earth and its colonies.
The Calamity War did change quite a few things, after all. Still, glad to see you've made some progress.
Sir...? They swapped bodies?
Yes, they did, Julieta. Honestly, you should be used to this randomness by now.
Yeah, sorry, we're probably just more skeptical more than anything else.
"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."
"Only Four, Mr. Tapferin? An Amusing Development Of Your World's History," the small drone chirps out. "Are You Able To Enlighten Us On These Superpowers, Or Is It A Story For Another Time?"
Franklin pretends to be awake regarding the economics discussion, only to weasely add, "I'm pretty sure politics are a "hands off" topic, H.E.R.Bs. Don't want to ruin the mood with...'really long exposition'."
"Y'ah boy's—-." Having a little fun, Caulifla!Kale grabs a local knife to cut off Kinnikuman's pursuit of the juicy meat. With a devious smirk and glare, she finishes with, "—-got a point."
"Ummm, can we not do that?"
"Agreed. Miss Caulifla, No Roughhousing Around The Dining Table. That Goes Double For Any 'Eating Contests'."
Well, the reorganisation of Earth's governments did happen 300 years before my time, so you can forgive me if I can't remember all of the details. Not that it'll interest you two, anyway.
(Michael nods to the two body-swapped Saiyans with that remark.)
(shrugs) I usually just leave that stuff to Master Rustal, anyway.
Well, anyone would say that. Not everyone would be automatically okay with your physiology. It's a human thing.
"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."
"Noted, Mr. Tapferin. In Any Case, Thank You For The Available Knowledge."
"Thank Kami." Probably one of the few things Franklin and Caulifla!Kale could agree upon, no question asked. Meanwhile, Kale!Caulifla is more concerned about bringing over the prepared soup to the long table than a case about manners.
"I..I hope none of you are, you know, a-allergic to nuts...or something."" Kale!Caulifla replies before accidentally bowing ahead of time. "I'll go g-get the rest, heh." And she scoots off to the counter. At the same time, H.E.R.B.I.E happily labels the nutrition information of the plated foods.
"Heh, I'm just messin' with y'ah, Finhead." Even so, she devours the stolen slice whole. "And you're doing great, Keeru-san! When did y'ah learn to cook anyway?"
Thank you, Caulifla. I should be fine, as far as allergies are concerned.
(Julieta raises an eyebrow at H.E.R.B.I.E's latest antics) What are you doing?
Yeah... That may be true, but just be aware there may be some people here who won't appreciate your presence.

"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."
" 'Ey? Didn't say anythin' over here."
"S-sorry Michael, I'm K-Kale...in my boss's body. T-That's Sis...in my body."
"Oh, are we really doing this?" Franklin shakes his head in a way that would probably remind Michael of himself. "Hey, you know, I think the gauntlets have recalibrated to your bodies' natural energies. You wanna—-"
Caulifla!Kale's too busy trying fork down as much of the roast beef as she could, giving Franklin an "I'm busy, later" face.
"I Assisted Miss Kale With Cooking, Miss Caulifla and Kinnikuman. She Insisted On The Idea Of Making Some Of The Food From Scratch, While The Rest Will Arrive Through Delivery Soon." H.E.R.B.I.E beams, then answers Julieta's question. "Oh? Pardon If It Is Inconvenient For Your Pleasure, Ms. Juris. Miss Kale's Concerns Brought Up An Old Habit Of Mine."

Oh boy, I'm doin' one of 'em forced Slice of Life things. Carry on.
"Allow Me To Assist With The Cutlery, Ms. Kale," H.E.R.B.I.E said, assisting Kale!Caulifla with the onion cutting while the mind-swapped Saiyan nods passionately. Both of their hands were on the blade as they chopped through the veggie with ease. "Oh, you w-were right about the refridge..refrigera..'refrigeration' w-with the onions. M-my eyes aren't, um, watery. T-thank you."
Meanwhile, Franklin is focusing on two things: his tablet reading of the vital signs of the two warrior girls via their prototype headbands, and some guy over the phone trying to cater his order. "I know, I know, you're not the only place that's told me 'this is a large order, why is so last minute?' Yes, I'm going to pay for it (more ways than one). By tonight? Sure, thanks. "
"This Thanksgiving thang's pretty lit!" Caulifla!Kale kicks back on a chair, engrossing herself in the homestyle atmosphere. In her defense, she sat up the plates earlier.
