Kitchen (Survivor Aichi)
-OK, just focus on getting that meal done...-
-He's a tad rusty still when it comes to properly cooking, but he's starting to get back up to snuff.-
-He's making something relatively simple, but it's still better than what he's usually been making during his time here.-
-He really is trying to get into the habit of eating proper food here.-
-He won't be able to have this back home... So he needs to take advantage of his time here.-
-...Although it's a little... strange.-
-It feels like he hasn't really cooked properly in years...-
-Granted his life has only been screwed up for a few months...-
-...But to him it feels like it's been a very long time.-
-But still, he's keeping at it, trying not to let the knowledge that someone is behind him make him tense up.-
-...Although he doesn't seem to be succeeding too well. Knowing that something is behind him still sets him on edge.-
-He finally ends up turning to see just who or what is behind him...-
-...And it's Xenos.-
-Aichi's still not really sure how to... well, feel about him. Xenos has committed genocide so many times, and doesn't seem to feel remorse for it at all.-
-But at the same time Aichi can't help but pity him, knowing what he knows about Xenos's history.-
-And Xenos can range from being a massive jerk giving him a meltdown to actually being a surprisingly nice and helpful guy.-
-Aichi can't forgive the killing of so many people, but he knows that there's nothing he can do about it...-
-Xenos is obviously an extremely powerful being, and while Aichi can get very emotional and boost his power he still can't guarantee that would be enough.-
-He doesn't want to just jump into a fight either. Xenos seems content just chilling here... He is not actively causing any harm.-
-...But once again, if Xenos does ANYTHING where Aichi can see it...-
-...Then Aichi will step in without hesitation.-
"...Hello."
-He's still working on that food without looking.-

Roof (Ai)
-She's been up here thinking for a while, while looking through her deck...-
-Xenos said that an Aichi had been kidnapped...-
-...But... it couldn't be the Aichi. The one that she has that inexplicable bond with.-
-The one she can legitimately consider her twin brother.-
-It's not him. Sthesia and Misaki would have told her. Aichi's just busy at work, like they said.-
-That's all.-
-She sighs and looks around a bit...-
-...?-
-...Ah! Leos!-
-She feels herself blushing now. She didn't even notice that Leos was up here...!-
"H-Hello, Leos...!"
-She tries to speak up with a small smile... although it might be easy to tell that she's been up here thinking about things.-
-...That seems to be an Aichi thing. Retreating up to the Roof to think.-
Kitchen (Survivor Aichi)
-He has had to stay alert at all times for so long that he can almost always tell if there's something behind him now.-
"Yeah, I'm trying to get back into the habit..."
-He looks back to what he's cooking, and simply continues.-
"...It's strange. It feels like I haven't done this in years..."
-...Even though he's been practicing here for the last several days.-
-Not to mention that the zombie apocalypse hasn't even been going on for a year.-
Kitchen (Survivor Aichi)
-...Yeah. That sounds about right...-
-He nods while focusing on finishing up the meal.-
"...Hopefully I'll be able to make a decent meal again..."
-He was never great at cooking, but he got to the point that he was able to cook about as well as any random person.-
"I've been out of practice..."
-For obvious reasons.-
Kitchen (Survivor Aichi)
-Aichi just has to keep getting back into the swing of things...-
-...Although he'll be stuck unable to cook like this once he gets back home.-
-So he'll end up losing his skill to cook again.-
"I'll get back to that point..."
-To the point of cooking in a half-decent manner!-
-...Oh, looks like the food is about ready...-
-...-
-...He needs to let it cool first...-
-He turns to face Xenos now that he's done fixing up the food.-
"...What about you? What have you been doing?"
Kitchen (Survivor Aichi)
-He helped a someone out of a tree...?-
-...Sounds like a rather, erm... rough way of going about it...-
"...Were they all right?"
-Being knocked out of a tree would be pretty painful, he thinks...-
—
Roof (Ai)
-Leos's smile honestly makes her feel a bit better... and makes her blush more.-
-She finds herself looking away from him, struggling to keep eye contact.-
-Even if Leos does make her feel a bit better, she still can't help but be very worried...-
"...Y-Yeah, I've been fine..."
-...Leos, she's as bad at hiding that something's bothering her as Aichi is.-

-Aichi can't help but raise a brow.-
"'Nonexistent sword'...?"
-Does he mean that the person expected a sword to be there, but it got misplaced? Or did the person somehow literally pull out a nonexistent sword?-
-Because let's face it. This place is so weird that something that is nonexistent could exist despite reality and logic denying that as being possible.-
—
Roof (Ai)
-Ack, he can see right through her...!-
"...I-It was just..."
-...-
"...I've been worried about him... A-Aichi, I mean..."
-It's still weird for her to call someone else by her name... especially when it's another her.-
"S-Sthesia and Misaki said he's been busy at work... That he was called to stay for some reason..."
-...You can hear that she's not exactly certain about that, Leos...-
"...B-But I... I've been having this bad feeling for a long time now... That something really bad has happened..."
-She looks back up at Leos, and he can see that she's got a definite look of uncertainty.-
"...A-And I heard that another me has been kidnapped... I-It..."
-A bit of a tense silence as she tries to get herself to finally ask.-
"...I-It wasn't him... was it...?"
Main Room
(Lili is wearing a maid's outfit) Stupid bet. Why do I have to wear this dumb outfit?
(Pan's busy stifling her laughter.)
What are you looking at?
Nothing...
Good. Pretend you didn't see this at all. (heads upstairs to serve breakfast in bed.)

-...Aichi can't blame the person for not being happy about Xenos's... "reputation". At all.-
-Aichi took offense to it also, but he wasn't prepared for a fight at the point he learned of it.-
-However, he chooses to remain silent about this and instead looks towards the food he had prepared.-
"..."
-...Seems like it might be cool enough now.-
"...Would you like some of this? I made plenty."
-...Some kind of soup?-
-Nothing particularly spectacular.-

Oh, nah- I'm al right.
I already had this pizza.
-Kiko meanwhile, drops down from the rafters, hanging by her arms briefly so that she has a soft landing-
-right behind Pan- Ohhh? I didn't know there was maid service here...!~
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this postKitchen (Survivor Aichi)
-All right. Aichi just thought he should offer.-
-He gets a bowl prepared and sits at the table with it.-
-He's looking at the bowl, silently hoping that he might have actually made it decently.-
"Is pizza your favorite food?"
-Seems like Xenos really loves it. This isn't the first time Aichi's seen him doing things involving pizza or pizza boxes.-

"New one every day..."
