DODO CABIN CATCHALL

[gluttoning]

If we lose any dodos, I'll make a new PC! Unless I'm the lost dodo in which case y'all are on your own.

WEEK 2, POST TRIAL

[gluttoning]

[How we doin, dodos.

Beelzebub goes straight from the sandbar to their cabana and can be sitting out on the hammock end of things with a few bags of snacks from the gift shop, though he's picking at them a little more lethargically than usual. He'll wave if someone comes through the door, but otherwise is staying to himself.

Threadjack as needed!]

threadjacking welcome!

[plunges]

[ Xiao does not return to the dorm until later in the evening. Like, past 9pm later.

When he comes back, there's food. It smells...decent. Perhaps it won't be the tastiest thing the Dodos have ever had, but an effort was made. They are meat-filled potato rolls that Xiao tried to make himself, thanks to Zelkov's instruction!

He brings them over and sets them on one of the dressers, one for everyone to take. He'll go ahead and hand Beel one personally, though. ]

[gluttoning]

[...Oh.

He takes it in silence, looking at the meal, then looking at Xiao.]

You made these?

[plunges]

Yes.

[ He looks awkward when he admits to it. ]

I...tried.

[gluttoning]

It smells okay, though.

[Slipping about half of it into his mouth to test it out, and he just kind of nods his way through the flavors. Eh, he's had worse, this is edible.]

Do you not usually cook?

[plunges]

I have on occasion. I...used to see it as a waste of time.

[ He doesn't often eat like mortals do. ]

Zelkov taught me earlier this week.

[ He doesn't say that he learned for the cabin, though. ]

threadjacking welcome as well

[stilllovesyou]

[Nona sits down and gently strokes Noodle's fur as he sleeps peacefully. It's hard to read her expression. She doesn't quite look... sad, so much as guilty and blank.]

Is it better this way?

[She's not sure.]

I voted for myself.

[gluttoning]

[There's not much way to answer the first one when there isn't a good answer, but her second statement surprises him.]

Eh?

Nona, why would you do that?

[stilllovesyou]

[She shrugs, rather a bit like a sullen child.]

I didn't want to play.

[gluttoning]

...

Were you okay if something bad had happened to you because of that?

[stilllovesyou]

Nothing would have happened.

But I'd prefer it to be on my own terms, I suppose.

[plunges]

[ Did she, now. Oh, Nona... ]

I can't answer that. I don't know if it is.

[ And that's the truth. ]

You are abstaining, then. ... I understand.

[stilllovesyou]

Mm.

I hate this game.

[plunges]

I know.

[ He does, too. ]

Are you hungry? You should have something, even if you only want a few bites.

[stilllovesyou]

I don't want to eat anything, but I guess I'll take the pizza and the rolls.

[She'll probably go give them to Sonya later, but she will take them.]

[dakicover]

[ crea is also not coming in until later, but, much like xiao, he's also bringing food. he may have, in fact, asked for a tray of pizza to bring, which he'll set next to xiao's rolls.

and after he does he will fall face first on the bed, with a drawn-out sigh. ]

This sucked.

[plunges]

[ Oh, mood, Crea. ]

It was difficult.

[ He looks like he's about to get a headache any second, now. He'll look at the pizza, though, and ask: ]

Have you eaten yet, Crea?

[dakicover]

....

[ he lifts his head from the mattress to look at xiao, and then at the pizza that he brought. ]

I thought you guys would wanna eat first. I don't really know if I have an appetite right now.

[plunges]

Hmm. Fine, I will take something first.

[ He'll help himself to a pizza slice, since Crea brought that over for them. He can't say he's ever had pizza before. ]

Did you prepare this yourself? Or was this already available in the buffet?

[gluttoning]

[Just crossing over to sit on the edge of the bed and pat-pats Crea on the back of the shoulder.]

Yeah.

I wonder what they're planning to do with Sonya.

[dakicover]

They said that they needed two sacrifices, didn't they?

[ crea turns around to lay down on his back, his expression clouded. he looks tired. ]

They said we gotta see 'em tomorrow, so maybe it'll have to do something with that. Sacrificing Sonya.

[gluttoning]

They don't need our involvement at this point. They got their second.

[And yet, that didn't mean much, given the rules had changed before.]

I just hope it's not more spectacle.

[stilllovesyou]

Do you want a hug?

[That's all Nona can offer.]

[dakicover]

A hug?

[ crea turns his head slightly towards her.

he smiles, but it lacks any of the pep it usuall contains. ]

I feel like I should be the one asking you the same.

[ he really wants a hug. ]

[stilllovesyou]

I don't mind asking.

[She steps forward and wraps her arms around him, because she can tell that he wants one. She's a lot smaller than him.]

I want a hug too anyway.
