WEEK 2

[bathymetric]

So far, good news! You've managed to avoid killing! A week has passed in the facility, but how many more are there to go until one of you tries out Rule Seven? I mean.... we know, but.

No new areas just yet, it remains you guys and yours here for now. Well, and Angel, but again - you don't exactly see her unless you want to. It's more than a little lonely... maybe someone ought to shake things up.



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to Week 2, your first case week! Remember to turn in regains here, your AC for last week here, and if you like, come visit Angel's office hours here!

That's lucky. Can you even taste anything under the hot sauce, though?

[mouflon]

I mean... [ Apparently, she feels a little called out by that question, since she hesitates. ] They're just noodles, right? They're already pretty much a delivery device for whatever seasoning you want to put on them.

[precognit]

Oh, I never thought of it that way.

[Alice looks intrigued.] I'm used to thinking of noodles as a really good lo mein, or pasta carbonara. But if you're just eating crappy instant noodles, it makes more sense....No offense!

[mouflon]

[ Okay, one of those has too many syllables for Rin, but she can definitely talk lo mein. ]

I mean, don't get me wrong. I'd love a good traditional lo mein right now. The problem is that when I asked for that, what I got back was the fake Western kind. It's not bad if that's what you're expecting someone to hand you, but when you're looking forward to real Chinese food?

At least when you ask for plain noodles in cheap sauce, you know exactly what kind of trashy food you're getting.

[Alice considers all of this for a long moment...

...and then nods, laughing and giving Rin a smile.]

You're absolutely right! It's about expectations.
