[A rather young looking redhead appears on the screen, looking extremely annoyed. Well, he's usually annoyed, but people watching most likely don't know that because he's new to the tower, assuming the people here are strangers. ]

"So...they bring us here and tell us our world has been destroyed and saved us. Yeah, okay, maybe that's a possibility... (after all, hadn't Mikoto-san's power been going out of control when he and that shitty monkey had been fighting the Black Dog? Not even he couldn't deny it then. Had Mikoto-san actually...done it?) So what the hell do the people in this tower want with us?"

[He's talking very excitedly, and here he pauses to take a much needed breath

"How can we be sure it isn't the people of the Tower who destroyed our world? He bites his lip here, not wanting to admit that it was probably actually his hero that destroyed his world in his particular case) Yeah, I'm pretty sure some of you already wondered that. But I just got here and I want to know what the people already living here think..."

Comments

"That's exactly what I'll do! I won't let Mikoto-san down! I'll show this place what it means to be in HOMRA!"

[He's too bus beaming with pride to exactly explain who Mikoto-san and Homra are, respectively, even though he's aware that the lady he's talking to won't know.]

"O-oh, sorry...you don't know who they are? I can tell you if you life, but this doesn't seem to be the best type of place to have a friendly chat about worlds...but I'm up for it you want to!"

[snowdriftassassin]

[Xue couldn't help but laugh sincerely at his attitude and his enthusiasm. She really liked it, it was the sort of attitude that she wished wouldn't be drained out of him during his stay here.]

Tis alrite mon, I actually would like ta be knowin' more 'bout joo, joor world and dis Homra ting ya mention as well as yer friend?

[She didn't want to assume who exactly this Mikoto was to him.]

But joo be partially correct, sometimes it be best ta speak in person dan on dis network.

If ya be havin' time an' wana chat, jus' lemme know an' we can be meetin' somewhere ta chat.

[misakiyata]

[He seems to appreciate the fact she's being rather nice and taking an interest in him. He's used to being either ignored, treated as errand boy, or constantly overestimated. HOMRA fixed that...until it fell apart. It was nice to see to someone curious about him and him alone.]

"It'd be nice if we could meet somewhere to chat. Where do you suggest? I don' really know the lay out of this buliding..."

[snowdriftassassin]

Well, da cafeteria and da dorm floors be da safest, so if dat be workin' for joo, we can make our way ovah der an' talk.

[She had other preferred floors, but right now she wanted to keep things simple since he was new.]

[misakiyata]

Do you want to meet now or later? I'd prefer somewhere we can at least sit down.

[He gives her a a grin]

Just tell me where you'd like to meet

[snowdriftassassin]

Hmm, how's 'bout we be meetin' at da cafeteria den cutie?

In 'bout an hour I be sayin'? Should be enough time.

[She winked and smiled, visibly grabbing a few items as she got ready to head out.]

[misakiyata]

Sounds good to me!

[He's too excited at the ideo of talking about HOMRA and Mikoto he doesn't notice her wink or the fact she called him cutie. If he had, he probably would have started blushing and stuttering. But he doesn't notice and he's wondering how the hell to pass an hour.]

-> Action

[snowdriftassassin]

[Xue would have gotten there early. She hadn't eaten just yet and she figured she'd cook something for herself and her soon to arrive guest. She usually tended to eat what she hunted. Nice, thick slabs of meat with some fried vegetables. Drinks were usually juice she prepared herself, being a rogue made you cautious of what the owners 'provided' anyways.

She was sitting at the table with her own plate, already eating idly, while another was sitting in front of her, covered so nothing can fall in it.]

[misakiyata]

[He arrives in the cafeteria a few moments after she sits down with the plates. He has no problem finding her, since she's rather unique. He notices the plate first thing.]

Is that for me? It smells good. I'm hungry...all I've had since I've been here is watery oatmeal

[snowdriftassassin]

[Xue laughs and nods.]

Ya mon, figured jood be wantin' someting nice aftah da oatmeal. It be a necessiry, even if it be tastin' dreadful.

[Of course she's had worse meals in her time out on the battlefield.]

[misakiyata]

It probably wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't watery.

[He uncovers the plate slowly to reveal a homecooked dish that smelled really good to him. It was clearly something she'd made herself.]

This looks great! What do you call this? Something you made yourself should have a name...

[He doesn't yet tell her that cooking has a special meaning to him. That would fall under telling her about his world.]

[snowdriftassassin]

[Xue smiled warmly.]

S'called a warm meal mon, dat be it. [She joked back.]

Can't say I've named it, haven't thot 'bout it really. With all dat be goin' round here, guess it be slippin' my mind.

But I be glad ya seem pleased wit it, and I be hopin' ya like it.

[misakiyata]

[Yata's the type that's lived on food like cheap ramen and other quickly prepared, low cost items like that, so the food is pretty good to him. He isn't exactly the picky sort, either.]

It's delicious! I used to have a friend that cooked for me and everyone at home...I learned most everything I know about cooking from him...he used to go on about the importance of the little things, like the dish's name...

[snowyvalemaiden]

Aye, I can see how dat be important. I have ta admit, dis place kind of makes ya miss simple tings. So maybe I be startin' ta name m' dishes hm?

[She grins.]

In honor of our friendship, Xue be lettin' ya name dis dish den.

[misakiyata]

...Oh your name is Xue? That's pretty! I'm Yata Misaki, also known as Yatagarasu, or just Yata! I'd prefer you calling me Yata.

[He pauses and returns her grin here.]

...And I think I'll name it...Xue Stew!

[snowdriftassassin]

Aye, dat it be! Well, it really be Xue'Kol, but most jus' be callin' me Xue so dat works!

Yata eh? I be likin' it, it has spunk ta it. Which I be tinkin' it be fittin' since ya be havin' a fiery spirit, I can tell.

[At the naming of the dish she chuckled and grinned.]

Xue Stew hm? Dat works! Xue Stew it be den.

[misakiyata]

[A fiery spirit, eh? She honestly had no idea how accurate that was.]

It's pretty good. I hope you remember how to make it.

[snowdriftassassin]

A'course I be rememberin' mon, wat ya be takin' me for? A quillboar?

[She laughed and shook her head.]

I be makin' sure I keep ya in mind when I be cookin' in case ya show up again. I dun be mindin' sharin' my hunts and meals with dose dat be appreciatin' it.

[misakiyata]

Good. And...er...what's quillboar? Something from your world? And please do! I really appreciate home cooked meals

[snowdriftassassin]

A quillboar be one a' da races from my world, yes. Dey be dense an' nawt too smart mon. Dey be da kind ta beat der heads against a wall until it moves or dey be knocked unconscious.

[Xue smiles.]

Alrite den, deal. I be makin' sure ya git a nice warm meal when I be makin' dem.

[misakiyata]

...Your workd sounds pretty interesting. Oh, that's right. We met here so we would talk about our respective worlds.

[He chuckles.]

So, who goes first?

[snowdriftassassin]

It be, yeah. [She laughed.]

An' I be tinkin' dat my meal allows me to listen to joo first eh mon?

[misakiyata]

Alright...so what do you wanna hear about first?

[snowdriftassassin]

Well now, hmm... [Xue taps her chin playfully before smiling.]

Joo been mentionin' dis Homra, and someone special to joo? How 'bout we be startin' der mon?

[misakiyata]

[Yata seems to be bursting with pride at the mention of HOMRA.]

Homra is my clan. We serve the Red King. That's Mikoto-san. We all have pretty cool powers, too.
