[ He's looking down at first. ]

4/1/UNKNOWN YEAR
6:31 PM: Nutrition bars are the only thing on the menu. They don't taste very good.

[ ... He sighs in annoyance. ]

H-Hey, um... does anyone know how to make these things taste better? Or how to cook them into something else?

[starofpleiades]

Th, there really isn't, unless you get something else to add to them...

[She's tried. SO HARD...]

[ video ]

[deusexyandere]

Like what? I haven't seen any chocolate syrup...

[ Glancing down at his Diary again. Wait for it... wait for it...

... nope, no future change. Damn it. There goes that idea. ]

[starofpleiades]

Unless you saved anything from last month, you pretty much have to find something in the tower. Like, there's berries in the forest area.

[deusexyandere]

[ Well, that's a start... ]

Most of my food from my gift basket was lost in that big flood.

etc

[starofpleiades]

Oh no... I'm sorry to hear that! I have some things from last month saved but it's mostly cooking stuff like flour and sugar... we'd still need to get things like fruits or meat anyway.

At least the nutrition bars are, um, nutritious? Not like the one time they didn't give us anything...

[deusexyandere]

I don't think Yuno would let me go to the forest floor, at least not alone. But I can try to get some stuff from there. I-I can't eat noting but nutribars for a month straight!

[starofpleiades]

Yeah, it's pretty innocent seeming, but that could drive someone nuts as much as anything here!

And I do recommend bringing someone who can fight. Without magic or those kinds of powers - they don't work there. Even if a monster doesn't show up, the boars can be pretty big!

[deusexyandere]

I guess it's worth a try, then.

[starofpleiades]

Yeah, I mean... you just have to be careful! Having good food goes a long way to helping you get through the day.

[deusexyandere]

Yeah. And it's been a while since Yuno and I made something just for us.

Okay. I'll do it!

[starofpleiades]

Mm, making a meal together can be a great experience. Yuno's your friend?

[deusexyandere]

She's my girlfriend.

[starofpleiades]

Ah, that's great! Eheh... it's nice that you two still get to be together.

[deusexyandere]

Yeah. It is.

[ He does genuinely love her, after everything they've been through together. Her being here makes all of the difference. ]

[starofpleiades]

It's hard enough being apart from my friends, so if I had a boyfriend and was separated, that's really be the worst! I'm glad you two can be there for each other, especially when it can be so harsh here...

[deusexyandere]

Yeah... me too.

[ They've become mutually dependent on one another, he'd be the first to admit that. If she wasn't here, he'd be living in complete terror here. If he wasn't here... everyone else would. ]

[starofpleiades]

Heh... well, if you get anything together and want any help cooking, you can always talk to me! I'm always happy to give lessons, or at the least show you where I've put most of the stuff in the kitchen on floor 60! Because of the nutrition bars, the cafteria kitchen's pretty much empty this month.

[deusexyandere]

[ His expression falls a bit. ]

I'll mention it to Yuno, but, um... [ ... please, tell him this isn't another Tohko... ] ... she usually just wants to spend time with me.

[ The 'alone' goes unspoken. ]

[starofpleiades]

Hmm? Okay, well, maybe I can just show you some things and you can surprise her? Actually, I guess I should ask first, do you have much practice cooking already?

[deusexyandere]

That might actually be worse. [ Tohko didn't think Yuno would find out, either. Except she has stalking down to a science. He doubts most professional spies are as good as she is. ]

I'm not the best cook ever...

[starofpleiades]

Eh? [ DOESN'T GET IT ]

I guess during a month like this, it just matters that it's edible, but wouldn't you like some help making it as delicious as possible? Since it's for your girlfriend! Oh, or does she cook?

[deusexyandere]

Well, I wouldn't mind some advice, b-but...

[ He nods. ] Yuno's one of the best cooks I know.

[starofpleiades]

Oh, well that's good then! I guess she's probably got it covered then.

If she's a good cook, then I'd love to meet her sometime.

[deusexyandere]

Try not to talk about me too much if you do, okay? [ The 'or she'll get the wrong idea' goes unspoken. ]

[starofpleiades]

Eh? Um, okay...? [Well, it's not like she'd be able to say much about him his girlfriend doesn't know, so sure?]

What does she look like? In case I meet her.
