I know this is small comfort right now, but for anyone tired of nutrition bars, there's cake in the cafeteria.

[For anyone headed to the cafeteria: there are actually about a bazillion cakes of different kinds. It's the Lambda+Katsuya special.]

[Aw yeah cake. She'll just be grabbing some for herself and maybe some for Aleph too, in that case.

Though the hard part is trying to decide which cake she should take, so April will just be staring at the collection in the cafeteria with a deeply thoughtful look.]

[withak]

Do you need some help?

[He's helpful!]

Action

[technologic]

Oh, um, yes please! Um... I want to get a bit of cake for myself and for someone else, but I'm not sure what to pick.

[withak]

What are your favorite flavors?

[technologic]

W-well, um... [Hold on she needs to think about this.] ... I like chocolate, strawberry, vanilla and mint...

[withak]

Vanilla cake topped with strawberries?

[technologic]

Oh, oh, that sounds really good! ... Which cake is it?

[withak]

I'll cut you a slice.

[He picks out the cake an a knife to slice some off.]

[technologic]

Ah, t-thank you. I'll, um, need a couple since I want to take some to someone too.

[withak]

As you wish.

[You get two slices then!]

[technologic]

Ah, thank you very much, um...? [She isn't gonna call you cake dude, dat rude.]

[withak]

Katsuya Suou. I don't believe we've met?

[technologic]

Nice to meet you, Katsuya, I'm April. And nope I don't think we have. [She gives him a friendly smile.]

... Did you, uh, make all these cakes yourself?

I'm only doing what I can to make life here a little easier until we can make real progress.

[withak]

Well, thank you very much.

[action because what is this network]

[ This is Break.

This is Break being the happiest man in the world. Don't mind if he just takes some for himself, right? Good, good. His sweet tooth is insatiable. He needs to know how someone found all the things to do this with and if they can find proper tea ingredients. ]

Goodness me--who is the delightful person responsible for this? I shall have to treat them to a cup of tea!

[action it is!]

[withak]

[A soft cough.] That would be me.

[yes good perma-action all day erryday]

[semantating]

[ AH, this man! Break wheels around and waves a floppy sleeve in his direction. Finished with his plate (yep, that fast!) it is then balanced happily on his head. ]

There is no need to be so very shy! This is a most generous contribution! Though I do wonder how you managed to find the things needed to make it. Or is that a sec-ret?

[perma-action~]

[withak]

It's not a secret at all - a woman named Lambdadelta generously created the ingredients for me to work with.

[semantating]

[ ... Created? Ss in from--oh my god, he has to make best friends with this person. ]

Miss Lambdadelta, you say... I shall have to properly express my gratitude to her at some point, then! She clearly deserves it, though I believe some of the praise certainly falls on the baker. Do you do this often, Mister...?

[ Your name, it would be nice, Katsuya. ]

[withak]

Katsuya Suou, and yes. I find that a proper cake can bring cheer even to dark places such as this.

[You, too, can become part of the threesome of cake.]

[semantating]

[ Have a cheery smile. ]

A pleasure to meet you, Mis-ter Kat-su-ya! ♥ I am Xerxes Break, a servant.

[ He happily flops over to where you are, now. ]

You will find cake will bring cheer to most places lacking a proper pâtisserie! Such a shame it is, indeed; had I the means, I would be more than happy to provide tea, myself. I shall have to meet your most generous benefactor, Mis-ter Katsuya. She sounds like a delightful woman who quite enjoys the sweeter things in life.

[withak]

She is a good friend of mine, and if I have the opportunity, I will introduce her to you.

[Thank goodness he doesn't know any of her castmates.]
