Rebel 22 [Voice/Action] Forward-dated to late evening

[not_meatbuns]

[It's been a very long day. Litchi has been up since before dawn, tending to patients, straightening up the clinic, helping lost little boys, and overall working herself half to death. Only she's looking a ton more energetic than usual, and even as she's leaving the clinic for the night, she's still upbeat and smiling and cheerful.

No, she hasn't gotten into the drugs. Just before heading out to walk home, she'll open up her journal for a quick message.]

Well, it's certainly about time things returned to normal, don't you think? I've had more than enough excitement for quite some time.

Mr. Goroh, David, Miss Yayoi... make sure you're all home within an hour or so, okay? Just because Tao isn't home to eat all your food right now doesn't mean you can be late for dinner. I should be home soon; it won't take long to get back from the grocery store.

[[ooc: AU info this-a-way~ :D

Also feel free to run into her anywhere in the plaza or on her way back to her house. ♥ Or... well, in the house, for her housemates.]]

I'll be there when I finish my patrol, Dr. Faye-Ling.

[Voice]

[not_meatbuns]

[Pause. Did he... seriously just call her "Dr. Faye-Ling"? Ego boost much?

That really shouldn't make her smile like this. He's bound to be buttering her up for something. Still, she'll play along for now.]

Now, now, Mr. Goroh. Don't keep me waiting~

[Voice]

[hageshii]

Sorry, doctor. I have to keep to my schedule. I'll be there at 8:15 sharp.

[Voice]

[not_meatbuns]

[Okay, now she's getting a little confused. Goroh? Being so serious?]

A-ah... if... you insist.

[Small pause. She's getting a little worried.]

...Mr. Goroh, are you feeling alright?

[Voice]

[hageshii]

I feel perfectly fine. But if you think there might be a problem, I'd be willing to take time off for an appointment at the clinic, tomorrow morning.

[Well, Yellow 13 is home on time as usual. However, tonight, he is carrying himself more confidently than normal. He's felt very at ease all day today, and despite some very strange goings on in the village... people not being quite who he remembered, he's tried not to let it get to him. More like, he's not thinking about it. Either way, he heard Litchi's message and decided to be helpful.

When Litchi comes in, he's probably in the middle of setting the table.]

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

[Litchi gets home roughly a half hour after her message, arms full with groceries to make dinner. She gently nudges the door shut with her hip and pauses, casting a surprised glance in Thirteen's direction.

There are some things you will never come home to, living with only Tao. This is one of them.]

David... thank you. This is such a nice surprise...!

[Action]

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

[He looks up when he hears the door open. Have a smile, Litchi.]

You're welcome, but it's really nothing.

[He's going to walk over to her and take one of the bags of groceries out of her arms. No, she doesn't get a say in the matter. He'll help take that into the kitchen.]

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

[She stands there for a moment, just a little surprised, before following along into the kitchen. It's terrible of her to think it, but she's almost irritated that Community Building 2 is fixed now. She might lose all this help.]

Still, you'll spoil me rotten at this rate~

[She smiles over at him, setting her own bag on the counter.]

I hope some salad and cold soup will be alright? Even with the rain, it's still awfully hot outside...

[Action]

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

Of course it is. What can I do to help?

[He's not doing anything else, and he'd rather be doing something rather than sitting around watching Litchi cook. It'd feel lazy, and Litchi's been very hospitable.]

[Voice] Placeholder for later. \o

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

[TSUBAKI? PANDA LA--ER, MISS LITCHI? INTEREST PINGED.]

What were you making, Miss Litchi?

[Voice] Aye-aye!

[not_meatbuns]

Nothing terribly complex. With the heat the way it's been, I was just going to make some salad and cold soup.

You're certainly invited if you'd like any, though. [Plus, she knows what you want. Just go ahead and ask.]

[Voice]

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

Are you sure? I wouldn't want to impose. [...She'll ask later.]

[Voice]

[not_meatbuns]

You'd hardly be imposing. There'll be more than enough food for everyone, after all.

[You know you want delicious food. And then panda plushies.]

[Voice]

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'll come over in a while, then, if that's fine. [Not only that, but it's been some time since she's last seen Tsubaki. She wants to see how her friend is doing.]

[ voice ]

[idkmybffroy.livejournal.com]

I couldn't agree more. Aa, how has anyone managed to survive for more than two years in a place so hectic?

[ voice ]

[not_meatbuns]

It's a mystery to me as well... Hopefully, we'll all get to go home soon enough.

[ voice ]

[idkmybffroy.livejournal.com]

Just a matter of time, I'm sure. At least we all know that a little bit of patience never caused any harm.

[ voice ]

[not_meatbuns]

Of course, of course~ The best we can do is just be patient for now.

[Even though she really misses home. Alas.]

[ voice ]

[idkmybffroy.livejournal.com]

Very true!

How did you fare during our unexpected series of disasters, Miss Faye-Ling?

[DINNER HERE]

[not_meatbuns]

[There is soup and salad. Tons of it. COME AND EAT IT.]

[hageshii]

[Goroh, ever timely, is the first to arrive for dinner, sitting at the table and waiting for everyone else to arrive. He's younger and without his hat and sunglasses. What is this!?]

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

[Well, Thirteen won't be far behind Goroh, considering he helped prepare dinner. But then again, he'll do a double-take at Goroh... not wearing sunglasses. Or hat. What. Either way, he'll take a seat across from him.]

...Goroh?

[hageshii]

[He diverts his attention to Yellow.]

Something you need, David? [Not DAVE.]

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

[...That's different. He really is talking more formally. But that's a small detail. Goroh's build is different; thinner, trimmer. Also... well.]

Not really. Just surprised you're not wearing your sunglasses.
