[Walks into the barn and... sniff, sniff sniff]

I smell meat...?

[pleasantmisery]

Oh! I wonder if--

[hurrying to check out the kitchen]

--Yes! Meat prize!

[wants_the_phd]

[Following her]

We got meat?

[strateelgic]

[Just straight up collapses from hunger a few steps into the barn.]

[pleasantmisery]

[SHIT

catching him before he can hit the floor, setting him down carefully]

Pond Fiend??

[pleasantmisery]

Yep! Looks like a rack of lamb? It's happened before but not for a while... We should celebrate!

[strateelgic]

[Oof. Dizzy. Thank you.]

Haah... Seems I was so angry I forgot to eat this morning.

Goodness, this hasn't happened in a while.

[wants_the_phd]

[After chant catches him]

You good?

[pleasantmisery]

Well, you ARE a growing boy. Eel? Eel boy. Um, why don't you sit down somewhere more comfortable than the floor and I'll get you something to eat. Oh, and it looks like we got a nice rack of lamb from that game, so we can cook that up for a nice dinner, too!

[strateelgic]

Absolutely not.

But physically I'll be better off after I've eaten.

[strateelgic]

Yes. Right.

[But moving involves standing again. He works on it anyway, shakily pushing himself back up onto his feet. There's still one important matter they need to deal with here, and that's...

Can any of the others even cook lamb?]

[pleasantmisery]

[a salient question. Shadow Fiend will help him up, though she intends to help him to the couch...but if he heads for the kitchen she will follow him there]

[finalbows]

_{[ curiously, the kitchen's become immaculate since the last time shadow fiend, et al were here. ]}

[catposting]

[ after Shadow Fiend and Azdaja do their thing. assuming he's gonna eat a bit here first ]

If you're still hungry later and don't feel like cooking yourself, Biscuit was planning on a stress dinner over at Daffodil. You're welcome to go over, I already asked.

Figured you'd like his cooking more than ours.

[strateelgic]

[He'll sit on the couch... temporarily.]

...Who else cooks aside from me?

[pleasantmisery]

I do! Sometimes. If I have a fire going and I feel like it. Or sometimes I use the magic stove in the kitchen.

[pleasantmisery]

[well...that's weird, but now that they've got a lock she's less concerned about it being indicative of someone maybe breaking into the barn. maybe someone was in the mood to clean??]

[strateelgic]

[The offer of more food is very, very tempting... but the merman isn't looking for further company today. He only knows some of Daffodil. Were he in a better mood he'd be thrilled to make himself a nuisance in their barn, but right now he can only imagine things being awkward.

He shakes his head.]

I appreciate you looking out for me, but I would rather stay here. If I continue to be hungry I can go to the lake.

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ Sometime late in the night after Bluebell's explosion, after being showered, washed, and cleaned up.

. . . knock knock knock. ]

[wants_the_phd]

Did something happen?

[pleasantmisery]

[getting the door]

Hello! What can we do for you?

[wants_the_phd]

[Leaning to peek around Chant to see who it is]

[heavyliesthecrown]

Congratulations on Rose's win, Miss Shadow Fiend.

[ Politely with a small bow. ]

I was hoping that I might see Akuki-senpai or Pond Fiend-san if they are available.

[wants_the_phd]

[Oh dang sometimes winning equals rare meats?? This is motivating information]

Yes, Let's! It looks like there's enough for everyone, too.

Cut me off a piece?
