7th Castle: Homesick! [Video]

[heartboop]

Hey, guys.

[Nora is sitting in a restaurant, nursing the largest parfait ever. She looks too down to even enjoy it. All she's doing it moving up the bits that are melting and sliding down before putting some into her mouth. Boredly. With one hand holding up her head with the elbow on the table.]

For the first time ever, I'm homesick. I thought a parfait would help, but... [She just looks at it and sighs.] Nope. So anyone wanna help me eat it?

[aurabble]

Hey, Nora.

Do you think there's enough for me to eat some?

[Video]

[heartboop]

[Takes a long look at the bucket parfait, then back to Jaune.]

I could probably feed half the city. Better come quick, or it'll get room tempurature.

[Video --> Action]

[aurabble]

I'd still eat it.

[He thinks he recognizes the restaurant, so after getting lost several times he finally walks in. He managed to replace his Pumpkin Pete's hoodie with a replica that isn't ruined and fits him better. He spots Nora--and the parfait which might be hiding Nora with its size--and walks over.

He can't help but to stare in awe. All that food... And he only has to share with Nora.]

Whoa. All that walking made me hungry!

[Action]

[heartboop]

[As a food blogger, Nora should've known to give the location of the restaurant she was in. Well, she just wasn't thinking. Good thing Jaune is so good with figuring things out! That's what makes a team leader!

Nora has to peek around the parfait when she hears his voice after he sits down. It's like he just appeared out of thin air! By the time he arrived, at least one layer is gone from the treat. She's eating rather slowly...]

Then we can finish in no time! [She hands him a spoon with a longer handle than normal spoons. Probably for more reach.] It looked smaller in the picture.

In response

[imukurofenrir]

After the acceptance of her own state of mind, let alone a room mate to keep her grounded, she found it odd that the only patron sitting out was a far to vibrantly colored girl to be frowning at such an elaborate order.

"Hey, you're the one from the video, homesickness isn't it?" She said bluntly, taking a seat. "At least you had a home, There are people here who don't remember, or don't want to remember their... 'home'." She stated bluntly walking over toward the table

"Those kinds of thoughts hinder a persons abilities." The stoic solider explained, looking at the practically brimming vat of cream and garnishes, sticking a finger down and digging up a kiwi slice and popping it in her mouth.

"If anything, I suppose I owe you my time and advice. Last time I had kiwi was in some rum in Russia back on my 15th birthday." She said with a gulp, staring intently into the droopy looking ginger haired woman's eyes.

[heartboop]

Nora looked up at the woman, watching her sit and speak. Way to make the mood even darker. Guilt over her video started to fill up the space in her stomach, and losing her appetite. Not an easy feat to do.

"...when you put it that way..." She hoped that no one else felt bad by what she said. Nora drew idle shapes with the handle of her spoon lightly on the table. "But I've never really had much of a home. Just a world with people I care for. Most of them are here anyway, except a few."

At the mention of kiwi and rum, Nora crinkled her face in disgust at the combination. "Who would want to put kiwi in there?"

[imukurofenrir]

Mukuro chuckled with a smile. "Blame my battalion mates, I saw them drink vodka and cherry juice and whisky with raw shallots... but thats beside the point." She sighed shaking her head.

"So, if the people you care for are your home away from home, what home is there to go back to? A homeworld? You yourself said that most the people here you care for and vice versa are allready here... and the few that arent?" She replied shaking her head tsking. "Considering the way this is going they will be here sooner than you think." Mukuro mumbled swiping another kiwi and downing it. "I really should get a spoon for this shouldn't I?"

That....is big. [The faunus blinks for a moment, taking in this monument to fruit and dairy.]

It has been a while sense I've had something sweet.

[heartboop]

It's called "The Endless Wonder", because it's a wonder that it never ends while you eat it. [Nora took a spoonful after explaining. Once her mouth is clear, she speaks again.] Better come down before it's too late. Don't pass up free sweets.

[Blake was more worried about Nora than the mountain of fruit and whipped cream, but she would eat some if it would help lighten the smaller girl's mood. Though it was hard to imagine Nora less than energetic and cheery.

The faunus finally spied where the girl was sitting. Blake sat down and set her cup of chai down.]

Were you really going to try and down that monster?

[No wonder Ren hid the syrup.]

[gamerrep]

I'm sorry that you feel homesick. That feeling is always awful.

[And more so in her case now she knows her future.]

It might not help but I also get the feeling of being homesick, not sure if it makes one want friends and such to come here or just makes you want to go home though.

video;

[heartboop]

I definitely would want my friends here than there. Things seem a little...tough back home. But at least together we stand some sort of chance.

[A pause.]

It's complicated.

Are you still homesick?

video;

[gamerrep]

Of course, but I at least know I could never go home.

[As sad as that made her, it was a thing she knew.]

But I hope you have your friends here.

[gastronomics]

Where's that from?

[ Why would someone make something so big... ]

video;

[heartboop]

[Because they know that people like Nora exist. But mostly as a challenge: if they can't finish it in two hours, they have to pay.]

Some restaurant in Genessia City.

[Probably not the answer she was looking for...]

video;

[gastronomics]

[ Hmph. ]

Not important enough to learn their name I guess if that's the best they have to offer anyway.

[nrgsvr]

[ He figures Nora being unable to finish that huge parfait is a sign that something is really wrong.]

I'll help.

[heartboop]

Really? It might look bad if both of us eat together.

video

[nrgsvr]

It would? Why?

[ He is dense.]

[beauty_burns_gold]

Hey Nora.

[Yang's popping up on the screen, from the looks of it she's lying on her bed in the house.]

That's practically the size of your torso. You sure you were able to eat all that?

[She knew Nora had quite the sweet tooth, but still...]

[Video]

[heartboop]

Hey, Yang.

[Nora gives a nod at the question.] Eventually.I'm just being slow.

Re: [Video]

[beauty_burns_gold]

Slow? You?

[That's something she doesn't hear everyda...anyda...at all.]

You...want me to come by and give you a hand? Or a spoon?

[Or talk?]

...Wanna see if we can find a bounty and break some legs?

[lunarlegionnaire]

I'd ask how many calories that's got, but I probably won't like the answer.

[Well she's got help, even a little from their boss. So he just gives her an understanding, if somewhat conspiratory, smile.]

Tell you what. Our clients start talking? I'll tell them it's your cheat day and you're burning it off anyhow.

[At least then, they can't say she's not practicing what she preaches.]

Video

[heartboop]

Who said I even looked at calories? I'd probably eat it even if I did know.

[If he's seen her work out, then it's entirely possible for her to work off the calories. Nora smiles and gives a playful eye roll.]

I'll even post videos of my post-parfait workout as proof.

Video

[lunarlegionnaire]

[He totally has seen it. That's why her reaction to his promise earns her a pleased chuckle. Now that's more like the Nora he knows from work.]

Careful. Some of the guys are pretty hardcore. Real Mr. Universe types, and I don't think they'll take those videos lying down. Think you can take 'em on?
