genessia | 7th Castle: Homesick! [Video]

Hey, Nora.

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

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.

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.

[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.

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?"

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.

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?"

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!

[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.]

[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.

Nora handed her a spoon from the small, rectangular tray on the side of the table. "I guess I miss just...one person in particular." There was a shy sort of smile on her face as she scooped up some cream and a few pieces of strawberries and raspberries. "There's a lot going on back home, too, so I wanna see how things will go."

[Managing to see Blake sit with a cup of tea, Nora nods.] I would've been halfway done by now. I'm just...taking my time. Enjoying the moment. Wallowing in what could've been the start of something awesome if I wasn't stuck here [gestures with her hands to where she is now.] and Ren stuck there. [vaguely gestures to some other place with her hands]

Mukuro plinked in the spoon and stirred up a pile of cream and grain before popping it into her mouth and slurping it clean in one dolop. "Oh, something simmilar happened to my Sister once." She explained before spinning the spoon with her finger. "She tried to change to meet the expectations of her boyfriend, but in the end, she lost herself to the point of... well..." She stopped herself, not only because the story was radically different from the actual events, but knowing that the moral wouldn't justify the conversation.

"Nevermind... Is there anything I can do to circumvent the lonesomeness or uncertainty?" She questioned, digging into the glass and scraping up some cream idly. Mukuro didn't have much physical property to her name, in fact the only one thing she would be willing to part with, while may suit the rather bashful individual, she couldn't confirm her state of mind right then and there.

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.

I see. [She wished she could reassure Nora, but there was nothing useful the dream docks could tell her about Ren. She knew that she had made it home and that she was immensely grateful to see her family again and that Sun and his team were fine. Yang was too frightened to go near the dream docks and in a way, Blake understood. It had taken her a while to build her courage to go. But she felt like if Weiss had been mature enough to face whatever was waiting when they got home, then so should she.]

There's a lot of people I miss too. Look, I don't know if I ever told you this, but I'm sorry. For the way things...left off. I panicked. I didn't want anyone else to get hurt like Yang. But because of that, I also don't know what became of some of the others. I figured you and Ren would return to wherever you were living before Beacon.

[She remembered vaguely them mentioning something about being orphans, so the faunus chose her words carefully.]

[That's it Nora that's his semblance. He just appears. One layer is still impressive. He raises his eyebrows.]

That's almost three feet of parfait. Four feet? Anyway it's a lot. Remember when we-- [He was going to mention the noodles, but he stops himself. Taking the spoon, he ends up eating a lot faster than Nora.] I'll save your favorite fruits.

Well, we can at least eat like...half our height in parfait, right?

[Jaune pauses halfway in his sentence, which makes Nora only want to know what he's talking about.] When we what? [That could be literally any time since becoming a team.]

You mean all of them? [She looks around the fruit inside. Yep, Nora isn't a picky eater.] Which ones do you like?

Those were some impressive spoon skills. Nora usually just...jumps in with gusto. Hand and spoon coordination like that was too much work. "I don't think I'd change for anyone. Not like I'd need to." If she did that, Ren probably wouldn't like her anymore, or ask what had gotten into her head.

"You know, just having someone to talk with is good enough. Or even just someone to eat with. So, thanks," Nora said with a smile. "Most people would be too scared to try and eat this monster." She gestured to the parfait. Never would she admit to being in over her head.

[Nora just shrugs, getting ready to scoop out some of the parfait.]

I get it. I've been scared before when things got rough. But one day, I ended up not being alone anymore to face the scary stuff. [Successfully scooping out a rather tall spoonful, Nora smiles to Blake softly.] Ren and I don't really have anywhere else to go. We probably would've found a place, but it wouldn't be permanent. [Her smile fades as she sighs.] Not in that environment. No where is really safe...

[She stuffs the parfait she scooped up into her mouth.]

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?

Isn't that what we're supposed to drink in water anyway? That should be no problem for team...JN. [He pronounces it June.]

[He pauses.] When we all ate those noodles.

I guess strawberries. I like everything.

Edited 2017-03-11 14:53 (UTC)

I don't think we'll have much space for water.

[Ah, the noodles. And the time that hardly anyone was surprised by her belch. Those were better times...] We'll have more room for a parfait than noodles this time. [The statement is topped with a confident nod.] There's always room for dessert.

[Nora makes sure to keep the strawberries for Jaune. There was a single cherry on top that she removed to eat last, but she slides it over to him on a napkin. There'll be other cherries to eat.]

So...how're you feeling, Jaune? [Weiss told her that he went to the docks, so maybe he's feeling pretty down, too.]

"You're talking to someone who has devoured a cooked camel's hump in half an hour." She teased giving a peace sign of affirmation. "I mean, Thats nothing compared to some of my upperclassmen, one could eat two whole bull thighs in a lunch period, but that is all in the past." The solider sauntered, jabbing down and spiraling up a peak of cream with her spoon before blowing it onto Nora's nose.

"If anything I am not usually one to talk myself, but this place seems to bring out the inner chatterbox of me."

I guess after Beacon, it would seem so. [Blake bit her bottom lip.] I couldn't get away from the White Fang, not even in Menagerie. Whatever it is you are avoiding finds you eventually. Even Genessia isn't really safe.

[Blake lifted her chin slightly.]

But I'm done running.

[She still remembered the feeling she had when she held the original Fang's flag in her hands.]

From what we know, things kind of are put on a place holder in our timelines while we're here. So nothing is going to really happen without us. I do wonder if we will remember this place when we go back though.

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.
