001 ✨ [video]

ImPorts, is it?

[The young woman on camera looks stern and uncompromising- though that may just be the natural slant of her eyebrows, the usual set for her lips. Regardless, she takes a moment as if making sure she knows what she wants to say, and then squaring her shoulders, continues-]

We have been brought here for a purpose, and although the ends are a mystery, the fact that we are the means speaks volumes! So tell me-

[Tilting her chin up, she looks imperious- someone who's used to command, control- and with almost surprising charisma (and oh my god, is that backlighting? How?), continues-]

What will you do if the ends do not suit you? If they are less than savory? Will you continue to obey those who have brought us here?

[She settles back into her chair, folding her hands over each other, and raises her eyebrows.]

It's only right that I know what sort of people I am meant to cooperate with, after all.

The cafe may be better.

[The obvious 'government housing may be bugged' she assumes, needn't be said.]

Good.

[Movies about aliens huh? She assumes, being that it's a movie he's recommending, that Earth wins.]

...if nothing else of note happens on the day of, perhaps we should all watch it.

The cafe is as much as a valid option as the apartment.

[He lifts up his arm, sliding down his sleeve to show the tattoo which she may or may not have noticed on herself.]

It's our bodies that are no longer fit for real discussion. The tattoo is a communicator outside of the devices. Both input and output are wired through us.

I'll be sure to rent it ahead of time, then.

Unfortunate. There is no way around them?

[She had thought they were simply to keep track of their status. She should have known better.]

It would be a wise idea. Perhaps stocking up on food as well.

Handwriting and passing notes is likely the safest way. Possibly using a ciphertext. I have no data on if the communicators are connected to our minds to the point of being able to access our memory, but as an estimate with the level of technology they have here, I doubt it.

Senketsu typically is the one who does the food shopping, but I can make a note to also pick up "movie night" type snacks.

In Japanese, to be safe?

[In terms of notes, and such.]

I am loathe to consider that my memories are no longer private, so I hope your assessment is correct.

...he certainly does try and take care of you all, doesn't he?

I was going to recommend, if not Japanese, a new ciphertext entirely. I can make one up easily.

He certainly does try. I appreciate that he makes dinner.

[But complicated feels on liking the idea of someone trying to take care of him.]

We will work with Japanese in the meantime, then. Thank you, Inumuta.

Perhaps it would be prudent to take turns helping.

[Yeah, she can probably figure as much, even if he doesn't say it.]

...Take turns cooking.

[Look at his face, Satsuki.

Does this look like the face of a guy who knows how to cook?]

Take turns helping. Even if you can't cook I'm sure at least the attempt would be welcome.

...Of course, Lady Satsuki.

[internal screaming intensifies]

That will not present a problem, will it?

[It can't be that bad, Inu.]

No. It's perfectly fine.

[Can't even boil potatoes.]

Excellent.

[She clearly does not know what she's asking him to do.]

I will see about asking Senketsu to instruct me as well.

[You can learn with her, nerd.]

Perhaps asking Senketsu to teach me is asking too much.

[Satsuki you have no idea, there is a reason he ate horrible pre-made meals for like three years while living alone.]

Giving up without even trying, Inumuta?

[She may almost sound like she's teasing.]

How unlike you.

[But no if he's not going to want to, she's not going to make him.]

[Ugh... Well, when put like that...]

...Alright. Fine. But I should warn you that I've tried to take up cooking before. It ended poorly.

If you really feel the outcome will be so terrible you aren't obligated to try.

[But she's totes going to make fun of you.]

[A pause.]

Well, it can't be worse than Sanageyama's cooking.

[Not that the other was a bad cook, but... his choice of ingredients...]

... has he been insisting on konnyaku in everything again?

When doesn't he?

Ah. Well, there isn't much to be helped in that case. We'll have to keep him away from the food preparation as much as we can.

Agreed. I suppose I really will have to learn how to cook... for the sake of the greater good.

If nothing else, it will give you recourse should he get it in his mind to do the cooking himself.

[Not that his cooking is bad per se, just...]

I have backup dinners in the fridge already.

[EXCEPT THEY ARE ALL AWFUL FROZEN DINNERS.]

But I know what you mean.

[Satsuki actually makes a slight face at that- just the barest wrinkling of her nose.]

I hope you don't mean frozen dinners Inumuta, those are hardly... suitable.
