A New Way To Go...? [Open]

If anything, if there was a way to describe Sasami's current state of mind, it was listless. She was still shaken up by the events concerning the Darksoul and she needed something to get her mind off of it all. It all boiled down to just wandering across the City. Home would always be there for her and taking some time off from her job wouldn't be too bad.

Wandering across the City, she found a small, out of the way building. By what was inside, it looked like a restaurant. Curiosity got the better of her, she tested the doors and found them to be unlocked - whatever it was, it must had been in use before it was pulled in. Wandering inside, she didn't mind the darkness until she reached where the kitchen should be. Feeling for a light switch, she found it and snapped it on, illuminating the room. Her eyes widened a bit as she saw inside - a fully stocked (at least in terms of supplies) kitchen. Dishes, utensils, the works.

"Wow... it looks like it has everything to start a restaurant..." Sasami uttered. Investigating further, she found some of the building's freezers, still oddly running. A quick peek inside revealed a number of food still inside, possibly still fresh (it was hard to tell, what with the horrible span of time on this ship).

"...not to start as one, to actually run it...!" she said, a smile quickly forming. "But... what could I do with it? What could I do?" It was easy to go beyond the "running the store" bit, but at the same time, running a restaurant was a big task to say the least.

"...and what should I name it?"

Ronnae was happy, she had made new friends, got accepted into engineering and she had been in a good mood all day. She was happily doing her daily exploring of the ship. Her favorite hoodie on and some black cargo shorts instead of her knee lenght skirt. She stopped in front of a building that hadn't been lit up the day before and took a moment to peek in.

"Hello? Anyone in here?" She waited for a response, not wanting to barge in on anyone.

Sasami blinked as she heard Ronnae's voice, a small smile crossing her lips. "Ronnae? Is that you?" she called out.

Ronnae smiled as she recognized the voice. She walked in looking around the building. "Yup. Didn't know anyone was in here, just that this place wasn't lit up when I passed by yesterday." She made her way to where she heard the voice come from.

"I just found this place... it's a restaurant!" Sasami said, letting Ronnae join her. "I haven't had the chance to fully explore the place, but it looks like it's a good place to have, especially with everyone not liking the slop...!"

Ronnae was more than interested now. Not only did she love restaurants, the idea of not having to eat slop? Please do!

"Hm? Sounds like a great idea! Need a hand?" Ronnae smiled at Sasami.

"Actually, I wouldn't mind that at all!" Sasami said, a big smile forming on her face. "Just the thought of running the place would be exhausting - there's no way I could handle it alone!" There was a lot more to be done, but this was easily the start of it."

Ronnae cheered, playfully bouncing. "Alright! Good food incoming! And not a moment too soon!" Even tho she had been in the ship for no more than a month.

"Where do we start? I mean I went to my fair share of restaurants back home, and I helped my uncle Cloudsy in his inn. But I don't know how to go about starting this." She said curiously scratching her chin lightly, looking up in thought.

"That's... actually a good question. Right now, we need to make sure that we have enough food to last for a good while." Sasami said, hopping off from her seat. "We got so many people here, if we don't watch out, we'll run out too fast...!"

Ronnae laughed. "Yep, I'm pretty sure I'll help us run out of food fast myself." She grinned playfully. "And I can't really blame them considering the alternative, as nutricious as it is."

She thought for a moment. "Well my uncle always said, one of the most important things when running a food joint, was to keep a healthy inventory. So.... I guess we take inventory!" She smiled.

Sasami couldn't help but chuckle at what Ronnae said. She did have a point, in any case.

"Well, then, let's go and see...!" Sasami said, heading into the back and leading Ronnae to the freezers. Opening the door, she couldn't help but shiver (those plantsuits would be useful right now. "Ooof, cold...! I hope there's plenty...!"

Crossing her arms over her chest to keep herself warm, Sasami stepped inside the freezer.

Ronnae had gotten used to the cold due to the long Northrend war. It also helped she loved wearing baggy or thick clothing due to her shyness. Regardless she walked in looking excitedly at the food. "C'mon, let there be tons and tons! Ribs, steaks, haunches, fish, fruits, veggies! Everything! Please!" She said looking around happily.

As Sasami made her way further inside, she opted to make quick stops at certain points, taking stock at what was inside some of containers. It seemed like there was just about everything a normal, humanoid-type could enjoy - various fruits and vegetables, chicken and steaks, hamburgers and hot dogs. Probably few other types of food that she'd never seen before.

"Wow, so much... we got enough variety for all sorts of meals!" Sasami said, shivering a bit as she did. Upon reaching the end of the freezer, she was greeted by something else - another door. "Huh...? Why's there another door here?"

Ronnae had a wide grin. She couldn't wait to sink her teeth into some of these. However she noticed Sasami stopping at another door, she moved in closer to it as well. "Hm? Odd. Maybe an extra freezer?" She poked at it lightly.

"It just might be..." Sasami said, moving to open the door. As she did, she couldn't help but blink at what was inside - indeed, it was another freezer, but much bigger.

"Wow... it's huge!" Sasami said in awe. Stepping in a bit, she looked around. "I'm guessing that the first freezer is for what we need immediately, and this is to make sure we have plenty more for later one!"

It was impressive to say the least, but it was also a bit too big for her to handle right now.

Ronnie however bounced right in taking in the sight. "Woohoo! This is gonna be great!" The young teen's face was beaming.

"Mmn! It is...!" Sasami said, nodding. "Though, we gotta remember - it's for the entire crew! Which means we can't binge on it!"

Yeah, the temptation to have real food for themselves is massive, but this is for everyone, no matter what!

Ronnae laughed, "You don't read minds do you?" She grinned playfully before sticking her tongue out. "Just playing, I know I know. As much as I'd like to hoard this. I would rather share this wonderful find with everyone!" She made a quick mental image of the items before stepping out of the second freezer.

Sasami couldn't help but laugh as she followed Ronnae out of the second freezer. "Believe me, I'd like to do that myself, but I'd have people trying to get into my home just to get at it!"

"But at the very least, we know it's here and once we get everything set up, we should be able to open up to the rest of the crew! I know they'd love it just as much as we do now!"

Ronnae nodded. "Yup, this is an amazing find Sasami! You will be praised! I know I am." She grinned giving her a thumbs up.

"Let's not tell anyone, though~!" Sasami replied, winking at Ronnae. "We got a lot of work to do and if we open too soon, we're gonna be in a lot of trouble...!"

Ronnae nodded. "Yeah, would hate opening without anything ready... pretty we'd get overwhelmed in no time and then I'd have to start breaking chairs on people." She stuck her tongue out playfully at Sasami.

Sasami had someone who'd been looking for her. It had been subtle at first, sort of tracking the girl, seeing what was going on with her for the moment, but at this point, Sasami saw the girl emerge from the shadows.

"Hey," Hit Girl said, staring Sasami down.

Sasami couldn't help but gasp as she heard that voice. A bit of worry hit her as she wasn't sure what Hit Girl would do.

"H-Hey..."

"Listen you," she said, looking at Sasami carefully, "You're not going to get a chance like that again. I intend to get stronger, and I'm not going fall to you again."

She gave her a serious look. "Anyway, I'm not going to guilt you or anything stupid like that. Even I could tell that demon-y thing wasn't you. Mostly."

Sasami couldn't help but blink. "H-Hit Girl, I-I don't care what happens, I don't want to fight you!" she said.

"Just because that thing took over doesn't mean you have to do anything drastic like that...!"

There was a chance that she didn't care...

Hit Girl sighed. Damn it, but she was actually going to have to explain this to Sasami, much as she hated it. It would be the only way she would understand.

"Look," she said, "I know you're all traumatized by what happened, I GET it. I never thought, the longer we fought, that it was you anyway. But you definitely said some things I know had less to do with the darksoul and more to do with you and your own problems. So the way I figure, best way to deal with that is to have us competing a little bit: you're a sweet girl, but unless you have people swarming over you it makes you dead meat. So I figure you can at least toughen up a little."

And it was annoying, but she would do it.

"Don't think I forgot what you said to me about Negi. You have some security issues, kid."

Sasami? Have problems? She might deny it, but she kinda does - mostly that feeling of being alone.

It probably doesn't help that, in Negi's case, it's less that initial problem and more that her only means of knowing about relationships come from her real sister. And that's not the best way to know about it...!

"...alright... but, I'm not going to lose to you." she said.

"That's more like it," she said, and there's a smirk there. "Though you might wanna look into getting help with possession invasion, so this doesn't happen again. Oh, and I'm totally going to be taking classes with Negi whether you like it or not. I got some training of my own I gotta take care of."

While the statement itself sounded lewd, there wasn't a lie in it: she WAS taking lessons from Negi and she did need his help when it came to leaning magic. She didn't get that barrier jacket for nothing.

"You're... taking lessons with Negi?" Sasami said, a bit surprised. Her emotions were getting the best of her again, but she tried her best to keep them bottled. "How so?"

"Gotta learn magic," she said. "I can only fight so long, and its not like I have super powers or anything. Gotta adjust to the times, learn different ways to fight. I'm doing pretty good too, though you kinda mocked me when I used them on you."

Which was why she was going to make sure she was better at it.

"What are you doing anyway, in this place?"

"Me? Well... I just found it randomly. It's a restaurant. Maybe if I can get it up and running, we could eat something that isn't slop."

It was an ambitious plan, to say the least.

"Is that right?" She looked around. "Where would you get all of the food sources and stuff? I'm sure you'd need help, but you definitely need other stuff."

Ambitious? Yes. Tricky? Definitely.

"Well, there's a freezer in the back, but it doesn't have everything I need. I'm still thinking of how we can get what we need." Sasami said. She shrugged a bit.

"Well, maybe our next stop has some sort of animals we can use!"

"Well, I can do some hunting. I mean, I wasn't raised in the boonies or anything, but I could manage to get a few animals in the freezer. Then we have to get a cook. I would be lousy at that sort of thing."

She shrugged. Hey, a rivalry didn't mean she couldn't help a little bit with something like this, right?

"Don't worry, I got the cooking part handled. I used to cook for everyone back home. I still do with my roommates." Sasami said. "Really, I can't wait to cook for everyone!"

"Well if you don't cook for a lot of people, that might be OK, but how many people will want to have something that isn't slop. You'll probably need a few people cooking and stuff."

She thought a moment. "Oh, yeah, like that Hoshi girl? I saw her: she was really nice."

Sho was hopping over the rooftops across the city, wearing the Guyver armor. Since no one seemed to be afraid of it, he decided that no one would really be bothered if they saw him as the Guyver. Besides, being bio-boosted made exploring the city much faster, easier and a lot more fun.

Sho lands outside what looks to be a restaurant. What catches his eye is that there appears to be a light on inside.

"Huh, that's odd." Sho enters to investigate, forgetting that he still has the Guyver armor on. "Maybe it's closed and they forgot to lock up, and to turn off the light."

Sasami looked up from her musings as she saw the armored figure approached. Granted, she had seen those like Kang around, but this...?

Her only reaction was to scream in a panic and find somewhere to hide.

"Huh? Oh no!" Sho says as he looks down and realizes what's wrong. He wills the Guyver armor away and frowns, worried for Sasami.

"Please, please don't scream! I just forgot I had my armor on." Sho does his best to calm her down. "See? I'm just a normal human."

Sasami peeked out from her hiding spot as she saw Sho without his armor.

"I-I'm sorry..." Sasami said, stepping out. "I didn't know..."

Sho sighs, relieved.

"No, it's my fault. I should have known better. I started to think that everyone here would have been used to the armor, what with all the weird stuff here already." He walks closer to Sasami and kneels down so he's eye level with her.

"My name's Sho. Sorry for scaring you."

"It's alright. I should be used to this stuff, too, but..." Sasami said, grinning sheepishly.

"I'm Sasami. It's nice to meet you, Sho..."
