Natural Mother [Open]

Within a school, despite the bad reputation for what is actually served there, cafeterias are a popular gathering place for almost all students, for Transmigration Nine however, this is not the case. In fact, this cafeteria had an even worse reputation for what was dispensed here and due the the fact the crew was not contained to a school and had other places they could freely be, they felt no need to force themselves to sit infront of a pile of grey, unidentifiable slop and chat when they had their own rooms, or better yet, a bar to kill their free time at.

Yet, this was where Diana could be found, sat on an empty table (though, to be fair, the vast majority of the tables were empty), with a trey of the glop sat infront of her, with two spoons sticking out of it. Her table seemed to have been picked at random, yes, it was close to the food dispenser, but not as close as it could be, and neither in the center or right at the sides.

Despite this, it would not be her singularity (which she seemed rather at ease with) that would draw your attention to her, nor her very attractive appearance.

No. Instead it would be that strange, croaking noise coming from her hands that are resting upon the table.

Diana takes one of her hands away to pick up one of the spoons, and sheltered underneath the remaining hand there's very young baby bird. Just hatched it seems. Rather ugly looking thing to be honest. All pink and skinny, with a neck that seems like it'll snap any second, and with no feathers whatsoever, just stubby little fleshy appendages that are supposed to grow into wings someday.

Its eyes aren't open, there's just these grey slabs where the eyes should be and lined with yellow beak is a gaping red mouth (the only colourful part of the creature really) which opens and shut periodically as it makes the croaking cry for food.

The only break between those cries is when Diana spoons some of the gray slop and presses it into the raw read hole, forcing the tiny creature to gulp down the strange sustenance before resuming its demands.

It's rather jarring, seeing this gross but fragile looking creature manhandled by such a pretty young girl. And just to add to the oddness of it all, piled next to the hatchling are some perfectly beautiful looking shards of an egg, that catch the light in just the most amazing way.

Shit, so sorry I missed this!

"I'm not surprised," Mindy said, grinning. "I've run into Jinx before. She doesn't really seem like the cooking type."

She nodded. "Are you kidding? I could use all the help I can get. This isn't just a hobby: I was literally here for hours after those damn robots attacked."

Mindy shook her head. "What would I even charge? The only thing I'd be interested in getting is more food for this place, and besides, Sasami wouldn't have charged."

"Yeah, Rations. Although I don't know how far she wanders out from the Inn. A lot of the time she sticks around begging for food." He might have indulged her once or twice with that, but it totally wasn't his fault, okay?

He smiled a little. "Stubborn... but he's a sweet bird. I wouldn't trade him for any other. Anyway, what's this guy's name?"
iselldrugstothecommunity: (Are you really serious I don't think so.)

"What is that?" Howard parks himself across the table from Diana and gives the bird a look. "It looks like an animal you'd scrape off your shoe. I didn't know they made rats with beaks."

And after a pause. "And that's to say nothing of the bird."

You weren't... really going to eat that bird, were you, Diana?

"Probably. Or you'll end up like Lash, with a pet named Dog." How was Dog, anyway? Zouichi remembered Lash sending out a message about him on the comms... maybe he should check up on the both of them, just in case.

Howard snatches it out of the air a few centimeters from his head (and is rather impressed with himself that he managed that). Thankfully he managed to get his tray set down first, or he'd have been unable to defend himself from Death By Spoon.

"So what're you up to these days? Besides nursing the world's ugliest bird baby."

Jinx purred right back appreciating the look returning the flirty eyes and drinking in Diana's good looks. Sometimes? It paid to have experience in being a lackie.

"So have you thought of a name?" She offered to break the silence but not taking her eyes off of Diana.

He smiled. "It's actually Alan Turing. He was a famous computer scientist and mathematician, although he was probably best known for cracking the Enigma cipher and his invention of the Turing test."

Zouichi had told Howard about it, but Howard had started to glaze over. Sigh.

"Anyway, he just looked like an Alan."

Jinx leaned back savoring the contact. It brought her a strange sort of comfort that she didn't know she was lacking most of the time.

"Have you ever had any pets?" She paused and added, "And human pets don't count." A little joke.

Jinx closed her eyes with a smile and a purr, "Like what? I'm curious about the life and times of Miss Diana~" It had recently come to Jinx's attention just how little she really knew about where Diana came from. The girl was just so damn good at what she did.

"Well they do say the strongest diamonds are formed under the greatest pressure." She mused softly, "But no pressure from me. If you feel like it someday, if not I'll just live for the moment." She glanced over her shoulder at the bird quietly pleased that Diana was keeping the shards for whatever reason.

"You're seriously wasting food on that thing? And here I was having second thoughts about feeding my cat."

Howard shrugs. "Drunk. The usual. I introduced him to the beer tree and I think it replaced me for best friend privileges."

Sigh, teenagers. They don't appreciate anything.

"I don't know; I think he's pretty cute. But maybe something'll come to you." Hopefully something that wasn't a reference to eating the poor thing. "So you're planning on keeping him around for a while?"
iselldrugstothecommunity: (Raised eyebrow for serious skepticism.)

Howard knows exactly what she means. It's why he hated that stupid Furby back in the day, after all. "So kill it."

Howard nods. "Yeah, I know. It's not like I'm expecting anything better."
