Natural Mother [Open]

[keep-suriving.livejournal.com]

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.

Mindy snickered. "Yeah, I sorta figured that out, I'm not that dumb. I'm talking specifically about the bird and the swindler."

She nodded. "I hear that. It's going ok, though I had a ton of extra work to do thanks to that stupid alien invasion and those damn robots. But I got some food, bought more in our last vacation, and I have a new cook who's supposed to be really good, so its a work in progress. But I can get you something, obviously."

The bird had gone quiet, Diana gave it a little shake to make sure it was just dozing and hadn't died, it gave a squark and wriggled a bit before nesting in her warm palm and going back to sleep.

"Free samples are always nice." Diana smirked before a thought struck her. She fixed her bright, pretty eyes on Mindy.

"How about a job?"

[hit-girl-mindy.livejournal.com]

Mindy chuckled. Some people would have called it cruel, shaking the baby like that, but she knew exactly why Dianna had done it, and that she would have likely done the same thing.

"Well, free samples is pretty much what we d since it makes no real sense to have money, but I was thinking more putting you on priority list."

She actually looked surprised. "Really? Can you cook?"

[keep-suriving.livejournal.com]

Diana's light chuckle was almost musical. "Priority list, I like the sound of that."

She shrugged. "Only well enough to feed myself."

Besides, she might not be too good in a kitchen. Since she had such a low standard for food, she wouldn't be too fussy about how things are prepared, people might end up food poisoning.

Diana winked, the smirk returning. "But I'd look pretty good as a waitress, don't you think?"

[hit-girl-mindy.livejournal.com]

Mindy shrugged. "Hey, you're a friend of mine and you give a crap, so why not? I kinda like Jinx too, so you tell her the same when you see her, ok? And none of this 'well enough to feed myself' shit. If you ahve to eat, might as well be decent, right?"

She nodded. "Yeah, I do. In fact, I kinda see people coming to the place more because of you. Maybe I SHOULD start charging..."

[keep-suriving.livejournal.com]

"If you say so." She nodded. "Jinx'll be pleased, she can't even stomach her own cooking, only I'll eat what she makes."

Diana's smirk grew. "Why, thank you~ Does that mean I'm hired?"

"I'm surpised you're not already charging."

Shit, so sorry I missed this!

[hit_girl_mindy]

"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."
