Extreme makeover [Open, bendytimed to... whenever makes sense]

[zouichi]

Somehow, he'd gotten himself into a bet. He didn't even really remember how it had happened or how they had gotten on the subject. But then suddenly the bet had been accepted and it was too late to back down, and now he was sitting at the very same Mess Hall table Sakura and the others had been sitting at the other day while they'd been discussing the source of the ship's mystery meat food supply.

To be fair to Sakura, he'd picked a shade of pink to match her own, natural hair color. But the results were... jarring. Also, hopefully no one would recognize either of them.

How about noooooo. "Is that supposed to be an awful joke?"

[zouichi]

"Pretty much, yes." Zouichi gave the slop a rather suspicious look, and was once again thankful he didn't have to eat it.

"...if you'd like, some of the inn's trees are putting out cherries. I could bring them by for you later."

[quick_strike]

Cherries were good, definitely good. "Please do that."

She had to get her own tray of the stuff, which she glared at maliciously as she brought it back to the table.

[zouichi]

Could he deny that he was the slightest bit amused at the way she glared at her food? No, probably not.

"So, how are you getting along with Mr. Xenophobia?" He was talking about Erhart, of course.

[quick_strike]

"As well as any 'foul xenos' can get along with that insufferable corpse worshiper." She's heard the schtick a billion times from hundreds of humans. That's how it rolls.

[zouichi]

"Yeah," said Zouichi, watching to see how Alendian would pick at her food. "So I've noticed. He's not exactly spectacular at making friends."

Although as long as Erhart stayed away from Ildraniath, Zouichi supposed the situation was bearable.

[quick_strike]

Prepare to be disappointed, Zouichi, because she shoves as much in her mouth as possible to get it over with as quickly as possible.

"That goes for all his Space Marine friends. Most of them act similarly, if not identical, to him."

[zouichi]

That was pretty amusing in and of itself, Alendian. Although now that he thought about it, he'd never really seen Ildraniath eating anything.

"Hard to believe all of them are like that. It seems so different from the Earth I'm used to..." Not that there weren't plenty of zealots on Zouichi's Earth, of course. It was just that they were the bad guys. As opposed to the somewhat-morally-ambiguous guys, like Zouichi himself.
