announcing room service! (evening after the mission)

[magicurls]

[ One of the resident healers looks a little tired, but she's relatively fine. Time to hold it together for the others. ]

Hi everyone! Mami here.

I know we've all faced a long week and a difficult battle, and some of us are so worn out we can barely stand. Hiking to the dining car is difficult even with the transport ring, isn't it?

That's why I'm starting room service runs for people in need! Meals delivered directly to your door. For tonight's meal I'll be bringing a choice of coconut soup, shrimp stew, or chicken curry, and a dessert choice of coconut cream pie or macaroons. I'm also willing to take special requests if you have any more specific needs, or if there's something special to you that would make you feel better.

If anyone's willing to help me with cooking, delivery, or cleanup, I'd really appreciate it, but don't worry. I can get through this myself with a little planning.

I can send a few Phantoms your way to help out. No real effort on my part even needed, I can literally do it in my sleep.

[magicurls]

If you're sure! I don't want you to get sick.

Do you have any requests?

[redmeguca]

Got any apple pie? Oh, and can we talk later? There's something I need to tell you. It's good, so don't worry.

[magicurls]

We don't have apples at the moment, but I can order some at the next platform! Consider this an IOU.

And...sure, I'll be over on my rounds.

[ Mami arrives a while later with a fresh plate of food. ]

...Kyoko?

[redmeguca]

Oh, hey, good to see you.

[Kyoko takes the plate from Mami, seemingly in a much better mood than she was when the mission ended.]

So I got to talking with Usagi, [NOM] an' she thinksh she can make shomething [GULP] that'll keep your Soul Gem from breaking when it fills.

[magicurls]

Keep it...from breaking?

[ Mami had stopped thinking about it when Entrapta-san disappeared. She would simply have to focus on not giving in to despair. ]

That might keep everyone safe...but what would happen to my power?

[redmeguca]

That's... probably up to you, really. Ideally, you'd get a Doppel of your own. Ophelia already told you what's needed, so it depends on if you're ready or not. If not, you'll probably have to fight a weaker version of Candeloro or something.

[voice]

[miseris_socios]

... It won't be great, but I've started some vegetable soup in the kitchen. In case anyone wants another choice or something... or you run out.

[magicurls]

A doppel...

[ Mami munches on a spare macaroon while she thinks about this. She isn't usually a snacker, but...]

If I try it...you'll be there, right? To stop her if something goes wrong?

[magicurls]

Oh, thank you! That's wonderful. Sometimes a simple soup like that is just the thing when you're sick.

Are you all right?

[redmeguca]

That should go without saying, you know I've always got your back. We'll bring Usagi too, and maybe even the other me.

[miseris_socios]

I'm fine, I just got some scrapes. I didn't have access to what I fight with, so I had to just be fast...

( He only manages to answer to this because of a keyword: chicken.

Thus he rolled (literally) out of bed, hauled himself up to the table with the ICP, and can be seen on camera, resting his chin on a folded arm. )

Are you a fairy descended from the Heavens?

( Not that he believes in such on his world, but give an exhausted man his due: food offerings are divine. )

[eyediot]

That isn't the worst idea. I've gotten to figure out where things are the last week or so, I could help with some staples

[happyends]

[ Can Mami really do all of that by herself though, Madoka thinks.. That's an awful lot of cooking for just one person to do, even if not everyone might need such service. Maybe it's just a case of Mami taking on a little more than she can bear..

So there's no hesitation before Madoka is already hurrying over to the ICP to respond. ]

I can cook too! Cooking all of that and bringing it around all by yourself would be so much work, you know..? [ Even if Mami may have her powers to help! ]

[magicurls]

Oh, Madoka...I'd love that. It's much more fun working with friends.

[ She holds up her first plate of macaroons, nice and fluffy. ]

You're feeling all right to work?

[magicurls]

Mm, I'd appreciate it. All we really need is to get these carted to the sleeper cars so it's all nice and warm when it arrives. Are you up for it?

[magicurls]

[ Mami answers with a gentle laugh ]

I wish! No, I'm just trying to cook what we have and deliver it efficiently.

Do you want a plate sent to your room?

[eyediot]

Sure. I can certainly do that.

[magicurls]

Would you like me to come by and heal them? I think I can spare a little more energy.

[magicurls]

...I'll have to talk to her. That would be wonderful, but I don't want to make things worse or risk hurting anyone.

[jingyeets]

( but the c-word says she is at least a person of taste and of monthly recipes. probably. he holds up his other hand, offering a very tired grin.

he can try .. for chicken. )

The chicken curry, please?

[happyends]

Yeah! I think it's mostly the people who helped those other people get home that ended up super tired..

[ Sure, it's not like Madoka wasn't tired from fighting and trying to keep people safe either, but she's determined to bounce back quickly. Especially when there is an opportunity to help people. ]

But that's why I want to help them! And doing it together with you makes it even more fun, Mami-san.

[miseris_socios]

You don't need to... I - they're healing already. I made sure they got cleaned and they're already closed. But... um. Thanks. I appreciate it.

[redmeguca]

Alright, but I doubt either of 'em would say no. Other me is still me, and Usagi would both want to help and see the results of her work. Still, it's probably not going to be ready for a while, so we've got time to prepare.
