Week 6

[grimgrinningghosts]

[. . . Well last week sure was a bloodbath. A bloody, accidental bloodbath. Even with two groups trying to save you, it might start to feel doubtful that you'll ever get out of here alive. Not to mention that Randy almost killed you all on an angry whim and you're still stuck in this madhouse with him of all people.

But hey, there's a silver lining to every cloud! You get a new floor that's not a nightmarish deathscape! Aren't you glad?

[ Jyn starts today by discovering that there's a new floor and that new floor has a gym, so the gym is where she's at for a lot of today. Beating on punching bags, just regular working out, whatever. If you see her with the punching bags, though, it's easy to note that for a regular human she is really good at fighting and hits very hard. Very, very hard.

Later on after that, though, Jyn moves back into the previously-open floors, more specifically to the kitchen. She might not be the best cook, but she can make a few things. Like "I have meat and some vegetables and a little hot sauce, fuck it" soup! Which she has made a solid pot of, and she's drinking a bowl of. If anyone comes in, she'll look up at them. ]

I made soup, if you want some.

[ Go on, gang. Ask her what kind of soup. Ask her what meat she used. ]

[athleticallyinclined]

[ Challenge accepted. ]

What kind of soup?

[astronomics]

[ A slight smirk. ]

Duck soup, what else?

[athleticallyinclined]

[ He just looks at her for a moment. And then he gives her a giant smirk back and serves himself a bowl.

He takes a huge swallow of soup and then looks at Jyn. ]

Delicious.

[astronomics]

I'm glad you enjoy it. I know I'm certainly enjoying it.

[athleticallyinclined]

As you should!

[ Don't mind him he's just going to. Eat all that soup. ]

What's for dessert?

gym

[stanbyme]

[Stan is so ready for this gym that he's even wrapped his hands with bandages from the first aid room - pre-emptively this time, instead of hurting himself and having his girlfriend bandage him up.

And he comes in and sees one of the girls wailing on the punching bags, and he turns back to leave to give her some privacy, except in doing so he accidentally kicks one of the barbells, sending it banging to the floor.]

Crap- uh, didn't mean to interrupt.

[astronomics]

[ Jyn gets a little startled by the barbell hitting the ground, but other than turning her attention towards Stan there's not that much of a reaction. ]

Don't worry about it. Stan, right?

[stanbyme]

That's my name, don't wear it out.

[He gives her a showman's grin.]

You mind if I take on one of the other bags?

[astronomics]

Knock yourself out. The more the merrier, right?

[stanbyme]

Long as there's a bag to spare.

[He steps up to one of the other punching bags, and takes a pretty typical boxing form.

His first two hits are solid and quick, and definitely powerful for a man his age.]

Never been in a gym with a girl before, thought I'd ask before butting in.

[astronomics]

I've never been in a real gym before, to be honest. Just the training area Saw built when I was younger.

[stanbyme]

I ain't been in the real deal since I was... What, seventeen?

[Another set of good, firm hits.]

...Don't ask how many years ago that was.

kitchen

[upgradeit]

Cool. Can I have an extra bowl for my shrine?

[Please feed this boy. He doesn't know how to cook for himself and his sources of food just died? And he doesn't want to make Marco cook for him all the time? That's not cool.]

What's it made of?

[astronomics]

[ Takes a bite thoughtfully. ]

Take as much as you like, plenty of duck soup to go around.

[upgradeit]

[Hiro, a petty human being who lights up when he hears "duck soup":]

I'm taking two. One for Pinocchio and one for everyone else.

[astronomics]

Please, be my guest.

[upgradeit]

[Hiro pours two bowls and carefully takes them out to the foyer to set on his shrine before returning to take some for himself.]

. . . Hey, Jyn? Do you think if Negaduck ate duck soup it would be cannibalism? Or is that if like a human eats monkey brains?

[astronomics]

I... you know, I think it depends? We would have to know if the ducks on most worlds and what he is are different species.

[upgradeit]

So if he's just an alien that looks like a duck, then it wouldn't be the same? [Seems legit.] Although I guess - he was a Toon like Minnie and Randy, right? So then he's not a duck in the strictest sense anyway.

[angelgoatdemon]

[He's spent all afterparty cooking duck, so he recognizes it easily in a twisted way.]

Haha.

[Too soon? Perhaps not- He does look ashamed for himself while accepting some.]

[astronomics]

Eat up, by all means.

[ And don't mind Baby Groot, who is also chilling and eating Negaduck Revenge Soup. ]

Do you... I did some reading on Earth ducks, do you think he's the same species or something else that goes by the same name?

[angelgoatdemon]

[He finishes the soup in one gulp, then nods to answer her question. --Actually, he's going to write it down.]

He's definitely a duck from some alternate Earth dimension, but instead of wings they have weird hands and apparently sharp teeth.

[Negaduck's a fucked up duck.]

[astronomics]

[ Jyn quietly "Hm"s. ]

This alternate dimension business is still bizarre.

[angelgoatdemon]

Crossing dimensions is pretty normal where I'm from-! It's easy too, all you need are dimensional scissors.
