"Turn the stove on medium, add 4 spoons of cooking oil and the chicken."
"And in the future don't make them so cubical. A little longer is better."
Honeysuckle rummages around for some cans of vegetables and hands them to Fel.
"Open these cans, cut up these carrots into little bits, and once the chicken is cooked, put it on a plate and the veges into the pan."
She will be preparing the eggs. They do have eggs here, right?
"Oh, and add a bit of salt, pepper, and magspice while the chicken is cooking."

Now is where things get complicated!
As Fel prepares the stove, her mind reels....
Carrots?
EGGS???
As far as Fel knew, chicken fried rice only had chicken, rice, soy sauce and a touch of garlic.
She opens the cans and readies the carrots, making sure the chicken doesn’t burn.
Ive never seen eggs in chicken fried rice, I am intrigued.
Do you have any specialties, food wise, a favorite dish?

Reinholdt yawns and stretches, paws curling against the sofa. Once awake, Rein hops down and heads towards Felandria's Office.
Does he knock?
He does.
It's pretty quiet though. A knocking cat is not very loud at all.

Reinholdt enters, closing the door behind him before walking over and hopping up on one side of her desk. "Are you preparing for a hot date?" Reinholdt asks, wondering if that's what the cookbook is for.

Nah, just trying to learn stuff.
Believe me, I wish I was readying for a date, it’s been a bit.
There was this one girl I met in Civvy’s Place, but I never heard back from her.
I dunno, maybe I scare them off.......

Reinholdt frowns. "Listen. Ninety-five percent of people are waiting. They want, and hope, and bide patiently, waiting for someone to care enough about them or have enough interest in them to ask them out. They're not looking for love, they're hoping for significant attention and conflating the two. You're probably doing it yourself."
Rein holds up a paw so Felandria doesn't get mad. "No shame in it. Nothing wrong with it. It's just the way people are. But when you get two people who have that affliction bad enough, you get two people interested in each other and neither of them making a move because they both desire the other to desire them enough to move first. Your best bet is to throw away that sense of self, and go call her and ask about a date. If she accepts, you've made her day. If she refuses, she was never interested in the first place and it won't keep you in a pining limbo."
Relationship advice from Reinholdt is guaranteed to be the worst and should be ignored.

[Medical Bay]
Deep inside the dusty, unused Medical Bay, a being shuffles, as if waking up.
And then shuffles some more, because shuffling is fun, okay.
This being fights through layers and layers of dust in order to get to the lightswitch.
With a near deafening boom in the stillness of the room, the switch is flipped, and the high humming of the lights reverberate through the air.
"Goodness this is a lot of dust." It mumbles, before setting about with the strongest vacuum that could be found in the closet full of "AAA SPIDERWEBS"

Felandria shrugs and sighs.
I guess you’re right, it couldn’t hurt.
So, what’s up on the Reinholdt front?
Re: HALO 183: The Not Remotely Gritty Reboot
[Felandria's Office]
"Right." Well, on with it then. Reinholdt gets back off the desk and stops being a cat for a while. Being a flaming hot human has its advantages. Namely in holding up presentation cards.
The first card has a trio of identically drawn, if badly drawn cats on them, each with labels: HALO, GLoG, Vigil. "So far one of the issues brought up is how do we distinguish ourselves from the other groups?"
Rein switches to the next card which has three pictures, not drawings, of cats he found on the Internet. One snuggling, one with combat gear, and one in a science like outfit. All ridiculous looking. "So if we think about each group's main focus, we learn how to specialize. GLoG is the heart. Their job is to heal and to comfort. Vigil is the brawn. They go out and beat the things up that need a good punch to the face. So I think, we should be the brain." Rein's argument holds a little less weight when utilizing meme cats to get the point across. The next poster picture of a normal old brain isn't helping.
"We have remarkable facilities for labwork, and a solid library that would entice anyone with those interests. When there needs to be an investigation into the origins of a plague or how to close a temporal anomaly or even researching an ancient evil to find its weak point, people should think of HALO. Now, I mean, that's not to say there won't ever be overlap. GLoG occasionally punches people, Vigil likely does legwork of its own, and if we're digging in ruins to translate in ancient text, we'll have to be prepared to defend ourselves too. But if we establish ourselves in this niche, we could theoretically solidly support the other groups with the Intel we find while furthering our own name."
Rein sets the cards aside. "Of course, we would have to target our recruitment as well, looking for top tier scientists, researchers, and magicians interested primarily in the betterment of the world. There's bound to be leftover nerds out there from all those start up magic colleges and towers that failed, and I've got a bead on at least one impressive scientist that leans more for the tech side of things which pairs better with our facilities. What do you think?"
Re: HALO 183: The Not Remotely Gritty Reboot
Felandria grins broadly.
I love everything about that!
You’re exactly right, we don’t compete with GLoG or VIGIL, we all focus on one thing and work together when we need to, it’s fantastic.
And yeah, we can find other scientists and magicians and such.
I taught at Zafflebrod’s for a bit, I could be a professor again!
Well done, Rein!
