GLoG 20/XX: Twenty Times the Awesome

[Raistlin1040]

Hmm. Faust said without much interest.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Me too.

Skrall-2 nods a little. Yeah, I think that's enough for now. I need some rest.

And there's that deadtime.

[RabbitHoleLost]

Nikolai turned, heading for the kitchen, rolling her eyes as she faced away from Faust. Though they had mentioned going to a restaurant, the only one who had been able to eat was Faust, and Nikolai's stomach was grumbling.

[Reinholdt]

Irene's much better now, though still recovering some. After changing into some fresh clothes she got from drones and the big closet, she heads out to the kitchen to start cooking up a meal. She sees Faust and Nikolai and smiles nervously at them, seemingly shying away from contact as she resumes making herself dinner.

And ninja'd as Nikolai walks right into the kitchen. "Uhh... hi."

[Raistlin1040]

To be fair, he offered her a drink, and she couldn't handle it. Faust goes and sits on a couch, grabbing a magazine off a table and flipping it open. She'd better remember her part, he thinks to himself.

[RabbitHoleLost]

Nikolai beamed a giant smile at the catgirl.
"Oh, hello. I'm Nikolai Ruscelli." She's already thinking Irene's adorable.
Her brain is so woman-like like that.

[Admiral_Kelly]

Nora happens to be in the kitchen at the time, preparing a soup. She glances up to Nikolai, then looks back at the soup in her usual fashion of keeping to herself.

[Reinholdt]

"I'm Irene." She doesn't give a last name. "So do anything for you ma..." She shakes her head. That was odd. "Nikolai. Ummm..." She sort of clams up not knowing where that came from.

She'll give a nervous smile to Nora.

[RabbitHoleLost]

"Oh, no thank you, Miss Irene." Nikolai went about searching for something. Quick, easy, snack-like.
She gave Nora a polite nod of her head and a smile.

[Reinholdt]

She nods silently and resumes making... beef stew I guess.

[Admiral_Kelly]

"Soup?" Nora offers Nikolai, seeing she is searching for something. "It is nearly done."

[RabbitHoleLost]

"Oh." She stopped digging around in the shelves and cabinets, smiling at Nora.
"Yes, that would be wonderful, thank you. That is, of course, if its not too much trouble..."

[Reinholdt]

Irene finishes making the food and takes it into the greatroom to eat. She'll look at Faust. "So, uh, what's your name?"

[Admiral_Kelly]

"Not at all. I was not going to eat all of this anyway." Nora reaches to the cabinets for a couple of bowls.

[RabbitHoleLost]

"Oh, thank you, miss..." The necrophiliamancer hesitated, chewing her lower lip for a moment.
"I'm sorry, I don't actually know who you are, and that might actually be an incredibly rude thing if I accept food from you without knowing basic things like your name..."

[Raistlin1040]

Faust lowers his magazine so that his eyes, one ice blue and the other entirely black (including the normally white part). He then lowers it all the way and smiles. I'm Rayd.

[Admiral_Kelly]

"My name is Nora." She says with a smile. "No need to be so timid - your name is Nikolai, right?"

[Reinholdt]

Well it's less surprising than meeting a giant talking robot I suppose. Not by too much. She gives a small smile back. "A pleasure to meet you." She looks around the place, still unfamiliar with where she is. "Do you all live here?"

[RabbitHoleLost]

Nodding, Nikolai leaned closer.
"Yes, I am. How did you kno-" Her mouth fell open for a second and she sighed, smacking her palm against her forehead.
"You heard me tell Ms. Irene, of course. Well, its a pleasure to meet you, in anycase."

[Admiral_Kelly]

"You seem very nervous about something." Nora says, being observant.

[Raistlin1040]

Faust nods. Yes, my room's over there. He nods in the direction of his door.

[RabbitHoleLost]

"Nervous?" Nikolai blinked her hazel eyes.
"I, um...I'm always like this. I guess you could say meeting new people gives me the jitters. Excitement, and stuff."

[Admiral_Kelly]

"I do suppose my appearance may take getting use to." She says matter-of-factly. She takes a ladle and serves one of the bowls which have been put on a tray.

[Reinholdt]

"Oh." Faust doesn't seem horribly talkative and she doesn't really have any conversation topics herself at the moment. She falls silent and concentrates on eating.

[RabbitHoleLost]

"Oh, oh, no, its not you." Nikolai shook her head vehemently. No, she had met creatures far more frightening than Nora.
"People in general, I guess, kinda scare me. I like people, but there've been some things that have happened in the past, and I guess I just...learned. Strangers aren't always good. I was naive at first." Moving closer, she reached for the tray.
"Anyway I could help?"

[Admiral_Kelly]

Nora finishes pouring the second bowl of soup. She considers Nikolai's request but based on her current state she determines she needs to relax a bit. "No, let me handle it." She produces two spoons from a draw and lays them on the tray. "Do you want to eat in the greatroom?"

[RabbitHoleLost]

Her eyes flickered out of the kitchen for a moment, and she bit her lower lip again. It seemed to be a tic of hers.
"It doesn't matter to me, really."
Though the thought of eating actual food infront of Faust seemed odd to her.

[Raistlin1040]

What about you, what's your name? Faust asks, apparently having not been paying attention when Irene introduced herself.

[Admiral_Kelly]

"I'll carry these inside. You go ahead." Nora says, lifting the tray.

[Reinholdt]

"Me? I believe I'm called Irene si.., er, Rayd." She shakes her head, wondering where that came from. "I only arrived a few days ago."
