[Nexus] HALO 174: Just when you think you're not in Kansas anymore, turns out you are

[Beans]

She is a sucker for scritchies. Nirva snuggles close, purring happily!

[The Bushranger]

And Andy knows it and will relentlessly and mercilessly use it to mutual advantage.
Scritch scritch scritch!

[Beans]

You're awful for being so desirable, dammit...
She growls just a little, enjoying the pampering.

[The Bushranger]

"It's my curse to bear," Andy declares, managing to sound completely straight-faced and serious.

[Beans]

Nirva lets herself nuzzle Andy's face.
Poor you.

[The Bushranger]

That gets an eep and a giggle from the bard, and she squeezes Nirva snuggly!

[Beans]

She hugs back, blushing hard.

[The Bushranger]

Andy giggles, giving the top of her head a kiss.
"Want to go back and see what the others are up to?"

[Beans]

Yeah, but... like, don't tell anyone we had this conversation.
She blushes. Don't wanna lose that hard-earned aloof cred!

[Mee]

Welp!
Civvy's back around. Apparently in the kitchen today, grating a rather large chunk of cheese over a large bowl of chips.

[The Bushranger]

Yeah, but... like, don't tell anyone we had this conversation.
She blushes. Don't wanna lose that hard-earned aloof cred!

"Deal."
Of course, Andy will tell ALL THE EVERYONE.

A DRD, meanwhile, watches Civvy.

[Beans]

Thanks.
...
Love you.
I mean uh. Dumbass.
Gotta keep the kuudere cred!

[Mee]

A DRD, meanwhile, watches Civvy.

Civvy's adding, as the DRD might notice, quite a lot of Pepperjack cheese.
Because pepperjack is the best cheese.

[The Bushranger]

"Love you too. Uncute," Andy retorts. Still grinning.

***

Pepperjack is good. but Munster is better. *nodnod*
The DRD deedle-doops in statement of this fact.

[Mee]

Pepperjack is good. but Munster is better. *nodnod*
The DRD deedle-doops in statement of this fact.

Civvy, being unable to understand deedle-boops, decides that she should just add more cheese.

[InyutheBeatIs]

A Christopher Grimm has appeared in the base, wandering about fairly aimlessly.

[The Bushranger]

Ahhhhh, the power of cheese!

The DRD rolls off in disgust.
Pepper jack! Indeed! Kids these days...

[Beans]

Nirva grumbles pleasantly and follows closely next to Andy, starting to wonder things.

[Mee]

Well, Civvy shoves the plate of chips into the oven, and sets it on broil.
It'll be amazing.

[The Bushranger]

Chips start baking.


Smell starts spreading.


Suddenly a WILD DANI appears!
"Ooooooh whatcha cooking?"
WILD DANI uses PUPPY-DOG EYES!

***

Andy ponders what Nirva is pondering.

[Mee]

Chips start baking.


Smell starts spreading.


Suddenly a WILD DANI appears!
"Ooooooh whatcha cooking?"
WILD DANI uses PUPPY-DOG EYES!

"Amazingly delicious chippiechips. With cheese."
Civvy says, kneeling to watch the cheese melt.

[The Bushranger]

Aw, they're not SUPER EFFECTIVE?


"Oooooooh. Got enough for two?" Dani asks, scooting over for a look as well.

Or four, given how she eats...

[Mee]

Aw, they're not SUPER EFFECTIVE?


"Oooooooh. Got enough for two?" Dani asks, scooting over for a look as well.

Or four, given how she eats...

". . . probably?"
There was more than enough cheese, at least, to feet multiple Danis.

Civvy likes her cheese.

[The Bushranger]

It's not easy.
Bein' cheesy.

Dani's grin just grows, and the tiny redhead bounces in anticipation of the POWER OF CHEESE.

[Mee]

It's not easy.
Bein' cheesy.

Dani's grin just grows, and the tiny redhead bounces in anticipation of the POWER OF CHEESE.

And after a few minutes, out comes the plate full of cheese!

With some chips hidden down in there somewhere.
Somewhere.

[The Bushranger]

Dani, somehow, manages not to dive in and get her tongue burned off.
But the temptation is strong.
"...you need to teach me your recipe!"

[Mee]

But the temptation is strong.
"...you need to teach me your recipe!"

"Well, the trick is to not burn all of it to the point of being black.

That's all.

Yeah."

[The Bushranger]

Dani nods, taking this as Great Wisdom.

...then samples the cheese and chips.

And nearly faints from pleasure overload as her taste buds go into overdrive.

[Beans]

Nirva gives Andy a little smirk and puts an arm around her shoulders.
