week one

[airlockedmods]

Week 1

[After the initial introduction of the Overseers, the Champions were left to their own devices in investigating the part of the ship they have access to to their hearts' content. However, the doors that Blaze Dudely and Rox came through are locked tight and cannot be unlocked via PIP.

On Wednesday morning, the same voice that awakened them the previous morning chirps at them again from their PIPs at 7 am on the dot.



Enjoy your week, Champions.]

Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

[Hmm. She looks at the pack? There's no picture to go with this. But it smells good?

She then leans over the stock]

Huh... But it smells different than it looks.

[stillstands]

It's not going to be gourmet. This stuff is made to last, rather than for quality, flavour, or looks.

[Wow, Miki. You're really sellin' this, huh?]

[newcycle]

[wait, then how old is it?]

Well... I'll try anything at least once.

[stillstands]

[This stuff will probably outlast the sphinx, Korra. and it'll definitely outlast all of them HAHAHAHAH ha haa]

... [Oh. She is after food, then.] Are you going to try heating one, then?

[newcycle]

[her plan has been found out. and so she tilts her head.]

Well...

[stillstands]

[She's just... staring now.. are you seriously trying to get her food, Korra???]

There are plenty of packs over in that box if you want to pick one.

[newcycle]

[why won't you share]

Uh... right.

[this is going to be a DISASTER

so she's gonna start... rifling through them, and somehow grabbing the beef ravioli]

[stillstands]

[because she just spent the morning running up and down the corridor and is hungry? because it's one serving...?!

well it wouldn't be the first disaster this kitchen has seen. let's go.

I can get you a pan, hang on.

[It doesn't take her long to find one and hold it out to Korra.]

[newcycle]

[she takes it and then stares at the package, and the pan. She puts it on the stove, and then looks at the package, before ripping it open and--

so. much.

falls out.]

Wow...

[they have packaged bread too??]

[stillstands]

[And there goes a day's worth of food. Korra... why.

Okay she's just going to let Korra do what she do. Her food is pretty much done, so she's switching off the stove, and pouring the pasta and sauce into a bowl.]

There's a lot there, right?

[And half of it is now on the floor.]

The box says it should cover 24 hours worth of meals and snacks. [She's just going to... sit at this counter and try and make sure that Korra doesn't set the kitchen on fire.]

[newcycle]

[korra has no appreciation for what she's just done. Instead, she's holding the main package, and then ripping it open.

It's... not immediately questionable? But she's never smelled tomatoes featuring so prominently in a dish before.]

That can't be right.

[stillstands]

[Miki takes a bite of her food and chews it almost thoughtfully. It tastes... well. It tastes. It's a bit like canned food, any honestly, that's better than cereal and hard tack any day. It's also the sort of food she's used to.]

It's edible.

It could be worse.

[newcycle]

That's good-- but this definitely doesn't look like a full day's food?

[well, she's turned on the stove and she's making her ravioli. since SOMEONE won't share]

[stillstands]

[Are you kidding her there's loads in there? Says the girl who hasn't seen tonnes of food in ages.]

I think it's built to supply you with energy though? Pasta and carbohydrate based meals give you more energy and keep you fuller for longer.

You probably don't need much.

[There's no way Korra will learn vital reheating-bagged-food skills if Miki does it all for her!!]

[newcycle]

[THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT MIKI

also you're forgiven because the jumpsuit is truly hiding why korra is not impressed with this: aaaaaall that lean muscle]

Are you a food expert?

[she's not being sarcastic, let it be noted. korra is Sincere]

[stillstands]

[Bowchickawowwow...?]

No...? I read the information in the box. Each full meal is listed with a calorie count.

[Hang on, she's up from her seat again and digging around in the stuff Korra dropped everywhere for the paper information...]

Here. It tells you want makes up each meal. It's something like half your recommended daily count in one box.... [she's holding it out to you, Korra. Take the paper of wisdom.]

[newcycle]

[what's a calorie count.

but korra takes the packages, and looks at the information.

There's..... a lot of salt.]

I meant-- I've never thought that much about food! And all this information.

[basically, it means nothing to her]

[stillstands]

You've never read the nutritional information on food before?

[... She's definitely looking Korra up and down. Blessed you must be to eat whatever you want and not think about saturated fat content, oh Avatar.]

[newcycle]

They don't even put this sort of stuff on food back home.

I've always just... had food provided to me. The first time I learned about paying for food was rough, let me tell you.

[stillstands]

[Oh.

... It's weird to think she'd kinda been similar? Living at home, cooking when she had to but with food that her family had purchased. She misses that.]

Sounds nice for you. Not having to worry about buying food, or where it's coming from.

[newcycle]

Is it not like that where you're from?

[she recalls zombies being in her profile as a dislike-- and it's only after talking to Zombina that she could sort of imagine why.]

[stillstands]

Depends. Some people have those worries their whole lives, regardless of financial situation. But normally, food is easy enough to come buy, but most people do buy it.

[She misses that.]

[newcycle]

Oh... [she's still picking up on the worry part... but honestly, that might just be because she hasn't really had to worry about food, ever.]

Okay. I guess... food's never been one of those things I worry about, but I know that there are people who do. It's not like it was when I first left the compound. I've at least been able to see the world.

[stillstands]

[You must be at least rank 2/3 to unlock her tragic currentstory.]

Not having to worry about food is good. It's one thing, but it's such a big one. You can't do much if you're lacking energy, after all.

[And there's something nice about knowing you can pull together a good meal. Something to look forward to.]

The... compound?

[newcycle]

[korra does not follow your persona rank system, deal w it]

Yeah.

And I mean the compound I grew up on-- where I learned most of my bending. They kept me there to protect me from an organization called the Red Lotus, though a lot of good that did.
