week one

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.]

I'm not really much of a cook either. I can make soup for a lot of people, or...cook meat on a fire, that's really it.

[Basically anything quick and filling for people on the move.]

Why didn't they just make soup for us?

[photoshooter]

I dunno. Variety, maybe? And I think a lot of people would get hungry fast afterwards if all they had was soup.

[Not Prompto, though. Prompto watches his portions religiously.]

[challengesfate]

[If only we all took Prompto's example.]

Hm...I suppose that's true. I don't think I could get bored of soup very easily, though.

[photoshooter]

[If only we all had a cool prince to impress.]

Yeah? Is it your favorite food or something?

[challengesfate]

It's...kind of a luxury for me. To be able to spend enough time in one place to actually cook it would imply that things were safe...but they rarely are.

[She likes soup enough to point it out to Chrom when they're looking for a place in a town to have something to eat - but then bandits were impersonating him, and people thought he was a brigand, you know how it goes.]

[photoshooter]

[Well, that sobers him up. He thinks about it a moment, which is really all the time it takes for them to finally make it to the cafeteria.]

Yeah. I... guess I know what you mean.

[Will he ever be able to enjoy Iggy's cooking again, laughing with the others around the campfire? Dammit, Argentum, snap out of it.]

Well! I really can't cook to save my life, but when we get out of here, maybe the first thing we should do is have a great big cookout to celebrate before we all go on our ways.

[challengesfate]

[That gives her pause, a flicker of something unreadable in her eyes. Could...could he really know what it's like? To constantly be on the move, fighting for one's life every day?

...

This is really no place to ask.]

A cookout...that might be interesting. I'd like that.

[photoshooter]

[She Might Be Surprised.]

It'd be fun! We could have a big campfire, sit out under the stars... all that good stuff.

...

Though I really hope someone other than me does most of the cooking. I can clean up after.

[challengesfate]

[It'll sure be an interesting Talk that's for sure]

I'll help clean up too. The things I'm used to...they're probably too bland for the others' tastes.

[photoshooter]

Hey, I like soup. And if it's not spicy enough for me, I'll just put pepper in! Bam, problem solved.

[Prompto, pepper can't fix everyth... well, okay, no, it can, this is my professional opinion as a bachelor.]

[challengesfate]

[I mean as a millenial stuck at home I prefer pepper over salt anyway]

Then, I suppose...so long as I wasn't the only one eating it, I could try to make some. I do know how to make a lot at once.

[It's no Ignis-quality recipeh but it keeps you going after a long march.]

[photoshooter]

Then it's a date! One no-holds-barred post-breakout cookout, starring everyone's culinary talents and my killer dishwashing skills.

[Why isn't his title Champion Dork?]

[challengesfate]

[Because that wouldn't be nearly as soul-crushing.

That actually gets Lucina to laugh softly, a smile edging up the corners of her mouth. It's weird, how here, it feels like she's smiled more than she has in a lifetime, despite the anxiety of the unfamiliar and the overhanging dread of not returning home in time.]

I'll be looking forward to it.
