IT'S TIME

setting info is here but feel free to make up your own shit, driving this hopeboat is a group effort

Cyntha | SHSL Heroine | Fire Emblem: Awakening | Kitchen

[thejusticewagon]

[Did the trial happen? ...didn't it happen? Cynthia... has been getting conflicting memories.

Nevertheless, everyone seems fine so it's clearly nothing that any of them would need to worry about! ...but after yelling about some pastries Cynthia has sort of felt obligated to provide them as part of a "wow something weird is going on but at least we're okay" celebration. Rhubarb pies, made with her mom's secret recipe!

So, she has all the ingredients ready, and just needs to take care of

....

the silverwear. Is it there? ...is it there after having been stuffed down Dan's pants? Unwashed? Did that actually happen in reality?

...Anyone who walks in will find the ingredients on the table and Cynthia looking at a silverware drawer in trepidation.]

[spacetimeapplications]

You okay there? [Have a Betty looking curious.]

[thejusticewagon]

I... mostly don't know what I'm going to find in there, honestly...

Gosh, all this memory stuff is so weird! Is the silverware gone? Is it there? Is it there after having been shoved down some gross weirdo's pants?

I don't know if I want to find out what it is!

[loveisanopendoor]

...

Need some help there, Cynthia? What's the matter, is the silverware drawer looking at you funny..?

[thejusticewagon]

I...

I don't know what horrors lurk within! It's taking all my heroic fortitude to be in the same room as that silverware drawer!

[loveisanopendoor]

...

Come to think of it, I don't exactly know if it's worth the risk either. Is it worth it to take our chances? Even if there is something in there...should we give them a good wash just to make sure? I'd rather not have to worry about that sort of thing.

[thejusticewagon]

...I think we should wash them twice, actually...

...and maybe have the priest exorcise them for good measure.

[loveisanopendoor]

...

Yeah, that's probably not a bad idea. Who knows what kind of horrible mutated bacteria these poor little forks and spoons might have met...I'd be kinda surprised they lived to tell the tale.

[thejusticewagon]

...I'm really surprised the forks and spoons haven't just melted or rusted... do you know if this place has any super strong cleaning stuff?

[loveisanopendoor]

I wish I can tell you. If we look in the broom closet, maybe we can find some kind of insta-clean thing, and everything will be chrome.

[thejusticewagon]

...yes, the broom closet, of course!

You'll join me on my quest, won't you, Anna?

[uncoverthetruth]

[Oh, it's winged horse girl. And... why is she staring at the silverware drawer. Is she scared something's going to come out of it? He feels kind of bad for disbelieving her before, considering some of the other things he's seen since running into her -- maybe winged horses are a real thing in her world, and she's not mad after all.]

[Quietly, Keiichi tries to creep up behind her. If he succeeds, he'll be shouting "BOO!" right into her ear! ...And if he fails, well, we'll find out.]

[thejusticewagon]

[That does not have the desired effect, but it... certainly has an effect.

We'll say that.

So, Cynthia whirls around, prepared to punch out a ghost!]

You won't haunt me, vile spirit! For I ---

[...then she sees who it is.]

Oh, hi, ... ummm...

[...SHE SEEMS MORE NERVOUS ABOUT THE FACT THAT SHE CAN'T REMEMBER HIS NAME THAN GHOSTS]

[uncoverthetruth]

[Keiichi jumped back as soon as she turned around; no matter what she did, he'd be high-tailing it out of there, in case she whipped around and punched him in the face.]

[And for a second, it looked like she would punch him in the face, so Keiichi makes a defensive stance accordingly.]

[Once she falters, though, he drops it, and starts smiling. Cynthia, your nervousness is adorable to him.]

Maebara. Keiichi Maebara.

[His grin takes on a decidedly twisted slant.]

Did I scare you?

[thejusticewagon]

Hmm... I don't think scare is the right word, honestly! I'm not afraid of any ghosts, you know.

[she says brightly.]

Of course, I may have been startled into giving you a taste of my Falcon Knight Punch!

[uncoverthetruth]

Falcon Knight Punch, huh? Now I'm curious!

[thejusticewagon]

Hey, now, I couldn't just demonstrate it on the innocent! It's one of my spectacular finishing moves, where I bring evildoers to justice and smite them with everything I've got!

[devoursall]

[whispers] It is yet unclean, little one.

[thejusticewagon]

...

Oh, no... what do we do about it? I guess we could all eat pie with our hands, but that would be kind of messy...

[blackmass]

...

There is truly a great evil lurking within that drawer. Even my power may not be enough to cleanse such impurity.

[Now he's just fucking with you.]

[thejusticewagon]

Oh, come on! What kind of Super High School Level Exorcist are you if you can't excise the demons that were in that guy's pants?

[...it's really hard to tell if she's sincere but she probably is]

[scallopstrategist]

[Hey, Cynthia. Guess who couldn't resist sneaking up behind you, since you made it so easy with your look of trepidation and horror at the silverware? Spoiler, it's Jay.]

I would bleach the contents of that entire drawer if I were you. [Since, you know, Dan stuffed them down his pants.]

[thejusticewagon]

[THIS ACTUALLY STARTLES HER A BIT maybe because

jay...]

...You know...

[...but she has to admit...]

That's... actually a really good idea. Do you know where they keep that stuff?

[angry_jerk]

[Cue an angry short guy bursting into the kitchen angrily. Spotting Cynthia, he growls.]

RETURN MY WEAPONS AT ONCE!

[thejusticewagon]

[Oh.

Just who she wanted to see.]

Like heck I will! If anything, I think you should have to wash all of those yourself!
