I live alone, so it's not like I NEEDED space for more than one person. A hot plate is not a suitable substitute for a kitchen, Rean.

Sounds great! You might have to explain to me what I'm eating but I'd be happy to try stuff!

[motiv8]

There's a sink and a microwave in the common area, and I can cook what I need to on a hot plate! Besides, I'm on a meal plan, so it's not even like I need to cook for myself that often!

[...Rean's just bad at cooking, isn't he.]

Haha, no problem. It's not like there should be anything that wild, but I can explain anything you don't understand.

[fiddlestick]

I am really worried about your diet.

[Rean. REAN PLEASE]

[motiv8]

I get my fruits and vegetables.

Besides, I've seen the ramen in your cabinet, you don't get to talk.

[fiddlestick]

Those are EMERGENCY rations!

And I'm trying to get better! Have to be a good role model for the kids and all that.

[motiv8]

I'm still trying to eat healthy-ish, I just don't cook for myself that often!

But it's not like I'm completely out of options if I do.

See?

I have a rice cooker, too, so I can make a couple of quick things for myself if I get home after the cafeteria's closed.

[fiddlestick]

[.....]

Rean none of those dishes you linked look remotely appetizing.

I'm making you a list of recipes.

[motiv8]

I mean, yeah, but the stuff I make turns out better looking than that!

[...]

Fine, fine. I'll always take an excuse to branch out, anyway.

[fiddlestick]

Haha, great! Don't worry, I was already preparing to give one of my students cooking lessons over the summer - so I'll just take some of the easy recipes from that!

[YOU GET THE BABY RECIPES REAN. As is approriate]]

Alsooo, once I get a nicer place, you're welcome to come over for dinner anytime!

[motiv8]

Wow, just the easy ones? Such little faith...

But yeah, okay, sounds like a plan. Let me know when you do get a nicer place, too. I... can't imagine you have too much stuff to move given the closet you're currently occupying, but I can at least help move the bed.

[fiddlestick]

You're the one cooking with a hot plate and living off cafeteria food. I say it's a measured amount of faith.

Aw thanks Rean! Though you don't have to worry about moving the bed! The frame and mattress both came with this apartment. You can't get it out even if you tried.

[....]

Don't say it.

[This apartment really is hell and he knows it]

[motiv8]

Hey, the meal plan's already paid for! It'd be a waste not to eat there, right? Besides, if you're careful, there's plenty of stuff that won't give you food poisoning and actually tastes pretty good.

[Rean's player regrets to add that this is precisely what their own university cafeteria was like. And also, that they'd still willingly go back and eat there, because the alfredo pasta really was good.

Anyway, as for the rest of that... Rean just stares at his phone for a good long moment, then replies.]

All right, so, no moving the plywood board you're probably sleeping on, got it.

I will instead start setting aside a fund to buy you a real bed, and once we can get that for you, I'll help you move that in. Sound like a plan?

[fiddlestick]

[sflksdf REAN]

Uh, should there really be a risk for food poisoning...?

[!!!]

What?! You don't have to buy me a bed!

[Its not like you're gonna sleep in it!! I mean-]

[motiv8]

Ask Kaisou U, not me.

Well, what else are you going to sleep on? Besides, all my stuff is paid for. I just do odd jobs to keep myself occupied, really.

[fiddlestick]

Well, I can still turn into a cat....so I was planning to just get one of those cheap cat beds until I could save up enough for a real one.

In other words, I'm covered!

[....Yeah. Great plan there Elliot]

[motiv8]

...

Yeah so anyway I'm definitely at least helping you buy you a real bed.

[fiddlestick]

Oh c'mon it's a good idea!!!

[No it's not]

Fine! But I'm paying you back! And I'm setting a budget!

[motiv8]

It's a terrible idea for your back in human form!

Fine. I can work with that. Even if it's a cheap mattress, it's gotta be better than plywood or a cat bed.

[fiddlestick]

True, I guess I do shift sometimes in sleep without meaning to.

[If you think bed hair is bad, imagine waking up as a furry]

Alright. Thank you, Rean.

[motiv8]

Yeah. I do, too. Both ways... I've tried sleeping as a cat before, because I just couldn't get comfortable one night. Good news, I got comfortable. Bad news, I woke up in a really weird position and as a human.

You're welcome.

[fiddlestick]

Haha, yeouch! That must've hurt. And it's too bad too, because I bet you all curled up as a cat looks really cute.

[Look you can say it when you are also cursed]

[motiv8]

Eh... you think? I guess I've never really thought about it.

[It's fine, Rean's too dumb for this to be gay.]

Although I guess I was cute enough as a cat to convince a guy to give me strawberries in the Fae forest...

[fiddlestick]

Are you kidding? A black cat with a little white patch? You'd go viral online, Rean!

[But maybe don't do that there's a lot of weirdos and lets not attract attention]

Who gave you strawberries?

[motiv8]

Um… Tsukasa, I think is his name?

And maaaaybe, on the viral internet cat thing. It’s just hard to imagine.

[…]

Did I ever show you why I have that white patch in cat form?

[fiddlestick]

Oh! I know Tsukasa! He's one of my students in my senior class. He's a good guy.

Haha, yeah don't worry I'm not saying you have to try to go viral. I know I'm not.

[way too embarrassing]

No, I don't think you did! There's a reason for it?
