Re: day 208

[unbr8kable]

It could be red rice. It could be tasty.

Re: day 208

[stakesthesame]

Does that exist?

Re: day 208

[unbr8kable]

Throw some red beans in there, and it'll be red either way.

Re: day 208

[stakesthesame]

Beans? Aren't they usually white on the inside though?

Re: day 208

[unbr8kable]

I dunno. Who peels a bean, though?

Re: day 208

[stakesthesame]

I dunno... I guess there's cans of like, baked beans, or something. Maybe we can mix those in.

Re: day 208

[unbr8kable]

Beans is beans. You stew 'em for long enough, they all turn the same color. And then you eat 'em over rice.

Re: day 208

[stakesthesame]

I mean, I can't eat 'em, so.

[ pause ]

Do you like that? Or nah, cuz there's no meat.

Re: day 208

[unbr8kable]

They got a flavor either way...right?

And...yeah, I guess? It sounds good, anyways. Can always chuck some meat in if you prefer.

Re: day 208

[stakesthesame]

Nah, I'm thinkin'... I wanna try cooking for you, again. Or like-- learning together. Like we said we would.

Re: day 208

[unbr8kable]

...That'd be fun. To make something, if you wanted.

Re: day 208

[stakesthesame]

I wanna! ... if you wanna.

Re: day 208

[unbr8kable]

Yeah... I mean, if you want.

Re: day 208

[stakesthesame]

We're just gonna keep going in circles at this rate.

Re: day 208

[unbr8kable]

Probably...

[Takes a deeper breath, then nods, more decisive]

Alright, let's do it. Tomorrow? ...Or, whenever you're hungry, I guess.

Re: day 208

[stakesthesame]

Maybe-- in a couple of days?

[ hesitates a moment, then touches her chest, with a sheepish smile. ]

Woke up kinda achey, so-- I wanna try to sleep it off, a bit.

Re: day 208

[unbr8kable]

Okay...

[angles her head; pauses. then, hesitant:]

...You never said what happened...?

Re: day 208

[stakesthesame]

... yeah, I figured we'd get back around to it...

Um, all of what I said before was true. Just, didn't last all that long when the things invaded. That's all.

Re: day 208

[unbr8kable]

[her expression fades]

You guys didn't...beat 'em back...?

Re: day 208

[stakesthesame]

I'm pretty sure the others did okay, I just...

[ ... shrugs, weakly waving a hand. ]

Hurricane and that suits chick didn't have their suits on so I acted as a distraction 'til they could get fixed up.

Re: day 208

[unbr8kable]

Oh...

[sighs, then reaches out, for her hand at least]

Was it fast, at least...?

Re: day 208

[stakesthesame]

[ lets her take it, gently curling her fingers against her. ]

... nah. Went down fighting.

Not like I regret it. Sucks, but they prolly wouldn'ta got their suits on if I didn't.

Re: day 208

[unbr8kable]

[Pulls it closer, hand a little clammy]

Yeah...still.

Re: day 208

[stakesthesame]

[ not moving from her spot, yet-- not out of stubbornness or anything, just. y'know. being cautious. nem can move closer if that's what she's looking for. ]

... you're cold. You okay?

Re: day 208

[unbr8kable]

Prolly'd be at least a little better if my best friend's brain hadn't beefed my girlfriend, but guess that's life. More importantly... you okay?
