"Simple. I shall teach you. Come, it is not far." *The masked figure begins to lead her down the street, ignoring the looks that the unusual duo attract*
-
[b]She walks with her.[/b]
-
[spoiler]Kek. You keep using the feminine pronoun....[/spoiler] *The figure leads Keri off the main streets and down a lit alleyway, headed towards the warehouse district* "You can come to my café. We will clean you up there."
-
Okay. Thank you. [b]Keri continues to follow .[/b]
-
*They arrive several minutes later at a door, set into the side of the wall. The figure knocks a quick pattern, and the door swings open silently* "Welcome back. We will draw up a bath for the young mistress." *An old man in a serving uniform stands just inside of a small hallway, bowing. The figure steps inside, waiting for Keri*
-
[b]She follows you.[/b] Thanks for doing this. [spoiler]Sorry for late post.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Its fine. School?[/spoiler] *The figure lowers their hood, revealing a skull-shaped metal mask that covers their entire head. It turns it's demonic visage to face Keri* "Follow Joan here, he will take you to your rooms where Mother will take care of you."
-
[spoiler]Yeah.[/spoiler] Okay. [b]She follows Joan.[/b]
-
[spoiler]It sucked, doesn't it? I don't have much time, so let's speed this up!!*Time warp!!!*[/spoiler] *Several hours later, the next morning* "Were the rooms and bath favorable?" *Your unknown host sits at the head of the table, breakfast laid out.* [spoiler]Long story short, Keri got a bath, a whole bed, and a full closet all to herself. Feel free to pick out her outfit.[/spoiler]
-
Yeah. [b]She kind of just sits there, staring at the food.[/b] I've never seen this much food in one place before.
-
"Well, after this little feast I will have to be off. Feel free to stay as long as you want." *Your masked host reaches up, and takes off the imposing mask. A mane of dark hair tumbles down their back, and Shiroe grins up at Keri* "Well? Going to eat? I know I am."
-
Y-Yeah. [b]She also takes off her mask, and begins to eat.[/b]
-
*Shiroe digs in as well, mountains of food crumbling before the insatiable hunger of the duo* "I love the smell of 338,463 pancakes in the morning. Smells like victory." *Shiroe pauses with a pancake on her fork, halfway to her mouth* "Oldie but a goodie."
-
Heh. [b]Keri continues eating.[/b] I haven't eaten like this since... Well, ever! This is great!
-
"Of course it is. The chefs here are some of the best I know." *She takes a gulp of OJ* "You see, below us is one of the most prosperous cafés in Neo-Centra."
-
What's it called?
-
"The [i]Laughing Coffin[/i]. Got no idea where the name comes from, but they know how to make food!!"
-
That, I can agree with.
-
"Well, I'm off. Stay as long as you like." *Shiroe gets up out of her seat, pulling the mask back over her head. With a small flourish she sets off, nodding to the waiter at the door as she sets out into the night*
-
[b]Keri also leaves.[/b] ((End))
