I can't make any hasty decisions. Depending on how I answer this - that'll effect Karura's mood. By extension, MY mood. Think carefully about what you say next, Elizabeth. Think very carefully. "Alright, alright, I'll take a bite of whatever you've made. If I like it, I'll eat it then give you a little prize."
"Really?" Karura's lips curve into something devious.
"Yeah, really." I plop my rear onto the side of my bed.
"Yes! Alright, here you go." my familiar shuffles to the side of the room in haste to grab a small silver dome. "Close your eyes." she pleads.
With nothing else left to lose, I do as she says. My eyes clothes.
"Now OPEN them!"
There in front of my eyes is a scrumptious looking chocolate cake. Blue frosting circles around the outside of the cape and a cherry is in the very center. "W-whoa." I try to hide my astonishment but it's too much for me to keep in.
"You like?~" Karura smiles proudly at her work and rightfully so. This thing looks amazing.
I grab the fork setting on the silver dish and take a bit-...
...
... ...
This is dirt. I lick the blue frosting and it's tooth paste.
My teeth chatter. My face turns red.
I feel the flame of rage grow from the abyss. "What?" my Soul Aura grins ear to ear. "Your teeth need to be brushed to. Why not combine both breakfast and bathroom time?"
"R-right." calm down.
If you hurt Karura, you hurt yourself. If you smash her, it's not going to be good and she could PROBABLY hurt you without receiving pain herself. Breath, think and move.
"This sucks, by the way Karura. You're a shitty cook but if you want to make ACTUAL food in the future, I'll taste test it so you don't end up killing someone." I don't say anything else. I turn away from Karura and run for the door before she can say anything.
----------------------------
I never got to check the time but judging by the sun, it's about lunch time. Usually I eat lunch with Agnes in her room after classes. Since today is a day of rest for the students - I'm going to go hit her up for lunch.
"Agnes!" I'm facing Agnes' dorm door right now. I look up and down just to do something while I wait for her to answer. Still the same light brown door with no changes. What did I want to find by looking at it? Eh, good question. My eyes just sort of wander. "Hey!"
"It's open!" she takes a little while to answer.
"Alright." I prop my hand to the knob and turn.
There she is in all of her ditzy glory. Holding a staff filled with flowers and her dingy Soul Aura flying around in circles at the top of the small, cramped room. "Ohhh, Liz. How are you doing today?"
"Better than ever." I make sure to put some extra sarcasm in my voice for this special occasion.
"Doesn't sound like it." Agnes bundles flowers together with a band while looking up at me. Her ability to multi-task is certainly something. "Want to talk about it?"
"Not really, no." I walk into the room, shut the door and fall onto her bed with both arms stretched out like I'm being crucified.
"I'm going to guess it has to do with Karura." she hits the nail on the money.
"Yep."
"Food?"
"How did you guess?"
"Intuition." she finishes with the flower bundle. She gets up to set it on the desk at the foot of the bed. "So you're in luck." after that she sits down on the bed right beside me. "I'm about to have lunch though not sure where. Want to choose?"
>Let's just eat here in the room. Crack open the window and let's get to eating.
>We can go back to my room. Maybe Karura will get the memo and learn how to cook RIGHT and stop teasing me.
>Let's eat outside - it's getting a bit stuffy in here.
>Want to see if there's anything in the cafeteria?
