Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.

[carnivorously]

[Well, that was one hell of a trial. Kogami’s tired and hungry. He’ll get his staple hamburgers, but maybe he’ll be nice enough to help make some for everyone.

So there’s a note that goes out:]

Food in the dining hall – K, P, Q, & R

[It’s quickly written and straightforward.

And indeed there is food. There’s a shitton of hamburgers made by Kogami and Rose, the sliced cheese prepared by Pizzaz, and cake by QQ. Pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise and other such condiments are set out as well as an assortment of buns.

There’s not lighted candles this time, so it’s clear that the usual preparers didn’t help with this ‘buffet’. (Well, if it wasn’t clear with the note).

So rest, relax, and well, you’re probably going to have to get your own drinks this time, sorry…]

The cheese platter may be the only good thing about this.

[Hell, with how fast he flipped hamburgers, he can't even promise those are good...]

Since, you're right, there's nothing comforting about this. We look like we're just having an old fashioned barbecue party.

[ ... ]

It would probably be in bad taste to say "At least we didn't go with a pool party," but now that I had the thought, that's all I can think of for a response.

[carnivorously]

I wouldn't have eaten anything if we made it a pool party.

[God, he's pretty sure he won't be going near the pool for a bit. Thanks Gant...]

[arebetter]

I'm not sure anyone would.

[ She was already kind of lowkey avoiding it, so. rip. ]

[carnivorously]

[Heh...]

There is a lot of truth to that.

[arebetter]

At least we have location down. That's one point in our favor.

[ "Not As Terrible a Party as You Could Have Thrown!" ]

[carnivorously]

That it is. Probably another point in our favor that we bothered to throw one when it didn't look like anyone was going to.

[They're both assholes who have a little bit of a heart!]

[arebetter]

[ A little bit! Somewhere in there. ]

Yeah. Look at us go. And our food doesn't suck, even if we didn't make ten different kinds.

[carnivorously]

If people want to bitch about a lack of variety they should have helped.

[THAT SIMPLE, REALLY. At least to Kogami, even if this was an exhausting day.]

[arebetter]

Exactly. So we did just fine in my book.

[carnivorously]

I guess so. At least people aren't starving-- or if they do, there's no excuse.

[Let's go team, they should be proud of themselves! Now that he thinks about it.]

[arebetter]

Exactly. We even have a cake!

[carnivorously]

A meal and a dessert. A shame we didn't make an appetizer.

[A beat.]

Though the cheese could count for that.

[arebetter]

We don't have candles, but we're covered where it counts.

[carnivorously]

We certainly do.

[He gives her a rather forceful pat on the back.]

Good job, team.
