002; i'm pulling my questions from my shelf

[truthvalue]

Who: Souji Seta and ... you???
Broadcast: Network; open
Action: Marsiva; kitchen; open
When: The evening of the 12th.

[Souji turns on the camera, gives it an absent glance, then sets it off to the side before returning his attention to the simmering pot on the stove in front of him.]

Seta here ... I have a question. I'm wondering, is it possible - assuming we eventually return to our assigned ships - to transfer to a different one?

[He taps the stirring spoon on the edge of the pot, then replaces the lid and turns the heat down to just below simmer.]

Also, there's a new pot of stew in the kitchen. Please come by if you're hungry.

Comments

[goldenglasses]

I'm sure I will! [Vash takes up a spoon and starts digging in. Hoping it is indeed good.] So, not a big fan of your ship? Or a friend on another ship?

[truthvalue]

[It should be good; Souji was fairly skilled in cooking even before the augment.]

No, I like my shipmates. My cousin's just been brought here, and she's on a different ship. I'd like to stick close to her.

[goldenglasses]

[Thus Vash once again gets lucky in the free food category! Souji unfortunately will now have to deal with a grown man who hasn't learned not to talk while eating. As it's too good to stop so he keeps right on shoveling it in while chatting.]

Oh! Yeah! I can see that! Important for family to stick together! So, who's your cousin?

[truthvalue]

[Souji is too polite to comment on it - in fact, he doesn't even react.]

Her name is Nanako Dojima. Have you met?

[goldenglasses]

[Vash perks up at the name.] Yeah! I know her! She's on my ship! Our new crew member!

[truthvalue]

[He smiles at the news.]

I'm glad to hear that. Please take good care of her.

[goldenglasses]

Don't worry. Everyone on my crew is very nice. She'll be well looked after, but I think we do have one more spare spot open if you did want to be closer to her.

[truthvalue]

Do you know how to ask for a transfer?

[goldenglasses]

Something about forms that are back on the ships. Or at least that's what I heard. Half the time I can't make heads or tails of the forms I found.

[truthvalue]

So I'd need to wait until we're sent back to our ships? I guess that makes sense.

[As much as anything about this place makes sense.]

[goldenglasses]

There may be the forms here too, but to be honest, I haven't been interested in something like that so I haven't looked.

[truthvalue]

That's all right. You've been very helpful, thank you.

[goldenglasses]

Hey! Anything to get another cook as great as you to be bribed to join the ship!

[truthvalue]

No bribe necessary. I'd be happy to cook for everyone, if I could.

[goldenglasses]

Think you can make donuts?

[truthvalue]

[Souji hums thoughtfully for a second, then nods.]

I can certainly try. They won't be exactly what you're used to, but I think they should still be edible.
