who stole your heart and the key?

[steelmyself]

In the dark, you taste something sweet and tart on your tongue, almost like apple but not quite: pomegranate juice, out of nowhere. A hint of something metallic accompanies it.

You fall down.

Re: THE HOUSE

There's a hint of indignation to the puppet's otherwise monotonous tone as it sets the food down with utensils. "It's a meal."

Re: THE HOUSE

It's only one component of a breakfast. Haku, this is an omelette. Eggs aren't a meal.

[She says, but she opens it up to eat it anyway.]

... Ah, it's stuffed.

Re: THE HOUSE

[steelmyself]

"Eggs are an important part of a meal. There's rice and chicken inside as well. Obviously."

His voice sounds a little more human now.

[There's a while without any response, because she's too busy eating to keep insisting omurice isn't real people food. When she puts her spoon down for the last time, the plate's basically clean.]

It was delicious, thank you. Now, where is the rest of the meal?

Re: THE HOUSE

[steelmyself]

There's a pause. When the puppet speaks again, its voice is more monotonous once more. "You have a quest you're on, don't you? A journey...you can't take the time out to eat an entire feast."

[... Goes a little pink]

Ah, but -

[This is fun. Sitting in a real (fake, real-looking, whatever) house eating a meal is fun. She missed this.]

I suppose that's true... ah, but if that's the case, won't you make me a snack to eat during my travels?

Re: THE HOUSE

[steelmyself]

"...all right."

The puppet doesn't take much convincing before it gets up and heads into the kitchen again. A few minutes later, it returns with a paper bag, which it sets neatly down in front of Elaine. The bag is full of riceballs.

Re: THE HOUSE

[Peeking into the bag -]

... It's more rice. You certainly seem to enjoy rice, Haku. Is that true for the you outside of this place as well?

Re: THE HOUSE

[steelmyself]

It speaks blandly. "It's a useful foodstuff. I could have made you omusoba instead, though."

Re: THE HOUSE

[unaffective]

Omelette soba? Soba is a type of noodle - is that correct?

[Wait a second.]

I suppose that I should be leaving. Please tell me more about this omelette rice in the future.

Re: THE HOUSE

[steelmyself]

"That's correct." It pauses. "Please move on and stay safe here in Hell, Elaine."

Re: THE HOUSE

[unaffective]

If you make me this omusoba later, then I'll be certain to stay safe!

[Well. She's leaving anyway though. She waves and makes for the door.]
