You can make anything into soup. Eat it with bread and it makes a pretty filling meal.

If you put pasta in it you don't even need separate bread.

[cupidsammo]

[ .... nods ]

I guess we're winging it. [ no pun intended on her end... ] Then— Let's see. Vegetables? Potatoes and carrots are the usual... Oh, and onion, too?

[boxcar]

That sounds good. Meat would be nice.

[ Looks at options. ]

Is chicken okay?

[cupidsammo]

Chicken's fine! I can chop the vegetables in the meantime, if you'd like to work on that.

[boxcar]

Okay.

[ Just takes a whole-ass fridge chicken.

He doesn't bother with doing the whole knife to cut the chicken into appropriately sized pieces thing. Starts breaking it into chunks with his hands. Clean hands he's not an animal. ]

[cupidsammo]

[ Okay good but also like

dude.......

and here she is actually chopping the veggies into appropriate sized pieces ]

[boxcar]

[ You wanna say sumthin



At least he fills the pot with water in a normal way. Opens a tin of herbs and smells it. He knows just barely enough to make sure this isn't just hot ham water. Sorry it's a very quiet cooking session. ]

[cupidsammo]

[ no sir you are very large and i am so very small

but it's okay, she gets the job done in the meantime. eventually she comes over with the haul. ]

This should be enough, I think. Should I put it in?

[boxcar]

Yeah, go ahead.

[ He'll put the lid on after. ]

Do you want pasta with it or bread?

[ Apparently the only two options. ]

[cupidsammo]

[ APPARENTLY! ]

Oh, we should do pasta! I haven't had any in a while.

[boxcar]

Okay. Looks like we have a lot of it which is good. I already thought we weren't in danger of starving with everyone ordering so much from the cafe but it's even better than I thought.

[ Getting out a bag of shell pasta. Hell yeah! ]

[cupidsammo]

[ PASTA ]

Isn't it? I can't believe we're allowed to have so much of it! Who's paying for all of this?

[boxcar]

......

Well if we are dead...

[ They... don't have to pay taxes... right? ]

[cupidsammo]

So that makes everything free?

[boxcar]

I think so.

I have not seen a payment box.

Even then, I would take what is necessary to survive.

[ It's not like they're starving right now but it's also not like they're stealing luxury products. ]

[cupidsammo]

[ Though she looks uncertain, Koharu eventually relents. ]

Yeah, I guess so... I'm kind of worried about it coming back to bite us, but nobody else seems that concerned.

[boxcar]

Don't worry. If something wants to bite, I'll punch it.

[ Problems? Solved. ]

[cupidsammo]

[ w- whoa ]

I'd really believe you could seriously mess someone up with just one hit, too.

[boxcar]

The less punches needed, the better. If your opponent can't get back up then that's how you win.

[cupidsammo]

That makes sense. It probably goes without saying, but I'm not a hard hitter myself.

[boxcar]

That's okay. I can punch things for you.

Just stay close if something dangerous appears.

[cupidsammo]

[ —!! ]

I'll be sure to do that! But at least it doesn't seem dangerous here.

[boxcar]

No, and with luck it will stay that way.

[ Forces this soup to be ready. Checking in and getting a bowl. Veggie chicken stock pasta baby!!! It has a perfectly okay taste. Truly college but at home type meal. ]

[cupidsammo]

It's probably fine.

[ Five minute soup let's go. She'll def help herself to a serving in a bowl, aaaand nom. ]

—Phew! This is really refreshing after a day of endless burgers.

[boxcar]

How many burgers could you have eaten in a day?

[ He isn't the type to get sick of the same food easily so he just dealt with it. ]

Is it good?
