[ dinner mingle! ]
[After a hard day's work, it's time for dinner. And there's food a cookin' in the shared kitchens of Squall Asylum. It might even smell better than you'd expect, because a bunch of rations put together makes a little more than a few cold potatoes alone. And face it, with Lacus around making wine out of water (or as close to it as possible, judging by the "feast") it's bound to be a good time.

So take forth your delicious food and eat as a group. After all, social interaction's awesome. We may not have beaches to luau on but the same people are hanging out and ought to stay closely knit despite the circumstances. Be a recluse if you want to, but you won't get far eating plain rice alone. Join in!

Dinner consists of an assortment of simple dishes prepared by Lacus creatively despite ration restrictions. Some of the dishes offered include a rice and beans dish, cabbage stew, fried rice with the veggies, and a very simple carrot bread.

And for you folks who go to the dark side, there will be a chicken dish as well though Rebecca will be giving it and partakers of it slightly irritated side glances for a multitude of reasons.]

(OOC: So if you didn't hear on day 221 ('yesterday'), Rebecca had been cheerfully suggesting a ration-share program to make a lot of something out of a little nothing. Whether you responded or not, feel free to hand wave if your character joined in by donating some of their rations to be made into meals likely at the hands of talented chef Lacus.

This mingle is solely about day 222 dinner, but also feel free to hand wave that breakfast and lunch were similarly made for those who participated. And if you didn't participate? Well, feel free to crash & eat your own food with the group or sneak a few bites. There might not be tons to go around, but it's doubtful anyone will turn you down.

Notifs are off but I'll be surfing the post & Becks'll have her own post down below.)

[Tieria glanced up at the voice and practically smiled at who was joining him. He was very much relieved to see that Peggy had made it through the transfer and even more so to see that she appeared to be relatively unharmed. He merely nodded at her questions then, instead focusing on what, in his mind, was more important.]

I am glad to see you made it.

[More like he was glad to see her, but he wasn't going to admit that he had somewhat selfish motivations there.]

[ and what questions might be even more prevalent? Although perhaps he's right. Peggy's concerns are rather of the more mundane variety at the moment. ]

Yes, I'm rather glad myself even if these are not the best circumstances, perhaps, to give thanks in.

[ She nodded to Tieria, careful to keep thoughts of Tear's news about the secret storage building deep underground the original Marina from rising to the surface. ]

Have you been treated well? [ she's heard strange stories after all. Such as the hair that suddenly became undyed. Such a travesty indeed. ]

For now. It is probably best to cooperate for now until we can better ascertain the details of the situation. I have been careful to not get caught up in any trouble at this point.

[He poked half-heartedly at the food. It was better than expected, at least, and while he generally didn't indulge in things that were more than simply necessary and nutritious, his appetite wasn't at full force since his attention was mostly focused on the crisis situation.]

	[ she nodded in agreement ] Wise words for anyone who wishes to ensure their survival. [ she raised a glass of poorly made tea ] To our continued health and may tomorrow brings us ever closer to returning to our usual lives. [ no matter how far distant that may be. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[That got a small smile out of him, and he nodded, tapping his own glass of water against hers.] Indeed. I agree. [He took a small sip, holding back the grimace at how stale it tasted.] Has everyone made it over? [He still in the process of making a list of the missing.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ her whole body felt stiff as those words fell on her and she covered up the brief moment by setting her cup down softly, the care in such a movement diverting herself momentarily from the truth. ]

I'm afraid not. One of my fellow companions seems to have been mislaid.

[ or disposed of. She wasn't sure where such people go when the system grows tired of their presence. Based on her experience, they do not survive. ]

	[He looked down for a moment, suddenly feeling badly that he had asked.] I am sorry. [He had lost someone close to him in the previous transfer... from Marina to MarinaNova. He knew the feeling, and he knew it wasn't a pleasant one.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pure_confidence 2013-07-05 05:56 pm UTC (link)
	[ her smile was tight and brief but nonetheless there. ] Please, don't be. He was already long since lost where I come from. [ and then she just blithely took another bite of her food, careful to keep from spilling a drop. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2013-07-05 06:26 pm UTC (link)
	[And that was painfully familiar.] I understand. [He focused on his food for a moment, suddenly at a loss for words.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pure_confidence 2013-07-05 06:50 pm UTC (link)
	[ and after yet a longer moment of silence, Peggy quietly dabbed at her lip, brushing off a smidgeon of grease from her lip. ] And you? I do hope you haven't lost anyone in the transfer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2013-07-05 06:52 pm UTC (link)
	[He looked up at her for a moment, hesitated, and then shook his head slightly.] No. Not this time. [He'd been lucky.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pure_confidence 2013-07-05 07:10 pm UTC (link)
	[ she released a breath she had not been aware of holding. ] A small favor then; it would seem, however, that a great many of us were transferred over. Perhaps they'll return in a day or two. [ unlikely, but one can still hope. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2013-07-06 12:34 am UTC (link)
	That is possible. Especially if this is, as they claim, temporary. Perhaps those who did not land here with us are temporarily in another facility. [It was better odds than the previous transfer and disappearances.] Certainly more pleasant to consider than some of the alternatives. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pure_confidence 2013-07-13 07:21 pm UTC (link)
	[ she nodded, even if she doubted they would return. She had seen the number of beds; there was still room enough here for more. ] If such is true, I do hope their wardens are vastly more agreeable then those we've been granted. They've certainly been more... adherent to the schedule. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2013-07-15 03:19 am UTC (link)
	[He had his doubts as well, but was choosing not to voice them for now.] Indeed. Today's planned activities were... interesting. [To say the least.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pure_confidence 2013-07-19 04:04 am UTC (link)
	Then let us hope tomorrow will be a day of leisure and not servitude. [ although she didn't mind it terribly. It was the simple day to day life of a soldier. That was all. the... bathing however, could use improvement. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[If they were still stuck here, he highly doubted that would happen. He still nodded all the same, though. He was used to working hard with long hours as well, but they still got moments of downtime.]

Indeed.

[Hopefully, they'd actually be back in the other dome or all headed home, but he didn't want to get anyone's hopes up unnecessarily.

He had finished his meal in the meantime, or what there was of it.]

Are you done?

[He could take her plate if she was...]

	pure_confidence 2013-07-24 03:39 am UTC (link)
	[ she looked down at her own plate and grimly sighed as well. ] I suppose I am. However much we try, there's barely enough to keep the edge of hunger off our plates. [ she handed her plate over to him, nodding graciously in thanks. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2013-07-27 04:50 am UTC (link)
	It is better than nothing at least. [They had to do their best to keep their strength. He took her plate, and gave her a small nod.] Take care. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pure_confidence 2013-07-28 06:42 pm UTC (link)
	Likewise to you as well. It would do no one credit should find ourselves suddenly ill or injured in this new place. [ partially because Peggy sincerely doubted that the wardens would be lenient on even those individuals. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2013-07-29 02:38 am UTC (link)
	[He nodded in agreement.] That is true. I will do my best. (Reply to this) (Parent)
