Day 379 [Video/Action | Open]
[Video | Open]
[The video starts with a close up of this lady right here.]

Prison, let me introduce you to Chicago. Chicago, prison. Prison, Chicago.

[Kitty turns the video back on herself and smiles.] So, I have a dog and I will let you pet her if you come help me paint the apartment. I have plenty of brushes and rollers. There's also a bunch of pizza. [Which she'll actually have to cook since the robots aren't playing nice with anyone today. It's something she has her eye and her team on, but she's going to keep living life for now.] And drinks.

Stay for an hour. Stay until it's done. Whatever you're up for. Good times ahead. [And she's more into having the company than making people work. Definitely some big changes going on. The one she doesn't mention is that she and Reid broke up again a few days ago.]

[Action | Open]
[Step right up! The door and windows are open in her sector 4 apartment. There's plastic covering quite a bit of it and paint swatches up for the appropriate rooms. Dark blue in her bedroom, gold for the kitchen, a brighter blue in the living room, aqua in the bathroom, gold again in her office and Nathan's room—even though he's not going to be living there anymore is pure black as requested. There are coolers in the kitchen with an assortment of refreshments, some alcoholic. She'll throw pizzas in every now and again. Who knows what will be playing when you walk in a little Alice Cooper or KISS or some AC/DC. This is a judge-free zone, guys. Oh, and Chicago will probably greet you at the door.]

	Well, since there's an opportunity to pet a dog involved. [ Lightly. The pizza bribery is... Familiar. If ineffective on him. But he has other reasons for wanting to spend some time around the head of the Defense Force, after this morning's announcement! ] (Reply to this) (Thread)

Completely. Take care not to exploit this tragic weakness in the future.

[ Could... theoretically also bring someone else along who will be infinitely more helpful with the manual labor of housepainting. ~~And then reassign himself to the kitchen, providing the pizza hasn't already been made.~~ But no -- promises right now. ]

I assume you have an address, given the alternative of living in a hole in the space-time continuum-slash-simulation the rest of us currently inhabit?

	Oh, no, it goes in the book of tragic weaknesses to be used for petty things, but too late to take it back now, right? [Yes, do all of that.] I do, but wouldn't it be more fun to guess? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imperious 2016-06-15 04:43 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, entirely too late. [ Oh well! ] Fun is not the word I'd use. [ Chuckle. ] Perhaps funny, from your perspective. But I don't imagine it will help much with the actual painting of your house. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-06-18 03:09 pm UTC (link)
	Sector four, apartment... [You know, some number that lets you find it, but isn't necessary to canonize.] Now we can have all of the mutual fun of painting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Much better. From, again, my perspective. [ Pleasantly. Yeah, he'll... speak to Suzaku. And it won't be long before... ] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	[ ...he's shown up, and meandered his way into her kitchen. There has been a courtesy effort at painting, and now he and his smock (because of course he showed up with a smock, and his hair protected by a kerchief, he was prepared) (but he's also still immaculate) are eyeing the oven and pondering that aforementioned reassignment. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Kitty peeks into the room, leaning against the not-yet-painted door frame and smirks.] Think we can save them, doctor? [The frozen pizzas of course.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Frozen pizzas are beyond saving by definition. ~~If only he had a wood-fire stove.~~ ] We have delta brainwaves. I don't promise they'll be just as they were before the accident, but... [ An easy smile over his shoulder for her. Preheating the oven! If he understood nothing else about her cheerful metaphor, he understood that he has permission to, shall we say, operate. ]

	Look at you with the jargon to match the joke. Thanks. [For the ovening, not the joke.] I was kind of hoping someone else would run with that. [She'd rather be painting, can you believe it?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ His smile ripples, more amusement. ] I like to be prepared. [ He used to do a lot of independent study, before his time outside of class started to be eaten up by things like 'organizing a rebellion'. ] And you're welcome. But if it's all the same to you, next time... just gather the ingredients. If I'm going to make pizza, it might as well be real pizza. [ Italian-style. From scratch. So on and so forth. More effort, but the perfectionist in him dislikes doing things halfway. ]

	Next time? You think I won't like my paint choices? I didn't realize you cooked. [Maybe she did once upon a time. So many people have passed through. She doesn't remember every detail. She does know he was fond of chess though.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ And laughter! Lelouch tosses her a crooked smile. ]

I think that at some point in the future, you might again resort to bribing people with food for something or other.

[ He picks up one of the pizza boxes, turns it over to review the instructions. And thinks about how much to say. She knew Suzaku, thought they were friends; but she's not sure whether or not he cooked. Did he let the bots do all of the cooking? Or did he just never cook for Kitty... ] [ It doesn't have to mean anything -- he wasn't here even a year, before -- but Lelouch can't help wondering. ]

From time to time. [ ...Straddling the line, one supposes. ]

	Did you have a something in mind for that bribery? Keep in mind the bots do special orders too, [when they bother to work] so you might want to keep it on the reasonable side. [So much going on in your head, Lelouch.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ He doesn't bribe people, Kitty, he geasses them. And, before that, blackmail. ] Anyone, or indeed, artificial construct, can offer sufficient calories. [ Mild, ] My services, when I choose to extend them, run more along the lines of gourmet.

[ But he can, through great suffering, also just follow the instructions on the back of a box. Though he is modifying the instructions in this case, somewhat. A different heat, and discarding the useless little reflective circles of cardboard for, you know, proper frozen pizza reheating. ]

	The pizza can hear you, you know. You're giving it an inferiority complex. [Think of it's processed, frozen feelings!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	action; imperious 2016-07-20 07:34 pm UTC (link)
	Good. Maybe next time it'll think twice. [ Before... being frozen?? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	action; kitty_has_claws 2016-07-24 10:40 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, that's a good point. [It's a ridiculous point and there's no reason to point that out.] You do good work, Lelouch. Keeping pizza in line. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ A small snort. ] Someone has to. It'll be done in... [ Double-checks the packaging instructions, but the number he gives her is not the same as the number on said packaging, because again he's trying to make the pizza at least slightly better. ]

Conveniently, that should correspond well enough with lunch. [ Or, you know, it corresponds well enough with lunch because he came in here at the Correct Time. Luck, advance planning, they look the same when you're doing it right. ]

	Even better. I'll leave you to it. I have some naked walls to coat. [She gives him a smile.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He matches it. ] Work hard. I hear there's some sort of reward on offer. (Reply to this) (Parent)
