Nightshift 35 -- Staff Kitchen

Damn again. The place looked pretty well raided.

Zelnick sighed, surveying the obviously-searched kitchen. He supposed he was going to do the same thing, but he still wished he could have done so first...

"Well, let's search for useful stuff," he told his allies, moving towards the pantry-- was that flour spilled all over the floor?-- and finding the baskets of fruit still there. He emptied one of its contents, then turned back towards the kitchen to search drawers and cupboards.

ZEX wasn't happy at all about having to leave behind his newfound friend; the dead monster's body. He'd been hoping to get better acquainted with it, but he'd been dragged away all too quickly. He'd barely inspected it at all! And he still had so many questions, it had so many legs that needed to be felt and examined...

But his human was insistent, and traveling alone would be dangerous, and his human might get into some sort of mischief if he wasn't around to keep an eye on him, so he reluctantly followed his lead.

Although he had to admit, his heart wasn't much in searching for supplies now. He'd lost it to that magnificently grotesque creature they'd left behind...

ZEX opened a few drawers, looking through them while trying to ignore the visions of the creature that kept playing through his mind. "That creature, was it an Earth creature?" If their planet could produce such wonders as humans, no doubt they could also produce such wonders like that beast they'd seen!

Please ignore the anon post above >_>

Meanwhile, Tanaka had begun to rifle through the cupboards of the kitchen, quite a bit more interested in the exercise than ZEX seemed to be. Unfortunately, he began to be discouraged as the search turned up only blunt instruments - and not very large ones at that. After a good deal of rummaging around and muttering to himself, the Shofixti finally grabbed the largest pan he could find, along with a dozen or so forks - the sharpest things in the drawer, sadly - which went straight into his pocket.

Finished with the kitchen cabinets (if not entirely satisfied by their contents), Tanaka called over to Zelnick. "No luck over here, Captain... just more pots and pans. Did you find anything?"

Heh, no problem~ XD

Zelnick wasn't having much luck, either, though he did toss a few heavier pieces of flatware into the basket-- metal could be sharpened, after all-- before moving back toward the pantry. Food could be used in some ways, too, like for moonshine or payment or getting someone to trust you.

It didn't hurt that he liked apples and Oreos.

"Not an Earth creature, no," he said, "or anything I've seen before. It was probably made in this place." It was said rather shortly, a bit of grossed-out sneaking into his voice, but he tried to shake off his instinctual creeped-out-ness for the moment.

To Tanaka's question, he lifted the basket a little and shined his light on it. "Some metal that could be sharpened, some food for trading and stuff, and we can use the basket to carry anything else we find. Not much, but better than nothing." He sighed. "We should probably move on, if we don't find anything else."

ZEX kept searching, but it seemed they had arrived a bit too late. There weren't a lot of useful materials here, it seemed. One of the pronged things might be useful... he picked one up carefully and put it in his pocket.

"Ah, I see." So there might not have been any others of its kind... all alone, the poor thing! Although, that only made such a singular creature all the more unique and valuable... if only he had his ship and his world here, so he could properly take possession of it! Such a shame.

"I'm not finding much of interest..." ZEX said, still thinking of the beast they'd slain. "A pity..." More about the creature's death than anything else, but he didn't mention that.

[violent_varmint]

"I'm also ready to move on, I think," Tanaka responded as he put his frying pan in the basket. Whomever was here first seemed to have taken anything sharp... other than the forks, and the Shofixti figured he may as well hold on to those rather than risk losing his weaponry to a sudden end-of-the-night announcement again.

Looking over some of the other things in the basket, Tanaka added, "Where was the next place you were planning on checking? Some kind of lab?"

[captain_hunam]

"Yeah, there's a lab with a storage closet. Chemicals, scalpels, that kinda thing. What looked like an autopsy room, too, though there wasn't much of use in there..." He took one last glance around, then headed for the door, shifting the basket to hang over his flashlight-arm. "C'mon, no point wasting time," he said over his shoulder, waving for ZEX and Tanaka to follow him.
