[Red isn't one to get in the way of things. for the past few days, true to his nature, he's been observing others - fellow captives, the drones, everyone - and though he's no more closer to getting his Pokemon back than he was on day one, he's feels content that at least he's learning more about the town. finding out that the supermarket wasn't so

[Did someone say food?]

Rice balls? Really?

[hispalette]

Yeah. If I can't go home yet, I might as well bring a little bit of it here.

[white_pretear]

Man, I haven't had rice balls since I got here! I did try making sushi once, though. It didn't come out too well with the ingredients they have here.

[there's the impression that he's nodding.] All of the stuff on sale is so weird. All of the cereal is made with corn. That doesn't sound like it would taste very sweet.

I can make some for you. Do you like tuna as a filling?

[white_pretear]

It isn't that bad. It isn't food from home either.

Do I! You wouldn't mind?

[hispalette]

Around this time, I'd be eating lots of sweets. Christmas won't be the same here.

Not at all. What's your name?

[white_pretear]

Himeno Awayuki! What's yours?

If you want, I could make something sweet in exchange for the rice balls. Maybe cookies?

[hispalette]

Red. It's nice to meet you, Miss Himeno.

A-ah - you don't have to make me anything...!

[a girl talking to him? it's a sign of the end times!]

[white_pretear]

I don't mind, really! I was planning to make a batch of Christmas cookies for my friends, anyway. It's the least I could do for the rice balls.

[hispalette]

But cookies are so much more complicated than rice balls. I'm not worth the effort...

[white_pretear]

Sure you are! We're strangers and you offered me food. You deserve something in return.

I don't mind, really. I cook and bake all the time.

[a girl's making him cookies. no one's ever done that for him, except Daisy. he doesn't respond for a while.] That's...very nice of you. I haven't had homemade cookies in years. It's kind of-

T-Thank you very much! I'll make sure the next batch of rice balls batch are even better than the last!

[white_pretear]

No problem! I'm looking forward to it!

Have you been here very long, Red?

[hispalette]

Um - for a few days. I just got here on Saturday.

[white_pretear]

Oh, geez. Sorry. It must be really tough for you right now, then.
