Eat, Drink and Be Merry [Open to the Non-Mission Folk]

There was lots of things to do after waking from her Snake and Holly curse. Like, being hugged until she was breathless by Tess, taking her first real sleep without the threat of a nightmare looming over her head (which, incidentally, made her sleep right through Stacy's all-call) or figuring out how to make okayu with the food provided. This was

Steve sat out of this mission. He didn't particularly feel in the spirit of any kind of holiday, so he figured his presence would just be counterproductive. Christmas in particular held some painful memories for him. He had no family to spend it with anymore. It was only days after the fact that he died, and any holiday he spent at Rockfort Prison had a tendency to lose its luster

Miku looked up and blew her bangs up out of her face a couple of times before smiling at him, "Hi!" The chunks of vegetables and chicken were scooped up and dumped in the okayu as she continued to look at him, "You're not bothering me at all. Actually, I was just thinking about you and the okayu, so, I was attempting to make it before I saw you. Just to be sure I still remembered." She washed her hands and gave the pot a good stir before putting the lid back on.

He took a moment to pick at the clothes the sensorium picked out for him. Man, it was nice to be in something loose-fitting again. Or at least to hallucinate something loose-fitting. A glance back in hallway leading to the front door showed that everybody had their shoes off, so Steve quickly discarded his and nudged them alongside the wall. See, he could be culturally sensitive.

"I'm okay," he said. "Kinda blah about the holiday and all, but I'll get over it. How are you? You look a lot better. I'm really glad you're not cursed anymore."

Miku rocked back on her heels and bobbed her head a little, "Well, that makes two of us on both counts - it was August for me, so it seems too early to be dealing with Christmas." Besides, she didn't have a boyfriend, anyway. It was just another holiday they half-celebrated. Though, Miku did like the thought of having some Christmas cake and hot tea.

"So, I guess I mean to say I'm fine and I'm sorry I didn't come to see you sooner." Miku apologized. But, he was here now, and that was important, right? Yes, yes it was. It made her chest feel full and happy, just like it did when she saw Tess.
