Natural Mother [Open]

Within a school, despite the bad reputation for what is actually served there, cafeterias are a popular gathering place for almost all students, for Transmigration Nine however, this is not the case. In fact, this cafeteria had an even worse reputation for what was dispensed here and due the the fact the crew was not contained to a school and had

She had to ask. How could she not? She was here, alone in the cafeteria, with a fucking bird. What was up with that? It just seemed so out of place.

"Uh, Diana? What are you doing?"

[keep_suriving]

Diana looked up from making the baby bird choke down another spoonful of food.

She flashed a smile at the younger girl. "Hey, cutie. Haven't seen you in awhile."

Diana looked at Mindy, then to the bird croaking on the table, before turning back to Mindy. "Feeding this thing, obviously."

[hit_girl_mindy]

It was still really weird to haves someone besides Ruffnut call her cute, especially when it was someone as pretty as like Diana, but first thing was first.

"Where'd you get the guy?" She asked. "And shouldn't he have, like, more bird like food?"

[keep_suriving]

"Jinx." Diana said accusingly.

"Bird food is for adult birds. When they're little and not much use for more than fox bait like this, their parents sick up their food for 'em. Straight into their noise holes." Diana wrinkled her nose and looked at the baby bird in annoyance, who at that moment had decided to demonstrate his 'noise hole', Diana forcefully gagged him with more food.

"Gross I know, but what else are you going do when you've got no teeth and can't do anything but sit there and look ugly?"

She gave a half-hearted shrug. "Can't see we he can't have this stuff. It's free and packed with load of nutritional things. I eat it, so can he." Despite her appearance, Diana was most definitely not stuck up when it came to food.

[hit_girl_mindy]

Mindy snickered. "Jinx? That's weird. I didn't think she was the maternal time. Then again, I guess that's why you're taking care of the bird and she isn't, right?"

Not that there was anything wrong with that. Diana looked to care enough about the bird that she was going to make sure it lived.

"Poor bird. But while I can't do anything for it, I can at least get you something to eat. You know I have a cafe now, right?"

[keep_suriving]

"It was a 'gift'. In the loose sense of the word. She said it was supposed to be a tropical bird that brings good luck, but she got swindled. And I got this thing."

The bird chirped and tried to nestle itself into Diana's warm palm.

Well, Mindy suddenly got earned a ton more points in Diana's view.

"You don't say?"

[hit_girl_mindy]

"Someone swindled you for a bird? What a dick." Mindy may have forgotten to put the filter up, but with Diana she sometimes just felt fairly casual. "At least he found some good owners though."

She nodded. "Not, like, willingly. I had a friend and stuff, and she and her friends were podded. Now I'm making sure I keep her place alive, you know?"

[keep_suriving]

Diana gave Mindy a skeptical look. "Hate to break it to you cutie, but I'm not exactly Mother Teresa."

"There's alot of things we don't do willingly." To make her point, Diana grabbed and held up the bird in a way that seemed rather rough for such a fragile thing.

A coy smile crossed her face. "That's sweet. How's that working out?"

[hit_girl_mindy]

Mindy snickered. "Yeah, I sorta figured that out, I'm not that dumb. I'm talking specifically about the bird and the swindler."

She nodded. "I hear that. It's going ok, though I had a ton of extra work to do thanks to that stupid alien invasion and those damn robots. But I got some food, bought more in our last vacation, and I have a new cook who's supposed to be really good, so its a work in progress. But I can get you something, obviously."

[keep_suriving]

The bird had gone quiet, Diana gave it a little shake to make sure it was just dozing and hadn't died, it gave a squark and wriggled a bit before nesting in her warm palm and going back to sleep.

"Free samples are always nice." Diana smirked before a thought struck her. She fixed her bright, pretty eyes on Mindy.

"How about a job?"

[hit_girl_mindy]

Mindy chuckled. Some people would have called it cruel, shaking the baby like that, but she knew exactly why Dianna had done it, and that she would have likely done the same thing.

"Well, free samples is pretty much what we d since it makes no real sense to have money, but I was thinking more putting you on priority list."

She actually looked surprised. "Really? Can you cook?"

[keep_suriving]

Diana's light chuckle was almost musical. "Priority list, I like the sound of that."

She shrugged. "Only well enough to feed myself."

Besides, she might not be too good in a kitchen. Since she had such a low standard for food, she wouldn't be too fussy about how things are prepared, people might end up food poisoning.

Diana winked, the smirk returning. "But I'd look pretty good as a waitress, don't you think?"

[hit_girl_mindy]

Mindy shrugged. "Hey, you're a friend of mine and you give a crap, so why not? I kinda like Jinx too, so you tell her the same when you see her, ok? And none of this 'well enough to feed myself' shit. If you ahve to eat, might as well be decent, right?"

She nodded. "Yeah, I do. In fact, I kinda see people coming to the place more because of you. Maybe I SHOULD start charging..."

[keep_suriving]

"If you say so." She nodded. "Jinx'll be pleased, she can't even stomach her own cooking, only I'll eat what she makes."

Diana's smirk grew. "Why, thank you~ Does that mean I'm hired?"

"I'm surpised you're not already charging."
