Nightshift 35 -- Staff Kitchen

For his part, Subaru wasn't particularly interested in finding weapons. Though he could probably pass anything he found on to Hokuto-chan, he wasn't sure he wanted to think about his sister going into battle wielding a kitchen knife. He didn't like thinking about Hokuto going into battle at all, but he really hoped she had something better than a knife by now!

The pantry and the fridge seemed like better places to explore for now--maybe there would be some snacks Subaru could take back with him and keep on hand so that he would have something to eat during the night, to help keep his energy up since he generally ate so little during the day. Granola bars, trail mix, crackers... anything vegetarian would do.

Knives looked back at the boy once his robes pockets were filled with metal and such. He was quiet for a moment, considering him. "Is there anything you wanted from this?" he asked. "My roommate is... able to create weapons from metal. If you would like I could talk to him about creating something for you or your.... friends."

It was difficult for him to offer his services, even if he was really just offering Roy's, but Subaru had helped him and was traveling with him. He was clearly uncomfortable with the whole situation, but it just showed how much he had grown that he tried at all.

Having already availed himself of the services of the Norn--who was presumably not Knives' roommate, being female--Subaru would feel guilty if he got more favours from any of the weaponsmiths, considering how very busy they seemed to be. So, tempting as the prospect of getting Hokuto-chan a real weapon was, Subaru smiled sadly and shook his head. "Thank you for the kind offer, but I wouldn't want to impose."

The fridge seemed to be well-stocked with canned juices, and Subaru definitely wanted to grab a few of those. But he needed something to carry them in... he made a soft, pleased noise when he discovered that a sack lunch had been left behind. He emptied out the contents and instead filled the sack with cans of juice. "Is there anything you want from here?" The pantry would be next.

Knives' eyes widened in a slightly angry way when Subaru said the word 'kind'. He was not being kind, not to a human. He shook his head at the offer. "No," he said simply, watching Subaru as if he was considering killing him (which he very likely was).

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."
