[Well, it's morning, the birds are chirping, the sun is shining, and a rather confused young man is standing (in his pajamas and bare feet) outside of 852 Goldberg Street

[ Rika has made a habit of getting up early. Even if she isn't helping with her brother's newspaper route, she tries to check the sanity of the town every morning, and make sure nothing is out of the ordinary.

And you, sir, are out of the ordinary. ]

... mi? Sir, are you all right nano desu...?

[xerxesalchemist]

[He shrugs, almost glaring.]

It's not my "fate". I'm working on changing it.

[A clumsy poke with his fork, and he takes a bite of the sunny-side-up egg.]

This is really really good food.

[badend_replay]

... ah, that's good to hear. Everyone here is so strong-willed.

nihaha! I'm glad that you think so! I'd be happy to cook breakfast for you more often, Van! If you'll continue to enjoy it, that is~. Nipa~h.

[He beams with pleasure]

[badend_replay]

[ Good answer. She beams right back as she does the dishes. ]

nyao~. I'll look into your family situation too. It'd be bad if you got stuck with drones, sir.

[xerxesalchemist]

[Ack! She's doing the dishes. He should help with that. Equivalent exchange and everything.]

Thanks Rika.

[badend_replay]

[ She doesn't think twice about doing the dishes alone. She's so used to it back home, and it can be a bit relaxing to wash dishes. ]

You're quite welcome! I'm sorry to have taken so long!

[ She hops off of the stool she's been using. ]

I should probably go! If your family is drones they might wonder why I'm here...

[xerxesalchemist]

Alright.

I'll see you later then.

[badend_replay]

Yes, later then!! Bye bye! Take care of yourself, sir!

[ and she exits the house. ]
