[ despite the joking on the network, strohl is keeping good on his word, actually - so at some point on monday afternoon, she gets a message! artfully typed via voice to text. ]
Are you hungry? Come to the 'Congratulations' restaurant.
zooms right to the restaurant. don't mind her smuggling in booze for real this time. she takes a swig of whatever it is before sliding into the kitchen. ]
Didn't know you could move so fast, Vi, I'm sort of impressed.
[ teasing!!! i've decided strohl jr is also here so he comes bounding over to vi immediately where he was hanging out eating scraps.
strohl himself gestures at the meat cooking on a cast iron skillet. ] I promised you redgrass roasted bidou, right? Found some ingredients yesterday when Maestro broke the cases. Figured I'd snag it - glad I did.
[ he looks up from where he's babysitting the roast to catch her taking a big drink and snorts. ] What're you drinking?
[ oh i'm glad you remembered strohl jr i PROMPTLY forgot he exists
he comes bounding over and bonks vi in the ankles, and out of pure cuteness aggression she picks him up and squeezes him like a plush doll. also, don't underestimate her when she's hungy, she moves like the wind.
she'll sit on a counter somewhere. ]
Just coming to check and make sure you can actually cook. [ teases back, taking another drink. ] Whiskey. Want some?
[ see this is why we have to share a game item because we can both remember it 50% of the time. the poro is fuckin delighted by this and licks her face.
as she's chugging the whiskey, strohl raises an eyebrow. ] Already driven to drink? You're going to be dry by the evening - it's barely half past noon.
[ it's not particularly scolding, but there's like, the tiniest tinge of worry to it - don't get to be an alcoholic three days in. ]
[ she very wisely does not go okay, mom, because it'd psychic damage the both of them. instead, she blows a raspberry at him and takes another swig.
she also probably has bruises on her face that she didn't have before gazes at my other threads. nothing terrible, at least. flips the poro on his back and scratches at his belly like a dog. ]
[ he's not even surprised by the bruises WE JUST HUNG OUT A FEW HOURS AGO!!!! AND YET
strohl jr kicks his foot. ]
Not all morning. Went down and looked at that trash chute - don't recommend it. [ it was so gross. he lifts the knife, gesturing briefly at her with it. ] Seems like I had a less exciting morning than you, though.

Quit nagging. [ lightly. she's not mad, but - y'know. he'd asked her before what she was going back to, and this was her answer. ]
I'm still sober, anyway.
[ it's too late she's already an alcoholic yaaaay ]
no subject
[ yes you are ] Just, when you run out, and you complain about it, I've every right to say I told you so.
[ he waves his spatula in her direction, vaguely, like a naggy mother. ]

Ugh, yeah. I checked it out - Jacopo and I were looking at the word puzzle. [ and they decided it said beware wawawa so they solved it.
as for the rest, she half grins. ]
That Dante punk said he didn't believe I'd punch him.
no subject
So you punched him?
no subject
[ lol ]

snortlaughs at this though ]
Kid's a spitfire, isn't he? Feel like he's going to be throwing punches for the entire time we're here.
no subject
Probably, and I'm not babysitting. Little shit acts up and I'm knocking him out.
[ she does actually like dante unfortunately she's just not nearly as patient as jiaoqiu was. ]
no subject
Sure, sure, very believable. [ its not ] What do you think of the others, so far?
no subject
I like most of them. [ stretches idly. ] Jacopo, Jonas, Ace - they're all easy to talk to. Childe and Anders are brats.
[ affectionate ]
Rupert's a good kid. Alex, she... she's fine. [ ... ] I like Rosamund, too.
