[Sawako stands at the stove in the kitchen, happily stirring a pot of curry. There are various serving plates and bowls with different foods lined up along the counter buffet-style. She's humming to herself too, and there might even be sparkles and bubbles. And hexagons and diamonds, for whatever reason. She gives it one more stir, before turning the burner off and leaving the spoon on a plate to her left. She pours the curry into a large bowl and places it on the counter with the other food.]

[Straightening her skirt out, she addresses the Plane at large, since it's better to announce yourself so people know you're looking to talk]

I - I made some food in case anyone is hungry. There's some curry and some soup and some rice and meat and vegetables, too. There's also cake that will be ready soon. Since we're all in this together, we should do our best to help each other out.

[she shifts a little, looking down at one of the plates, before looking up again]

Also, if - if anyone has been asked any strange questions or can say anything about their lives before everyone became stuck here, I'd really like to hear about it. I'd - I'd like that a lot.

[She ladles herself a bowl of soup, and then sits at the table, waiting for anyone to join if they like, and eating by herself if they don't. Beside her is a notepad and pen. Her hand tenses nervously around the spoon, as she keeps her eyes focused on her bowl of soup.]

[Sherlock sits at the counter, not taking a bowl but eyeing it anyway.] There's no need to be nervous. This is an excellent method of luring out answers.

[superoptimistic.livejournal.com]

I - I guess you're right. I'll keep that in mind. Thank you.

[she smiles, his words encouraging enough to make her relax and her nerves seem to evaporate, too.]

[Sherlock-sama wouldn't lie, so it must be true. Although he does look very cold. He must have traveled somewhere very icy.]

You should sit down, Sherlock-sama. I'll make you some hot chocolate and get you some soup. That will help you get warm.

[rationalist.livejournal.com]

[He pauses before sighing and running a hand through his hair.] Sawako-chan, do you see ice?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Strange questions? You too, huh?

[superoptimistic.livejournal.com]

I did! But - but I thought it might be a good way to find out who's asking questions, too.

[she tilts her head as she looks at him]

Did you start using a new soap, Isaac-kun?

[I've seen advertisements for soaps that can make your skin glow. Isaac-kun somehow found a very powerful soap. He's so resourceful!]

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Did you learn any--

Soap? No...why?

[youidiots.livejournal.com]

What sort of questions?

[miishal @ aim]

[superoptimistic.livejournal.com]

Any - any sort of questions where you have to make a choice.

If you'd - if you'd like something to eat, I'd be happy to help. Is there anything your parents wouldn't want you to eat?

[youidiots.livejournal.com]

You're looking for that information as well?

... what are you saying?

[bodilesswarrior.livejournal.com]

[months in an abandoned city means very little would make Barbara resist food like this, so she flashes the girl a grateful smile and grabs a plate] That's kind of you.

[as she wheels herself down the line, taking a bit of everything, she also keeps an eye on Sawako, and her gaze quickly grows concerned] Just curious?


((PMing would be best!))

[superoptimistic.livejournal.com]

No, no, it's not kind. It wasn't anything at all really.

[she blinks as she looks at Barbara.] Are - are you a spirit of some kind?

[she shakes her head] I have a job to do, and I want to find out more about why we're all stuck here. I - I thought asking everyone questions might be a good way to start.

[bodilesswarrior.livejournal.com]

Sure it is - [and then she blinks in return] Um, not last I checked. Might be related to whatever is happening, though. ...Did you take on this job yourself?

[reverseptsd.livejournal.com]

[John has never been the sort to refuse food on cases, and least of all now; maybe the company of someone like Sawako will help ease some of the more...unsettling effects of the Plane. He takes a seat besides her, reaching for a bowl] What sort of questions?

[superoptimistic.livejournal.com]

Just - just about conditions before coming here and if anything strange has -

[she stops as she looks at John, quickly becoming concerned]

W-Watson-sama, are you hurt?

[reverseptsd.livejournal.com]

[Confused] No, I'm fine. Why?

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

[sniff sniff]

Delicious food, cooked by a beautiful girl. Maybe this won't be so bad after all. [Beautiful for the most part. Maybe she won't force her smile again.]

[ooc: AIM is inherits the sun or you can PM me, whatev!]

[superoptimistic.livejournal.com]

[Sawako looks behind her, wondering if someone else entered the kitchen as well. When she realizes the compliment is directed at her, she looks down and blushes]

I - I - you don't have to say things like that, but if you want something to eat, please help yourself.

[she finally looks up again and really looks at Axel]

You have new glasses, Axel-kun. They - they look very nice.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

{omg food--there might as well be hearts in Diva's eyes}

Ne, do you really not mind sharing? It smells really good!

[superoptimistic.livejournal.com]

[too bad the hearts are hidden behind what Sawako is seeing, although being confused with a horror movie type character has taught her not to be too bothered by appearances]

[she's squeeing internally]

[This person thinks my food smells good! I hope the taste satisfies them, too~]

I - I'm glad you think it smells good. I must warn you though, I'm not familiar with the kind of food you like. Do you have any special dietary needs or restrictions?

[This girl looks like nothing in Sawako's world, and Sawako is unsure what foods are toxic to Diva, so it's best to be certain!]

{Have a seven-foot-tall Servant, too}

How very kind of you! Though, what is this "curry?" I have not heard of such a dish before. It is quite fragrant!

{Rider doesn't really wait for the answer, though, and goes to look for himself} A stew of some sort?

[superoptimistic.livejournal.com]

Curry is -

[she stops short though, looking around for the source of the voice]

I was almost certain I heard a voice. Is - is there someone there?

[oliverplus]

[approaches her a bit uncertainly. the last couple days have made him nervous to interact with others] Hey, uh...did you say you were asked a weird question?

[superoptimistic.livejournal.com]

I - [she stops as she sees Oliver, uncertain and worried and a very heavy sadness at the state of him. She's on the verge of tears] - are - are you okay?

[artiscordis.livejournal.com]

[Argentine pops up, curious.]

You are quite the proper maiden.

[superoptimistic.livejournal.com]

You're too -

[as she looks at Argentine, she's visibly moved and almost close to tears]

The - the bond you and your friend share is - it's - it's really, really wonderful! [she stops, tilting her head to the side] But, have you always been so statuesque, Argentine-kun?
