It's a terrible day in the neighborhood...

[superstylishschism]

[Once again, the bulletain board sports a note after the trial. It's in Nephenee's handwriting, and reads:]

Heya, everyone.

Miss Hinawa, Alastor, and I are making the food this week for the bonfire. It'll be at the normal time.
If ya wanna bring something for it, feel free to. We wanna do something a bit more this week.

Let's continue on, and fight for our friends,
Nephenee

[Instead of the usual boxed and bagged snacks from the cabinets, this time tables have been dragged out of the mess hall and loaded with real food. Cookies, cupcakes, pies and other assorted freshly baked goods are laid out for those who need something sweet to counter the sour taste the trial left in everybody's mouth while a few entrees and sides sit out for anyone who has an appetite for dinner.

As before, paper plates are set out by the bonfire, six of them this time. Each of the dead other than Betrayus is represented by a sketch of their face taped to a stake holding the plate to the ground. Each plate has a cupcake and an omurice sitting on it, plus themed cookies: a bat for Ashley, a Pokeball for Clair, a pair of sunglasses for Yomiel, a microphone for Callie, a feather for Pittoo and a boxing glove for Mac.

Sitting alone on a piece of paper with Betrayus' face on it is a ghost cookie. Looks like he gets slightly more than bupkis this time.]

[Shadow followed Hinawa back to the main section of the camp, just to make sure she was going to be alright. Apparently the remaining students who could cook (amazingly, he might add) had taken it upon themselves to create a feast. Shadow isn't sure he's hungry... but he knows he needs to eat. He already got on Wiitney's case about it, and he couldn't be a hypocrite.

He looks at the "omurice" dish curiously. He pokes it with a fork]

What is this...? It has eggs in it, but... is it covered in ketchup?

[superstylishschism]

[Alastor looks up from chopping vegetables and nods.]

Ketchup and eggs go together really well. I think those are stuffed with rice, too.

[chaoscontrol]

[Rice, eggs, and tomato ketchup...

He looks at Alastor dubiously]

[sunflowerfields]

You've never had omurice before? Oh, you're in for a treat!

[She cuts a bite off of a plate with a fork, then offers it to Mr. Edgehog.]

Here! I made plenty for everyone.

[chaoscontrol]

[Shadow looks at the bite of the... strange concoction. Honestly, it sounds like something Sonic would come up with. EGGS! KETCHUP! RICE!! WHATEVER'S IN MY KITCHEN MAN!

He sniffs it and then carefully places it in his mouth, chewing thoughtfully...

.... AH IT'S REALLY GOOD]

[superstylishschism]

Told you.

[There's a weak attempt at a smug smirk.]

[chaoscontrol]

[he grumbles and eats the rest of it]

The texture is interesting. That's all.

[IT'S NOT LIKE HE LIKES THIS FOOD OR ANYTHING]

[sunflowerfields]

I knew you would like it.

[SMILE.]

Do you want me to draw anything particular on yours with the ketchup?

[chaoscontrol]

Drawn... on it...?

[how absurd. How perfectly absurd.

And completely adorable]

N-no... I'm fine...

[sunflowerfields]

Ah, okay. I'll just draw a smiley face, then.

[Which she does! Two dot for eyes, a curved line smile... and then she adds several zigzags around it. It's a smiley hedgehog.]

[chaoscontrol]

[Shadow watches, and when he sees the spines, he immediately realizes what it's supposed to be.

He feels his cheeks flush.

It's so cute]
