Who: You
When: Day 40, Early Afternoon
Where: Kitchen(= In the common area
What: Magic!

[At approximately the 3 o'clock hour on day 40, there is a loud, odd noise, a bit like a party blower crossed with an explosion. On the wall in the common area you will find the large, irridescent words:]

Well done.

[And you might be somewhat taken with very obvious changes to the building in the north-east corner of the level 3 common area.

First off, it's low front wall has now been covered with a shining metal counter top, complete with indents and glass covers, rather like any mess hall food line. Beyond that you can see a fully formed, industrial grade kitchen. Metal counters for prep areas, shelving for storage, white ceramic plate, bowls, silverware and glasses. Shelves full of stainless steel pots and pans of every size and need, and drawers full of excellent cooking knives (but having come from Hok, they will instantly go dull if used for any purpose other than cooking). Bakeware can also be found, including sheet pans and bread pans, muffin trays and bunt pans.

Large appliances have been taken care of too. There are at least four large ovens, several gas stovetop burners and a large griddle that has a grill attachment. In the corner there is even a brick oven, perfect for wood fire baking. There are several deep sinks, for cleaning dishes and plenty of space to dry them. An entire shelf is full of bright, durable white towels for the task.

And, if you venture into the kitchen and to the back, you will discover walk in pantry, fridge, and freezer. The pantry has been generously stocked with spices, as well as some basic god given baking supplies: sugar, flour, cocoa, yeast, and so on.

Finally, just outside the kitchen itself, there are several long, mess hall style wooden tables.

Basically, Thusia, you have a fully stocked kitchen, with everything you need to feed the populace, minus the actual food and, of course, chefs.]

So was I.

Shadow... I'm trying... I don't know how... I want to, I swear to god I want to...

There is no 'know how.' Like I said, ya can't 'teach it.'

[a few deep breaths]

I...I trust you. I'm...pretty sure I'm doing it wrong... I'm scared. I'm so scared I could die... But...I trust you.

Yer not gonna die. I wouldn't do that to ya.

[reaaaaach]

Shadow, please...

Would ya really work to get better if I just forgave ya that easily?

I already feel horrible... I don't know, Shadow. Is it worth it to try to fix something this broken?

Someone thought I was worth it.

They had a lot more reason to not be invested.

I'll try, Shadow. You're...probably one of the only ones I'd try for, too.

Yeah. I...like to think so.

You're special to me.

[Nods.] That's why it's important to trust me.

I'm trying, Shadow. I'm trying my best.

I know.

But ya have to keep trying. Because that's how ya eventually do it.

I love you, Shadow. You're like a brother to me.

[F-feelings.]

...and that's why ya gotta keep going, right?

That's right. That's why I'll try for you. Even though I'm scared.

...good.

But that being said, I did want to clarify a few points. In private.

O...kay...?

Come on then.

[Let's lead you back to K then.]

[following quietly]

[To his room.]

[And looking around to make sure Gary isn't around. He's not concerned about Izumi, but that kid could be a pest.]

[But once it's clear, closing door.]

First off, we need to establish a rule.

Yeah?

When I'm playing politics? Don't demand explanations from me. Because I'm probably lying in some capacity.
