Meet, greet and eat

[titanianblade]

(To be perfectly honest, Cornelius didn't expect to find other persona users outside of himself and Guzma. The head of the Skull gang was a stroke of luck, but to have found so many others who can tap into that power and help fight off the shadows...it's a welcome relief.

Not to mention the large, large expansion to Cornelius' circle of friends.

So what's a rich kid to do when he's happy to have an extended circle like this? Throw down. A bunch of money to get everyone nice and fed for a day. He arranged for a catered picnic and invited his fellow persona-users and any friends they wanted to bring along. There's a bit of something for everyone, so pizzas, sandwiches, whatever, really. It's a large, open space, too, of anyone's in the mood for playing around. Just like the food, there's plenty of options there.

Cornelius would be lying if he said he wasn't thrilled to have so many people to hang out with. He just hopes they'll have fun while they're here.)

But I should've been watching my footing.

[So it wasn't his fault really...]

Awe, okay.

[yaboyguzma]

We'll play something else. Deal? Then we go punish Q for being a dink.

Aww, Boss, I ain't no dink...!

[bloodinbloom]

[Well, that made her smile... and even giggle.]

Okay! [She doesn't know what a 'dink' is, but she probably shouldn't repeat.]

[yaboyguzma]

Nah, you know what? Reverse it. Let's eat, I'm starving! Q, you're on the cauliflower. Your punishment is one head!

AND! [He silenced any protests from him.] I know it's your least favorite. But it's fulla vitamins, so it's not gonna kill you. Get on it!

Rest of us, we're having pizza. Little Sis gets first pick.

[bloodinbloom]

Food? Okay, we should do that!

[It wouldn't be a good idea if they didn't have something to eat.] It'll be okay, Q. Boss should eat some vegetables too and not only pizza before the party's over.

[yaboyguzma]

You hear that, Boss?

Pfsh! Ya boy eats plenty of greens! It's how he got so big and so bad!

[bloodinbloom]

Hmmm... are you sure?

[She gave Guzma what was basically pout, but with the additional puffed cheeks as she considered whether or not he was lying to her.]

[yaboyguzma]

I'm surer than sure! Green pepper pizza's the way to go to get those nutrients goin'!

[bloodinbloom]

Hmm... Did Cornelius order green pepper pizza?

[She wanted to try it.]

[yaboyguzma]

Eh, probably not. Here in Japan the people hate the stuff, so most places don't bother carrying it.

Oh well! Looks like it's meat lovers! Too bad, Rosie. I was looking forward to greens!

[bloodinbloom]

That's fair. It's just their tastes.

[But she does really miss Mexican-style pizza.]

Are you just saying that, Boss?

[yaboyguzma]

No, no, of course not! Ya boy's nothing if not honest. [He made the 'Scout's Honor' gesture.]

C'mon. The protein's good for you, anyways.

[He went to help himself to the stuff at the table. Gimme that slooooooppy meat pizza.]

Brain food! Muscle food. You feel me?

[bloodinbloom]

I think I feel you.

We don't get pizza that often, and when we do, it's not Meat Lover's.

[yaboyguzma]

Say what? What do you even get, then? What else is there!? What- cheese? Pepperoni?

[bloodinbloom]

We get the spicy deluxe pizza! We all love it and it keeps us from picking out too many flavors.

[yaboyguzma]

...You need to tell me more about this spicy deluxe, little sis. Ya boy likes it spicy!

[bloodinbloom]

You haven't had it before!?

[yaboyguzma]

No! Now gimme the dirt on how 'deluxe' this deluxe is.

[He settled into a seat and immediately, casually helped himself to a slice of meat lover's.]

[bloodinbloom]

It has onions, pepperoni, spicy sausage, and jalapenos! We always like putting on a little more red flakes or hot sauce!

[yaboyguzma]

[He eyed his pizza slice as if it offended his great ancestors.]

...I'm convinced; this needs to be a thing in my gut by the end of the week, or I'm gonna start a riot. Whatchu think, boys? You wanna get grubby mitts on a spicy deluxe?

[There seemed to be agreements all around.]

Okay, okay- but where, then? Who's got this beast locked away where I can get all up in it?

[bloodinbloom]

It's this pizza shop that's nearby the hospital. Since there aren't a lot of people who eat spicy foods here, it can be a little pricey which is why dad doesn't order it a lot.

That and the nurses get nervous when I eat spicy foods.

[yaboyguzma]

Eh, nurses freak out too much. What do they have to worry about? This is a patient that's eating good.

[bloodinbloom]

They're just being careful, but you're right. Even Dr. Kimishima has told them they don't need to worry so much.

[yaboyguzma]

What's a spicy pizza gonna do? You're pale, that's all.

[He passed her a slice. This was a no-veggie zone.]

[bloodinbloom]

I dunno. I don't think the nurses are used to patients who like spicy foods.

[She accepted the slice and carefully took a bite.]
