Final wan - for some at least

[Lan is fidgeting a bit. Which is potentially dangerous for a clumsy person like her, since she's carrying tools like hammers and nails at the moment, not to mention a big sheet of rolled up paper.]

I know it may not be the most opportune moment, between an epic battle with anti-spiral forces that threatened to destroy all living beings, and Rock's recent... misadventures.

But our friends are going to depart from Earth really soon, and Madoka and others of the Jersey Club decided to prepare a small surprise before their departure. Would you be willing to help?

...

At least I think you may call them friends. It is somewhat complicated.

[The "we saved the world hooray and also good-bye for some people" party is all set up! We have balloons, big signs that go "thank you for everything", delicious food... and last but not the least, the three stooges for whom the party was for!]


"..."

[Kirius, Izo and Array stand in the middle of it all, surprised and speechless. Well, technically only Kirius and Array depart for De Metrio - Izo decided to stay on Earth to study cooking. But that means the three stooges are not only saying good-bye to White Chalice and Kamogawa, but also to each other!]

[Do you have anything to say, or do you wait and place bets on who starts to cry first?]

Comments

Damn you for stealing my thunder, Cubey!

[curse_u_reflexes]

Helping's no problem at all!

Honestly I was thinking of trying to get something set up to help celebrate everyone beating the Anti-Spiral and saving a whole universe, but it wouldn't be right to not have a farewell gift for friends.

[no_wan_no_life]

Oh.
That is a good idea - the celebration may double as one for saving the universe from anti-spiral.

Hmm, in fact should it not be its primary purpose? It is a much bigger event after all...

[curse_u_reflexes]

Well... the people who went to save Nia probably got a huge celebration on Simon's world, and they're not the kind of people that would demand to be front and center for this.

[no_wan_no_life]

W... well! It'd still be nice for them to know that their efforts are appreciated.

[curse_u_reflexes]

It's always nice to feel appreciated.

So!

[She claps energetically.]

What shape should the cake be in?

[Cake?]

[no_wan_no_life]

Shape? I wonder...

Wait a second! We're making a cake? On such a short notice?

[curse_u_reflexes]

Well why wouldn't we? People have cakes for all sorts of occasions.

[no_wan_no_life]

I am not exactly sure how to make a cake myself...

[Determination rises!]

But I will not give up!

[curse_u_reflexes]

That's the spirit!

And I'll be with you too. I'm the one who brought it up, after all, and I have had experience with baking stuff before.

[Being able to sate your own ginormous Irgelion appetite was definitely a useful skill, after all.]

[no_wan_no_life]

Thank you for your assistance. What kind of supplies will we need, then? I am almost entirely sure we need flour. And eggs? We do need eggs, don't we?

[curse_u_reflexes]

That's right. Eggs, flour, sugar, baking powder, butter, milk... that's just the basic components. But if we get enough of them we shouldn't have any problem making a cake worthy of the occasion!

[no_wan_no_life]

Oh. Please count on me then, I will find them all!

[curse_u_reflexes]

We don't actually need to-

... The ship's food stores probably has plenty for us to work with. And if not we can probably get some on short notice since we're still in Britannian territory.

[no_wan_no_life]

Right.

To the stores it is, then!

[Lan goes off on her own. Will she really be alright?]

[curse_u_reflexes]

[Julia'd like to think that... but all things considered she's going to have to follow after her. Sorry Lan.]

[no_wan_no_life]

[Good because you find Lan troubled over which kind of flour to use.]

This is a very important decision. I must choose carefully!

[You also don't have a whole day to make this important decision.]

[kamogawa_maru]

Ah, I can't believe they're leaving also.

[Madoka is off to the side examining her hard work.]

[no_wan_no_life]

It's hard to believe, isn't it.

It feels like we met the trio just a few days ago.

[And fought them in a desperate battle, Lan forgets to mention that part.]

[kamogawa_maru]

I remember, it was a bit after I met you and Muginami.

[no_wan_no_life]

They served as Villagiulio's lackeys.

I am glad he and Brother finally get along.

[kamogawa_maru]

Mmm mmm they finally listened to us for once.
