Pasta Dinner Night -- Open to All

[renegadedriving]

Characters: Anyone who wants in!
When: April 7, 2013, 6pm onwards
Where: The communal kitchen
What: Shepard hosts a communal dinner to make sure all the kids are okay, but adults and digimon are welcome as well!

[There's a good chance Shepard is going to regret emptying her wallet later, but for now, she's armed with a massive quantity of uncooked pasta and a bunch of jars of red sauce, along with butter and salt just in case of picky eaters. She'd normally just make the same thing for everyone, but she's dealing with what could be very young, very frightened children, so it's best to err on the side of caution.]

[She settles into the kitchen at 6, and after banishing Monodramon to their apartment (he's still in trouble for the incident with Gomamon), sets about to cooking.]

[If you show up early, you'll find her manning a large number of cooking pots full of heating sauce and boiling water. If you're on time, you'll find Shepard handing out plates of pasta and offering a choice between sauce or no sauce, then herding you to a table filled with anyone who got here before you. Why not get to mingling? There's enough food and company to go around, tonight.]

[She tenses slightly and glances up at him, a little surprised.] W-well...

[With a sigh, Lopmon moves behind her and pushes at her legs to get her moving.] Go on!

She stumbles just a bit at her partner's insistence before her wings catch her balance. She blushes, embarrassed.]

Uh, y-yes...that'd be...nice...Th-thank you.

[acceptedburden]

[He'd almost over looked the tiny brown rabbit digimon with her but since the digimon is encouraging Fluttershy he simply gives a nod and returns to the table.]

This is Gizamon.

[Gizamon glances up from her plate but, thankfully, says nothing. Although she does glare a bit. Kaldur gives his partner a "be nice" look and she rolls her eyes and returns to her meal. Probably for the best.]

I do not believe we have met yet.

[strengthinkindness]

[She shakes her head a little.] N-no, I-I...don't think we have. M-my name is...F-Fluttershy.

[Her Digimon partner hops up onto a chair.] And I'm Lopmon!

It's...nice to meet you...[She pauses, trying to sound out his name in her head so she doesn't get it wrong.] K-Kaldur...ahm.

[acceptedburden]

It is a pleasure to meet you as well Fluttershy and Lopmon.

[He appreciates the effort. She's actually not far off.] Not bad, but if Kaldur is easier for you, many of my friends use that instead.

[strengthinkindness]

[She nods, then repeats it as though testing it out.] Kaldur...It's...It's a very nice name.

[She's not...used to small talk.]

[acceptedburden]

Thank you.

[Small talk can be difficult. Kaldur, being the quiet type, is probably not exactly the best of it either.]

Are you adjusting well? I have noticed this place to be very overwhelming to some.

[strengthinkindness]

W-well, it...it has been a little...difficult to get used to all this, but...I-I think I'm getting though it all right. Everyone I've met so far has been very kind...

[acceptedburden]

That is good to hear. It will only get easier with time.

[He nods.]

I have noticed that as well. It is good to see that we can get along even in such uncertainty.

[He just hopes it will last once things have settled.]
