Pasta Dinner Night -- Open to All
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.]

Yeah. Sure. ...Do you, d'you think there'll be more of these? I mean-- I really...like pasta.
[Lucemon giggles and nudges Cam as he mumbles out the last part; it's a bit weird to feel self-indulgent.]
no subject
Assuming I can get the funds? Yep. In my experience, if you leave a bunch of teenagers alone to feed themselves, it's only a matter of time before someone tries to make bacon-wrapped steak in the microwave.
no subject
[Cam's face falls and he tries not to laugh nervously.] Oh. Yeah. I. [He laughs, fully now.]
What is it, Campbell? What's so funny? [LUCEMON HAS NEVER HEARD HIM LAUGH BEFORE.]
Oh, well. My brother, Justin, we were... I was twelve, he was fourteen, and mom and dad left us alone for the weekend, they had to take my youngest brother to a...thing, doctor's thing, not important-- but we were watching Lily -- my sister, she was eight or seven -- and we. He put every hotdog we had in the microwave, wrapped them in bacon, and they all exploded.
[He's actually grinning.]
We spent all day cleaning it up, miracle it didn't break. Lily blackmailed us so she wouldn't tell, we had to take her to play hockey for, for like a two weeks.
It was the best.
[Lucemon is listening in rapt attention; Cam's never talked about his life back home so far.]
no subject
Seems like nobody can resist the allure of wrapping things in bacon. Your brother sounds like a friend I had back in biotic training who was convinced that anything could be enhanced with mayonnaise or bacon.
[She makes a mildly sick face.]
Aaaand then he made a birthday cake. While drunk off his ass. And we weren't drunk when we ate it. Or tried to, anyways.
[Wait, there was another detail in Cam's story she wanted to comment on.]
You play hockey?
no subject
[He starts to smile, laugh a little again. Feels like he hasn't in so long, he enjoys listening to the story about her friend, even though that sounds gross, and--
oh. He mentioned hockey. He didn't mean to. His smile sort of evaporates and then he tries to put on another one. Poorly.]
Yeah, yeah... ...Naw. Not...so much anymore. I did, back before. [Before...] I guess I sort of do.
no subject
Did you get hurt?
[She seriously hopes this is just a sports injury and not a car crash or something.]
no subject
[Ha. Oh, did he ever. He can't tell her the truth, but--] Broke my arm. It...got better before I. Got here. I mean, it was all a bit...rough.
[He rubs his hands together a bit, because he can still feel the sting on his palm, if he thinks too hard. And Lucemon almost says something, but she just reaches up and pats his head, like he's a puppy, and he doesn't actually mind it.]
no subject
Breaks are the worst. They keep you out of the action for way too long.
[She can tell something more is in the works here, though.]
Is everything okay?
[She keeps her voice neutral, trying not to sound condescending or pushy. If he freaks out at all, she'll just claim she was asking about how his arm healed, but hey, if something's up? She's here for you, kid.]
no subject
[Well, no. It's not. It's really not but here, it's a whole new set of people. A whole new set of people, he's realizing, who he's starting to interact with, and though he tried to escape he's just in this place again.
So he makes his smile work. He makes it. Come on, Cam. You used to be good at this.]
Heh, yeah... Hurt a lot, and the team kinda kept riding me for it. Didn't really have time to get back on the ice, feel kinda rusty. I dunno, maybe I'll find a rink around here somewhere, some skates, try it out again.
[Come on, Saunders. You can do this. Keep your head up, stick on the ice.]
no subject
. . . Hey.
[She glances over her shoulder and around them to make sure nobody's listening.]
If something's wrong... Well. I won't make you talk about it. But. You don't have to smile for me, okay?
[She pauses for a long moment, then smiles very slightly.]
I haven't played since I was a kid, but, if you need a practice buddy, I'm here.
no subject
[He's a bit surprised. It usually worked on Maya, and Dallas, and his family. Well, he hadn't needed to a lot around his family; it didn't really become more of a problem until later. (Maya didn't believe him, though, he can tell, she was worried sometimes.)
So the smile does fall, and it's that that does it. He doesn't even register Lucemon's hand still on his head.]
I'm... Okay.
[A pause between the words; he doesn't know if it's just trying to deny it again or...well, if it's actually acknowledging her point. He's not sure what he's saying.]
...I guess. It might be fun. I'd need skates. And a puck. A stick. I only have my left skate here.
no subject
[She nods in acknowledgment, then quietly moves on to the hockey conversation.]
You'd be surprised what they sell in town. We could take a look around.
[Wait, what was that last part?]
Only your left?
no subject
[It actually almost feels a bit good to think about it. Playing again. ...Almost.
Quickly, swiftly, and easily, he finds the answer here.]
It was in my backpack. The other wasn't.
[Somehow he can find distance from that.]
no subject
We could show the one you've got to our... partners, if we wanted to have them help us look.
[Although she can't say she'd feel good letting Monodramon run around unsupervised.]
no subject
Uhhh... [He glances at Lucemon, who's perked up and is looking around and then-- just about zeroes in on him.]
Help? Oh, I'd love to help, Campbell!
I guess, I mean. D'you think they really have skates here? ...Maybe I should just get new ones...
no subject
Although, I'll admit, if there was anywhere that you could get one ice skate? It'd be here. They have the weirdest stuff.
no subject
I guess. Probably better if I get a new pair, though. It'd feel weird, having one from home and not the other.

[She raises a hand up to the back of her neck and pushes up her hair, then turns around to show him a little metal implant at the base of her skull.]
Mine shorted out when I got here. It's unsettling, I'll be honest.
no subject
Wow... That kinda stuff, we don't have anything like it back home, like...it's only in movies, or comics, or video games.
no subject
[She laughs and shakes her head.]
I was 8 when we made first contact with the Turians.
no subject
[His interest is super-sparked.]
