[S'up, Ladygardens. Yumeko is currently inside the Spaceship — somewhere in the kitchen, most likely, from the looks of the background. On top of the counter she is standing behind, a number of sugar skulls are lined up. She glares at them. The names written on them don't bother her, but—]

"Excuse me," I begin, sounding irritated. [No, that isn't a sudden switch to first person prose. She's just...narrating her actions. For some reason.] "But could someone explain to me what the meaning of this is? I don't know how I'm expected to make adequate meals for Lady Shinki when all that's available to me are...these." I gesture toward the skulls. [And she does, fairly aggressively.]

I set my hands on my hips and sigh. [siiigh] "There's hardly any food to be seen, no matter how far out I go. And to make matters worse, after going too far, I wound up like this," I explain, placing a hand to my chest to indicate myself. I mean the fact that I can't seem to stop narrating my actions, of course. "Does anyone know what to do? It's not as though I don't have any food stored up, but I'd rather not be stingy..."

I shake my head. "I think something like this is a problem from the start, even if it hasn't caused any real issues yet. Tact is important for someone in my position."

Oh, just take a break, then.

[swordthrowing]

[breaks what are breaks]

"I don't see how that would help the situation."

[majin_fukushou]

You're stressed, and this isn't helping. You're on vacation, official as of now.

"Shinki-sama..." I trail off, not knowing how to respond. "I appreciate your concern, but..."

[majin_fukushou]

I'll hear no argument. This is effective immediately.

[swordthrowing]

I sigh. [siiigh] "I suppose I have no choice, then."

[majin_fukushou]

You'll enjoy it. Promise.

[swordthrowing]

"I'll try," I concede.

[majin_fukushou]

There we go! Now, how about I go fetch us some cocoa, hmm?

[swordthrowing]

I almost protest that I can make it, but I stop myself. Then I make a face at the way I'm compelled to say such out loud. [And she does, her brow furrowing and her mouth twisting into a sour little frown.] "If...you would like to do that, Shinki-sama."

[majin_fukushou]

Oh this really is a bit cute...

Just relax, Yumeko. Shinki-sama will take care of everything~
