Hello everyone

I think I've been gone for a while. I have 340 new post replies dating back to about one month ago... I guess I was maybe... a statue... so apparently, that's something that really does happen in this place.

Who put me back in my house? What exactly happened this past month? Something with dragons? Is everyone alright??

And does anyone have something I can eat, right now? The food I have here has all gone bad.

Thanks...

LINK! oh man i thought youd been sent back!

ive got food at the cafe

dragons were a pain and destroyed a LOT but i kept the cafe safe in between getting them away from other people

[bakedapple]

Are you alright Rin? Is the town alright? What happened?

May I come over to eat?

[satanslash]

bit bruised from getting tossed around but i survived it

and yeah always man, come get your fill

[bakedapple]

[Link arrives at Rin's cafe about half an hour later. He looks no different from usual, although he's still bundled up as if it were as cold as it was in February.

He walks back into the kitchen, where he assumes Rin is.]

Rin, it's me, Link. I wouldn't mind a bowl of soup, if you've got any...

[satanslash]

[Good guess. His laptop is sitting out at an otherwise empty table nearby, but he has relocated back in to the kitchen to work on things and wait for Link to arrive.]

You sure you don't want more than that?

[bakedapple]

[Link grins at him.]

Well, if you're offering more than that, I won't turn it down.

[He leans casually against the edge of the counter.] Man, I'm so glad everyone turned out alright while I was a statue.

you were a statue for a month?

[bakedapple]

It's hard for me to confirm if that's what happened. I don't remember... being a statue. But I once heard a rumor that it afflicts people randomly sometimes, and I'm not sure how to explain the gap in my memory otherwise.

Did anything else happen that made people call unconscious this month?

[parakalein]

I'm not sure, I just turned up a couple of weeks ago.
How long were you here, before you became a statue?

[bakedapple]

ah, I see... welcome, then. Although I'm sure others have told you already, we are all in the same situation and we are trying to stick together through this. Please ask me if you need help with anything.

I've been here for about four months, not including when I was a statue.

I don’t have a lot of food, but I have a potion that improves the flavor of colorless things.

[bakedapple]

Really?

Where did you get it

[passio]

A friend left it with me. I don’t really need it, but it might help if you want some variety from around town.

[bakedapple]

Oh. There's no reason to give me something special like that. I can get along with the restored food well enough.

Thank you, though.

[passio]

I see. Is there a food you really want?

hey glad to see you're still around

ever been to Pyra's ramen stall? if youre hungry she can throw something together for you

[bakedapple]

[Pyra...

their last interaction was, well, awkward. He thinks of an excuse.]

I have but it's kinda far from where I am right now. Do you know anyplace good in Flavo?

[lacrimose]

[Fortunately for him, Akira is oblivious.]

There's a couple of nice cafes around town. do you know them?

sorry for the wait!

[bakedapple]

don't think so but maybe you can take me to your favorite. Whichever one has the best food... or tea. Hot tea

likewise...!!

[lacrimose]

sounds good. i'll take you to the onsen afterward too
you'll need to loosen up after being a statue for that long.

[ Well. That's really fucked up. ]

Were you able to get something to eat?

[bakedapple]

A little. If you're offering, I'd definitely still take it.

[shizun]

I can't promise it will be tasty, but it will be edible.

[ This is a statement that sparks joy. No, no, it isn't. ]

sorry for the wait!

[bakedapple]

I'm not picky. A lot of the food I make is barely edible, too, but I still eat it anyway. It's not good to waste food.

no worries!!

[shizun]

[ Please don't say shit like that. That's enough to worry this old man, okay?! ]

It is. But don't just eat it because it's edible. You deserve a good meal once and awhile, ah?
