[Sonitusia]

Suddenly, the door had burst open, and the man himself was here to investigate. Robert Hark, who's taste buds were of an accuracy like none other in the school. Looking at the business of all the students, he grunted, and began to check each station of 4C. At each one he took a tiny sample to taste.

"Sage, your cranberry sauce has TOO much cranberry!"
"...Nice taste Ajax, keep it going"
"Get your ass up, Isabella!"
"Harriet, why does this taste... How should I say it?... Undercooked?"
"Maria, I swear to god, if you feed me flavored paint ONE more time..."
"Get a move on, Charlotte, Edmund, Sam! The other teams have already started!"
"Your effort is commendable, Miss Townsend."
"Looking good, Natalia."

When he approached En and Ajax's station, Hark patted them on the back. "Get going."

He then stood at the epicenter of 4C's kitchen, and boomed, "We need more dishes, we need more taste, and we need more WORKING! MOVE IT, MAGGOTS, THE INDIANS AREN'T GONNA THANK THEMSELVES!"

Edmund reacted sharply, head turning from side to side, fearful, not too dissimilar to that of a scared deer. "T-t-team? What!" he shouted accidentally

[Charlia]

Charlotte sighed quietly. CAN'T COOK. Also, I'm pretty sure at least one of those two was part Native American. Not grateful. Not grateful at all.

---

Sage, on the other hand, just grinned and added more orange peels before letting out a whoop and pulling the now perfectly-cooked turkey out of the oven. So it doesn't have stuffing. I don't like stuffing.

She nodded awkwardly. "That's cool..."

Her head snapped up. Sam! There she is! She moved over to the other girl quickly. "I'll try, but I should warn you... can't cook to save my life."

Sam smiled while cooking busily, sliding a prepared turkey into an oven.
"That's fine, but I thought of something you can do - help me arrange the turkey slices and sides! Pleeeeease?"

Her face brightened. "That I can definitely do!" She started planning everything out in her mind, and while she was no Van Gogh, she was quite pleased with the idea. Let's do this.

[The GAmeTopians]

Sam nodded, and started preparing the baked potatoes while she gestured to Edmund.
"Edmund, prepare the stuffing, will you? Recipe's right there." She pointed to a note card sitting on the table.

[Unified Free Lands]

Is she... Flirting with me? Please no, of everyone who could be flirting with me, why does it have to be her? thought Akuma, nodding and getting up to go into the bathroom for a shower. Screw my luck...

Akuma really didn't like the idea of a girl flirting with her, because of... Certain events in the past. And now that her best friend was the one possibly flirting with her, she didn't really know how to react.

"Talk to you in a bit then." Miia crossed her hands in her lap for a little while, listening to the water of the shower running. She always thought the sound of water was incredibly calming. Miia got up and got some clothes ready for her own shower and waited a little longer before hearing the water in the bathroom turn off. Miia figured Akuma was dried off and getting dressed by now so she walked to the bathroom door and opened it, not seeing Akuma immediately she started to walk into the bathroom, but her foot caught the door frame and she stumbled into the bathroom and fell, landing on something rather soft, actually.

She didn't move for a few seconds, enjoying whatever it was that she was laying on, before remembering what she had come in here for and began looking for Akuma, but didn't find her as she surveyed the room. Then it hit her, and her cheeks turned a scarlet red as she slowly looked down to see a very much nude Akuma underneath her. She quickly got up off of the girl and rushed out of the bathroom. "I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do that! I thought you were already d-dressed! A-and then the door and the tripping, and then y-you were there.. I'm so sorry!"

"Ah!" shouted Akuma as Miia fell on her, and her face went completely and totally red. Not only was she embarrassed, but this brought some really bad memories to the forefront of her mind, and she rushed to cover up as Miia left. I shouldn't be too mad at her, it's not like she knows... But then again, that seemed strangely intentional. She got dressed quickly, and she walked out of the bathroom with a look on her face that was both nondescript and cold. "You didn't have to do that," she muttered, not believing it was an accident.

[Imperial Northern States]

Sam nodded, and started preparing the baked potatoes while she gestured to Edmund.
"Edmund, prepare the stuffing, will you? Recipe's right there." She pointed to a note card sitting on the table.

"Umm, sure" he replied, shuffling over awkwardly. He picked up the note card, looked over it, "yeah, this is going to go swimmingly" he said under his breath to himself, taking off his gloves before starting, freezing as he does so, slightly. "Absolutely swimmingly"

"Looking good, Natalia."

When he approached En and Ajax's station, Hark patted them on the back. "Get going."

"'Aight, 'aight. Ajax, I trust that you can hold down the cooking while me and Chrono mess with our foes?" En said, not really waiting for a response before she unveiled her arsenal dramatically. "This year, we have replaced the opposing team's yeast blocks with pure capsaicin, and I have these:" She hoisted two baggies, one labeled 'sugar' the other labeled 'salt.' They were packaged identically to the brand the opposing teams were using. "The salt bag is filled with sugar, and vice versa."

A loud explosion with accompanying curses directed to En rang out from some of 4A's students, whose oven had seemingly self-destructed. "Of course, I can't not do the classics." She said, pointing a very specific finger towards the pair of students who were cursing her and her firstborn. "You have any plans?"

[Charlia]

Sam nodded, and started preparing the baked potatoes while she gestured to Edmund.
"Edmund, prepare the stuffing, will you? Recipe's right there." She pointed to a note card sitting on the table.

Charlotte started working with what there was; mainly plates and such, but she got to work anyway.

Sage giggled. "Hi, Prez. I got foxfur in their food... hope the Doc's not allergic to it, otherwise there'll be hell to pay!"

Miia had her head in her hands and she felt like she was about to cry because she felt so bad. "I-it wasn't on purpose, it was an accident, I swear! I didn't see you at first and then I tripped and fell, please believe me! I would never do something like that on purpose without your permission."

[Tracian Empire]

"Was ist ja los mit diese Amerikaner?", Julius said with a low voice. Once again, he spoke in German without even realizing it. Still, the reason for why almost everyone was so excited about this was way beyond his power of understanding. What was this Thanksgiving anyway?

The purple eyed boy sighed as he started to walk towards the other students. He wasn't exactly good at cooking, but he probably also had to help. At least a little.

"With what can I help?", Julius asked.

[Charlia]

Life went on, because it does that.

Amber stiffened visibly when Hark walked past and, once she was sure he wasn't facing her, turned around and glared venomously at his back.

Don't patronise me you...you- Suddenly she was distracted by Natalia, who was staring at her pointedly and holding up the bowl of dough.

'...Think of the pie...' mouthed Natalia, and, clenching her fist, Amber nodded and swallowed her frustration. Natalia sighed in relief and tossed her a peeler.

"Help me out with the apples," she called to Amber "It won't take you much effort right?

"SUre why don't I just do everything? " replied Amber silkily, flinching as the peeler sailed past her head and clattered onto the bench. But she complied anyway, focusing on the instrument for a while until it too rose and then floated over Natalia's work station, where it began peeling the apples she held up by itself.

"I didn't think the other girl would either," muttered Akuma, running out of the room. A tear ran down her face as she remembered things she didn't want to remember, and right now she wanted to get far, far away from Miia. Of everyone to do this, why did it have to be her?

Miia was tempted to go after her, but thought better of it and sighed, yelling at herself internally for being so stupid. She sat on her bed for a while before getting up and taking a shower herself and sitting back down on her bed, no longer interested in doing anything except waiting for Akuma to return so she could attempt to smooth things over.

Akuma didn't know what to do, she sat in the hall and tried to get herself composed again but she was having a hard time, and she ended up creating a pretty big wind storm around her. Eventually she decided she had to face Miia, and she went back to their room, wiping her tears away on her sleeve. "I'm sorry I ran off like that," she muttered. "That just really bothered me, that's all..."

Miia shook her head and spoke quietly. "It's not your fault, it's mine. I should have been more careful. Next time I will just have to wait until I actually see you come out of the bathroom yourself before I go in." She sighed and looked down. "I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't want to hang out today or if you didn't want me as your roommate anymore.."

[The Templar High Council]

Sam nodded, and started preparing the baked potatoes while she gestured to Edmund.
"Edmund, prepare the stuffing, will you? Recipe's right there." She pointed to a note card sitting on the table.

"Can I help?" Satoshi muttered from behind Sam. His bandana was partially over his eyes, but the way he tilted his head his eyes were easy to see. "I was thinking ham. Do you mind if I serve it with you?"

"No, I'm overreacting," muttered Akuma, looking down at her feet. "But... That thing that happened to me that I had the dream about... What you did was kind of similar to that, that's why I'm so upset," she explained.

Miia thought about it for a moment, and her eyes widened in an assumption of what she figured happened to Akuma. "Oh, I think I know what you're talking about.. I'm sorry.." She was silent for a moment. "I guess that's also why you haven't really reacted whenever I tried to flirt with you?"

Akuma nodded. "Yeah," she said softly. "I was hoping that you would get the hint that I'm not interested," she added. Why can't we just be friends without romance ruining this?

"Right." Miia agreed. "I'll stop doing that, then." She stood up and stretched. "Perhaps we should get going then, do you know where you want to go?" Miia was a little disappointed that Akuma didn't feel the same way that she did, but she understood her reasoning.

"I was going to head out to town but let's just go to the cooking contest," sighed Akuma. "I'm hungry, maybe we can find something good to eat there."
She was still on edge, so the winds in the room were stirred up and she didn't notice the wet spot forming on the ground where she was standing.

[Imperial Northern States]

Sam nodded, and started preparing the baked potatoes while she gestured to Edmund.
"Edmund, prepare the stuffing, will you? Recipe's right there." She pointed to a note card sitting on the table.

Edmund waved a hand over "h-h-help me!" He shouts over, "I don't h-h-have a clue"

[Charlia]

"Right." Miia agreed. "I'll stop doing that, then." She stood up and stretched. "Perhaps we should get going then, do you know where you want to go?" Miia was a little disappointed that Akuma didn't feel the same way that she did, but she understood her reasoning.

She was still on edge, so the winds in the room were stirred up and she didn't notice the wet spot forming on the ground where she was standing.

A shadowy figure crept through the halls and slipped a small note through the crack in the door.
The note read 'This school is mine, get out' in scrawled handwriting, and was signed with only a black pawprint and four blood-red scratch marks.
The figure knocked gently, once, twice, three times.
This will let them know I mean business.

Akuma turned and looked at the note, reading it. "What the hell," she muttered in Japanese, picking up the note. She ran out into the hall, looking for who had left it.
