[The video feed clicks on, and oh hey it's the student kitchens in the background. There's two big pots on the stove and a really big rice cooker over there on the counter and oh hello there's a Bulba in the feed now. He's given up on the effort of trying not to seem really tired, and he seems pretty distracted on top of that.]

In case you were wondering um... Kirby had to go back to Dreamland for a while. Something came up...

[He frowns, looking like he really doesn't want to talk about it and makes a motion towards the stove with his head to switch the subject.]

Oh, uh, if anyone's hungry or whatever, I made some curry and... kind of made too much out of habit... There's both spicy and mild so. People are welcome to it so it doesn't go to waste. It's down here in the student kitchens.

Uh... that's it. Thanks.

[And then the feed cuts off.]

[OH GOD. He pulls the lid back off in a hurry and sort of holds it in front of him like a semi-shield as he peers back at the pot.]

Sorry! You surprised me!

[Wait... where is she? WHAT WHAT NO SHE'S BEHIND YOU. IS THAT A HAND ON YOUR SHOULDER?]

Ehehehe! Just kidding!

[rivalsweetscent]

[ISUfsdkjgdhfgkkjfd He jumped a little again like a true pro.]

Oh... haha...

[Well now this is awkward but okay.]

... Hi.

[sworngrave.livejournal.com]

[... what a boring reaction. Bow now looks a bit very disinterested.]

... Hi. Why are you moping about, boy? You look rather bleak.

[rivalsweetscent]

[Sorry, Bow. He's kind of boring.]

Um... My...

[Oh wait they're not. Technically going out anymore. Let's rephrase that.]

A close friend of mine left.

[sworngrave.livejournal.com]

[Bow shrugs.] and?

[rivalsweetscent]

[Uhhh... Bulba shrugs back. It is a series of shrugging.]

And I miss them being here...?

[sworngrave.livejournal.com]

... I don't get it. Why's it such a big deal? Just find another friend. [WHAT IS TACT]

[rivalsweetscent]

Close friends really aren't that easy to just replace. [WHO ARE YOU.]

... You're new, right?

[sworngrave.livejournal.com]

Yes they are. In fact.. [Bow snaps and a boo servant appears.] Here. You can have this guy.


New? Gweh heh! Quite the contrary! You and this school are new, while I am old. [CAN YOU SENSE THE EGO. CAN YOU.]

[rivalsweetscent]

[Suddenly there is another ghost. Bulba blinks at it.] Oh. Er. Hi.

[YEAH HE'S SENSING IT. He's not entirely sure how he's supposed to be reacting to you, miss.]

Well I guess I meant more that you just enrolled? Not that you were, y'know, actually new.

[sworngrave.livejournal.com]

[The boo nods.]

Yes. I have just enrolled, this is true. And you? Are you the school's cook?

[rivalsweetscent]

Huh? [... Oh he did sort of cook a whole ton of food didn't he.] Oh! No, that's Nancy! This is just a hobby.

My name's Bulba, by the way. I've been here for a few years.
