I Just... Don't Want You To See Me Like This
[Little Sue hasn’t told anyone in Mayfield this, but… she’s actually well versed in losing people in her life. Her parents passed on when she was very young, and her surrogate uncle, Justin’s father, too. She had to separate from Justin and Feena back home after becoming physically exhausted by their journey and go home after crossing the End of the World. Since her arrival in Mayfield, she’s lost two good friends to droning, and now, Sunny…
Sunny… hurts even worse than the others. With Sunny, it was easy to momentarily forget about their situation, their kidnapping from home and inability to escape from Mayfield, and just be a young girl. They played together, baked together, had an impromptu sleepover during the last trial Mayfield threw their way. Sunny was like the younger sister Sue always wanted. She was her best friend… and she misses her.
But Sue is adopting her usual method of dealing with loss in three steps: keep busy, fake it until make it (being happy, that is) and appreciate the people still with her. She’s not alone… and it’s imperative that no one think that she’s just a child. People have enough to worry about, she doesn’t want to add herself to anyone’s list. She just hopes that they won’t notice that her smile is a wee bit forced and that she seems a bit quieter than normal…]
[Action: 1486 Kramden Road]
[Sue has made a biiiiig breakfast for everyone. There’s an excessive amount of pancakes, waffles, and French toast, and a sliced up a grapefruit for each of her housemates. It’s alright if you can’t finish it all, Puffy can eat whatever is leftover… really. For such a small creature, he’s got a big appetite! She hopes you’ll all enjoy it!]
[Action: Library]
[Sue is searching for a dessert cookbook that will allow her to expand her cooking horizons. She likes making cookies, but making them without Sunny… it’s just not the same. Time to try something new…]
Hmmm… this looks good. But would it be too difficult? Do I have everything needed to make it?
[Action: Park]
[On her way home, Sue stops at the park with Puffy to run around and get some exercise. But she’s grown used to seeing Dia and Lax there and she misses them sorely too. After a few minutes of chasing Puffy gamely, she sighs, plops down on a bench and pulls a charm out of her pocket, looking at it almost longingly for a while.]
[Later, Phone]
Hey, everyone, it’s Sue! I decided to try and expand my cooking skills, so I made something I don’t usually bake: a cake! It’s chocolate with chocolate frosting! Maybe that’s too decadent, but I figure everyone should be allowed to indulge in something heavy in calories sometime! Would anybody like a slice? I taste tested it myself, it was yummy! I wouldn’t offer anyone something that I didn’t enjoy myself, after all! And Puffy gave it a seal of approval too!
Oh, and if anyone has any recommendations on good treats that I could try to make, I’d appreciate it! I’m always looking for new recipes to try out!

The...the decadence! The...oh God...it's so beautiful.]
Did...did you do this? DID YOU CREATE THIS??

Of course! Sit down and dig in while it's still warm! Can I get you a drink?
no subject
Still, if Sue is hiding it that means Arcueid shouldn't really bring it up. Besides, there's breakfast to be had, so Arcueid does as instructed and sits down.]
Sure! I'll take a beer!
[Yep, bad influences have caused the woman to enjoy drinking even this early in the day. She won't drink a lot...but she's found that beer can even go well with breakfast.
Hey, if she wants to be a typical 1950s alcoholic she will! To be honest though that's all she could think of at the moment. Like hell she'll ever touch Mayfield milk again.]
no subject
[Sue had honestly anticipated coffee or something... And, and didn't you have an episode trying out alcoholic beverages in recent history?]
Does... does beer taste that good?
no subject
I bet a lot of people don't like it, though. It's got a weird taste.
[Though, after making her statements Arcueid can't hold back anymore. DESTROYING THIS FOOD.]
no subject
[Sue dutifully retrieves a beer from the fridge, looking at it questioningly. She hasn't even learned how to appreciate coffee without extreme amounts of sugar and cream yet... Beer is probably beyond her understanding. She brings it to Arcueid and smiles as she watches her hard work be consumed.]
Is it good?
no subject
[Yes, she really is essentially destroying this food, barely even touching that beer.
Breakfast is her favorite, after all.]
no subject
I'm glad you like it! It always makes me feel happy when you enjoy my cooking, Arcueid! It makes me want to get better and learn how to make new, tastier dishes for you!
no subject
[Yea, trying to talk with her mouth full. Oops.]
Hrm...yes, that sounds like a good idea!
