[Phone to everyone]
[After a few weeks of being here, Denmark is officially capable of using THE PHONE. He is so proud that he feels obligated to broadcast the most menial things over it. It's like giving your grandma a twitter, guys. Just don't.]

Is there a way to make the crazy women in yer house stop talkin'? I don't know what a dinner party is, but it sounds all sorts a' suspicious. I don't want one.

[There's a loooong pause.]
So.
Norge flashed me forward about a thousand a' so years, but he didn't tell me everythin'. If any good food has been created without my knowledge, I should like to try it.

Any suggestions, denizens?

Also if Sweden comes back I am goin' to punch him. Don't tell 'im, it's a surprise.

[ Sure did better learning how to handle the phone than Nurarihyon. He still hasn't got it quite right and he's been in Mayfield for months. ]

Sounds like some sorta party. [ Yeah he's so smart. ] That involves food?

[konge]

[Luckily Denmark has some stubborn teachers.]

You don't say?
Well. I like the food part. It's the gettin' dressed up an' eatin' with the bewitched members of the neighbourin' houses.

[hyon_soudaishou]

Who needs to dress up just to eat and drink? Food and booze's good no matter what you look like.

[konge]

Ha! You're good, I like you. Tell me your name, voice.


S'what I thought. I could eat naked, who gives a damn. Seems like they've made eatin' somethin' of a formality and not out of necessity.

[hyon_soudaishou]

I'm Nurarihyon. Now you tell me yours.

I'd do that too, but my wife made sure I couldn't. [ He's talking about his real wife back in Japan of course. ] Feasts are supposed to be fun, not a fuss.

Danmark, I have already told you about leaving Sverige alone.

[Phone]

[konge]

Oh? You can hear this? [He knows damn well he can, he's just playing dumb]

I'll try.

[Phone]

[alt_for_norge]

I will not have you get yourself into trouble, min kjærlighet.

[The tiniest of smiles twitches at his lips]

[konge]

It won't be me gettin' in trouble, min elskede. Don't worry y'self.

[Food suggestions? Ah, a subject near and dear to her central processing units!]

You'll want to try meatloaf! Possibly not the stuff the drone women make... get someone real to make it for you. It's nice when it's well made. Oh! And peanut butter! It's excellent! Have it on toast.

Let's see... hmm, what have you tried so far?

[The voice has a funny... echo-y sound to it.]

[konge]

Meatloaf? Ha! I like meat and I like, err, I think I like loafs. I'll be sure to get me some a' that.

Peanut butter...huh. Sounds like most of your food is two things combined inta one.

I've had coffee, toast, a handfulla cereal and sliced bread.

[He's assuming this is what some people sound like on the phone, but it's curious.]

[photonicfighter]

It's exactly what it sounds like! A loaf made out of meat! Meat, in a loaf shape!

...and er... not everything is two things combined into one. Tuna casserole involves at least five or six. More, if you're not just using things from cans!

[There's a pause.] Sounds like you've got breakfast down pat. Although you have to try bacon. Bacon is lovely.

[konge]

That's fantastic! I'd never thought of somethin' so wonderful!

Tuna casserole? Wazzat? What are the other five things?? [This guy is a question talker.]

Is that the pink stuff that smells really good when it's cookin'? I like that.

[photonicfighter]

[Questions drive the conversation onwards!] Tuna casserole is canned tuna... it's a kind of fish... combined with noodles, and milk, and vegetables, and cheese, and it's baked, and it's very nice! So I guess that makes it four things... but I like to add sour cream, too. It makes it taste nicer.

And yes! That's bacon! ...or maybe ham? I hear that it's all from the same animal....

[konge]

I know tuna, I did not know it came in cans. That sounds needlessly complicated for fish, how would they possibly fit it in there?

[This is the sound of pure delight.]
That sounds godly. I must have it.

[photonicfighter]

Well, the cans are fairly small... I imagine they process the tuna first. [A pause.] By cutting it up and cooking it. I think.

Ah, I could make it for you, if you don't have anyone in your house that cooks much! I'm pretty good at it. It's Chen's favorite, so I make it a lot... I could bring you some, the next time I do?

[Another pause.] Oh, I don't think I caught your name. And I didn't introduce myself, either! I'm Dakki Sigal.
