[backdated] food is a good motivational tool

Who: Cheren and Bianca
When: following this
Where: A restaurant around the plaza
Style: I don't even care
Status: Closed!

[Although the two of them--well, 18 of them counting Pokemon--had managed to clear out Bianca's old apartment and move her belongings into her new place, Cheren still had a nagging feeling that it would take a long time before Bianca sat down and actually unpacked her stuff. Knowing Bianca as long as he had, he was sure that nagging feeling would be right unless he offered to help fix that problem himself.

Unfortunately, as much as he would have loved to get all of that out of the way as soon as possible, other things had gotten in the way. Things like food and being hungry. Packing things and carrying boxes all day did tend to work up an appetite, after all, which is why instead of unpacking Bianca's belongings, she and Cheren were down in the Plaza, searching for a good place to eat.]

What did you feel like eating, anyway, Bianca?

[Cheren was right. As soon as they were done unpacking, Bianca would have just gotten out the blankets and pillows for her bed. Other then that, she would have let the boxes sit there for who knows how long. If Cheren kept bugging her about it, then perhaps she might,

Now wasn't the time to be thinking such things. Right now, she was hungry and wanted something to eat!]

Hm, I don't know, what do you feel like eating? There's plenty of food here we can eat whatever you want!

Well, something quick and easy to eat would be better than something more along the lines of a sit-down restaurant. We have a lot of work to do still, and the longer it takes us to eat, the longer it will take before your apartment is completely set up. [he's hoping that by making somewhat convincing arguments but still talking about food, maybe Bianca can be persuaded to work efficiently and get things unpacked properly and all that good stuff. As much as he does like spending time with his best friend, he also wants her to be less lazy about things. There was always time later on to eat at a nice restaurant together if they ever wanted to, after all.]

But we got all the time in the world! So why don't we just sit down and relax for a bit? There's no real hurry to finish everything so quickly!

[Meanwhile, Bianca is the opposite. It felt like time had no real meaning here and that whatever they did, they could always just do it tomorrow. There was no pressure to do what they wanted to do.]

Well, no, we don't have to eat quickly, but you know how long it takes to order and get food in a restaurant. Don't you want your place set up today? Better having it set up now than you having to sleep on my couch or something because there's no room in your place with boxes and bags all over. [complete opposites, really. How are they even best friends.]

It's okay, I'll find the box that is filled with the pillows and blankets! I won't have to sleep on the couch! It shouldn't take too long to find them and if I don't, the couch isn't that bad to sleep in! I think it's kind of comfortable after a while!

Can you even find the bed amongst all those boxes? Especially if you're going to be digging around for the one filled with blankets and pillows. You might wind up making more of a mess that way. [THAT WAS ALMOST PARTIALLY A JOKE THERE. It was half serious, though.]

[hm....]

If it's like that, that just means I can sleep anywhere I want in the apartment! If it's messy, that just means it would be more comfortable!

[Bianca that's... not how things work... Cheren just sighs at her suggestion because wow logic.]

I don't think sleeping around tens of boxes is that comfortable, myself. Have you done something like that before? [WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED]

[Have some nervous laughter!]

...It was once when I was bored at my house but I fell asleep when I did. I was really tired that day! When I woke up, I found myself back in my bedroom though!

[y e a h not surprised at all, all things considered.]

Probably because someone else moved you there. I wouldn't recommend trying it here.

[That's Bianca for you!]

Then I'll just sleep on the floor? It isn't that bad but I guess the bed or the couch would be nicer...

[never change, Bianca. ...Even if Cheren would like it if she did get to be more sensible.]

How about we just unpack everything once we're done and avoid all of that. [yes, this is said in that 'we're doing this and that's final' sort of tone.]

Anyway, have you decided where you want to eat?

[For a moment, Bianca sighed. If there was one thing she knew about Cheren, once he wanted to do something, he was going to do it. Even if it was something as simple as unpacking some boxes.]

Fiinnneeee....

I'm good with whatever you want to eat! Buuttt we could always go to that one restaurant Italy showed me a while ago! We can go there if you want!

[he wants to do it for your own good, Bianca. He's thinking about you, okay! And he pauses to consider that for a moment. He doesn't really know what sort of place this restaurant is, but he supposed it was a fair trade to let her pick where they go in exchange for doing what he wanted.]

If you want to go there, I'm fine with that. What kind of place is it?

It's a place where we can eat pasta and whatever kind of seafood there is! [hur hur hur]

So does that mean we can go there after all? I mean, do you want to?

[Seafood Cheren's probs had enough of, being in Vatheon and Vatheon being where it was. Pasta, though, that sounded good.]

Like I said, if you want to go there, I don't mind. It's a fair trade off for agreeing to unpack your stuff when we get back.

Really?

[With that, she grabbed his hand and off they go!]

Then we better hurry before it decides to close on us!

[Next habit to train her out of: dragging people around. And by people he means him.]

What time does it close? It's not that late out yet.

I'm not sure! [Oh Bianca]

But we should hurry anyway! Just in case if does decide to close on us!

[Oh, Bianca indeed. That's literally his thought process atm.]

Right. Well, lead the way. I'm not sure where this restaurant is, that's up to you.

All right, follow me!

[With that, Bianca quickly went straight for the restaurant. Since the mun has no idea where it is, Bianca will just keep on walking until she finds it!]

And here it is! And we made it just in time, it didn't close down on us! Hooray!

[looking at the sign just to be sure. They still had plenty of time, it turns out. Welp, no sense in crushing her spirits by mentioning that.]

So, you've been here before, right? [and know what's good and isn't good?]

Yeah, I have and I think most of the stuff here is pretty good!

[pause]

I only tried one pasta dish but if it's good, doesn't that mean the rest usually are?

[Not always]

[Bianca, noooo]

Not necessarily. If you get a different sort of sauce or different ingredients with the pasta, you'll get a different flavor, and sometimes some are more appealing than others.

Oh like what? [Hm...]

Then does that mean you already know what you're going to get? Because I do! I'm getting the Alfredo pasta again!

[That is quite the leap of logic there, Bianca. Cheren just has to sigh at that.]

I haven't even had time to look over the menu yet, Bianca. [but since she'd been here before]

What else would you say is good here?

Hm...

Depends on what you want! Do you want some more seafood or just pasta?

I think being in Vatheon means I've had enough seafood to last me a lifetime. Pasta would probably be better.

Hm...

I'm not sure! [Oh Bianca] I got the Alfredo Pasta last time so I thought it would be nice to try it again! Unless there might be something else that looks interesting...

[reading over the menu, give him a second before responding.]

Maybe I'll try the pesto pasta. Pesto's usually not bad.

Then it's settled! [With that, she waltzes right into the restaurant and ask for a seat for two]

Hm, I think we can get the thing we both want! I want to eat at a place like this and if we order now, it will get here faster!

[and he can agree with that. Mostly because she does have a point--the sooner they order their food, the sooner it will come out. So, the sooner they can eat it, and get back to doing important things. And by important things, he would mean making sure Bianca stops slacking and unpacks her stuff.]

Sounds good enough for me. Hopefully it won't take them too long to cook this. I don't know how long it will take to unpack most of your things today, so the more time we have, the better.

[Ahaha unpacking...AHAHAHAHA]

The last time I remembered, it took them about 20 minutes or so to cook so...about that time then?

[But she's hoping it might take just a biiiittttt longer]

Well that isn't too bad. Where did you want to sit? You can pick it out, I'm sure I won't mind. [HE IS HOPING IT WILL TAKE SOONER BUT THAT IS NO SURPRISE.]

Hm...how about over at the window? It would be nicer that way, don't you think! We can just sit back and relax some more!

The window sounds fine. [and off he goes toward the window seat!]

So, do you have a general idea of how you want your new apartment to be set up? It'd be better going into this with an idea of what you want, after all.

Hm...I'm not really picky, my apartment back home was just simple! I didn't paint or do anything to it!

Oh well, I'll just have to think up of something!

Well, we can still do something simple here, if that's what you'd prefer. As far as things you'll need for decoration and furniture, I'd say you're set for now. Unless there was something you didn't have in your old place that you think you'll need here.

Hm...maybe we could add some flowers? Or maybe add some green and orange to the new apartment?
