[Kotone is not a girl used to asking for help. If it's something she can't do on her own, she usually doesn't. But with recent events in town and outside of town, not to mention the passings of the one-year anniversaries of some difficult days from back home, it's been hard to muster her usual good cheer and can-do attitude.]

Hi, everyone! It's Kotone. You might know me from working at Lupin recently. :D

I know we're all really busy, but I wanted to ask if anybody had time to help me rebuild the club building. It's the one that looked like a flat-roofed warehouse on the edge of town? It got destroyed cause of the corruption.

Oh, I'm also still looking for people to help out on Astralin-san's farm, too! Especially with the crops and animals.

[A pause, and then she adds,]

I'd really like to start the cooking and sewing clubs again. :) And if other people had things they wanted to do like club activities, it would be good to have a space for it! I think it's really important to have some normal things to do with all the crazy stuff going on.

[There's not much she feels she can do with everything happening between Ketsora and Rumpitur, but she can try to do something to help the Chosen feel more closely tied together.]

Thank you!!

:O Are you really! I haven't really gone since he started it, but I'm glad. Anyway, I'm happy to teach you if it's something you're interested in. :) Or you could start your own!

Yeah! It's a lot of fun, actually.

I don't know about starting my own, but I wouldn't mind learning how to cook.

[His previous club is...not much of one. He doesn't look like someone in the sumo club.]

[orphne]

Well, if you ever think of something you want to try, just let me know! I'm not doing any of that dumb stuff that schools did like "must have five members" or whatever lol

I'd be happy to teach you what I know! I like baking the most, but I've picked up a few things here and there. It's really fun to cook together with other people -- and then you get to eat it when you're done!

Well, we're not at school, so I guess we don't need to worry about rules anyway, right?

Yeah! I've definitely tried before and it's always been fun. Even if all we ended up with were messes.

[He tries not to think about Bianci's poison cooking.]

[orphne]

Sometimes messes can be rescued!! The original Cooking Club I was part of was started by a friend of mine who really wanted to learn how to cook. She was really enthusiastic-!! But for a while, her cooking and baking ummm... needed work.

It was still really fun to spend time together, though! And I think that's why I want to make sure the building is up and running again for everybody. Just in case. :)

Sounds like my friends with, anything really.

[If nothing else, there is enthusiasm. And the wreckage left in the wake of that.]

Well, I guess that means we'll have to get it back to normal quickly!
