It's finally time to reap the rewards you've earned from all that hard work collecting and returning the Hope orbs! Be careful walking the streets during the small earthquakes, but feel free to admire the scenery as your beautiful city reassembles its way back into its former glory.

There are new houses where the destroyed buildings once were, and they're perfect for a single person or pair of lovebirds. In addition, you'll find that the electricity to these new houses, and all other homes and shops in the city is restored. The food is better, the monsters are gone- hey, this city might be livable again!

To cap it all off, we've got a feast waiting for you on the 19th! Come one, come all, and enjoy all of your favorite foods, drinks, and party games. It's been awhile since we've all gotten together to celebrate something good, so get your party on and toss all your troubles away!

He did. 

  [She smiles at the memory.]   

Breakfast for dinner with the high life eggs was the first meal he cooked for me.  He had this trick where he could toss an egg up in the air and have it land on his spatula, cracking it open into the bowl.  It was very cool.  He was unique.   

  [And now Hannibal is gone. There is something bittersweet about the meal; nevertheless, she takes a plate and joins him.]

Sounds like a fun guy. [Kiran shrugs and flashes her a grin before continuing to eat. The food is actually pretty damn good. He doesn't regret taking as much as he did.

After a few more bites he continues the conversation.] So you, like... lived with him then, if he was cooking for you all the time? He sounds more like your dad or something than a doctor.

[am_i_a_monster]

He was fun. A kind of formal fun.

  [When he wasn't killing anyone, or manipulating her to kill.  And a part of her even misses that.] 

I did.  I lived with him for about a year back home.   And a few months here before he disappeared.   Yeah, he was like a dad.  He became my guardian after my parents died.

[ex_matricide319]

Ah. Sorry to hear that.

[The tone of his voice dips just enough to show some sympathy, but the topic feels too awkward for him to say anything else. He chows down in silence. Why would they bring her guardian here, send him back, and then have a bunch of his cooking at this party? The gods' behavior makes no sense to him. And it seems they're like this towards everyone, not just him.

The thought stews in his head for another moment before he looks up again.]

...that tikka masala from earlier, that was my mom's. They brought her food over here too, like your doctor's.

[am_i_a_monster]

Thanks.

  [Abigail nods, though that information raises several questions for her.  The most important one being if his mother's cooking is a good or bad memory for him.  She has many reasons to not want any of her own father's cooking there.   Hannibal's food holds only good memories for her, since she never learned the truth about him.   There's no easy for her to ask about the associations that he makes with food, without mentioning her past or sounding as anyatlical as Hannibal.  Instead, she simply asks.] 

Do you want to talk about her?
