Tenth Sunrise

[yabigfurball]

[Okay. Amaterasu is concerned on a number of levels now. Everyone is acting very strange! She faces Cambot, pulls out her paper and brush, and paints up a quick sketch:]



[She then shows the picture to Cambot as if he should be paying close attention. People should not be behaving like wolves! They should be behaving like people! Otherwise someone's gonna get hurt...or horribly embarrassed!]

[Probably only that they go away after being eaten.]

[Riku sniffs curiously at the turnip and gives it a few licks. After a moment, he takes a bite, tilting his head a bit at the taste. He bats at the turnip, rolling it around a moment before laying down and nibbling slightly on it. It looks like he's not sure if he really likes it or not, but he's eating it because it's a different kind of taste.]

[Leave it to a teenager to barely eat his vegetables.]

[yabigfurball]

[It's true, the sad part about any good food is that eventually it'll be gone.]

[While Riku's not as enthusiastic about it, at least he's eating the turnip. Or, nibbling on it, rather. She thumps her tail some more. What other foods would be good to help jog human memories?]

Someone's sniffing at the baking supplies.]

[halfdarkened]

[He nibbles and gnaws a bit more before moving across the cafeteria, carrying the turnip in his mouth before pawing open one of the cabinets curiously. Hmm, white powder in a container. Another white powder in a container that sparkled slightly. A thick yellow liquid in a container. Some of the little bottles smell very strongly. One like citrus, another like mint, another like berries... There's a couple bags of what look like pebbles. One has dark brown ones, another are tan, and another are white. He can smell that they're sweet, too. Is any of this good to eat? He's not so sure, but it's interesting.]

[Ammy follows him around, watching at what he's sniffing at. It looks like he wants to bake stuff? That's a lot of the materials that she knows goes into a cake.]

[However, she doesn't know how to bake, herself. So she heads back over to the synthesizer, and punches a button for a piece of cake, topped with some berries.]

[halfdarkened]

[Riku turns to see Ammy at the synthesizer. What's she doing now? He heads over to see her make more food. What is that? He sniffs it curiously. It's sweet, and smells similarly to the stuff in the cabinets. He picks at it a little. It is sweet! He quickly and happily takes several (somewhat messy) bites before using a "paw" to wipe his face clean, and naturally a tongue to clean his paw. He doesn't finish it, though. He'd had some meat a while ago, then more recently the few dumplings, and then some of the turnip. He does, however, scoot the plate across the floor to the cabinet. Riku sniffs the cake, then the baking supplies, and then beck at the cake again before barking. These things are related somehow!]

[yabigfurball]

[Ammy waited while he ate through the cake, although she wished that she could demonstrate the use of utensils to him. This was all ending up a little bit messy, and someone would have to clean it up later.]

[It looked like he was full up on food, though. And then came the pushing the plate towards the baking supplies. Maybe he realized that the cake came from baking all those materials together. She looked up at the baking supplies, and barked back. Yes, those things came together to make a cake! But it took practice and the right amounts to make it work right.]

[halfdarkened]

[Riku slowly cocked his head at the contents of the cabinet. Somehow these powders and liquids made something that was fluffy and soft, yet solid. How? They all smelled similar, so they must be connected... That must have been why Ammy used the synthesizer just now. She was showing him that they WERE connected. But how?

Riku sat and looked at Ammy, then the cabinet and the cake with a questioning little whine.]

[yabigfurball]

[Ammy looked back at him, not sure of how to respond. She couldn't really show him baking, since she can't do it on her own. Maybe she could show him some of the components of it.]

[Ammy went around to the various cabinets, and began to pull out some stuff used in baking: bowls, spoons, mixers, and more. She set the objects down on the nearest table in front of them. Maybe he'd get that these were used to turn the ingredients into a cake.]

[halfdarkened]

[If Ammy was pulling them out they must also be related. He got to his feet and took a moment to get his balance before getting to the table. He sniffed at the tools. They smelled like metal and also...

Riku sniffed the air and followed the smell to the sink. There was a slight scent of dish soap on the spoons, bowls and such. Was this related too? It didn't smell at all like the cake, though. It smelled a little like some of the flowers on the nature deck, but it really didn't smell like something he wanted to eat.]

[yabigfurball]

[Hmm. Riku seemed to be going off on some other track now if he was focusing on the sink. She walked over with him, and carefully pushed the sink on so that the water was flowing. She didn't like baths herself, but baths and especially cleaning hands was real important for humans.]
