THE WORLD'S ON HEROIN

[attr="class","les"]"What a fucking chore," Mayumi grumbled to herself. Although the thought seemed petty, it sucked that the restaurant didn't have any robot chefs supplied and she had to make dinner for herself. Plopped on top of her plate was an unappetizing-looking lo mein. She twisted the fork in her gloved hand, collecting a large group of noodles, onions, and broccoli, and took a bite. It wasn't as bad as she thought it would've been but it was certainly too hot. Panting, she reached for her iced water and took a lengthy slurp. Much better now.
Slowly consuming her noodles and vegetables, Mayumi reflected on the current state of events; a few contestants had deceased loved ones resurrected (most likely temporarily) and a motive that could lead to the end of the outside world… again. Even with a motive as drastic as this, Mayumi simply paid it no mind. Killing was immoral, even if some cases were justifiable, and that was something she would never get herself involved with. However, she continued to suspect that she wouldn't make it out of here alive. No matter, Mayumi had already found a remarkable friend, so she would die knowing that there was still worth in humanity…
And then she started choking on her lo mein. It was subtle, but it was certainly audible. She took a swig of her water, and it helped ease the pain. She was still coughing, but at least the noodles were coursing down her esophagus. | [attr="class","goodness"]  ✎ 0000 words |

 Good Meals, Good Friends,
Good Laughs, Good Murders, What more could anyone want? Nero had been walking with Valentina to the kitchen when he saw Mayumi supposedly choking on something, possibly her food or something more sinister. Whatever the case was, Nero ran over to Valentina, half dragging her with him.
"Mayumi, are you okay? Should I pat you on the back or something?" questioned Nero as he looked at the Ultimate Graphic Designer with a very worried look on his face, momentarily forgetting about his handcuffs dragging another Ultimate behind him. He remembered slightly was he was supposed to do, but thankfully the choking seemed to disappear rather quickly.
"...Uh, is there a way I can help you?" Nero looked at Mayumi with a look of confusion. For the life of him, he couldn't figure out what to do. It looked like she might have choked on her food, but perhaps she got distracted. He'd offer to make her food for her in the future, but would that sound mean and insulting towards Mayumi.

[attr="class","les"]Mayumi felt relieved once Nero and Valentina arrived, but by the time Nero dragged the zombie to her table, the noodles had completely been digested by then. She coughs one last time and takes another sip of water.
"I'm fine, just got choked up a bit on my fucking noodles, but I appreciate your concern," she gave Nero a shy smile of gratitude. She eyed Valentina who didn't look to fazed by Nero half-dragging her to the table for assistance.
A thought crossed Mayumi's mind.
"But since the two of you are here, I don't mind you sitting with me, it would be nice to get to know you better. As for you, Valentina, are you still interested in my offering? This could be like me acting as a… life coach? Yeah, definitely a fucking life coach. After all, our counselor is going through her typical emo phase and hates your guts like most of our other peers. If not however, I'm still fine casually talking with you here, same goes for you, Nero."
As she said that, Mayumi finished up her noodles, though she was still hungry. Since this was her dinner, she thought it would be appropriate to order some dessert. With the word 'dessert' crossing her mind, she realized that she had never tried any of Nero's pastries yet. She underestimated their worth, but was curious nonetheless.

[attr=class,mbox] Valentina solemnly looked towards Mayumi as she sat down at the table. She went quiet for a few minutes, before eventually spouting: "Considering all of my allies could be counted on one hand, I say I need something more than just a life coach. I need a whole team of experts devoting their entire lives to helping me out and nothing more. I probably require an entire corporation, CEO and all, to only produce aid for my journey of becoming a good guy. That's, of course, forgetting the centuries of prison time I'm going to be serving by the courts for all the crimes I've done. In the end, though, I guess you are the best I can get right now. How can a Goddess such as myself become human?" She dropped her head straight onto the table and simply groaned. This was followed by a mumbling of cake to be served for desert. |  The Life and Times

[attr="class","les"]"And that's where your first issue lies, self-centeredness. Regardless of whether you're thinking highly or terribly of yourself, what remains the same is that fucking egotistical manner you present your beliefs."
Mayumi took another gulp of her water. She never believed for one second that Valentina a god, she was an atheist after all, but she decided to have fun with the concept for the time being.
"So your first step into redeeming yourself is becoming more humble about things. Just look at Nero. Sure, he's too trusting in others and a bit of a fucking butt monkey, no offense dude, but he puts others before himself and that's what truly matters in his shitt. Just don't try to do it to an extent like he does, or you might as well do something you'll regret."
She took a good look at Nero.
"Look, helping people is great. I gotta admit, it's pretty chivalrous for you to keep wanting to put the burden of a bomb collar on yourself, but you have to keep a closer eye on your well being, more than you already do right now. I want you to make it out of this shithole in one piece, not just you but Valentina as well, myself, and every other fucking person stuck in this damn restaurant,!" She sighs.
"But what am I to say? I can't predict the fucking future."
She turns to Valentina again.
"So what are your thoughts so far? I'm fine if you disagree with whatever I say as long as you don't get violent because of it. After all, you don't wanna be as shitty a god as Khepri, right?" | [attr="class","goodness"] ✎ 0000 words |

[attr=class,mbox] Valentina simply laughed. "Don't try to pretend that you didn't see me die and resurrect again. If that's not a trait of a Goddess, then I don't know what is." She continued to laugh harder and harder. "And Khepri probably helped resurrected me. Which means that I do have an equal. I don't think I'm better than Khepri herself!" She continued to laugh until it died out into a dead silent. She gave the most confused as she dazed off past Mayumi and onto nothing in particular behind her. She only mumbled "Amduat." A crooked smile began to form and her face softened to that of a kitten. She quickly grabbed a napkin and went over to a shiny reflection in the countertop within the current distance of Nero's arm and started slowly touching up her face.
She quickly turned around. "I'm not the only Goddess here!" She squealed as she jumped up and down. "I'm not alone! I have a mate! Oh thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!" She ran and proceeded to hug Mayumi tightly with tears streaming down her face

[attr="class","les"]For Mayumi, this was the first time since the location change that she felt surprised, but not just that… but also blissful.
Although Mayumi had disagreeed with everything Valentina said right now - such as her misinterpreting her comment (comparing Valentina to Khepri, who has the head of a dung beetle, means that she's a shitty god), bringing up the argument of Mayumi seeing her death right before her eyes (during the execution Valentina was encased by plants before her 'death,' so she couldn't have known that), and Valentina's recent delusion of Mayumi being a god - everything that she said also made her tingle inside with joy.
The artist's ego was always practically nonexistent after she formed her opinions on humanity (with the exceptions of her performances in the competitions and her body positivity), but this certainly increased her confidence in herself. Mayumi recalled Valentina referencing the Amduat, a book that listed all of Ra's (the sun god) friends and foes, and it appeared that Mayumi was an ally of hers if Khepri shared that role. On top of that, Khepri was male. The graphic designer didn't want anyone to know this, but she always wanted to be the opposite gender, as she identified with boys more and they had more rights than girls. The thought of her being the reincarnation of a male made her feel warm inside, even though she knew it was untrue. And then there was the hug.
As soon as Valentina came into contact with Mayumi's soft skin, she blushed deeply and an ecstatic smile appeared on her face as she closed her eyes. She hadn't been hugged or hugged anyone in years, despite how her parents always said that she gave the best hugs because of her teddy bear-like qualities, but what really mattered was that she was hugging someone her age, who believed in her.
Mayumi didn't need to say anything, this hug just spoke for itself, whether or not she was a deity or a mortal. She signaled Nero to join in, who had been forcefully dragged by Valentina, this was something she didn't want anyone to miss out on. | [attr="class","goodness"] ✎ 0000 words |

[attr=class,mbox] She backed off the hug before Nero could get in on it. She sat down with tears of joy running down her face. "Thank you, Mayumi. Thank you for finally making me realize that Khepri has been also placed on this planet with me. Thank you for finally making me realize that Khepri is none other than Caelie Ariane!" She smiled with joy as she spun in place with her arms giving herself a hug. "It all fits! The God of Resurrection would of course write the grimmest of novels for our pleasures. They are so beautifully written that I actually had a tinge of respect when reading one of them a while back. Of course!" She became so giddy that it was almost as if she was high off the revelation. "For the first time in a while, I feel actually love without the jealousy attached to it. I can picture it now. Millions of watchers gather as two Gods reconcile their love underneath a temple constructed in their honor. Khepri and Nefertemu will be married. Finally, that's the final push to make amends. Removing the fatal flaw itself by having someone to live for, to strive for, to care for." She once again went back and hugged Mayumi tightly. "Thank you for making me realize this Mayumi! Thank you for making me see that their can be love without jealousy. You are a truly great friend." | Khepri

[attr="class","les"]Welp, that was unexpected.
Mayumi knew that Valentina was very fond of Caelie, but she didn't know that the loon would take it this far. Admittedly the artist had misinterpreted the aromatherapist's message, but hey, everyone makes shitty mistakes. More importantly though, Valentina was happy, and had truly changed, she could see it in her golden eyes. From the moment Valentina said her 'last words' to Mayumi and no one else before her execution, to the recent hug, Mayumi was very impressed by the girl's growth. Regardless of Valentina's god complex and what Caelie's reaction to this would be like, it wasn't her problem. She did pity Nero however, having to deal with Valentina's excessive energy.
"A-any time!" Mayumi stuttered.
"If you n-need help w-with anything else, I'm always available!"
To finally have more than one person value her as a "great friend" made her tickled pink, things really were changing for the better… but she shouldn't get attached, she wouldn't want history to repeat itself again. Regardless, she sent Nero a subtle wink, which could've meant anything hypothetically, but Mayumi's intent was to signal that although she didn't believe Valentina's 'godliness,' she's willing to help her any way she can.
"With that said and done, how about we go celebrate by getting some fucking cake?"
Since there weren't any robotic staff operating in the kitchen, the three would have to bake a cake themselves (thanks to Valentina's suggestion), but it would be much easier now that they're in the presence of the Ultimate Baker. | [attr="class","goodness"] ✎ 0000 words |

Good Meals, Good Friends,
Good Laughs, Good Murders, What more could anyone want? Nero had been slightly distracted as the two talked. Really, he wanted to allow Valentina to have some privacy with Mayumi, but he started to get distracted. However, his brain kicked him back into action the second he heard 'cake'. He was born for this moment.
"Are we to make a cake together, for the sake of friendship? How wonderful!" noted Nero with a great smile, as he practically picked up Valentina with a jump in his step, before looking at Mayumi with a great smile on his face. After a few moments, he happily started to walk towards the kitchen. As he walked, he looked backwards at Mayumi, as if to give her a smile of thanks for her support, before he happily looked forward again, marching to the kitchen.
"What type of cake should we make? Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Cheesecake... There's so many wonderful options! How about... to commemerate the fact that the three of us are in 'Hell's Kitchen', we make a Devil's Food Cake?" asked Nero, looking back at the two for a moment, almost like an over enthusiastic puppy happily realizing the joy of playing with his owner.

[attr="class","les"]As curious as she was about Nero’s baking capabiklities, Mayumi wasn’t too big on cake herself. Maybe apple cake, but that’s basically apple pie without the texture and cinnamon. Regardless, she thought that if she tries whatever kind of cake Nero would make, then he could jumpstart her liking for cake.
“Hold up,” she exclaimed. When Nero smiled at her for her support, it really warmed her heart. She smiled back.
“Sounds good to me. Now then, let’s fucking do this shit!”
She followed the two into the kitchen. Mayumi didn’t know how to bake at all, but hopefully Nero could teach her. Besides, what could possibly go wrong in baking a cak- oh right, Valentina’s still here. At least she’s amicable to the cynic now, so she most likely won’t be a problem. | [attr="class","goodness"] ✎ 0000 words |
