[light footsteps, followed by the sound of someone sitting down and a bored sigh]

Hmmm...I can't say I recall giving you the power to transport me to unknown ocations, boy. Although...I don't think I'm dead. [cue chuckling]  I doubt the afterlife would be so kind to me anyway.

What's even more troubling is that Cheese-kun isn't here. A pity, as he's far more sensible than you. I'll have to start searching immediately. After all his safety is my responsibility.

Still an idea of where I am would be nice. That and a fresh slice of pizza....that would make this little field trip all the more enjoyable indeed.

_{Please be safe, dark prince. I'd hate to waste this vacation worrying over you.}

[C.C.]

That's correct.

Give me a few minutes, then.

[a long pause and then Lelouch is outside of her room and knocking at her door, pizza in hand]

[Lelouch]

[opens the door with a lazily expression until she sees the pizza, which is when she starts to smile]

Lelouch.

[Room Filter Forever]

C.C.

[walks in, noticing her reaction to the pizza] I hope that this is to your liking... There are so many variations possible.

[cuewaterdrop.livejournal.com]

[takes the box out of his hands, moving to set it on the bed]

Pizza is made with burnt hands and patience. Any and all of it is to my liking.

[vanished-prince.livejournal.com]

Ah, that makes it simple...

[walks further in and closes the door behind him, leaning against it]

[cuewaterdrop.livejournal.com]

[sits down on the bed, opening the box with the smile still in place; glances up at him questioningly]

I suppose I should offer you some, shouldn't I?

[vanished-prince.livejournal.com]

Well, I could have a slice, I suppose...

[walks over and stands beside the bed, watching C.C. for some sign of assent]

[cuewaterdrop.livejournal.com]

[stares at the pizza before picking up the smallest slice and handing it]

Is this enough for you?

[vanished-prince.livejournal.com]

[amused by the fact that she gives him the smallest piece]

Sure. If you're hungry after this, you can always have another one brought to you.

[cuewaterdrop.livejournal.com]

[throws herself against the pillows, crossing her legs]

And you're sure this place isn't heaven.

[vanished-prince.livejournal.com]

I'm quite sure of that. There are some other less pleasant aspects to life here...

[cuewaterdrop.livejournal.com]

[bites into her slice...frowns for a moment then shakes her head, chewing]

Such as?

[vanished-prince.livejournal.com]

The periodic temporary losses that can affect things like age, gender, personality, and the like. The random dangerous events that occur here on occasion...

[cuewaterdrop.livejournal.com]

Sounds like fu-

[abruptly frowns and sits up]

...There's something wrong with this pizza.

[vanished-prince.livejournal.com]

Hm...? Is there? [takes a small experimental bite of his own piece, chewing thoughtfully and then swallowing]

It tastes good to me... What's wrong with it?

[cuewaterdrop.livejournal.com]

[staring in horror now after taking another bite]

.......

Taste mine. [gets on her knees and practically shoves the half-eaten slice in his mouth]

[vanished-prince.livejournal.com]

[stares back at C.C. and nearly chokes in surprise as she shoves the pizza into his mouth, but recovers and takes a bite]

That tastes fine as well... What do you find amiss? Perhaps it could use a little more salt, if one is particularly fond of salty flavors...

[cuewaterdrop.livejournal.com]

[frowns darkly]

I....I can't taste it at all. Nothing.

[vanished-prince.livejournal.com]

...

If you like pizza that much... I'd guess that it must be your permanent loss.

[cuewaterdrop.livejournal.com]

.......


Take me to whomever is responsible for this.

[vanished-prince.livejournal.com]

...

If I knew who that was, don't you think I would have addressed my own loss by now?

The truth is, it's either the castle itself or someone else remotely pulling the strings, but no one here has been able to determine anyone outside of the castle itself as being responsible. So, if you have something to say... you can address the place yourself, but it's unlikely to do any good.

[cuewaterdrop.livejournal.com]

[obviously very displeased with this. when she speaks again it is in a low almost mournful tone]

What am I expected to eat then?

[vanished-prince.livejournal.com]

... Anything else, assuming that your loss isn't related to all food. Try something different than pizza.

[cuewaterdrop.livejournal.com]

Unacceptable. My diet is defined by the excellency that characterizes pizza.

[vanished-prince.livejournal.com]

... Then you could continue to eat pizza without properly tasting it, I suppose.
