My jaw drops as I stare at the guy who's standing in front of me.

"Andy!?" I gasp. "Wh- what are you doing here!? Shouldn't you still be in recovery!?"

I mean, he got his TONGUE CUT OFF!! What the hell's he doing working here as a waiter!?

"Eheh..." Andy flashes a pained smile, "I'm mostly recovered, and I -do- kind of have to make rent and all that. And it's not like I could go back to my old job, what with the place turning into a freaking bloodbath while I was in the hospital."

I'd almost forgotten about that.

"Anyways," he says, holding out his arms, "it's nice to see some familiar faces here! CC... my lovely benefactor Miss Gauthier... and who's this little lady?" he asks, turning to Gabrielle.
"This is my little sister," Charlotte replies.
"Oh, I should've known!" he laughs.

After properly introducing himself to Gabrielle (she doesn't really seem interested), Andy shows us to a nice corner booth.

Andy seems to be doing well enough in the health area... that's a relief.

"So you have a full-time thing here now?" I ask.
"As of a couple of days ago, yeah," Andy replies with a nod. "I was jsut a part-timer until one of the other guys who works here went missing for a few days. They were in a real bind so they bumped up my hours and now I have steady income again."
"That's good to hear," I say. "Ah- about you having a job again, I mean! Not about your coworker going missing!"

I don't want to come across as some kind of sociopath here!

"Eh, he popped back up yesterday," Andy says, patting me on the shoulder reassuringly. "Probably went on a bender or something..." he says, rolling his eyes. "But anyways, back to the job!"

He pulls out three menus from his apron and hands one to each of us.

"I'll be back in a little bit, but feel free to take all the time you need, alright!" Andy gives us a thumbs-up. "There's no way in hell that I'd rush the girl who I owe my life to, after all!" he says, winking at Charlotte.
"Eheh..." she smiles back at him.

Caviar pizza? Ew. This place has WAY too wide a selection of stuff to get on a pizza, just looking at this huge list of everything that they offer as toppings is overwhelming.

"Hey Charlotte," I ask, putting down the menu for a bit to give my eyes a rest.
"Hm?"
"Have you two heard anything from your father lately?" I ask.
"I talk to him on the phone -every single day-," Gabrielle boasts. "But Charlotte's too busy playing kissyface with you to give him a call, I bet.

Hearing her little sister's accusation (Which isn't entirely wrong), Charlotte starts to blush.

"Wwwwwhile I don't call him as much as I ought to, I do make sure to at least text him at least once every day!" Charlotte stammers. "A- and I'll have you know that I spoke to him on the phone just this morning! Isn't that right, Cecile!?"
"Huh?" I glance at her.
"Remember? I was talking on the phone while you cooked us breakfast?"
"Uh... that was yesterday, not today. I didn't stay over last night, remember?"

She looks SO guilty right now, it's absolutely hilarious.

"So nothing's going on with your father then?" I ask, trying to spare Charlotte from any more embarrassment.
"He's busy," Gabrielle says. "He's got people looking over that book that you and Mina had and he's doing business stuff while that's going on."
"Yes..." Charlotte's face darkens.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, don't worry about it," she says with an obviously forced smile.

"You know you can tell me, right?" I ask.
"Yes, but-"
"Did your father ask you to keep it a secret?"
"No, but I don't think that it's really appropriate to-"
"Just tell us already," Gabrielle groans. "I wanna know what DAddy said too."

Charlotte leans back in her seat and lets out a sigh of defeat.

"Since you two absolutely -insisted-," Charlotte mumbles. "It's about the book."
"It wasn't stolen, was it?" I ask.
"No," she shakes her head. "It's in a safe location for now, and Mr. Gauthier had some tests done on it. What kind of paper it's printed on, how old it is, that kind of thing."
"......it's not like, printed on human skin or anything like that, was it?" I ask.

It felt like paper when I had it...

"It's nothing quite -that- morbid," Charlotte says. "It was printed on paper that was made within the last year."
"Oh," I nod. "That's good."
"Yes, but there's still the issue of what it was printed -with-..."
"Huh?"
"The ink," Charlotte says. "It wasn't actually -ink-."

I take off my glasses and place a hand to my temples.

"Then what was it?" I ask. "Don't tell me that it was-"
"Blood," Charlotte says. "Human blood."

"Of course he wouldn't," Charlotte sighs. "And now I wish that -I- hadn't."

I think I'm going to be sick.

"D... do you know whose blood it was?" I asked. "Like a Branch user? What was the one that gives people powers... 'Gardener,' was it? There's not someone going around capturing Gardeners and..."

"The only thing that they do know about the source of the blood at the moment is that it came from a male." Gabrielle says.
"That's really gross," Gabrielle mumbles. "What kind of psycho would make a book out of blood, anyways?"

After giving a disapproving shake of her head, Gabrielle picks her menu back up.

"Shary thinks it's gross too," she says.

She's right, it really is gross. And horrifying.

Mostly the latter.

"Cecile, are you going to be alright?" Charlotte asks, taking my hand. "I should've known better than to-"
"No, it's my fault for asking," I reply, shaking my head. "I'll be fine, let's just focus on pizza for now, okay?"
"Sure," she nods.

Over on the other side of the table, it looks like Gabrielle's already gotten over the shock of what we just learned. She's looking intently at her menu while glancing at Shary every few seconds.

"What are you going to get, Gabrielle?" Charlotte asks.
"Dunno," Gabrielle mumbles, her have almost entirely obscured by her menu. "I want some breadsticks... and cinnamon sticks..."
"What about actual pizza?" Charlotte asks.
"dunno yet," she shrugs. "They have a lot of different stuff here but Shary doesn't want any of the stuff that I want."
"...Shary's going to be eating too?" I ask, squinting at the stuffed "cat" that's sitting on the seat next to Gabrielle (naturally, me and Charlotte are sharing a side of the booth).
"Uh-uh," she shakes her head, "but he can taste everything that I eat."
"Oh."

I guess that makes sense. The plushie might be its "body" but he's still Gabrielle's alternate personality thing. Or something.

That is pretty tame actually, I've seen bullet ridden corpses before getting out of grade school and I live in a part of America that has a low crime rate (and most of that crime is drug use).

>>39318347
Forgot to add this. We do not know they drew a lethal amount of blood.

>>39318347
Gabrielle doesn't actually care all that much, she just thinks that it's messed up.

Cecile's sheltered so it hit her a lot harder. Not to mention that she actually had that PRINTED WITH HUMAN BLOOD book in her possession for a time.

>>39318347
There's a bit of a difference between just killing someone and using their blood to write stuff or whatever.

While there are ways you could do that and keep them alive, it's still not pleasant to think about. Ceclie's pretty much jumped to the idea of them killing or torturing people for the stuff.

"What about you, Cecile?" Charlotte turns back to me. "HAve you decided what you'll be getting?"
"Half-cheese, half-pepperoni, I guess," I say, shrugging. "Garlic crust."
"Mind sharing with me?" she asks.
"Uh, it's not like I was planning on eating the whole thing my myself, you know," I reply. "And you're the one paying, so..."
"It's still polite to ask, you know!" she giggles while poking me on the tip of my nose.

And OF COURSE Andy picks that exact moment to come back to the table.

"Uh..." Andy just kind of stares at us.
"Oh hey, we just finished deciding what we'd get," I say to him.
"Ah-" he flinches. "Y- yeah, great!"

Laughing with that awkward smile on his face... I know exactly what he was thinking just now. I'm not about to tell him that his suspicions are 100% right, of course. Getting outed to Andy means getting outed to Marcus, and that'd put Mina in a precarious position since her family isn't anywhere nearly as accepting as mine is.

After I put in my order, Gabrielle rattles off the long list of stuff that she's getting- a large Cheese pizza, twelve cinnamon sticks, TWENTY-FOUR breadsticks... Andy's every bit as surprised as I am to hear her ordering all that.

Once our order's placed, Andy heads to the back to get our order started.

"...you're seriously going to eat all that?" I ask.
"Not all of it," she replies. "I'm gonna eat some now and Charlotte'll probably finish off half herself and then I'll take the rest with me to eat later."
"She does this all the time, don't put to much thought into it," Charlotte says, patting me on the head.

"I wish it didn't take so long for them to bake a pizza..." Gabrielle mumbles, burying the bottom of her face in Shary. It wouldn't surprise me if she was chewing on him. "I'm so hungry."
"Well maybe you ought to stop skipping meals in favor of playing videogames," Charlotte replies without even the slightest hint of sympathy in her voice. "She does this at home too, Cecile. It's so annoying."
"Eheh..." I shrug.

Mina does the exact same thing sometimes, so it's not like I'm a stranger to it. And on the odd occasion that I'm around while she's playing one of those online games, she'll actually have me go downstairs and fetch food FOR her so that she doesn't have to take her eyes off the screen.

"Is Shary hungry too?" I ask.
"Uh-huh." Gabrielle replies while making Shary nod.
"Heh. What kind of pizza does he like?"
"Cheese."

She doesn't seem very happy about that.

"When I eat pizza with anything on it, he always complains about how toppings mess with the original flavor or whatever," she mumbles.
"And here I was thinking that you two got along all the time," I reply.
"Food is the only thing that they have large disagreements about," Charlotte says. "When it gets really bad, Gabrielle wakes up with an upset stomach."

Night eating. I see.


>[2/?]

I stand behind my opinion that picking Charlotte is the best decision we've made in this quest.

Not like that's saying much.

>>39319041
Charlotte is basically a shadowrunning Disney princess. Nobody can beat that.

Irene is Best Girl, but Theresa's route would have been the most fun to write.

They're all nice girls, though.

>>39319078

So if she fights with her alternate personality, she'll gain weight.

Being Gabrielle must be tough. I don't know how she handles it.

>>39319107
She's been dealing with it for literally as long as she can remember so it's not really hard for her. Just another aspect of everyday life.

>>39319097
If you wanted Irene to win Doritos should have stayed the fuck away. And she should have hung out more.

>>39319078

"But that's not going to happen this time," Gabrielle mumbles, "since I got something that he's fine with."
"Good job on that, I guess?" I say with a nervous laugh.

I suppose that's just something that comes with having a good relationship with her Branch personality. Not being able to eat everything that you want is a far cry from having to fight the evil murdervoice that I'm stuck with.

Irene's route is too pure and beautiful to exist in this world, so we'll have the settle for the adorable, jealous, sadistic, less endowed, shady, paleontology nerd.

Just as my stomach's starting to growl, Andy shows up with our food. Two pizzas, way too much breadsticks... it doesn't last long. By the end, the only thing that's left is half of Gabrielle's cheese pizza and two breadsticks.

I forgot how much Charlotte can eat when she wants to. Like, it's almost scary.

Once the bill's all paid for, Andy's kind enough to carry Gabrielle's box of leftovers outside for us and we call over a taxi.

"Yeah, but I don't spend enough time at home as it is," I reply. "I don't want Allizon to start thinking that I'm trying to move in with you."

That being said, I think you are currently at the best case scenario for FD after making that mistake. The rejoicefags are no where to be seen and there was only one stupid vote (over-chan at a pizza joint).

Things probably won't pick up until you get CC involved in some more cloak and dagger stuff, but you should keep in mind I was lurking even if I didn't bother to vote for things like eat food or chat.
