Captain's Kidds

Hi! I'm sorry I didn't get to this earlier! I thought I had and... I'm old. My brain, she is like spiteful lover.

Since he's sort of keeping the whole ballet thing quiet (at least for now), I don't know how viable that part is. I don't know her living situation, but Ferris would not be averse to having some of the older kids volunteer in the kitchen after classes?

Hello!

There are already vegetarian options enough at every meal that if you are not a meat eater you will hopefully be satisfied (pancakes/waffles, cereals, yogurts, tofu in various states, fruit, fresh/steamed veggies and a salad bar, beans and rice, grain dishes, etc), and at least one vegan offering as well. While the variety might not be the greatest, a vegan at Hammel might get a little bored but would not go hungry. Ferris also runs a nut-free kitchen and has alternatives at every meal for dairy and gluten allergies.

Veganism is incredibly hard to cater to in an institutional setting like Hammel, especially when there are a variety of other dietary restrictions that take precedence (nuts, dairy, gluten, religious/holiday restrictions), but Ferris does try.

Any chance Ferris might be interested in being friends with the shy, but oh-so-nice Malika? They could have a few casual conversations over lunch, during which she stays at the cafeteria. I have yet to think of a decent plot but I just think they could work even as casual friends. They're both currently asexual (well, Malika is) so they could both be like, ....sex? What is that even? and be like co-presidents of a Hammel Celibacy Club for Hammel Employees over 25 or something. LOL (I'm just kidding... or am I??)

LOL oh and yes, Malika: hammelinstitute.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=acceptedstaff&thread=19041&page=1#92892

That's totally fine. It really is one of Mali's weak points. You could also criticize her freely for that... not that she'd answer back anyway. Plus, Mali could try to get to his core because that's just the kind of person she is, + empath (and she can't read him), but he could totally brush her off.

Dunno protocol for this sorta thing but here goes! Clement and Lyra seem to be similar in a few ways. I don't know if they'd be friends/enemies/frienemies or what, but something interesting might spark. I'd like for them to meet at some point if you don't mind.

@kary - Yes, they should meet eventually! I doubt her vocal aggression would go over well with Clement, but it could be his own honesty might be refreshing to her. I am a little swamped with threads right now (with a few on deck) and am playing out some of Clement's backstory, but once I've got some of both cleared away I will definitely be up for Lyra!

@pheli - Yes to Renee/Ferris and Junpei/Clement! Ferris needs to meet more women. I started him out with males on purpose so he'd develop some guy friends and it's just devolved into a sausagefest. What is my life even. And it'll certainly be interesting to have two kids who don't speak English as well as they speak another language try to communicate with each other! But, like I said to Kary, I am a little thread heavy at the moment with another to come, so until I've tied some of these bad boys up I will have to hold off for a bit. Don't worry, the wait won't be too long!
