...not so holy no.

[mitochondriaaya]

Who" The twins, a cult, and anyone.
When: A few days after midterms.
What: Religious studies get a touch out of hand.

Life at Kaos U was never boring, no, far from. Their pop quizzes were 'something blew up in X hall' more than anything else. Today was Robotics over in the Farley building. Tat had an extra bit of urgency because they knew someone over there.

Thankfully Pierce was alright, angry that the idiot in the class had caused an explosion, and burned but alive. He knew to come to them instead of any of the other med students, which was best. Everyone had their pet projects after all...

...and who knew how Dilan's modifications would handle some of those pet projects?

Still Pierce got his bandages and sucker just to be amusing. He didn't think anything else of it until he was sitting down at dinner, blinking, "where are the girls?" That was a valid question, right?

The explosion had been before lunch, they should have been home by now certainly? Unless they'd planned library time (slots for that could be just as cutthroat). "They're not on call tonight, right?" at the college clinic?

Dilan blinked and kept filling the girls' bowls from the pot, but Braig did the same as Pierce. If the twins were still eating when they ran out of stew, Dilan would start making more food.

[mitochondriaaya]

Yeeeah, given they weren't slowing in the least, they were probably in a critical calorie burn phase of some sort?

Pierce...whistled and...started sliding other things toward! LIKE COKE CANS!

[sliceitwithwind]

Dilan slapped Pierce's hand, sharply, and began shoving all the ready-to-eat food in the 'fridge at the girls. "Pierce! Stop that! They don't have goat's stomachs."

[mitochondriaaya]

"But would they even notice?" he asked, utterly unrepentant! "Why didn't Nevada warn us about this?"

[sliceitwithwind]

"I would notice." Dilan said, gravely.

"Nevada," Braig said, "probably thought the girls would have told us."

[mitochondriaaya]

"Fine no coke cans, and it's probably in that list of 'in ncase of emergency read care manual' thing in the front hall?" If this counted as an emergency?

[sliceitwithwind]

"No it isn't. I've read the whole manual." Dilan said, because of course he had. It was Something Very Important.

[mitochondriaaya]

"Is there like, emergency rations in there maybe? Like super nutrition blocks?" Maybe Pierce had lived around Braig too lonnnnng.

[sliceitwithwind]

"There are some labelled rations. I'll...call Nevada." suiting action to words he dialed the girls' guardian and hummed atonally until someone picked up.

[mitochondriaaya]

"Nevada, speak," he noted, the sound of helicopter blades heavy on the line.

[sliceitwithwind]

"The girls are eating everything digestible by humans, are the rations included in the manual there for this situation?" Dilan didn't bother to introduce himself. Between the depth of his voice and the subject matter he didn't think he needed to.

[mitochondriaaya]

"Yes, they didn't auto grab them?" He was not happy to hear that no. "We trade some of the nearby clans for their condensed rations." For this situation. Sure, the katzu clans didn't really use them except for right after growth spurts these days, but back in the wars those on the lines had needed better than an MRE could provide.

[sliceitwithwind]

"They were mostly asleep by the time we got back." Dilan said, "We put them on the couch and I started cooking." then, as an aside, "Braig, get the rations for the girls. If they eat all of them get into my clan-rats." Dilan kept them because this was KHAOS and sometimes they might need the boost if there was a siege.

[mitochondriaaya]

"Ah, okay, I'm still going to shake them," because training was training was training.

Pierce could help open packaging! And carefully count fingers afterward before the girls finally paused and slumped against each other asleep again! "Well, they don't need your rations, Dilan, but it was closssse," Piecre whitled.

[sliceitwithwind]

"That's between you and her." Dilan said, "I'll call you back if we need something else." and because that was that as far as he knew...he hung up. Braig grabbed a twin and headed for the stairs,

"Let's put them to bed, okay?"

[mitochondriaaya]

"Them." Not just one her no. Both of them. Still, he didn't mind the hanging up.

Pierce...eyed the other girl? "Should I or will you bite me for trying to figure out how to carry one?" Pierce asked Dilan seriously.

[sliceitwithwind]

Dilan didn't notice either his misspoken word or Nevada's correction. He blinked at Pierce and said, "No, I won't bite you. They need to be put to bed, and that's that."

[mitochondriaaya]

"Yeah you just get a little picky about the girls!" but hey, not getting bitten he was going to go awkwardly scoop up the other. He didn't have a lot of experience carrying people, Dilan tended to panic and carry Braig if he was hurt so...

...luckily the girls were bendy and wouldn't mind some imbalanced dangling as long as he didn't hit any walls or anything?
