[The feed goes on accidentally as Souji jostles his comm device. The only part of him that's actually in the frame is his hand, idly fiddling with a bottle of glue. The main focus of the image is a project he's working on. Various model-building supplies litter the table around the partially constructed interior of a certain Der Waffle House.]I

[That voice was familiar despite Minato not being able to see exactly who it was broadcasting their project over the network.]

Souji, it's recording.

[eatsyourscience]

[....]

I should have expected that.

[He rights the device so he's actually in the frame.]

[jivitadana]

[There Souji is, all gray and handsome and... yeah, asking about the glue in a second, especially after Minato saw him eat that half-eaten cookie in the tea room on his first day.]

What are you working on?

[video]

[eatsyourscience]

I'm building a model of a Waffle House. I've never been to one though.

[video forever]

[Though she doesn't exactly show it, George is pleasantly surprised.]

You're working on it?

[...]

It looks good.

[eatsyourscience]

[Souji's response has the same tone: pleased, but not really showing it.]

I found some building plans in the library. I wasn't sure if they were accurate though.

[akapeanut]

It's really close. I don't know if that thing was "authentically German" or anything, but whatever this is is really similar.

[She wants to touch it, in that juvenile sort of way.]

I can't tell-- how far along is it?

[eatsyourscience]

I've only got the seating part done.

[He turns the camera to show it more closely.]

I still have to do the kitchen and then the outside.

[skyfetish]

....What is that supposed to be?

[ video ]

[eatsyourscience]

It's a Waffle House.

I've never actually been to one. I don't know how accurate it is.

[ video ]

[skyfetish]

A Waffle House?

[ video ]

[eatsyourscience]

It's an American restaurant.

[Yousuke doesn't bother Souji mid-task as he usually would, instead opting to keep his mouth shut had watch. He has no idea what he's building... But Souji was the king of odd jobs and he had long since stopped being incredulous about what he did in his spare time.]

[What he's saying, though, seems to have absolutely nothing in common with what he's doing. It's almost like he's responding to a person not in the room...]

[Oh.]

[But just as he makes the connection, Souji, of course, eats glue.]

Souji.

[eatsyourscience]

[Comm device, why you do dis to Souji? After the eating styrofoam incident, he really doesn't need Yousuke thinking he's got pica or something.

So he's going to pretend to be clueless here and maybe it will go away.]

Hey, Yousuke. [Hang on while he adjusts the device so it's actually pointed at him.]

[masukukunai]

Don't give me that. [Your impersonation of Winne the Pooh will not save you today Seta.] You totally just ate glue. I saw it.

[eatsyourscience]

[Then he will Winnie the Pooh EVEN HARDER AT YOU.] I just tasted it. It's not the same thing.

[genki80]

Haha, that looks cool! Is it a school project?

[eatsyourscience]

[He doesn't bother pointing out there's no school.]

It's for a girl here. I guess she misses home a lot.

[genki80]

Like her?

[eatsyourscience]

I don't know her that well. She seems nice.
