Jedidiah:
The house seemed to grow more and more lively. . . he feels like. Granted, work is always there. . . But hes happy he is able to help his friends out. . . Ash seems to be doing alright? He hopes at least. . . He cant deny the sadness Ash seems to be ensnared in. . . .Hopefully Ash will come with them today? It is a big day for Hau who moved in perhaps a few months prior. . .
It might do the lad good, getting out of the house and into the sun. . . maybe they can go for some ice cream or discover a new restaurant together. He was off today. Maybe they could go do things after Hau was done running the errands he needed. . .
Though it still muses him he was able to hide and sneak enough small bills to where it was just enough for Hau to pay off the debt he owed the motel. . . plenty of 5s and 1s. . . plenty of dimes, quarters and pennies. . . . some 10s, the occasional 20. . . . .then the 50 dollars he snuck in his luggage and made it seem like it was from his mom from home he thinks almost blew his cover. . .
Almost. . .
He should be a ninja he thinks! . . .no. . .no, that would end poorly for him. . . hes happy with being a doctor. . .
He can be a ninja doctor in his own head.

Chaos zoomed across the front yard, chasing what resembled a mouse while giggling. Once cornered, she picked it up from the scruff, preventing it from biting and lifted it to eye level. She stared hard at it for a moment and then released it, only to go chase it again.
About ten minutes later she bored of the repeat game, going inside to get a drink of water. Jedidiah's house had become her temporary home since arriving in Wathias. After the hunters had chased her down and she was rescued, people arrived at Jedidiah's request and "Registered" her. Pretty much they just asked a few questions and gave her a "charm" that allowed her to talk to anyone. Since then, she had been talking off his ear enough that he would task her with "checking out the yard".....Well, it basically was to have her go play around outside.
"Jedz!" She called, slumping across a couch, "I'z bor ed.....Are anyone else here?"

Hau bounced down the stairs, light on his feet as he headed towards the kitchen, humming as he went. The sun was up but the house was quiet. He wasn’t sure if anyone else was awake yet, but he wasn’t paying much attention either. In the kitchen he made a beeline for the rent jar, dropping a few bills in. It was less than he’d hoped but the rest needed to go with the wad folded away in his pocket. All together it made up the last little bit of what he owed the motel. It was like the dawn of a new day. He’d finally have the weight of that debt off his back and could reclaim the things he’d left behind there. And he was finishing up registration for school today too. There was probably another form or two to fill out at the registrar’s office, but he couldn’t be sure until he checked his email.
But first, breakfast. The most important meal of the day behind lunch and dinner and midnight snacks. The kitsune had woken up ravenous. Not an uncommon occurrence, but today it was especially unfortunate. As he rifled through his little portion of the pantry he discovered that there wasn't any cereal left. Or any breakfast bars, or anything quick and easy. His stomach didn’t have the patience to wait for anything that required cooking. Without giving the paw motif on it much thought, Hau reached into a jar nearby and grabbed some of the cookies out of it. He stuffed one in his mouth, chewing hungrily as he dug out his phone and fired off a text to the motel owner saying he’d be by later. This certainly wasn’t the healthiest breakfast selection but it was fast and he’d be able to get out the door that much sooner.
An unfamiliar voice from the living room caught his ear and he glanced up. Jed had mentioned that there was a new roommate, but with Hau’s hectic schedule lately he’d missed actually seeing her in person yet. Looking out into the main room, he spotted… something draped over the couch. “Hello?” He greeted, taking another smaller bite of cookie.

Jedidiah:
He chuckled. . Chaos was bored and Hau was rifling through the cabinets for food. "If you two are hungry, I can cook some breakfast if you would like? " he offered. Perhaps the smell of bacon will get Ash out of the room at least? well. . . he hopes. . . He could only hope that hes alright. Perhaps he can grab Ash something sweet while they are out if he did not want to come out. . . " Its alright, chaos,. . would you like for me to show you how to cook?" he asked. "Might help with the boredom. " he offered.
He glanced over at Hau as he heard the dog treat cookie jar was being rifled through? . . . maybe Blue was begging for cookies from one of the two. He walked into the main room towards the kitchen to cook something for the household before seeing Hau eating a dog treat. . . ?
"aaah. . . Hau? . . . you realize thats the dog cookies for bluebell, right? " he asked. He was trying to fight back a chuckle seeing this, perhaps he needs to hurry up and make something so Hau doesn't starve, the poor lad.

"FOOD!" Chaos said aloud in a sing-songy voice. "Jedz learns Chaos food? Is dog cewkees food?" Even with the charm for translating, her english was quite broken. She followed Jedidiah into the main room to see a blue haired male munching on something.
She floated over to behind him, sniffing. "Are you cewkees? Chaos eats cewkees!" She says with a grin.

Hau froze mid-chew, swallowed awkwardly. “Oh.” Oh! He hadn’t even realized, he was so used to eating them as Bluebell. “Um, I was just… taste… testing… them?” The kitsune cleared his throat, looking at the last cookie and a half in his hand. “You know, to make sure they’re alright. They’re, ah, a little dry.” He dropped the whole one back into its jar. Then when Jed turned his back again, quickly scarfed the last half. No sense leaving it unfinished.
“Breakfast sounds good though. I can help too.” Hau startled at the scream of “FOOD!” and spun a half circle to keep their new roommate - Chaos? - in sight, a little disconcerted to see her floating. The way she spoke suggested that she was new to this world in some way, Jed hadn’t filled him in on many details if even he knew them. “They’re more like dog biscuits,” he explained, “they’re not that good.” They weren’t as sweet as the real thing and he didn’t want to mislead her if she’d never had proper cookies before. But was he hearing her right? “And I’m not cookies. My name’s Hau. You’re, uh, Chaos?” It was a fitting name.

"You are not kewkees? Chaos does not eat?" A confused but more disappointed look, crossed Chaos' face. She landed and circled Hau once before going to the kitchen and plopping on a chair, the end of her tail patting the ground as she waited for Jedidiah to "teach her how to cook".
"Chaos loves sweet food. Sweet is...uhm.." Her ears drooped as she tried to find the right word, "...desirable? Yes! Desirable! Sweet food makes Chaos tummy happy. Jedidiah makes sweet food?"

Jedidiah:
"aah. . lets make food food, but there are some sweet food we can make for breakfast." he replied as he was pulling out the foods to make it. . . eggs. . . spam . . bacon, ham. . . even pancake four. " alright, so Chaos, have you made pancakes before? " he asked. . .
He placed the foods onto the counter with a parchment paper spread out before getting pots and pans. . .He then glanced over to see if she was paying attention? or if she was interested at least. "Hau, do you know how to cook bacon?" he asked, glancing towards the man of the day. . .
It was a big day for him, though if he doesn't want to, he wasn't going to force it.

Hau watched her deflate at the news that he was not indeed “kewkees”. “We can make cookies later, if you want?” He turned to Jed and shrugged helplessly, he didn’t want to disappoint her. But the giant had a better idea. “Pancakes are great.” He agreed. “You’ll like those. And there’s plenty of syrup around to drown them in.”
The kitsune’s mouth turned up in a smile at Jed’s question. “Oh, I can do bacon.” He grinned, claiming a package of it from the pile of food amassed on the kitchen counter. Then he found a baking sheet and set that aside, turning back to the doctor to ask, “where do you keep the brown sugar?” The kitchen was still confusing for him, so many little tools or spices seemed to be hiding everywhere. And much of it he never figured out the location of until he actually needed it. It didn’t help that some shelves were out of his reach and he needed a step stool for. Chaos really had an edge with that levitation.
As he waited for an answer he poked at the oven’s buttons, refreshing his memory from the last time he’d used it. He hadn’t made brown sugar bacon in a while but the thought of it was making his mouth water.

Chaos looked at Jedidiah with a head tilt. "Pannan kakke? Soorip? If food is sweet, Chaos eats it." She grins widely. She padded her way over to him and watched as he pulled out ingredients. She noticed eggs as well as some other oink ingredient that smells slightly foul. He nose wrinkled at the scent.
She looks to Hau who was trying to reach for things on the top shelf. "Haow need help?" She asked.

Jedidiah:
"Yes, it is sweet, and we can add chocolate chips or blueberries in it as well. " he replied. He poured some of the pancake flour into the bowl. . .well, all of it. . . and poured some water before grabbing a wisk. . When Hau asked to know were the brown sugar was, he had to think about if for a second. "Oh, ahh. . .it is in the pantry closet, in a large mason jar. " he replied, before pointing at the closet at the corner of the kitchen. "Haven't found a sugar bowl thats not too tiny yet. " he admitted. . .the ones he also found also had alotta flowers. . .
Abit. . .too girly, he thinks, but he thinks he will be able to find a more neutral one at least. . . hopefully.
"Here, Chaos, can you stir this for me? until its all well mixed?" he asked, offering Chaos the bowl and whisk.

"Haow need help?"
“Maybe? If the sugar’s on a high shelf I might.” When Jed confirmed that particular ingredient was in the pantry he nodded, returning to the little room he had just ransacked for cereal not long before. He wasn’t sure how he’d missed seeing the sugar then, but the pantry, like the rest of the house, was huge. And the jar was bigger than he had expected too, even after Jed’s complaint about typical sugar bowl sizes, but Hau didn’t see a problem here. There was no reason to worry about running short.
He slid the jar onto the counter next to the preheating oven, then dragged a footstool over to make reaching it easier. The kitsune took his time laying out strips of bacon on the baking sheet and covering them in crumbles of brown sugar, watching Jed and Chaos out of the corner of his eye. Quickly, though, his curiosity got the better of him.
“Chaos? Can I ask… what are you? I’ve never seen a super like you before.”

"Here, Chaos, can you stir this for me? until its all well mixed?" Jedidiah asked Chaos, offering her a whisk. She had seen him use this instrument at least once before so she had a faint idea of how to use it. She took the whisk and, with a bit of effort to control her strength, began sloooowly mixing the flour and water mixture. She would occasionally lift the whisk and scrape off the goopy mixture that clung to the whisk and then continue, going a little faster as it softened. Once the mixture started becoming more liquid than a solid, her impatience got the better of her and she gave the whisk a few good flicks around the bowl, albeit a lil too roughly, and was swiftly flicked with batter onto her face.
“Chaos? Can I ask… what are you? I’ve never seen a super like you before.” She heard Hau asking her as she licked the goop off her nose. "hm...soopurr....You yooz this term for beings not like hyoomahns, correct? Ah, mmm...." She looked towards her feet and then to her tail, then back to the whisk in her hand. "I....." Her ears droop as she lowers the whisk into the bowl. "I don't know...."

Jedidiah:
he watched as he chopped the spam to get ready to fry. . . . Thinking of how much rice to make for breakfast. . . Watching in amusement as she stirred the pancake mix, then splattering herself on the face with it. . . then not as amused when she revealed she remembered nothing. .
Not even what she is. "Hmm. . . . well if I may. " he started as he finished cutting the spam and moved to wash his hands. "You do seem to have some Celtic history. . at least. " he noted. He did recognize some of the doodles that Chaos had made from time to time. "If not drawn to it. . . I believe you will be able to figure out who you are. . .what you are. . .regain your memories. " he stated. "The Celtic mythologies might be a good idea to look into it?" he offered.
He then looked into the mix before nodding. "That is good, now, this pan, we will want to pour a small scoop into it when it " he explained. . the pan already on the heat when she started to mix it. he grabbed a scoop spoon before scooping a small amount. "Now watch, this would be one pancake. " he stated. .
He poured the amount into the pan "Here, place the bowl here so you can have a free hand to flip it. We will want to watch for the batter to bubble. " he stated, before moving to grab a pancake spatula. . .a rather fat thing. . . easier to flip pancakes with it than regular pancakes.

Hau frowned as he watched Chaos' mood shift from one of joy to uncertainty. He hadn't meant to ruin the moment. As he listened to Jed talk he slid the pan of sugar covered bacon into the oven. This was always the hardest part, if he didn't keep a close eye on them, they would burn quickly. But he had a few moments to take his attention away from it before that happened.
The kitsune stepped over to the other two, licking the leftover sugar from his fingers and nodding. "We can help you find out, if you want." He offered, wanting to leave room for her to decline. Not all supers had rosy beginnings and if she preferred not to know, that was up to her. "But we can do some searching on the internet, maybe take a trip to the library. There's got to be something."
He smiled to see the spam heaped to one side, he hadn't had any of that since leaving the islands and he was eager for a taste of home. "Oh." Hau seemed to remember something, returning abruptly to the pantry to dig out the chocolate chips. He may have been throwing a few on his oatmeal and ice cream lately so he knew just where to find the bag. "You can put these in the pancake batter, or we can sprinkle them on top at the end." He said, putting it on the counter nearby. Then, because he had seen them while rummaging, he grabbed the bottles of syrup and honey and added them to the pile as well.
