Before the sun can rise, Team Rocutia finds themselves in a clearing, barren, surrounded by a thick forest. Lady is floating gently on her cloud, still sleepy, and the dire tiger is at her side.
"Good morning," the goddess yawned, stretching her arms as far as she could and arching her back. "I hope everyone's hungry. You're here to make breakfast."
The thought was absurd, and Lanz was the first one to protest.
"Uhm, Lady... don't you think that's... uh..."
"See?" Rocutia said, "even YOU are too tired to think straight. Here are the rules:
Three course breakfast, portions for all team members.
A beverage for all team members. That isn't poisinous.
Go wild."

Jerez left his mouth agape for a second, then shut it in contemplation. 'This is certainly... unique...' He thought, itching his tangled hair.
"Well," he grinned sarcastically, "I do have to pee... maybe that could cover the beverage part."

Lanz slapped his forehead and turned away from the other man.
"Urine is supposed to be sterile, but why don't we look for something more appetizing before we get that desperate?" he asked. Lady really was pulling out all the stops. At least, he figured that was the case. "Is anyone up for starting a fire? Or should I do it?"

"What the hell?!" Kat was already awake after waking in a cold sweat after standard nightmares of Wraith hours ago but she hand't had coffee yet and that was not helping her mood. "I don't even eat breakfast. Or lunch most days. How the hell am I supposed to know how to make it?" She dragged one hand through her hair but stopped when her fingers caught in the tight, tangled curls and let out a sigh of frustration, she needed hairspray, lots of hairspray.
It is your task, you will find a way I'm sure. Ai commented, wondering how Kat was going to function without her daily pot and a half of coffee.
Hearing Lanz's question Kat responded, glad for something she could do. "I can deal with the fire." She pulled a lighter out of her pocket and flipped the top off, showing him the small flame. With that she turned away and headed off to find wood to burn.

"Alright then..." Lanz replied, stretching and summoning his staff, "looks like I get to go hunting. What about you, Jerez? What do you plan to do? You and Kat can set something up to cook what I bring back, or I suppose you could go hunt for... um, fruit..."

Kat returned not long after leaving, just in time to see Lanz heading off with his staff in hand. Dropping the wood she was carrying on the ground she tossed one of the same fruit she had found last night in Jerez's general direction, "You could find more of these. And, umm..." She searched her mind for something else they could eat, "Oh! I have power bars. Never go anywhere without power bars, at least not when you know McKay."
She pulled off the heavy gray uniform jacket she was wearing and started searching the pockets. After a few moments there was a small pile of power bars on the ground at her feet. Smiling slightly she began work on the fire.

"Fruit?" Jerez considered Lanz's question.
"Yeah, I'll go forage... And I'll look for some herbs to make some tea." Jerez examined the area for a basket or something to hold the berries he'd find, but realized there was nothing. Then he got an idea, so he took off his shirt as he turned to go look for ...fruit.

At the mention of tea Kat pulled a face and spoke loudly to apparently no one, "Hey! Lady, you wouldn't happen to have a coffee machine laying around would you? Preferably a French Press?"

"I'll find some kind of fruit that we can juice for you." Jerez said as he walked off, not knowing what the crazy girl's problem with tea was, but instantly liking her a little bit less because of it.

"What do you guys want me to do?" Jake grumbled, the lump on his head pounding. He was not used to making his own breakfast, or taking orders, but hey! It couldn't be to bad, right? "My mother made me learn how to cook... so I could do that..."

"Oh wow, look at this!" Lanz said from a distance, "IT'S A COFFEE PLANT " (xD Because you're picky, Kat) "And Jake, why don't you help me skin whatever I catch? I think I'm onto something... I hear something a little deeper in the forest."

"Alright " Jake muttered. Skin? As in, take the skin off? Disgusting. What kind of savage did they take him for? Whatever. He'd rather not be hit with another rock. The last one hurt. "Hey Lanz? You get along with Kora... How do you deal with her without getting... hit with rocks?"

Ahh. Lanz was being asked a vital question. It was something he had to learn, so it was his duty to teach those who... weren't quite catching well.
"Here's the thing - females whine. And it's their job to do so, not the male's. And if a female is not whining, it does not mean that it suddenly becomes a male's place to do so. No. Under no circumstances is it okay for a male to whine. And, it is only rarely okay for a male to brag. Kora is the living example of this rule. She doesn't like males who wine, like you. A man has to be impressive not by means of wealth, but by means of carrying his weight around.
"Does that make sense?" he asked.

Jake nodded slowly. "Yes... I think it does. So Kora is supposed to whine... but I am not?"That made sense. Sort of. Most girls he knew were kind of whiny, Silkia included. But since when was he? For some reason, he couldn't really see himself as the whiny type.

"Good. I hope that solves things. And don't forget about the part where a man has to be impressive by carrying his weight around. That doesn't mean the weight of your wallet, either," Lanz further explained.
He trekked further into the woods, hearing another rustle. "It sounds... like... a bear cub, maybe? Damn that's never good..."
