Well, that secret's out now. Any request for food in a holosuite gets routed to the autokitchen in my lab, and if I have the recipe on file, you get food – eventually. It still has to be cooked, after all, unless it's something simple and shelf-stable like granola bars, dry-cured sausage, or tea.
And some of the people at Blossom know about the fabricators, too. That coat you saw Kasumi Tendo wearing back on page 5 of this thread? Straight out of my fabber. Again, unless it's something I keep in stock like a teapot or a bath towel, it's usually faster to go to a store and buy whatever you want. And don't ask me for jewellry – I have better things to do with my gold, silver, and platinum supplies than let people wear them.
Right now, I'm not keeping track of who gets what unless I have to, like with Kasumi's custom-fitted coat. But if people start abusing my autokitchen or my fabricator, then I'll start billing your residence managers for the replacement cost of the supplies!

Washuu-chan added a couple comments after the list of results. According to her, the vote for "who you'd want on your team next time" was "suspiciously skewed by a group of a few dozen votes that all came in within two minutes of each other". Which strikes me as quite odd, given that Shinji wasn't very good at snowball fighting.
Washuu-chan also notes that the votes for "Worst Sport" *also* all appeared as a block within the same two minutes, and that there was a "statistical anomaly" -- "to the extent that I can determine without breaking the votes' anonymity, the number and sources of the votes appear to be all but identical to those for Shinji for 'who you'd want on your team'."
No, that isn't suspicious at *all*. <rolls eyes>

I'm just reporting the vote tallies. If you have a problem with the write-in category, don't blame me. Besides, it was her choice to make Shinji miserable in the first place. Eleanor got these photos of Shinji before...
![[Image: 400px-Asuka_yelling_at_Shinji.jpg]](https://kanrikyara.miraheze.org/w/thumb_handler.php/0/07/Asuka_yelling_at_Shinji.jpg/400px-Asuka_yelling_at_Shinji.jpg)
...and after Asuka left:

I think the difference in Shinji is obvious (although the angle makes it hard to see on the first photo). Even so, I understand it took Yui a little while to shake him out of the state Asuka left him in. Regardless of how unhappy she was with him, Asuka had no right to take it out on him like that. And yes, I'm quite aware that I'm not exactly the nicest person -- and the first volume of "RWBY" certainly depicted some of my worst moments *far* too accurately, for those of you who really only know me from it -- but even I would not treat someone who was supposed to be my friend and teammate that way. (Just to forestall any comments to the contrary, I was not *knowingly* attacking Blake when we argued about the White Fang, and as the program did go to some effort to show, it was and is a *very* tender subject for me. I would like to think that had I known at the time that Blake was a faunus, I would have chosen my words... differently. In any case Blake and I have reconciled to a greater degree and in more detail than "RWBY" took the time to show.)

The “Cutest Combatant” winners were definitely adorable -- no arguments there!
But... I still think Sakura-chan deserved at least an *honorable mention*. Those yellow earmuffs! That smile! And the way she used her wand and the Clow Cards -- she made it all look so graceful, even while covered in snow. It was like watching a tiny blizzard turn into a ballet.
I know the voters had a hard job (so many cute faces out there!), but next time, maybe they could consider "most magical kind of cute", too.

Well, that secret's out now. Any request for food in a holosuite gets routed to the autokitchen in my lab, and if I have the recipe on file, you get food – eventually. It still has to be cooked, after all, unless it's something simple and shelf-stable like granola bars, dry-cured sausage, or tea.

What's so fun about not winning? What's the point in playing if you don't intend to win?

Sometimes people do things just to have fun. You don't *need* to win all the time.

The “Cutest Combatant” winners were definitely adorable -- no arguments there!
But... I still think Sakura-chan deserved at least an *honorable mention*. Those yellow earmuffs! That smile! And the way she used her wand and the Clow Cards -- she made it all look so graceful, even while covered in snow. It was like watching a tiny blizzard turn into a ballet.
I know the voters had a hard job (so many cute faces out there!), but next time, maybe they could consider "most magical kind of cute", too.

Through the lens, every smile becomes eternal.
