You don’t have much variety for the Sushi, but you make a ton based on a recipe you found on the internet. It is quite fun and easier than you originally believed! Xavi’s kitchen isn’t as well-equipped as you hoped, but it gets the job done. You never appreciated the number of tools in your kitchen’s arsenal. How odd.
Cooking is done, you start serving everyone a plate of… nothing. Because you have the big plates with all the rolls ready, and everyone is taking their bit for themselves. That’s how sushi works.
“Woah, this is great!” Xavi is the first to admit your average food isn’t that insipid.
“You got talent, friend!” Rooke acknowledges your skills.
“I couldn’t ask for a better meal for my last one... <span class="mu-i">I can die happily now</span>.” The hostage gets all melancholic.
“Oh, you guys, you’re going to make me blush.” You’ll never get tired of people loving your food! “Anyway, Rooke, since you have to be honest with me, I need you to answer some of my questions.”
“Go ahead, cowboy.” Rooke doesn’t give a damn about hiding anything anymore. “Shoot.”
“Okay, I have a list of questions.” You pull out your phone. “Let’s start with this…”
<span class="mu-s">You begin your lighting round of questions! First you start asking what his deal is.</span>
Rooke reveals that he’s directionless these days. He was a former Hosts of Rebellion member, but was injured during their downfall, so he isn’t clear on what happened to them. His former leader and friend <span class="mu-s">Rise</span> straight up disappeared. And his only associate left was *actually* found dead. The latter one left him with a contingency plan in case something happened to her, but he failed the mission, and decided that carrying on with it wasn’t worth it.
Since Rise <span class="mu-i">only</span> disappeared, he still holds onto the hope that she’s around somewhere. He calls her a nut too tough to be cracked easily. Jokes on him, all it took was a garbage dump.
<span class="mu-s">You ask why he wanted to know about Dorothy.</span>
Rooke explains that the last associate he mentioned was Dorothy Villiers. Rise, Dorothy, and Ka-Shing had a secret alliance for mutual benefit. All kept quiet from everyone in the terrorist group except the Flame Users within it. Rise sent her two best men to aid her allies’ effort. Rooke went to help Dorothy whenever she requested it. And Charlie Ironheart supported Ka-Shing. The side gigs turned into full recruitment when her favorite lapdog ‘Blake Wilkinson’ died. The former terrorist recalls Dorothy taking a liking to him for his resourcefulness, which lead her to trust Rooke with her contingency plan in case of her premature death: <span class="mu-s">Kill Lloydington no matter what</span>. He failed twice. But during these attempts, Lloydington revealed the same disdain for the scientist, and wanted her dead no matter what.
Rooke doesn’t know about Dorothy’s virus to kill white flames…
