Freak Boy looks up at the sihlouetted figure of Hoshi and growls.
"You people already took my donut - what more do you want?!!" he demands before Hoshi comes into focus. He gasps. "Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't recognize you... didn't we meet on the ranch? Yes, I'm Riku's friend."
Freak Boy puts up his harmonica and stands up, sneezing. Oh d**n it all... now he was catching a cold.

I leave the ministry briefly and collect a number of German foods, sauerkraut, rye bread and German-style sausage. I also pick up two bottles of real German beer, not the watered down kind that is usually exported. It costs me most of my food credits for the week, but I need to get some real food...
As I walk back I realize that though I can't leave REd Infinity without betraying my children, I can't stay without betraying myself. Despair is dead to me, and I know some night I will steal away to see Mischa...
When I get back to the Ministry I begin work on preparing the traditional German foods for myself and Dr. Von Kraus.

Frank stands up, swaying drunkenly, then following Karina outside. Despite his being drunk, his footsteps were unintentionally silent. Some things never change.
"Ok..." he said, getting on the horse.

When the food is finished I put it on plates and carry them and the two beer bottles out to the Minister. "I made us some food Herr Von Kraus... Oh Despair, nice to see you..." I say as I see the android standing there.

Herman's pedastal rotated so that his head was facing Erika. "Ah! Good. It's been so long since I've had... well, any food at all. Thank you, Erika!
"Oh - you two know each other?"

"Yes... He is... a good friend of mine." I wish that he'd been my lover but he never seemed that interested... "Anyways I thought you'd enjoy a taste of the Fatherland."

"You are too kind, Erika. Too kind - especially considering I am partly responsible for... well, alot of the suffering you have gone through. I can only hope you accept my sincerest apologies, and know that I never supported Hitler's decisions on Ein and Zwei..." Herman said in a sad tone.

If there was any advantage to being in a head in a jar, it was this; no one could tell if you're crying. This girl was too forgiving of him...
"Dummkoff hardly sums it up. Zhe man vas a megalomaniacal, schieza koff."

"Scheisskoph..." I agree, and set down his meal before the opening and open the beer bottle. I open my own, take a sip and taste my food.

Herman eats in much the same way he drinks. The food goes into the pedastal and is then cut up by lazers that are just delicate enough to leave the plate unscathed, albeit very warm. The small square slices are then sent up a seperate tube which Herman controls with his telekenisis. He takes a bite and closes his eyes, relishing the taste.
"You are quite zhe cook, Erika. Very vonderful food - reminds me of my mozher's cooking." he says nostalgiacly.

"Danke." I say politely. "I will be putting in a request to have a wood-fired cook stove installed, I don't care for the electric ones."
