[ And the door swings open, a luminous Marie showing up. Although she knows this is the middle of Sanguis for poor Cloud, she hopes to distract him with her Pizza. ]
Fortunately, the cycle hasn’t been bad this time around. Granted, it helps he got his usual sparring fix at the start of the month. ]
Hey, Marie. [ He might have had more time to admire just how lavish her apartment was, but his heightened sense of smell picks up something that...well it doesn’t smell...bad?
It’s like burnt toast except put through an incinerator...about ten times. ]
If she noticed him sniffing around, she's not showing it, instead taking his hand and pulling him inside. His offer to have a taste of her food put her in a really good mood! Those haters in her post sure didn't understand how much effort and love she'd put into her pizza, even though it didn't turn out the way she liked. ]
It's over here!
[ She takes him to the kitchen, where the blackened round piece is sitting on a plate and already cut down into slices. ]
[ He wasn't lying about the shape of it. Marie did good at assembling it, it seems like. It honestly just came to how much time it was left in there. ...he hopes that's the only flaw, anyway. He spots the pizza and his bright blue eyes widen a little bit.
Oh god. It's even more pitch black in person. Did she put a filter on her post like how people did to liven up a shot?! ]
It looks... [ He's about to try and come up with something neutral to say when he takes a good look at the burnt circle of what used to be dough. Actually...? ]
What were your toppings?
[ It may have come out burnt and inedible not perfect, but it doesn't look like everything was just thrown on willy nilly. ]
[ Marie tilts her head in question when her Master trailed off from his initial sentence, but goes off enthusiastically when he asks about the toppings. ]
Tomato sauce, pepperoni, mozzarella, parsley, and some slices of pineapple!
[ Everything you'd normally put on a pizza, basically. ]
[ Cloud didn't eat pizza often. He's heard people raise a fuss over pineapple on pizza though. Slowly (mindful not to stop to give the idea he's reluctant), he grabs a slice. And it feels like he could give it to Yuffie and she'd use it like a throwing star. Sure is one crispy piece of dough. 👌👀 ]
Nice portion size, too. [ Don't burn through all the pros before getting to the cons, Cloud. Speaking of cons... ]
........ [ Gulp. He doesn't nibble it. But he doesn't take a big bite either. ]
....
[ CRUNCH! ]
..........
[ oohhhhh noooo pizza is not supposed to sound like that ]
Oh god. She's looking at him expectedly. His eyes widen, and he makes a flicker of a face like he's about to spit it out. But he stops. Makes a small "M-Mm...!" noise. And then. ]
[ Suddenly. A disturbance in the force. And by the force, meaning his stomach as it makes ungodly sounds of sheer protest joy at whatever the hell he just dropped into his gut. ]
Hrk—! [ Nope. NOPE. He fights it. He succeeds. He wins. And with a soft breath... ]
[ He lives! Barely? Maybe the pizza had too much flavor... of the burnt kind... but at least he doesn't look like someone who got poisoned.
With a sigh, Marie decides he can't stay like that, so in a matter of seconds he's now held up bridal style in the Queen's arms as she carries him to the bedroom. ]

Marie watches him, expectant, as he chews on the deadly black mass of what she still believes is genuine food. ]
So, how is it?

Cloud?
[ Hahaha... uhm... so, that happened.
Was the pizza so delicious Cloud just conked out, dead to the world? No, even Marie is not that naive to think that.
Her mind already registers that THIS IS NOT GOOD AT ALL and she tries to lift his head before checking for his pulse.
Please don't let this be her first kill in Prismatica...! ]

Worry not. You have fought well. Get some rest.
