Survival 101
Who: The NEET siblings and YOU
When: July 24th
Where: The Safari Lodgewhere else Specifically, the second floor (maybe you'll spot them making an ice machine run), or if you're lucky you might catch them at the cafe briefly
What: Maybe you saw them during the initial welcome, maybe you didn't. In any case, you probably haven't seen them since, but it's not like you'd be worried about 'em or anything, right?
Day 1 of their grand vacation getaway. No sooner had Sora and Shiro been allowed to escape to find their lodgings had they done so. It had been way too much excitement for one day, and between being stuck in a plane for almost an entire day and then a helicopter, only to be released into foreign sunlight with dinosaur-shaped trees, they had been past exhausted, even with their already screwed up sleep schedule. So it was that they had completely passed out the rest of that day.
Day 2 for the siblings began around half past noon, and that was only because the light had started to stream in through the window at just the right angle to become annoying, resulting in two bleary-eyed Japanese kids finally rousing from their bed. ...and then panicking a few seconds later when they realized that they weren't at home. It took them a moment more before they recalled where they were and what they were doing here, a few minutes of lying on the bed again to lament the cruelty of their parents for sending them away, and then, because the sunlight had by then found another perfect angle to pierce through the shutters, they were finally prompted to get up to do something about it. The comforter from the bed had been converted into the ultimate blackout shade, the AC had been adjusted to a suitably comfortable temperature on the thermostat. Clearly it was time for them to do their most important set-up if they wanted to survive the three weeks of hell away from home.
That would be to unpack their video game console collection. They'd only managed to bring with them several systems, two being handhelds. The light had to be turned on for ease of hooking things up, and Sora had come prepared in case they needed to do any adjustments to the television connection and add something like a coaxial connector. So it was a bit of a pain, but it would be worth it. Leaving Shiro to heat them up some water in the coffee pot, they could enjoy the first two of their stock of cup ramen that they'd also packed away, and by the end of the day, they had the Playstation, Sega Saturn and Super Famicom hooked up and were well into Pop n' TwinBee.
Day 3 started off like day 2, only that they woke up around two. The rest of the day had been spent indulging in games, although out of curiosity they decided to flip through the park channels to see what all would show up on the dino-enclosure channels, later on.
And then Day 4....
Again, the siblings were not early risers. When they finally did wake up, it was about three or four in the afternoon, and it was about that time that they decided to see what kind of food they might find at the cafe, since the both of them decided that they were a little hungrier for something more solid than ramen. They'd definitely be keeping an eye out for vending machines on the way. If they weren't hindered by any unexpected run-ins, they'd scamper back to their little floor two hideaway in room 201, where it would probably be a repeat of the day prior unless someone or something else happened to break their routine.

That was something she had noticed as well. While there was a mix, the Asian population made a good chunk of the welcomed tourists for three weeks of
torture...fun.She looked at the desserts as they were suggested, eyeing everything in her silence. That slice of cake looked good. Ice cream was always a treat. And what was that one over there?
Big eyes slowly looked back up at her brother and their "friend," expressing a large amount of indecision.

Izaya took note of their preferences and filed them away in his head space. Facts like these weren't all that interesting or even necessary but their personalities were beginning to fill themselves out at the very least. It would be fun to see them out of their comfort zone, maybe a couple days without electricity and possibly a plumbing problem to get them out of their room. His brain began concocting a few ideas that he really had no intention on following through with but they were amusing to think about.
“I believe that’s peach cobbler. Then there’s tiramisu, raspberry tart and of course fudge brownie sundae.”

Noticing his sister's indecision, he chewed thoughtfully on the tail of his first nugget as he looked at the dessert spread. Izaya's explanations certainly helped out at least, because as far as things went, a lot of the desserts he'd named didn't look anything like what they'd see in pictures from Japanese bakeries.
"It's probably a lot sweeter than what we're used to, too," he reminded his sister. He pointed at the tiramisu, figuring that had to be the most mild of the ones Izaya had pointed out.

"Hou."
Shiro thanked both wordlessly, bobbing her head a couple of times. She reached over for the tiramisu, drawing the platter over to where she could eat it without any problems. Still, she paused. "...You two. Eat something." she urged softly. "We might waste the desserts." Because that was an important matter here on the island they couldn't get off of.

"...schedule's been off kilter since we got here. I don't think we've adjusted yet," he said, although truthfully their schedule had been pretty screwy even before they left Japan.

To Izaya, she nodded to echo her brother's reply. "Perhaps Shiro is also an old soul..."
And she popped that piece of tiramisu into her mouth, unblinking.
