[It's been a busy day for Saki, even if Nora's just now waking up. By the time he does, there's the distinct smell of food from the kitchen. In fact, it's... dare I say it...
bacon.
Saki herself is a bit zoned out as she thinks, but not so much as to burn anything. It's possible the house is aiding her in this.]

[PLEASE HOLD WHILE NORA RUNS INTO THE KITCHEN AND ALSO ALL THREE PONYTAILS ARE ON FIRE AND HE'S FLAPPING HIS HANDS USELESSLY AT THEM AND ALSO HIS CLOTHES ARE SMOKING PLEASE AID]
OUTTA THE WAY!!
[Is the sink free can he just dunk his head under the faucet pls]

[Oh. Okay, that's happening.
She turns to see him, jumping when she sees the fire.]
What-
[Well, the good news is, the faucet is free! She even has the presence of mind to imagine a hand turning on the cold water with her cantus.]

[He's already reaching for the faucet when somewhat unexpectedly cold water splashes all over him and down his face and the back of his neck and Nora yelps and promptly hits his head on the faucet -- but at least the fire on his head is going out with a funny hissing sound and he makes a few coughing and splashing sounds when the water gets into his mouth.]
Ughh...
[Eventually he settles from his flailing and just kind of. Flops on the counter with the water still going because UGHHHH.]
This is the worst...

[Eventually he settles from his flailing and just kind of. Flops on the counter with the water still going because UGHHHH.]

[And she'll turn off the water for him, turning off the stove and setting the pan on a burner that hasn't been running.]
What did you do?!
What did you do?!
[He at least perks up a little bit now that he's got the attention span and the lack of flaming locks to really catch the smell of bacon, but stays kind of flopped on the counter with his head hanging in the sink. He does turn it to pout at her, though.
There's traces of soot and bruises on his face, also.]
I was just tryin' to get those stupid penguin things to tell me what Dazai's up to! His weaknesses and stuff! He's got to have some if he's working for the Foundation and with that face of his and everything so--
[This rationale made less and less sense as it went on....]
How was I supposed to know they explode?!

THEY EXPLODE!!
[He throws out his hands as though imitating the boom-boom problem here. 'Cause like, that sure was a boom bird he had to deal with just now. Also:]
And I tried opening one and they're empty and it's totally creepy, and you can stick like, apples into them! There's nothing there! It's like we're surrounded by GHOST PENGUINS.

[??

?!?!?!?!]
Did you stick an apple into one?!
[That's. That's the only thing she can manage to grab onto right now.]

Why did you-
[Stopping herself. Calm down, Saki. Focus here.]
He... He did say they were from hell...
[Stopping herself. Calm down, Saki. Focus here.]
He... He did say they were from hell...
[He was already bristling up to justify himself when yelling because that's his reflex response to getting questioned in that tone so it's probably good that she redirects them. Nora blinks at her a couple ties, and with his hair plastered down and soot still over his person he seriously looks like a sheepdog that got stuck in a chimney or something.]
Pretty sure there's nothin' like exploding penguins in hell?? Or the demon world. Whatever.
Though if we did I'm pretty sure Her Hagliness would have 'em as pets...
[That's muttered grouchily to himself.]

It could be a different hell. We're already all from different worlds - I know by now, my earth was nothing like this.
[Otherwise she's pretty sure the apocalypse would have kicked off already.]
Do you know what caused it to explode?
[Otherwise she's pretty sure the apocalypse would have kicked off already.]

Well. Obviously, there's different worlds and everything, just -- it's weird that they're not connected. At all. It's freakin' weird.
[That trails off into a mutter too, Nora kind of getting distracted by the existential dread(?) of the multiverse, or maybe it's less existential dread and more existential confusion because to be fair. There are probably way weirder things than exploding penguins where he comes from. Also:]
... Uh. I might have. Smacked it over the head a few times...??
[He has the grace to sound slightly sheepish about it but look.]

Nora.
[What did she say on their first day of this game?]
Nora.
[What did she say on their first day of this game?]
What?! I was tryin' to interrogate it 'cause we still know nothing about that weirdo Host! What else was I supposed to do?!
[Probably just about anything that isn't bullying penguins. Granted, bullying everything is kind of his default mode, so, no idea what Saki expected here.]

You don't have to hit them!
[UGH, DOGGO, PLEASE.]
Just ask them normally!
[UGH, DOGGO, PLEASE.]
Just ask them normally!
I asked them normally!!
[Did he, though. Did he really.]
All they did was yell dood real loud and over and over and try to run away so I got pissed 'cause they were obviously hiding things!
[Or they were alarmed by the rabid dog coming at them. Truly a predator-prey relationship of some kind.]

...When you first asked them, were you speaking with an indoor voice, or yelling?
[Yes.
Indoor voice.]
[Yes.
Indoor voice.]
...You probably terrified them. You can't be any quieter?
They won't talk to you if they're too scared to say anything. If you just asked them nicely, they might be more willing to explain.
