Bernkastel's first action upon waking was to down the pills and water on her bedside, though it felt like not moving for so long left her with terrible bodyaches. Next thing she knew, she rushed herself into the bathroom. Which went terribly awful as expected.

"Uugh, what happened..." she groaned from her porcelain prison. "I totally blacked out... I'm not touching the stuff again for a solid century, my mouth tastes like rancid raisins." As soon as it let up, Bernkastel took a cold shower while simultaneously brushing her teeth out to fully wake herself up and feel at least somewhat put together. "At least I'm fully back in my own skin. Ready for whatever form of humiliation awaits me, like the neverending cosmic joke it's all become."

Clean and in a fresh outfit, Bernkastel joined the mostly quiet kitchen occupants. Realizing that at least one of them had witnessed whatever she may have done in her alcoholic blackout, she turned her gaze to the ground as she felt her face heat up in embarrassment.

"Good... morning," she said while holding her breath from whatever butt-fumes Gogeta just sent out. Noting Gogeta's battered appearance, she caught sight of the city view through a window. One of the last things she remembered before the blackout was him rushing off to the bathroom after failing to chug the wine. Reminding herself to place a seal onto her wine cabinet later, she rubbed her temple in dismay of an answer she didn't want to have confirmed within hours of waking. "Don't tell me..."
 
"It appears things have gotten quite out of hand..." Brachi said as she got her part of the breakfast, "I overheard something about a drunken Gogeta fighting Broly, while you also went to make Spina drunk with that wine, Bernie."

Bara was looking concerned, offering some aspirin to Bernkastel along with a glass of water to at least help with the headache she may have gotten from the hangover she would be experiencing. 

Brachi prayed herself lucky that she did not partake in drinking wine, lest she would have done something similar. She did mentally wondered if Bernkastel remembered anything about yesterday, including her ranting, while Bara herself looked like an innocent teen being caught up in a mess caused by adults.
 
Cuki was silently making breakfast for the Breakers but it was not the usual enticing aroma they have grown used to. It smelled of slightly burned bacon and toast. The eggs were stuck to the frying pan and she did not make any sausages to accompany the breakfast. The coffee was cold by this point and she had water in the microwave for her tea. 

Just be... posi...tive...

Cuki placed the breakfast on the plates and haphazardly dropped the food in front of Bernkastel and Gogeta. She did not seem to care whether he got leftovers or not, she barely seemed to pay attention. The presentation was not Cuki's best and it was even shocking to see her cook such a low quality meal. The food on the plate was plain and boring and tasted about the same. Cuki finally placed a cold cup of coffee for Bernkastel and half a cup of juice for Gogeta before placing the bowl of microwaved water on the table. She did not utter a single word as she finally sat down on the table to pour herself a lukewarm cup of herbal tea.

Cuki had heavy bags under her eyes with dark circles, indicating she lacked sleep. Her hair was messed up, her face sagged, her clothes had stains, her youthful glow gone, and her overall appearance a disaster. Cuki silently sipped her tea with a shaky hand while she stared blankly at the wall, unblinking. She did not tend to her wounds from the fight or even shower off the debris. Even when she spoke, her voice was low and somewhat dead and uncaring.

"Please don't fart... in the kitchen... Gogeta..." Cuki slurred her words slightly. "I'll make sure... to clean your rooms... soon."
 
Cross says as a key appears in Brachi's hand "I trust the key you know how to use that item that appeared in your hand." Cross thinks "that location is remote and quite far way."
 
Brachi blinked as she received the key, before proceeding to tuck it away in the inside pocket of her blue shirt.

"Thanks, Cross." She said, nodding while being curious what the key was for, while Bara was worried about Cuki's current state, showing her puppy dog eyes while offering her candy, only for Brachi to stop her and pat her head, directing her to the table to sit down a bit.

"Poor Cuki is a bit too upset right now, leave her be for the moment, but I appreciate you wanting to cheer her up." She softly said to the whimpering Majin, who nodded in understanding and went to sit at the table.

Brachi on her turn went to make a bit more of her breakfast, using the cooking skills she inherited from Chi-Chi to work up her meal properly.
 
The door to Cuki's apartment opened revealing the missing saiyan. She was quiet, as if not to disturb anyone. Or at least keep them away from her. It was very clear by her expression that she did not want to be messed with, but she did come into the kitchen quite normally, as if acting like the little incident with Lucifer never happened.

"Good morning."
 
Cross says "to remind you it worked like the key that I gave Whis it works in the same way as that key did."
 
"Hey, Panich, good to see you again." Brachi said, acknowledging the presence of her fellow Saiyan, before she nodded at what Cross said.
 
[Yo! I edited my post last night to include more information, along with an important note. Take a read if you haven’t—to emphasized, keep the information regarding Panich’s connection with Hart as unknown, at that time, no one knows about it]

Spina narrowed his eyes when Cross said something regarding Panich. He noticed that she, as Lucifer said, wasn’t present. Before he could make a proper response, his ears picked up on the notation that Bernkastel, according to Brachi, shoved wine down his throat. “…I don’t remember that at all, I distinctly remember rushing out the apartment to stop that clown, and then everything went black. Who stopped Gogeta!?”

“That’ll be Cuki.” Lucifer said. “Poor girl, they haven’t slept in days.”

Spina placed his hand over his head and pinched his nose from the foul smell. “What the hell…” He went back to the television, seeing the anchorman interviewing various people about the recent damage. One of them being oddly familiar to him:

[Television starts]

“We heard that you are currently investigating this incident, and it seems to be the same person causing all the ruckus throughout the city. Are you planning on suggesting arrest or punishment anytime soon?”

“We have no leads at this moment. It is best to continue fixing the town for right now.” Detective Goku said. “We declared that the one who started it had already been dealt with. If we have any new leads, we discuss things later in our paperwork. We'll deal with the Breakers when the time comes.”

[Television ends]

Spina grinned his teeth back and forth, and rushes towards Gogeta’s happy demeanor. Without hesitation, he grabbed onto his jacket and lifted him off the ground. “You damn fool! I won't tolerate this! I'll end you right now...! Because of you, we got even more shit…!” A sudden sound of his bowels grunted loudly, causing him to drop the fusion and instantly rushed towards the bathroom, right before Panich entered the premise.

“Well, that was quite expected. The wine does cause that, especially those not exposed to the delicacy of wine flavors.” Lucifer turns to Panich, who hadn’t appeared in three days. “Ah! You finally returned! I see that you have calm down. Cuki made some disgusting breakfast today, please, come sit with us." Lucifer had a smile on his face.
 
"Likewise. Though... You all look like you've seen better days." Panich looked to Brachi with a smile nodding to her greeting. She continued her thought without even acknowledging Lucifer's presence.

"If any of you need me, I'll be in my room. Enjoy your... Meal..."

The princess grimaced slightly at the atrocious looking spread in front of the hungover few before exiting the kitchen to disappear once again to her new room.
