Characters: Roxas, anyone who posted to his network post (but it's open to anyone else, too). Then, a private thread with Sayaka and Ven.
Setting: Floor one, the cafeteria; then, a private thread around the tower.
Format: Any and all~
Summary: Roxas finally decides to follow through with baking an anniversary cake, and then furtherly celebrates a little...dangerously.
Warnings: Rox being stupid and risky with his life- and also cake.

[Cake baking time!]

He'd sort of planned this out- as much as he planned out anything, anyway. Sitting down in the cafeteria, Roxas had arrived early and was anticipating not that big a turn out for his baking bonanza. Two people had offered to help, and he'd tried to set this up so they would both be around to help him and the others. Optimism aside, he wasn't sure how well this was going to work out. Mostly because of his plans for some of the cake later...

Oh well. He'd just have to do his best. After all, it was for cake, and plans or no, eh really did want something sweet.

[This is a sneaking mission-]

Rox had gotten together a crack two-person team to help him with Phase 2. To be honest, he felt bad for sort of lying to Nams about his intentions on the network before...but hey, he was being slightly less dangerous with this idea! Er...maybe!

Instead of smashing cake in the suggestion box, Rox was standing with his two cohorts just outside the security room, armed only with a sharpie.

"You guys ready for this?"

It was celebration time.

~~Maybe he can take this opportunity to learn better baking and make her an apology cake?~~

By the time Nams walked in, there was already a chaotic mess. By then, Rox had been able to grasp the barebones basics of how a cake was made, and was thus a slovenly mess of batter, flour and grease. He had a few of the more roundish pans filled with cake slurry, and was in the process of trying to shake another actually-cooked one out of the pan.

It seemed to be stuck.

Even with the evidence of his failures surrounding him, he still smiled and half-waved to Naminé as she entered. "Hi, Naminé~"

your not-brother is not very good at this "cleanliness" thing.

~~That might be a good start, but at the rate he seems to be going it might warrant another apology.~~

Naminé came to a full stop at the sight, slowly turning to look around at the carnage. He's certainly been... productive. Still, she smiled as her eyes focused on the mess that was him.

"Hello, Roxas...! I see you've gotten started already."

But even she could see that he was having some difficulty in the 'not destroying the kitchen' thing, and that miiiiight have been a giggle behind her hand just now.

~~Okay uh...apology cupcakes? RAINBOW apology cupcakes-~~

The giggle set off a chain reaction of laughing, as he finally gave up on shaking the cake out and set it down with a mock-huff. "I am totally working hard here, don't laugh at me~" It didn't sound right to say that while he was stifling his own laughter, but that wasn't stopping him.

"Its, uh...a work in progress, that's all." Once his supervision was gone, he sort of went to town, okay? Totally normal. "I didn't expect this to be fun."

~~They'd better be the best dang cupcakes ever made in this universe in the history of forever.~~

And that chain reaction ended up sweeping her along as well with more giggles, more free than before but still perhaps by nature more withdrawn than his laughing. "I'm sorry." She doesn't look sorry. (She doesn't sound sorry either.)

"Mmhm." It's hard to tell whether that's incredulous or not, but she's smiling. That's a good sign, right? "I'm sure." She steps closer to survey the mess more thoroughly. "I guess it's good that I got here when I did~." Not that she's likely to do much besides possibly make it worse, but she didn't really mean it, anyway.

~~...what if they're red velvet with chocolate chips.~~

Seeing Nams really laughing was...nice, but he didn't want to dwell on that. "Sure you are-" He almost got out, before his laughing got too much. "Nice try, though~"

Someday, he will teach you to li...e...wait nevermind that is a bad idea.

"You might want to find an apron or something." If she got all messy, then she'd sort of be out of options clotheswise. "I know there's some around here somewhere, but I gave up on them an hour ago. You might have better luck~"

Rox crouched down after that, peering under the counter he was working at, as if looking for more of the fabled aprons. "If we can't find another one, then I guess a smock isn't a bad alternative...?"

He was, sort of getting grease everywhere looking through the cabinets though.

~~... It'd be a slightly better start. 8|~~

Mostly unabashed, she smiles a little wider. "I suppose I deserved that."

... Yes, yes it is. Besides, she generally gets things done WITHOUT lying... which isn't to say she can't be sneaky.

"-- Oh. You're-- probably right. I hadn't considered that." Because she is silly and has never had to think about things like that. She watches him for a moment, then turns to have a look around herself until he speaks up again and she glances his way to see-- "--Roxas, you're making a mess."

....

"... A bigger mess."

~~...rainbow chocolate chips...? ;-;~~

"I am?" He didn't seem aware of the impact he was having on the cabinets, pulling away and frowning when he noticed the butter residue.

"...whoops." And this is why he is also a Horrible Librarian. "Okay, I- I'm gonna go wash up for a second...I don't want whoever has to clean this place to strangle me." He's mostly joking still, but considering he's already planning to make a mess later on...yeah he doesn't wanna heap on even more issues.

At least he couldn't make an even bigger mess while he was washing his hands? ...mostly? If anything, his speedy scrubbing was just sudsing up all the dishes in the sink. Totally beneficial.

"I guess I'm going to have to clean all this mess when I'm done, huh..."

~~... +1 point. 8|~~

She nodded, watching his reaction. Smiling faintly in an attempt to be encouraging, she replied with a, "Right." intended to be approving. "We can't have that."

Turning her eyes back to where she was looking before, she continued to search around. Aprons, aprons.... Now, if only she actually had some kind of experience with a real kitchen that wasn't a secondhand memory never paid much attention. At his comment, though, she looked back his way, smile weakening for the briefest of moment before returning even larger. "Probably. But don't worry, you won't be alone."
