Summary: Aleph relaxes, offends people's eardrums, and learns to cook.
Warnings: Nothing so far!

[Floor 25]
[Aleph was quickly finding out that the one thing the tower was short of, apart from 'exits', 'safety', or 'peace of mind', was 'things to do'.

This may have been one reason why he was sitting in the meadow making a daisy chain.

The other reason... well, he'd just never been in a place this green before. Arcadia didn't count.]

[Floor 14]
[Having set up a karaoke machine in the media room, Aleph naturally decided to practice on it a little. It was fun, it was relaxing, it was enjoyable. No problem, right?

There is one thing about Aleph that a fair number of demons could tell you after an unfortunate attempt at winning them over...

Aleph could not sing.

His voice defied the previous definition of 'off-key'. It made 'off-key' sound like the opera instead. This was just plain bad any way you looked at it.

Oblivious, Aleph would continue to sing until someone stopped him or threw something at his head.]

[Floor 3]
[The books Aleph gathered up in one large pile were all about cooking. Basic cooking, nothing too advanced. After carrying them over to a table, he would just flip through them, stopping on recipes at random. Bother him?]

[Floor 1]
[And after that, of course Aleph went to try to cook something. It wasn't going well, though, and the first... whatever it was supposed to be that he pulled out of the oven was a total mess.]

...I guess I should go back over the recipe.

I had managed to save some deer meat from last week. If you wish, we can cook it up and you can have that.

[alephbet]

That sounds simple enough to cook.

[fusedstars]

[He nods, and pulls out said meat. Not too large, but quite enough to make about 4 or so burgers, if one wanted them, and from too slabs of meat. He places them the grill, and even pulls out a pair of tongs.]

I already seasoned them, so it's just a matter of flipping them on their sides, and applying pressure to cook certain sections if they are not getting enough heat.

[alephbet]

I'm sure I can do that much. [Hopefully.]

[fusedstars]

Then I'll leave it you. [And he hands Aleph the tongs. Best to learn by hand after all.]

[alephbet]

[To his credit, Aleph can handle flipping over a burger with ease. It's not that hard.]

[fusedstars]

In any case, you'll have to forgive my lack of an introduction. My name is Hei. Who are you?

[alephbet]

Aleph. Nice to meet you, Hei.
