Track 376 - Eat It [Open]

[princeofjunes]

Morning - Cafeteria Kitchen

[Yosuke isn't really sure what's possessed him to come this far. It's not like he's ever had a problem eating the cafeteria food, but today? Today he finds himself in the kitchen, staring at a frying pan and with a bunch of eggs at the ready. An omelet. It can't really be that hard, right?]

[Sure, the girls all screwed it up, but that was because they were all genuinely terrible at cooking! No matter what he does, he can't do it that bad]

[Right?]

Okay, so... I crack the eggs first, right?

[Deep breaths]


Midday - Media Room

[And now that his mis-adventures in cooking are over, it's time for his usual pastime - wasting the day away in the media room! Today's choice?]

[Seems he's just kicking back and listening to some tunes. And whether it's nostalgia or something else, today's choice is certainly pop-ier than what he usually listens to. It's the upbeat catchy tunes of one Risette!]

[Approach?]


Late Afternoon - Music Room

Dammit!

[He swears after a very sharp and wrong-sounding note. Closer inspection would show that Yosuke has a guitar in hand and while it's not clear what exactly he's trying to play, he's certainly trying to play something! Judging from the look of frustration on his face, however, it doesn't seem to be going well]

Come on, I get to be on stage with Gas Chamber and now I can't play to save my life? I was never that good, but this just isn't fair!

[And yet despite his lement, there he goes again!]

[Good judgement never was his forte]

Media Room

[scorchedchivalry]

[Saber didn't come to this floor often. The Holy Grail had instilled her with enough knowledge that she understood a lot of the devices on this floor, but she was a knight, so it felt a little uncomfortable to be there.

But the music was a little catchy...]

Pardon me. What are you listening to?

[princeofjunes]

[Well now, there's a face he's never seen before! But Yosuke always makes an effort to be friendly, so he smiles brightly at her]

Oh, this? It's a pop idol from back home - Rise Kujikawa! Her fans like to call her Risette though.

If you like it, why not grab a seat? I don't mind!

Music Room

[tohko_amano]

Tohko walked by the music room, reading You Only Live Twice when she heard someone yelling about their playing skills. Curious, she closed the book and wandered into the room, where a boy was holding a guitar and looking rather annoyed. Tohko smiled.

"Pardon, but if you need some help, I can run and grab you a few books on playing the guitar."

[princeofjunes]

Yosuke's attention is successfully drawn from the guitar by the arrival of a cute girl! Yet another one he's never met before, as a matter of fact. He can't help but feel a little sheepish that she's seeing him like this, but then again, with his luck he should really just be thankful that he's not in a garbage can.

"You really think it would help?" He gives her a smile and a bit of a sheepish laugh. "I've always just tried learning by ear, but I guess a book wouldn't be a bad idea."

[fuhgeddaboudit]

"...Huh? That voice sounds kinda familiar." Labrys stepped forward curiously, red eyes moving from Yosuke to the rest of the room and back again

[princeofjunes]

Labrys brought a bit smile to Yosuke's face - he may not have had the chance to get to know her back home yet, but he still considered her a good a friend as any.

"Oh, no one told you? You remember Rise, right? She's a pop idol! Famous singer, actor - the while thing! This is one of her biggest songs back home." He shrugged, tone a little teasing.

"Guess I felt nostalgic or something."

Media Room

[idolizer]

[ Sayaka got a sort of habit out of checking this floor everyday to have some relaxing time.

Oh, this song sounds a little familiar! Have a fellow idol approach, a small, polite smile on her face. Might as well get to know some people, and this guy looks just as normal as she is. ]

Hello. This is a nice choice for a song.

[princeofjunes]

[Well hello there! Yosuke actually recalls seeing Sayaka around before - she at least looks familiar - but he's never really spoken to her before. It's a good a time to change that as any, so she gets a warm smile and a wave]

What can I say? I'm a sucker for a catchy song and a cute pop star. What about you?

Music Room

[heavenscorpse]

[Coming down the staircase, V/V flies into the room rather than walks into it - all those instruments on the ground, she doesn't want to step on any - before landing next to him.]

I know how to play the guitar. Maybe I'd be an okay teacher?

[princeofjunes]

[Why hello there, cute blond girl literally flying into the room and offering to teach him to play guitar! Just give him a moment to realize that no, he's not dreaming and this is a thing that's actually happening. Once he's recovered, though...]

Y-yeah, of course! I'd love some lessons, if you don't mind!

Cafeteria Kitchen

[altitonant_emperor]

[ Hidetoshi wasn't sure himself why he had decided to explore the kitchen after coming in here to drop off his dirty dishes when he was done with the usual bland breakfast. But here he was.

He's surprised to find some random guy attempting to do what looks like cooking himself an omelet, judging from the frying pan and eggs even though he's seemingly missing the milk, salt, and butter. Hidetoshi can understand why; man, the cafeteria food is sorta awful. He blinks when he hears the teenager muttering to himself. ]

Yeah, you do.

[ And he's be walking briskly over to the next sink over with his dirty dishes in hand to dump them into it. ]

[princeofjunes]

[Wait, what was that? The sound of help? The sound of A NEW BEST FRIEND?]

[At the very least, even if it's none of the above, it's the sound of someone who knows what they're doing, and unlike the girls? Yosuke is not too proud to ask for help, especially when his goal is just to make something edible, and so he turns to the source of the sound. He looks like a guy around his age, and Yosuke finds himself a little relieved - the older people in the tower can be more than a little intimidating sometimes]

Hey, you sound like you know what you're doing. Why not lend me a hand? I wouldn't mind sharing, as long as they turn out edible.

cafeteria kitchen

[prayed]

[Kyoko only spares Yosuke a cursory glance as she enters the kitchen, taking the last couple bites out a croissant and making her way over to the fridge. She answers his question while searching it.]

Hm...that depends on what you're trying to make, y'know.

[princeofjunes]

[Oh god. He's still not sure he can look Kyoko in the eye again, but thankfully she's not looking at him, so it's easy for him to return the favor]

Nothing too fancy, just an omelet. Just want to prove that I can, you know? I'm a little lost, though.

Cafeteria Kitchen, DID SOMEBODY CALL FOR A GENUINELY TERRIBLE COOK? |D

[idol_support]

[Rise had thought she'd caught a glimpse of a familiar figure heading into the kitchen a few minutes ago. So it only made sense to follow after him, just to be sure, and yup, there he was: Yosuke Hanamura, one of her friends that she hadn't managed to track down just yet. Well, until now obviously.

So with a smile on her face and a bounce in her step, she hurries towards him.]

Yosuke-senpai, hey!

[It's pretty clear that she's not surprised to see him--her previous scans had told her that the whole Investigation Team was here, even if she'd been having more trouble that usual actually locating them--though she might be a little surprised to see him here. As in, here in the kitchen. As far as she knew, Yu was the only one of the guys who knew much of anything about cooking...

Still, Rise sidles up to stand beside Yosuke at the counter, leaning forward a bit with obvious interest.]

Ooh, what are you making? You know, you look like you could use a little help...


[RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY!!! Or at least, for the love of all things holy, keep her away from the spices 8|]

APPARENTLY!

[princeofjunes]

[Yosuke Hanamura is doomed]

[The logical part of his brain is screaming at him to run, run fast, and run now. Rise Kujikawa is in a kitchen - in the kitchen with him - and there is absolutely nothing good that can result in this. He's had the misfortune of tasting all her solo cooking efforts, and they were never anything enjoyable - he was lucky just to endure them]

[But then there's the fact that she's a team member, and he hasn't seen her in a long time, though he'd heard through the grapevine that she had found herself in the tower. Not only has he missed her something fierce (along with the rest of his teammates), but Yosuke knows how happy his Partner must be now that Rise is here. Yes it's bad that she's in a terrible horrible place blah blah whatever - he knows that sense of relief to finally see someone you care about, someone that you missed]

[And so happiness overrides his self preservation instincts, and one Yosuke Hanamura is doomed]

Rise-chan! I knew I'd see you sooner or later! I just thought I'd try making an omelet - see if I can figure it out, you know?

[Please don't try to help...]

Kitchen

[legatus]

[Don't mind the guy just...busy cooking on the other side looking like he's a freaking natural at it.

...mostly because he is. And it smells really good. On the other hand, even if he's shorter than you, he seems pretty intimidating, doesn't he?]

[princeofjunes]

[Don't mind?! How is he supposed to not mind with amazing smells like that floating around the kitchen? Yosuke can't help but look and... shit, he does look intimidating]

[But how bad could it really be? He looks like he's close-ish to Yosuke's age, and what's the worst case scenario, that he gets blown off? ... well the worst case scenario is Yosuke getting hot cooking oil thrown at him or something like that, but he'd prefer not to think about it]

Man, you're really good at this, huh?

Music room

[pitiedthefool]

...I think we could all use the practice, really.

[Says the one who snuck in silently (like a boss) and has a trumpet in his hand. He's still a little rusty considering he took a break for a year. Be glad he missed your cooking misadventures?]

[princeofjunes]

[No one will ever speak of what happened in that kitchen again. NO ONE]

[But while he's mildly surprised to see his partner, quite frankly he's used to him appearing like a bowl cut ninja. Yosuke just grins and gives a laugh]

Yeah, yeah. Now you're going to start to play and literally blow me out of the water, right?

Cafeteria Kitchen

[tempus_scorpius]

[Rolo's not really sure what he's doing in here either, but he didn't really have anything else to do and wandered into the kitchen, perhaps to see what sort of knives they have when he sees the other boy puzzling over the eggs.]

... what are you making?

[princeofjunes]

[It's an endless chain of puzzling! But the voice is enough to make him look up and give a sheepish smile]

I'm trying to make an omelet, but I'm not really sure what I'm doing.

Media Room - TOTALLY LATE TO THIS PARTY

[princeofchariots]

[So her trying to look around by herself was not a good idea. She got lost twice and was almost ready to go back to her room before coming to this floor. But since she's here, might as well explore around and see what's here.

As she does just this, she catches a familiar face.]

Yosuke?

IT'S OKAY GLAD YOU CAME ♥

[princeofjunes]

[His heart stops just for a moment when he hears the voice. He knows what to expect when he looks over, but it doesn't mean he's ready for it - especially when he doesn't know what to feel]

... Chie?

[Still, even not knowing what to feel, you'd think it was his birthday from the smile on his face]

Chie! It took you long enough!

[Because he honestly has no clue what to even say]

Cafeteria

[justabignobody]

[For his part, Riku usually considers it too much of a bother to cook for himself - why not take up the offer of the cafeteria, especially in a month they get this kind of variety Go Dax! - but others who take the time and effort to work with what they get even then certainly have his respect.]

That's usually how it works. [Riku isn't a kitchen genius, but he knows some basics at least. And well. Can't make an omelet without breaking eggs and all.] ...Unless you are aiming for boiled eggs.

[ooc: Laaaate, but considering that those two have been roommates since forever, I'd love to get some CR. |Da;]

Sorry this is STUPID LATE, feel free to ignore orz

[princeofjunes]

[Yosuke looks over at the source of his voice and hey, it's that guy he shares a room with! ... and when he realizes that's all he knows him as, he can't help but feel more than a little guilty. After all, they've been roomies for how long now? Thankfully, the sheepishness is overridde by the fact that he still has no real clue what he's doing, whoops]

Well yeah, but that can't really be all there is to it, right? Just... cracking the eggs and letting them cook?

Music Room

[detecting]

Perhaps you'd fare better with an ensemble, senpai?

[princeofjunes]

[He gets a grin on his face when he looks up - it's not the company he was expecting, but he's not about to complain either!]

Is that you volunteering, Naoto?

I'm gonna do this because I'm terrible - Kitchen

[worldrestored]

[There's some sort of guy that doesn't have a shirt and he's dragging an entire dead DEER behind of him, and acting like it's not a big deal for the most part.]

You meant amazing, clearly

[princeofjunes]

[... omelet?]

[What's that?]

[Yosuke has forgotten at the sight of the Shirtless Wonder dragging a goddamn DEER behind him. He looks between the deer, then Mr. Shirtless, and back again]

[And then finally...]

Seriously?!
