6th Recipe - Scrambled Eggs [Open]

[starofpleiades]

Characters: Kazumi and You!
Setting: The cafeteria
Format: Action
Summary: Finding the issue with the languages, Kazumi decides to use the universal language: food!
Warnings: None so far

[Kazumi had never really thought that much before about the fact that everyone here could talk to each other... but now, suddenly they can't! Somehow, the Tower sounds noisier than ever as all the talking becomes a cacophony of different languages. Still, people would need to eat so... maybe they could all agree on that at least, without a need for words? Whipping up an array of dishes - casserole, curry, pastas... all unfortunately kind of orange due to the weird food dye this month - Kazumi was keeping busy. Of course, the newest addition to the kitchen wasn't helping]

Ah, Toto! Don't play with that!

[Unfortunately, the cat didn't understand Japanese any better than the kitchen workers today, so the scruffy black critter was happy to push over the canister of sugar and spill it all over the floor.]

Comments

[starofpleiades]

Well, he showed up recently? Um... I think it was to make up for last month; he came with a note. [Not exactly a happy way to get her pet, but she's glad to have him] His name's Toto!

[scorchedchivalry]

[Saber looks at the cat.] Hello, Toto. I am Saber.

[starofpleiades]

[Kazumi giggles at that, and more as Toto reaches up to paw at her face. It's a good thing Satomi tamed him to be a lot nicer...]

Heehee, I guess he likes you!

[scorchedchivalry]

[Saber smiles a small bit, letting the cat do as it pleased.]

For some reason, pets seem to like me.

[starofpleiades]

[Kazumi smiles, happy to see the usually serious knight with such a gentle look]

Maybe they know you're a good person?

[Well, while Saber has Toto occupied, she's going to take the opportunity to clean up the mess, righting the can and putting it back then getting a broom and pan to sweep up the spilled sugar with]

[scorchedchivalry]

That is a matter of opinion.

[Saber once was a good person. She wasn't so sure that label fits her anymore.]

[starofpleiades]

Well, I think you are, and Toto must too!

[Well, at the least, she makes cleaning up a lot easier! It doesn't take long for Kazumi to get it squared away]

Eheh... I'm surprised you speak Japanese!

[scorchedchivalry]

And why is that?

[starofpleiades]

Um, well... I guess because you're a British Knight, right?

[She didn't really hear that the whole "Holy Grail War" was in Japan...]

[scorchedchivalry]

Well, yes, I am a Briton so naturally I speak The King's English, but the Holy Grail War took place in Japan. I needed to be able to blend into society, so I spoke Japanese.

[starofpleiades]

Ohh! How worldly! Eheh, I only speak a little English, so it's a good thing you speak Japanese or we wouldn't be able to talk at all, huh?

Wow, though to think that took place in Japan... why there? It seems kind of out of place!

[scorchedchivalry]

I also know some of the Frankish tongue.

As for why Japan? There is a major leyline conjunction in that area, making it ideal for the Heaven's Feel ceremony. A Holy Grail War is to be fought there every sixty years.

[starofpleiades]

Frankish?

[Finished cleaning, Kazumi sets every back up and gets back to cooking; hopefully Saber doesn't mind keeping an eye on Toto]

A leyline... that's a magic thing, right? Wait, there's been more than one of these wars?

[scorchedchivalry]

...French. [Saber had to think for a moment to find the modern name for the region.]

I have only participated in the two Wars, both in Japan, though I cannot rule out the potential of other Wars in other locations.

[starofpleiades]

Oh! Eheh, I don't really know any of that, just English and a little Italian.

Wow, to think there's been many of them... and they each have their own grail?

[scorchedchivalry]

I am not versed in the magic of it well enough to answer that. [Magic is not the way of a king.] You would need to ask one of the magi for an answer to that.

[starofpleiades]

Huh... the "masters", right? Oh right, there are some of those here, aren't there? Hmm...

But, some of them might have been your enemies! Are there ones here I should watch out for?

[scorchedchivalry]

Stay away from Caster's master, Ryuunosuke Uryuu, and leave Rin Matou alone. I suggest asking either Irisviel or Illya von Einzbern or Waver Velvet.

[starofpleiades]

Oh, I met Irisviel recently! Eheh... she's really nice.

[scorchedchivalry]

She is. [Saber gets a soft smile on her face as she pets the cat.] She is my princess.

[starofpleiades]

Oh? Your real, actual princess? Heheh... I can really see that, with you as her handsome knight!

[scorchedchivalry]

As close as one can get without being royalty. She is my princess by choice, not by lineage.

[starofpleiades]

Wow, that's so wonderful. It must be nice to have her here, where you can protect her.

[scorchedchivalry]

A second chance...

[The knight seems lost in thought, looking down at the cat.]

[starofpleiades]

A... second chance?

[Kazumi doesn't really get it]
