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

[colonial]

[Someone else he can't understand. That seemed to be happening a lot all the sudden, and it was really frustrating. He tilts his head at her, confused, and then holds his hands out--he could take the cat!]

[starofpleiades]

Ah, you want to hold him? Just be nice, okay?

[She smiles and holds Toto out for him to take]

[colonial]

[America takes the cat with care--even if he can't understand her, he can guess more or less at what she's saying, and anyway you have to be careful with animals.

He meows at the cat a little--maybe he will suddenly be able to speak cat! Unfortunately this is not the case.]

[Kazumi giggles; he's really cute! Toto just tilts his head though and paws curiously at America's face]

Thanks! I'll get this cleaned up.

[She points at the mess of sugar and over at the closet where she heads to grab a broom and dustpan]

[colonial]

[America watches her, finally understanding what she's doing when she grabs the broom and dustpan, and sits down out of the way to pet the cat and watch her clean.]

Did you tip it over? [He's asking the cat, but of course the cat can't answer (or speak Swedish, probably).]

[starofpleiades]

[Toto just meows and paws his face again while Kazumi cleans up.]

Heheh, you two are pretty cute together. There! Got it all done.

[It's always sad to throw out ingredients, but you can't use spoiled things. Once that's done, she turns back to America with a smile]

Thanks for holding him!
