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.]

No, it's just an ordinary stove.

[...]

Actually, I'm not sure! It might be magic. But it works like a normal stove.

I'm not a witch, I'm a magical girl!

[OPEN FLAMES, JACK, OPEN FLAMES AND GROSS PIRATE HAIR DON'T MIX]

[andajarofdirt]

[I think his hair is gross enough by now that fire wouldn't even singe it.]

There's a difference?

[starofpleiades]

[Or it might be extra oily and flammable]

Um, well... at least in my world, there is! Magical girls are the ones born of hope who fight the witches, born of despair.

[andajarofdirt]

Really? Witches I know are made of crabs.

[starofpleiades]

Those are... some pretty strange witches! [Says the girl who totally fought a jellyfish witch made of a bunch of smaller jellyfish familiars]

But yeah, I'm not a witch, I'm just a girl with magical powers! [Who had her soul ripped out by a cute fuzzy alien BUT DETAILS]

[andajarofdirt]

How magical is magical, though?

[UNSURE]

[starofpleiades]

Well... I can transform into costume and shoot giant beams of light?

[andajarofdirt]

Hmmm.

[Not convinced. He can do the same, you know. With the right clothes, and maybe a few candles and the right type of mirror...]

[starofpleiades]

Hmm...? [Kazumi looks back at him curiously]

Anyway, I'm Kazumi!

[andajarofdirt]

[Oh well, we're saving that idea that just occurred to him for the next time he's bored. Or as soon as he figures out how to blame someone else for the aftermath.]

And I am Captain Jack Sparrow, nice to meet you, lass.

[starofpleiades]

Eheh, nice to meet you, Captain!

[Oh, wait]

Ah, Saber said I'm not supposed to talk to you!

[andajarofdirt]

Oh?

[It takes a moment for Jack's face to light up with recognition. And just the slightest hint of deviousness, which was then buried under well-craft mock hurt.]

Oh, I did not expect her to be that petty. It's so very sad when a lov--I mean, when a quarrel between two is dragged out for everyone to see.

[starofpleiades]

Saber's not petty! She said you were a drunk and inappropriate for young ladies like me!

[totally missed the "lovers" implication]

[andajarofdirt]

Well, if she's not petty why'd she lie to an impressionable young lady like you?

[starofpleiades]

Wh- well, I don't think she's lying. Saber wouldn't lie to me.

[andajarofdirt]

So you're calling me a liar.

[He sounds hurt.]

[starofpleiades]

Well... yeah. If I have to choose.

[andajarofdirt]

And doesn't that strike you as a bit unfair?

[starofpleiades]

Well, no, I mean, I've known Saber a lot longer and found her trustworthy and I just met you and you're kind of like she said and you almost got your hair in the food.

[THAT LAST ONE IS IMPORTANT]

[andajarofdirt]

Did I?

[starofpleiades]

Yes! When you first came in here.
