Warnings: None foreseen

[Cafeteria]

[A young girl with short hair is hurrying in and out of the kitchen, greeting various people and coming back out with various dishes. Anyone who isn't seated and eating yet, she'll approach, or if she knows you, she'll approach anyway! Newcomer or Tower Resident, she wants to make sure everyone can have what they want - the menu's not that bad this month, but everyone always has different preferences, right? Though, all the guests have to make sure they have their oatmeal first!]

Hi! Are you hungry? What can I get for you?

[Cafeteria Kitchen]

[There's about eight different things cooking in here at any one time as Kazumi runs in and out and cooks various things while working around the staff. She's doing surprisingly well considering how much is going on! But she looks like she's about to run herself ragged...]

[Floor 60 - Deluxe Kitchen]

[Later in the day, one might find Kazumi here... there's an enormous pile of foods here, mostly things like sacks of flour and sugar and so on, but also vegetables and fruits and meat. It looks like she basically stole everything out of the cafeteria...]

Ummm, now how to organize this...?

Comments

she only has two modes, "cute" and "adorable"

[starofpleiades]

Mm, yeah. I'm really happy we can get along together. It really is important here.

Both modes are fine by me!~ <3

[tohko_amano]

Well, I'm not sure if everyone get's along here..but it is important that the majority of us do.

[starofpleiades]

Yeah, there's definitely some people who are at odds... but that just means, all the more, I want to encourage the people who can work together to do so!

[tohko_amano]

[And that earns you another headpat. Kazumi, you really are adorable.]

Right! Even if we can't get along with some people, it just means that there are more people that we can get along with-or, at least, should get along with.

[starofpleiades]

[She giggles; it's a good thing she likes them or she might think she was being patronized or something]

I think a lively and delicious dining atmosphere helps; I mean, you can't really be too mad at someone you're sharing good food with, right?

[tohko_amano]

[Not that Tohko ever meant to be patronizing with them. However, she does grin at that comment as she moves on to chopping up the vegetables.]

That's true! If you have some good food, it's hard to not have good conversation and good company to go along with it!

[starofpleiades]

Yeah! I think, if we can satisfy the basic needs like that, it goes a long ways towards making people more relaxed, and then they can get along better.

[tohko_amano]

Yup! And, if they do get into scuffles, a good meal and a good cup of tea could help them apologize and get along better in the future!

[starofpleiades]

Exactly! And people are always grouchy or miserable if they haven't been eating right.

[tohko_amano]

Exactly! A good meal can bring people together just as much as a bad one can pull them apart!

[Alright, the ham and the spinach was done..Tohko then started chopping up the green pepper.]

[starofpleiades]

Yeah. I know it's not much, compared to a lot of the horrors of this place, but anything that can ease our time here... it's worth it, to me.

[tohko_amano]

Actually, a good meal can make all the difference in the world, depending on the person, just as much as having the right book, song, or stuffed animal. As long as there's something here that can help out, it's worth trying.

[starofpleiades]

Mm! Anything to give you hope.

My- Michiru's grandmother always said, that if you're hungry, then that means you want to live - and as long as that's true, you can have hope.

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko looked a little puzzled when Kazumi switched the 'my' with 'Michiru', but decided not to press it.]

I suppose that's true, in a way. And you can be hungry for a great many things, not just food, so as long as you're hungry for something, you can keep going!

[starofpleiades]

Eheh, I hadn't thought of it that way! I guess that's true too.

[tohko_amano]

[At that, Tohko grinned.]

Of course it is! After all, you can be hungry for books, music, friends, food, swimming..and all sorts of other things!

[Tohko then finished chopping up the green pepper.]

Alright, the things we're going to put in are all chopped up!

[starofpleiades]

Okay great! Let me just roll out the dough... while I'm at it, could you get out the milk and three eggs? Oh, and cheese! Just whichever kind you like.

[tohko_amano]

Oh, sure! Hang on a minute..

[Tohko opened up the fridge and got out a glass of milk and a carton of eggs before putting them on the counter and pulling a package of cheese on the counter. She then closed the fridge.]

There you are!

[starofpleiades]

Thanks! And either grate or cube the cheese? Some people like the cheese throughout, but having chunks of it's good too!

[While she did that, Kazumi got out a pan and started laying out the dough inside it]

[tohko_amano]

Oh, sure! I can do that!

[And Tohko would grab a plate before getting out a cheese grater and started to grate the cheese.]

[starofpleiades]

[Once she gets the dough set, Kazumi grabs a bowl and starts mixing everything together to make the filling, throwing stuff in]

Heheh, it's a big help having someone chop everything up and prepare it for me! Thanks, Tohko.

[tohko_amano]

[And Tohko would just keep grating the cheese as she spoke.]

Oh, you're welcome! I'm always happy to help out! Plus, I've never made this before, so it should be fun to see how it turns out!

[starofpleiades]

Heheh, well, hopefully tasty!

I think that's enough cheese, thanks!

[Taking that, dumps it in the bowl... yeah, quiche is basically a bunch of stuff suspended in eggs and cheese in a crust.

Then she starts pouring the mixture into the pan with the crust she'd prepared]

Can you just make sure one of the ovens is at 180?

[Celsius, of course]

[tohko_amano]

Oh, I'm sure it'll be tasty!

[And Tohko knew what a quiche was..she just never made it before. But they were tasty. However, she nodded at Kazumi's request.]

Oh, sure! I can do that! However..which temperature did you want it set at, Celsius or Fahrenheit?

[After all, recipes did use both.]

[starofpleiades]

Eh? Oh, uh, celsius! At least, I think that's what those ovens use... it's worked okay so far?
