[starofpleiades]

Characters: Kazumi and You!

Format: Either
Summary: Kazumi is running around trying to cook things for all the newcomers so they don't have to just eat what's on the menu! Also, stocking up the other kitchen
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

Floor 60!

[beknightedheroine]

K-Kazumi...

_{[Okay, so this definitely isn't out of character for her, but Sayaka is still pretty surprised at the pure extent of all this food and or food ingredients. She's not sure whether to call Kazumi crazy or offer to help.]}

..Maybe if you put it all by size or importance?

Cafeteria

[hideandhero]

[Seriously, a waitress? He could get used to this pretty quickly. Instead of doing this himself, he pulls out a bag of tea leaves.]

I'll take some tanna tea.

Just be warned, when you brew this up, I hear the uninitiated find its smell to be pretty bad.

Cafeteria Kitchen

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko had wandered into the kitchen, hoping to make something normal so that her cover wouldn't be blown..and had walked into a cooking warzone, with only one girl managing everything.

There was no way Tohko could just walk away from this poor girl.]

Hey, is there anything I can help out with?!

[starofpleiades]

Oh, hey, Sayaka!

[Kazumi waves cheerfully before turning back to the food]

Hmm, maybe. Or I was thinking by shelf-life? Well, the vegetables and meats will have to go in the fridge anyway...

[starofpleiades]

[Kazumi stops by, a smile on her face and a look of interest when he pulls those out]

Oh, you brought your own tea leaves? That's great! I'll go start a pot of hot water - do you take any sugar or milk with it?

[starofpleiades]

Huh? Ah, don't worry about it, I have a handle on everything!

[She says as she turns around and flips off one of the burners, stirring the frying pan of food and dumping it in a serving bowl. She stirs it curiously and...] Ah, safe!

[Barely has a handle on all of it, looks like]

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko sighed and smiled to herself as she stepped further in. Tohko was stubborn, and it was nearly impossible to shake her off.]

It looks like you're still dealing with a lot though. Let me help out. What else do you have cooking here?

[beknightedheroine]

...We should prrrroooobably put those away now, and then you can decide.

_{[Well, that settles it, she's helping. Sayaka attempts to find some of those mentioned perishables, picking past more pink-stained heart shaped everythings than she's ever seen before in her life.]}

floor 60

[ghostytrainer]

[John and his Litwick were wandering the tower as usual, not really heading anywhere in particular other than "upstairs". However, when he reaches the sixtieth floor, he notices something that makes him stop on the staircase. Or more specifically: someONE and a whole LOT of foody somethings.]

Hm? Kazumi?

[He says this more to himself rather than trying to get Kazumi's attention. Instead of continuing his trek upstairs, he abandons the stairs and heads over towards the girl, a mildly curious look on his face. This is kind of a ridiculous amount of food for one person. Or even a group of people.]

Well, you could always organize them by what type of food it is. You know: veggies, meats, grains, et cetera, et cetera.

[starofpleiades]

Ahaha, yeah, the organizing probably matters more for the things we'll have around for the while...

[She tried not to get too many of the ingredients that had already been converted into weird pink hearts yet, but there's a few in there...]

Thanks for the help.

[starofpleiades]

Eheh, well, if you're familiar with cooking...

Um, that bowl's full of pancake batter, for the people who didn't want pink ones; there's some crepes already cooked that just need filling, and- [And about five other things she can name in various states of cooking or cooked or ready to be served]

[starofpleiades]

Hm? Oh, hi, John!

[Kazumi gives him a smile as he comes over]

Hmm, yeah, I mean, at least the meat and veggies are going to end up in the fridge anyway. I guess usually I don't have so much food on hand I have to worry about organizing it much more than that...

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko nodded as she listened to the girl and burned all the information onto her brain.]

Alright then! I'll start cooking the pancakes then before moving on! I'll help you out!

[True to her word, Tohko dug out a frying pan, set it on a stove burner, set it to the correct temperature, and put some pancake batter in before getting out a plate to put the finished pancakes on.]

cafeteria

[goldendays]

[Eh? Hibiki planned to go to the cafeteria and find something to eat--hooray he ate his oatmeal like a good boy so now he can have real food praise the food lords--but he didn't expect to get a face full of girl asking him what he wanted to eat. Even his yellow pokemon companion looked surprised.]

H-huh?!

[beknightedheroine]

No prob. It gives me something to do anyway - I'm not sure if I wanna be out there with all those people from, uh... outside...

_{[She trails off, and attempts to move past the subject by shuffling around some of the noisier items until she comes up with something better to say.]}

Man, how long did it take you to get all this stuff up here...?

Floor 60

[idolizer]

[ Don't mind her, just passing by and suddenly seeing all that pile of food. Her stunned look says everything about what she's feeling about this. ]

Do you... need a hand with that?

Cafeteria kitchen!

[carabina]

[ Kazumi was really overworking herself.

It worried Mami, and the older girl wanted to help her out. After all, this was just too much for one girl. She quickly walked over to where Kazumi was stationed with a sift smile on her face. ]

Kazumi-san, it looks like you could use some help. Allow me to help. [ Since she wasn't going to take no for an answer! ]

[hideandhero]

You're not going to find these anywhere around here so it's good I had these with me.

And no, I take it plain. I'm something of an enthusiast on the taste of tea.

[Cafeteria]

[wirefu]

[Oh my, that... certainly is a lot of cooking going on. At first it seems like it might just be the tower workers fixing up the next round of meals, and it seems like the preparations are beginning, but she also spots a familiar figure darting about and tending to most of the dishes.]

... Kazumi? Are you trying to do all of this by yourself?

Cafeteria kitchen

[frilliance]

[Edgeworth had a small hope that he would find something which was not that awful strawberry tea although, considering this tower, he expected that he was going to be slightly disappointed - again. However, when the man stepped into the kitchen, he noticed all the things cooking in the kitchen. Not only that but there was only one girl who seemed to be doing it all by herself and she looked rather tired...]

Excuse me, Miss, but are you cooking all this by yourself? [His tone sounds stern and disapproving although that is because nobody else seems to have offered to help her. Hmmm....perhaps he should lend her a hand...?]

deluxe kitchen

[puppy_lancer]

...What the fuck.

[Lancer is just...staring at the huge stockpile of food.]

Are you eating all that, or is there some other reason for all that food?

cafeteria kitchen

[terreifying]

[Look who's impatient about getting her food. Rei is poking her head into the kitchen to see why everything is so slow.]

Heee~ey, are you the only cook here?

[starofpleiades]

You think so? I thought they're kind of interesting...

[Well, Kazumi won't press the subject]

Um, a few hours. I kinda mighta used my magic a little to help lift it all so I only had to take a few trips. Don't tell Saber!

[beknightedheroine]

Your secret's safe with me!

_{[Sayaka attempts a reassuring salute, and then halfway through realizes that's not a good idea and has to scramble to catch her balance without dropping anything.]}

[starofpleiades]

Ooh, well, you should be careful with them, then! Who knows when you might be able to get more.

Heheh, I can understand that, even if I don't myself. Well, then, you can hold onto them and I'll bring out a pot of water and tea set - do you want any cookies or anything with them?
