[Cookerin' all day every day]
Setting: The poor, unfortunate cafeteria kitchens.
Characters: Lineface (Narukami), Bugface (Asch) and YOU.
Summary: Follow-up to Rise’s network post: COOK ALL THE THINGS!
Format: Whatever. If you want only one of the boys, specify in comment title.
Warnings: It is a redhead and a bowlcut. Snark in the kitchen is inevitable.
[And so once again, to the kitchens. There’s a certain irony in what Rise said, even if it’s not actually true, because hadn’t Asch joked about exactly this with Guy before the blond disappeared for good?
Whether it’s true or not, it’s better safe than sorry. That’s why they’re down here, sorting the flowers and other plants out from everything else, just in case. Especially since, if memory served correctly, this had happened before during one of Riki’s months last year. Of course, they aren’t just there for providing edible substances... but likely to give a few pointers as well if you aren’t exactly up to par with them and along the lines of mystery “food” X.]

Aw yiss
[Not really indicating whether he believes it or not, there, good job Asch. Better safe than sorry either way, which is how he's wound up down here for the foreseeable future.
At least the company's decent. Backhanded introductions are go?]'
Sheba, Yu Narukami. He's - [Sort of a friend.] - Luke's sword instructor here.
of course you may
[He shrugs, but then turns to nods to Sheba.]
Nice to meet you, Sheba-san.
hoorayyy!
[As much as she'd like to believe it's not true - well, it wouldn't surprise her. This month has been relatively easy so far, and while it may just be a calm before the storm that will be the next Ruana month, peace seems out of place in the Tower. She does her best to remove the frown from her face before she nods back to Yu.]
It's nice to finally meet you! I've... heard about you. [While mindsnooping. She'll just leave that detail out.]
So, I guess you're trying to figure out if any of the ingredients are already poisoned? If you need someone to test... I don't mind. I've been poisoned in battle before, and I don't think it will kill me if I only have a little bit from this.
no subject
Supposedly, it's just the plants that are toxic.
[He waves one hand at the stacked flowers and herbs on one side of the counter.]
Better to just avoid them than start testing on people. Some ingested poisons take hours to have any effect.
[Assassin by trade says you're not allowed to eat potentially poisonous things, friendperson.]
no subject
'Thou shouldst not be so surprised, with our reputation.'
'Fair enough.'
...Oh well. Focus on what they're talking about, instead.]
And here a 'friend' was glad to have tea for a month. [Can you hear the dripping sarcasm.]
But he's right. We'd rather just avoid it to be safe.
no subject
Oh... if it's the plants that are poisonous, I guess that means the wine is out, too. [She sighs heavily.] There's something with plants in it. It tasted like... rosewater, I think?
That's a shame. It was way better wine than I ever had in Tolbi.
[...says the fifteen year old.]
So, what are you two going to try and make instead? Do you need any help?
no subject
[Sheba, why are you drinking, you're the youngest person in this conversation
even ignoring whacky Auldrant years.]It's whatever's simplest, for now. From the sound of it, there's a lot of people we need to feed.
[Half a dozen of Narukami's friends, apparently, plus virtually everyone from Auldrant who couldn't cook, and then Sheba and anyone else who decided to show up...]
no subject
Before the age of fifteen.
...Remind him to not introduce her to Naoto and Kanji, then. He has a feeling they knew their alcohol, too.]
Kanji-kun was going to help keep Rise from making whatever they find too spicy, so...
[They are going to be busy so of course they could use the help. ...If she knew how to cook because let's face it, none of the girls back home knew how except for Naoto who knew how to follow a recipe.]
/casually phonetags
Yeah... Well, I'll definitely help if there's anything you need me to do! [She holds up the cookbook she'd filched from the library on her way to the kitchen.] Most of the stuff in here looked pretty simple, and I'm good at following directions. [Plus she could just peek into their minds to figure out how to do something if she got confused along the way.]
/also casually phonetags
Even if Asch cheats his way by on a military exception once or twice.]A couple recipes are always a good place to start.
[He's sure Narukami can vouch for what happens when someone tries to experiment without knowing what they're doing just as well as he can.
Yu why are our love interests terrible cooks.]/casually late on accident whoops
I have one for curry and a few pork dishes...
[But the likelihood that either of them know what those dishes are is small and it makes him sad. Silly other world cuisine.
Probably to balance out our skillz...]
