[konpeitoqueen]

Who: Saionji konpeitoqueen and Atsuro babel_hacker
Where: Goldenrod City
When: May 1
Summary: Somehow, Saionji asked Atsuro to teach her how to cook. Things... happen.
Rating: Unless someone starts getting threatened with a knife... nah, nothing.
Log:

[Guess who's crashing the Goldenrod Inn? ...Again? Saionji's got a very conspicuous new haircut- her blonde twin tails have been reduced trimmed down to a fluffy bob, which is pretty impressive, given the circumstances in which it was cut. She certainly went to a good hairstylist to salvage it...

Back to why she's here, though. After finalizing the arrangement after the disastrous circus trip sent her home earlier than she intended, Saionji was very much determined to attempt to forget as much about it as possible.

And move onto some important things... like learning how to cook.]

There you are, Big Bro Atsuro!

[For some reason, someone actually decided to help her with it, too. God save their soul.]

Comments

[babel_hacker]

...No. Just my personal feelings. I just dislike really strong cases of bullying.

[Oh, the oil. He puts his hands up above the pan, feeling the temperature. Yep, just about right.]

You can feel the temperature like that. This is roughly when we want to put in the vegetables and start cooking.

[konpeitoqueen]

Fair enough.

[Being a bully herself, of course she's met people with strong distaste towards it.] But the vegetables, right? Do they all go in at once?

[HAHA TOO LATE there they all go into the pan.] ...Uwaaah, it's been so long since I smelled this with my own nose~! The stinks perpetuating my life for the past month is finally over!

[The stinks?]

[babel_hacker]

That depends on how many pieces there are. The more pieces there are, the longer it cook--

[NEVERMIND. Okay, they can still salvage this! Judging from the sizzling sound, the oil's decently hot enough.]

Wait, what stink? [Now what are the things she described as stinks again?] Have you been eating fast food and takeouts for the past month?

[konpeitoqueen]

[...fffffff]

Stinks of... the instant hot dogs at the supermarket, of course! I tried one, and the smell stayed with me for a whole month! It's just that greasy and terrible! You would think, it was a bag of shit from a fat man's backside...

[Yes, smooth, Saionji. Deflect with harsh words and a bullshit excuse. Watch your tongue, holy shit, stop being so fucking honest... it's as if she's regressing after Murderisland honed her senses again.] So, how long till the radish is done?

[babel_hacker]

Not that long! About several minutes until it looks cooked.

[You know, that cooked looking, lightly crunchy parts.]

Instant hot dogs, huh? I usually grab them off from the street stalls if I find any open. Maybe the ones you tried is just that bad!

[Atsuro's biased because he like his meat. Anyway, gently stirring the radishes and checking their undersides to see how cooked they are.]

[konpeitoqueen]

[Well.

This is actually going pretty well.]

Hmmm... it has just the right aroma now! Is it done?

[Hopefully, the rest of the lesson will go smoothly too! Maybe if Atsuro decides not to question Saionji's slightly obvious slip of tongue from before.]

[babel_hacker]

[Very well, in fact. He can't complain if they can get through this without burning or setting something on fire.]

It should be about done soon! Got the plates ready?

[Okay, he'll ask after they take the food out of the pan. It'd be safer.

Generally speaking.]

[konpeitoqueen]

[True, true. Less risk of burning-hot oil in someone's face. Or eye. Or various other bodily orifices.]

I have them ready! [SHE LOOKS SO PROUD OF HERSELF, TOO

LOOK ATSURO YOU'RE ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING RIGHT WITH YOUR LIFE]

[babel_hacker]

[awww yeah]

Alright, here they go!

[While holding the pan, he tilts it so the radishes start to slide off and onto the plates. Woooooo~

Look at them, man. Not his best work, but they're still edible.]

And now they're ready to eat! They're best eaten while it's still freshly cooked.

[konpeitoqueen]

[YES EATING KCAN

You know what they say- when you put effort in them, they taste so much better. It's kinda true for now, because even though Saionji would be picking on the crunch not being right or something to that effect, she takes a trial bite and is totally fine with this.]

Waaah, when was the last time I tasted freshly cooked radishes? That wasn't from an overpriced, greasy restaurant... [When they're eating is also a good time to bug Saionji, Atsuro. Oh boy.]

[babel_hacker]

[Which he will bug her about, now that she oh so conveniently bring it up.]

Huh! So you have been eating at those types of restaurants?

[So he brought it up and watches her, eating one of the radishes slowly. Mmm, not bad! It's pan fried enough to make it tasty.]

[konpeitoqueen]

When I have money, of course... which isn't much of a problem, seeing that most people are dumb enough to give a cute face like mine a discount.

[Munch munch.]

[babel_hacker]

I can't say no to getting discounts, but I can probably recommend you some places you can try at!

[Because hey, he does eat out if he doesn't want to cook up stuff.]

[konpeitoqueen]

Really? Name them, then! [She trusts a Japanese person to have good taste! Even if they're dumb. Kinda dumb.

Atsuro's nice enough, too. Just like Big Bro Hinata, though... so plain, so normal. Except he apparently has demons? Huh.]

[babel_hacker]

[Hey, he's not dumb! Just a shamelessly proud otaku!]

Alright! Just don't forget to practice what you learned today. [AKA DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY EATING OUT.] So they're...

[Listing a few places! They're mainly Western because man, he love a good steak. But there's also one Poke-Japanese place as well.]

[konpeitoqueen]

[ew western shit

She blanks out all that mentally. But yes, one Japanese place! Alright.]

I definitely will, Big Bro Atsuro! Teehee... thank you!

[WHAT'S THIS?! Your Social Link- no... no, wrong game. You got a Hope Shard- no, that's.. that's not possible here, too.

You... you just spent time with Saionji. Yeah.]

[babel_hacker]

[hey don't blank them out! good steaks!!]

No problem! If you ever need anything or an answer, just ask and I'll see what I can do!

[atsuro no

no be reasonable about this

man, he's in the wrong desu, but let's pretend they just Fate'd up]
