Who: Chie Satonaka and YOU!
Broadcast: Video, fleet-wide, open.
Action: SS Paisley
When: Sunday afternoon; 6/21

[hey look, it's a teen girl's face and she is frowning as she stares at an array of pots and pans in the kitchen of the paisley. she may have a cooking augment but some of this stuff still perplexes her greatly.]

Hmm ... so can anyone tell me, what's the difference between broiling and grilling again?

[she rubs at her temple because sheesh this stuff is giving her a headache. then, a thought occurs to her.]

Oh! I guess I forgot to introduce myself when I got here. [she laughs, sheepish, then smiles, wide and genuine. look how friendly this girl is.] I'm Chie Satonaka! Nice to meet you, everyone! [and she waves.]

Uhhh, what are you doing in a kitchen?

[ He looks absolutely horrified. ]

[she rolls her eyes.]

Cooking dinner. [DUH.] What does it look like I'm doing?

[ That is exACTLY WHAT HE WAS AFRAID OF and his eyes go even wider. ]

What do you mean, cooking dinner? Why are you cooking at all?!

It's my job. [her teeth might be clenched a little. come on, yosuke, don't go where she is pretty sure you are going. the curry incident was just as much yukiko's fault as hers.] It's fine. Really!

Edited 2015-06-22 02:47 (UTC)

No, it's not fine! That's the worst job! Can't you get another job?!

[ He is SO CONCERNED FOR YOUR SHIP RIGHT NOW ]

You can't just pick a job, Yosuke! Remember? [she points to the back of her head, the point where her implant is located.]

[ Looong pause... ]

... So is that thing helping you any? Because I still think you should probably warn people. You know, common courtesy. [ Beat. ] Or maybe they can just have sandwiches?

I told you, it's fine! [she's definitely a lot shriller on the "fine."] I'm a lot better at this than last year's camping trip. A-and besides, you're not even on my ship!

[Chie you are so cute. Nunnally can't help but smile at this message, and waves back] Hello Chie, I'm Nunnally.

And, ah... I'm not a very good cook. But, I think you grill something by putting it directly on heated metal racks.

[and she actually isn't sure what broiling is so she'll see if she can get away with not sounding ignorant by just not... saying anything]

Edited 2015-06-22 01:41 (UTC)

Hi Nunnally! Nice to meet you.

[then she sighs.] I'm not the best cook either, but it's my job here, so I'm gonna try to do my best! After all, practice makes perfect, right?

Exactly. And if your ship has a kitchen, then you must have someone with the cooking augment! Perhaps they could help you?

[w h o o p s, she's sorry Chie, she doesn't realize that you were the cook in question]

Oh ... ahaha, that's me, actually. I'm the cook.

[it's ok, this is awkward for her too.]

Edited 2015-06-24 02:55 (UTC)

Ah-- I'm sorry. That was rude of me to make assumptions.

But that's good to hear. Your augment will hopefully provide some extra knowledge, and with practice I'm sure you'll grow tremendously!

Aw, hey, don't worry about it, OK? [chie smiles. no harm done!] I'll figure it out eventually! And there's another cook here too, so I'm not alone.

[phew, she's glad]

Really? That must be fun to work with someone closely like that. What are they like? [feel free to cut her off if she's being too nosy, chie]

[Adachi had kept his head down when Chie first arrived. He hadn't been sure whether or not to alert her to his presence. However, given the sudden influx of these idiots, Adachi knew it was pointless to try and hide. Might as well say hi instead. After all, it wasn't fair to greet the other two and leave the third out of the loop. It was more funny when they were all "working" together anyways. Adachi only hoped that her reaction would be as priceless as Yu-kun's and that Junes kid's.]

My, my... don't you know how rude it is to ignore a familiar face. Here I was waiting politely for you to say hi, but I guess you high school brats really are lacking in manners.

[offscreen, chie slams a spoon down on the counter. she recognizes that voice, and the "brats" is a dead giveaway that adachi isn't pretending to be some affable small-town cop here. dammit. this is not good. she takes a deep breath, picks up and replies to his video message, scowling, mirroring the filter as best she can figure out.]

What are you doing out of your jail cell, Adachi?

Edited 2015-06-22 12:14 (UTC)

[Adachi chuckles sinisterly, holding a hand to his forehead. Her reaction was great. Each of the three brats all had the most entertaining looks on their faces at just the sound of his voice. Was he really so scary to them? If so, then that made things all the more fun.]

Jeez, you make it seem like I meant to wind up out here in the middle of space.

[He holds his hands up in mock surrender.]

You caught me officers. I can't believe you saw through my brilliant interstellar escape plan.

[Adachi then busts out in laughter.]

Pfft, what a joke...

Shut up!

[her jaw clenches - that laughter. she had the sound of it ringing in her ears for days after she and her friends had battled adachi in magatsu inaba.]

If you even think about trying to do anything here, I'm gonna ...

[Adachi cocks an eyebrow, before sighing in mock exasperation. He holds his forehead and shakes his head. His tone is pure condescension.]

Jeez, you really think that I'd be able to get away with anything like that here? We're kind of in relatively confined spaces here. Not to mention the fact that apparently everything we do is being filmed. How stupid do you think I am?

[He then smiles wickedly.]

Though that little threat of yours is cute. It's almost like you think you're actually intimidating to me or something.

Stupid enough to still try it. [yeah, chie just doesn't think highly of you at all, adachi.]

I swear I will punt you into a black hole the first chance I get if you try to hurt anyone. That's not a threat, Adachi - it's a promise.

[Adachi just sighs and rolls his eyes.]

Whatever. Clearly, whatever I'm saying is just going to go in one ear and out the other. I'm surprised you think you can talk so big without your ability to summon your Persona.

I don't need my Persona to kick your ass, Adachi.

[Adachi's face loses any display of feigned amusement. He's dead serious now, and his tone is level but threatening. He takes his teime with each word, making sure it all sinks in.]

Whatever you say. Now listen, very carefully, because I want to be very clear about something. If you say anything to anyone in this fleet about back home, the murders, or who I am... I will make things very unpleasant for you, that Yosuke punk and Yu-kun. Feel free to let them know that as well. Oh, and don't think for a second that I won't find out if any of you tell someone off the network. I'm very good at finding out what I want to know.

[A slight venomous grin finds its way back onto his face.]

I was a detective after all.

[Alex pauses in the kitchen doorway, slouching against it as she watches Chie try to work.]

Well, grilling is when you put it over actual fire, and broiling... has something to do with London? I think?

[chie glances up from studying the array of pots and pans in front of her.]

London ... that's a city, right?

Yeah. Big city in England.

[She walks closer to get a look at what's going on in here.]

You from Earth?

Edited 2015-06-27 05:34 (UTC)

[chie nods, smiling.]

Yep! Sure am. Though I'm from Japan - Inaba. [a little roll of her eyes.] Not a big city. I think we had some questions about England on a history exam a while back.

[there's a collection of pots and pans in total disarray on the counters. chie clearly has no idea what she's doing.]

[Alex gives a little hum of acknowledgement, picking up an empty pan like it's an unfamiliar artifact.]

Hm. Never been to Japan. I'm from New York.

New York ... that's America, right? [she's pretty sure she remembers that one.] What's it like there?

Yeah. It's pretty cool. Something like six million people live there, and every single person's different. The whole place never goes to sleep. And the food's totally amazing.

[She's gonna start rhapsodizing any second now. She's in love with the place, and misses it so much.]

[Even if he technically doesn't need human food to survive, a guy's gotta eat at some point - so Stefan wanders in, stopping only when he notices the confused look on her face.]

What're you trying to make? I think I can help. [Even if he still doesn't quite know what all of these protein-things are, but hey, it's like one big science experiment.]

Edited 2015-06-23 00:05 (UTC)

[chie frowns at the array of pots and pans on the stove, as if willing them to do her cooking work for her.]

Well ... I thought maybe I'd try making grilled steak, but we don't have steak, and ... I don't think we have a grill, either. [nothing she's uncovered so far looks like what they use at junes, anyway.]

So I guess I'm open to suggestions.

[Stefan glances at them, before turning back towards their pantry. If she wants to make genuine food, rather than warm up the protein-gel things that he'd been eating... there's not exactly a ton of choices.]

I don't think we do, either. Hm, we could try something vegetarian. Treat the protein-gel-things as tofu, and stir-fry it with some of these dried vegetables?

[He reaches for his blood pills - not that it's labeled as such. Since he doesn't require real food to live, he hasn't exactly tested his suggestion out, but it couldn't hurt.] Sorry that we couldn't have steak tonight, but we might be able to buy some later. Jason said we could upgrade the ship, based on our ratings.

Edited (blergh grammar) 2015-06-25 02:50 (UTC)

Oh, it's OK! I know stuff's different out here. Just gotta do my best with what I've got, right? [she smiles, and sets to work clearing some of the pans she'd laid out from the counters.] I just thought it might be easy to start with something I know really well.

Exactly. [He returns the smile as he grabs some water and goes ahead and takes his pills.]

Well, what else do you know really well? We could go from there, instead of trying what I suggested.

[Since he's not eating a lot of it, he's totally open to suggestions too. Just in case, though, he also grabs water and goes ahead and swallows his pills.]

Um ... [she laugh, nervously, rubbing at her temple.] Well, I made curry once, with Yukiko. Oh, and an omelet, for Nanako-chan!

[translation: she has not cooked much of anything. at all. neither of those turned out well.]

[How does someone know how to make grilled steak and not much else? Actually, Stefan doesn't want to know the answer.]

Huh. Don't think we could make those. [Omelets would've been really easy too, had they access to real eggs.] Now that I think about it, we don't really have "firm" protein-things either.

[Guess they'll have to go with his suggestion, lest one of them thinks of anything better...]

[SHE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE GRILLED STEAK EITHER. run away. run far, far away. D:]

Right. Stir-fry it is. How hard can it be, right? [and she laughs, again a little nervously, as she sets to work sorting through the cooking implements she's laid out.] I think ... a wok would be best to use?

Not that hard, I promise. I've done it dozens of times.

[He nods, pointing the wok out specifically as he gets closer to her. Now that he's looking at the dried vegetables, though, he's starting to re-think the whole "stir-fry" idea. Soup would be a whole lot easier with those.] We should probably re-hydrate these too. Lemme go see if there's a bowl we can use.

[Bobbin sounds thoughtful, even if this is meant to be a joke.] Two letters, I think. Hi. [He waves. He can't keep the amusement out of his voice anymore. When he says his name, he sounds on the edge of laughter, even if his name isn't even meant to be part of the joke.] Bobbin Threadbare.

Two letters? [her face scrunches up as she works out what he means, finally arriving at the answer.] Oh! Ahaha, I get it. [she smiles, and returns the wave. that was pretty clever.]

Hi! Nice to meet you, Mr. Threadbare! [could be a totally normal name, for all she knows. she's from japan.]

Broiling is cooking from above, grilling is cooking from below. At least, I think it is.

Oh! OK, that makes sense. [she nods. this doesn't make any sense.]

Thanks, mister!

[ New cook, meet the old cook. Jason's passing by the kitchen in time to hear the question, and he can't help but poke his head inside. ]

With broiling you've got a dry heat source above your food, from the top of the oven... which we don't have yet... and something to catch the juices. With grilling, it's the other way around: you heat source is below your food, and if you're using the traditional metal grate, juices just go into your fire or whatever. They're both all about the high heat, and only cook one side at a time, so in most cases, you're gonna want to flip your food over to get both sides.

[ wry grin ] ...We don't have a grill, either. Sorry. I'm saving up for kitchen upgrades.

Oh! Ahaha. [she smiles.] I guess I don't have to worry about it for a while, then!

[this mess of pots and pans, though ... yikes.]
