Who: yu narukami
Broadcast: ss wonderduck!
Action: also ss wonderduck!
When: i meant to do this a couple of days ago but work got in the way of fun things so let's backdate this to … 7/3. yeah.

( someone's in the kitchen with diiinah … someone's in the kitchen i knooow.

he's been assigned to his ship long enough that he feels confident in putting himself to good use – and wouldn't you know it, the kitchen is the first place he makes a real stop. he's been known to cook with sparse ingredients, and nothing could have come out worse than chie and yukiko's mystery food x during the school camping trip, so! he's going to see what he can do here.

maybe he'll even come up with something tasty enough to earn him a reputation. or something.

he moseys around for a little while on his own, figuring out what he has to work with – dried fish strips? what in the world can he make with those? – and it's not until he prepares a few experimental dishes that he opens up a voice broadcast to the other members of the crew, inviting them to come test this stuff out.

except he has to fiddle with his device for a second before he gets a good handle on it. the last time he'd spoken to anyone on this thing, it had been adachi, and he hadn't exactly been focused on figuring it out. )

… Am I doing this right? Okay –

( throat clearing! )

Hey everyone, Yu Narukami here. I was transferred here a bit ago, and I don't think I've managed to meet all of you just yet. ( whoops. ) Anyway, I thought I'd check out the kitchen and see what I could contribute, and I've put together a few dishes if anyone is feeling hungry – or adventurous – enough to stop by.

( there's a pause, and then: ) Also, if anyone has something they'd like me to try to make for them, just ask.

( and that's it! come by, have a chat, try something he's made … everything is up in the air! )

Whoa, we got a cook? Grea-

- Wait. What do you mean by adventurous? [Is this guy going to poison them........]

video;

[tayori]

( he looks directly into his device with a very serious expression. )

Well, I never know what people are going to like until I put new things together and get feedback.

( he's too good of a cook to possibly poison someone on accident. now, on purpose ...

nahhh, that would never happen, either.

jk, jk. )

Re: video;

[wilder]

Oh?

So you mean just being adventurous about taste? Not about whether or not we'll get poisoned?

[Sounds very much like someone's who's suffered at the hands of someone with Yukiko's level of cooking skill before]

[tayori]

( you poor thing.

he feels for you. he really does.

no one should ever have that sort of thing inflicted on them.

he gives a small, friendly laugh, though. )

I haven't poisoned anyone with my cooking yet, so I really don't think that's going to be an issue.

[wilder]

[ No. no one ever should. Not even the worse of people ]

Yeah? Well then good! I'll try out your stuff then, we haven't had a cook in a long time.

[tayori]

( he proceeds to motion idly to the dishes he's already prepared; they don't look questionable by any means, because he's always prided himself in the aesthetic of preparing food he ends up serving to others, and thus there is an array of things that both look and smell appetizing.

even if the most he has to work with at the moment are dried vegetables, potato flakes and fish sticks.

and then there's that protein stuff. )

You haven't? How have you guys been feeding yourselves?

( that is not a jab at the thought that you can't cook well enough to sustain yourselves. he's just genuinely curious! )

[wilder]

[He seems to think about that, putting his hand on his chin and everything]

Hmm...I think it was with a mixture of proteins and space rats...?

[He may be lying his ass off]

[tayori]

( and here he goes, almost choking on his own tongue.

that's as much of a reaction as anyone has managed to get out of him yet. ( at least anyone that isn't named yosuke. but. y'know. )

good job. )

Space rats!?

[wilder]

Yes.

Our last captain insisted they were good protein. [no, she absolutely did not do that]

[tayori]

( there's a very small pause, and then his eyes narrow the tiniest bit. )

I don't believe that.

[thebarkside]

[ and jade will just... show up, because answering via the communicator seems a little silly to her when she's just down the hall. she waves from the doorway, not wanting to step through until she's sure that the offer is still open. ]

Hey! Welcome to the Wonderduck, I think? How's the cooking going?

[tayori]

( it makes much more sense to simply show up if you're in the area -- and since jade is the first to take him up on the offer, when she pops in, she gets a bit of a smile. )

You think? ( snrk. ) All right, so far. They don't really give you much to work with in here, do they?

[thebarkside]

Well, I mean, we have been kidnapped to a bunch of space ships where our every move is ostensibly being watched by some giant audience, sooo... yep! Welcome, I think.

[ she steps into the kitchen, though, grinning lopsidedly. ]

But nuh uh, it's all pretty gross, isn't it?

[tayori]

I still don't understand that. ( the being watched thing, naturally. it's like big brother in space. :| ) We can't be so interesting that someone would want to watch us run around like mice in a cage.

( okay, so being on different ships and things doesn't exactly equate the caged-in feeling of mice, but he likes to think it's a good enough metaphor that it'll get his point across. )

That's ... one word for it, yeah. ( he gives a tiny little laugh. ) But I'm going to do what I can with it, and hopefully I'll end up making something everyone will like.

[thebarkside]

Well... I can grow things. Um, if I have dirt. Fresh veggies and stuff like that, if you ever want something not hanging out on one of the shelves here.

[ she'll move to take a seat as out of the way as possible, dragging her legs into the chair with her as she does. ]

[idealistic]

[ Lloyd had the same idea as Jade, in that it'd be kind of pointless to talk to someone over the communicator when they're in a public area of the ship, so instead he'll be peeking into the kitchen.

ok lbr he just smelled something good ]

Hey! Heard we got a new cook?

[tayori]

( come one, come all. it's the cooking with narukami hour, and you're just in time to try some of his new dishes!

he's glad that you smelled something good, lloyd. and that it was enough to bring you to the kitchen. he looks up from the pot he's currently stirring and offers up a small smile. )

That would be me, I guess. Hi.

[idealistic]

[ let's be honest here, if it was anything besides what the Professor usually cooks, he'll come running regardless. provided none of it has tomatoes in it, of course.

he shoots Yu a grin right back. ]

Hiya! [ he enters the kitchen properly, looking over the samples with excitement. ] Man, it's been a while since I've seen this much food out at once. You cooked all this?

[ he was so sure there weren't any fresh ingredients left. ]

[tayori]

( there aren't any tomatoes in anything he's made. he doesn't much care for them himself, and the more he gets to know his crew, the more he'll be able to cater to their personal tastes.

he nods at the question, turning his attention briefly back to a pot he's stirring. everything smells pretty darn good, truth be told, and lloyd is more than welcome to dig into anything he likes right off the bat. )

Mhm. I cooked a lot at home, so I figured it would be a good way to make myself useful here. ( he pauses his stirring again, make a dismissive sort of gesture toward the things he's already prepared, an invitation to start giving some feedback. )

There isn't a lot to work with here, but I've always been creative. ( that's putting it mildly, but no one's complained about his cooking yet! ^^ )

[feathery]

Wait, you can actually cook using these fucking gelatinous blobs?

audio;

[tayori]

I'm ... ( er. ) doing what I can with what I have at my disposal.

( which means he hasn't exactly touched the gelatinous stuff yet, but ... he'll get there. )

audio;

[feathery]

Ok, this I gotta see. At least whatever you've got at your disposal, because let me tell you how fucking sick I am of chicken jelly every other meal.

[If there's one thing about the fleet that is absolutely intolerable (besides the lack of internet), it's the food.]

audio;

[tayori]

That just sounds disgusting. ( and he's had experience with disgusting food. SORRY YUKIKO AND CHIE. YOU TRIED, AT LEAST.

just. don't ever try again. please. )

I can promise that, so far, there is no jelly in anything I've made.

( is that reassuring enough? he hopes so. )

audio;

[feathery]

[OH GLORY HALLELUJAH.]

Fuck yes. You may have just earned your rank as favorite crewmate. [Sorry, Jade.] Hang on a minute.

[And, a couple minutes later, Davesprite will literally phase the top half of his torso through the kitchen wall. Door? One of those options. He's a lot less orange than his icons might suggest; in fact, with only his shoulders up visible, he looks near indistinguishable from his alt timeline counterpart, Dave Strider. Just a totally normal kid with blond hair. And. Sunglasses. Indoor sunglasses.]

Hey. [He chills there for a second, just taking in the kitchen.]
