Someone needs to explain fried chicken to me.

[. . . no, that appears to be the lead-in to this video. Caesar looks a little offended, and he kind of is; this has actually been explained to him, but there are, in his opinion, a hundred better things you could do with a chicken than fry it. Sacrilegious. No one ever take him to an Olive Garden.]

It seems like a good way to dry the chicken out if you're not careful. And frying is so unhealthy. [Why not dunk it in alfredo sauce instead.]

Also, what the hell is coleslaw.

Also, I do need help with some baking. A cake.

[What was the other thing. Oh, yes.]

Joseph Joestar's birthday is this Sunday. He's been forbidden from talking about it, so I encourage everyone to talk to him about it as much as possible.

[What a good friend.]

action } sunday, september 27

[On Sunday, because he is a good friend, an absolute shit-ton of food appears; because he holds the sanctity and cleanliness of his ship to be pretty sacred, it appears in the Caprine's cargo bay. Decorations are hit-or-miss, in part because that's not really his strong suit and in part because he's pretty sure Joseph won't actually care. There's food.]

[Although there are other things too, past the small mountain of non-nutritional-paste foodstuffs. Music, for one thing, although it's a strange mishmash of things that sounded familiar to a 1930s ear, things that didn't totally offend him, and things that other people contributed. About halfway through the afternoon, something roughly analogous to hip-hop crackles across the speakers, startling everyone, if by everyone you mean probably just Caesar.]

[It's a party, y'all. Have fun. Don't let Joseph eat all the fried chicken.]


( ooc; OBVIOUSLY THIS POST WAS SUPPOSED TO GO UP SOONER, but due to Reasons it did not. if you don't mind, please keep birthday mingle stuff under the toplevel i put up for it - otherwise go nuts and have fun! ♥ )

I think "I told you so" is probably your very favorite thing to say, Ino.

[ino]

[ She just laughs ]

Hehe ...

So? You must be super happy then! Don't be so huffy about it!

[mylegacy]

I am happy, I just--

[He glances sideways at nothing very much.]

Don't . . . start asking a thousand questions now that you know. I don't want it to be like that.

[ino]

Eh?

[ ... Oh. He's easily embarrassed. That's what she's getting out of this ]

Oh, you mean like a TMI sort of thing? I don't need to know all that, I just wanted to make sure it worked out all right!

[mylegacy]

[Pretty much just about this. This one particular thing, he doesn't want to share. That's all.]

[He looks at her warily for a second, then nods.]

It worked out all right.

. . . Thank you. I think. For being so annoying about it.

[ino]

[ She grins ]

If there's anything I'm good at, it's being super persistent when I'm right!

[mylegacy]

So all the time, then.

[Whoops, who said that???]

[ino]

[ Kyaa, Caesar, you can't just go using all these compliments on her, it's Super Effective ]

Well, lately I seem to be having a good streak, anyways.

[mylegacy]

[Nope, sorry. He's going to stop being anxious for at least five minutes to be nice to you.]

It's a good thing I got here when I did, then.

[He fishes in the cabinet for a moment, comes out with a small bowl and a smaller pot, which he fills with water and puts over the stove.]

[ino]

[ She lets out a gentle, quiet laugh ]

Yeah, it probably is.

[ Most of the people she knows now would have probably hated her if they'd met her when she'd first arrived in Paradisa all those years ago ... ]

I guess sometimes these things [ She makes a vague gesture at the ceiling ] can do something right.

[mylegacy]

[You never know, Ino. It's not like Caesar has friend standards or anything.]

[He is also very quietly thinking It's a lot better than being dead but that would be a massively dickish thing to say, so he doesn't.]

I'm glad I met you, anyway.

[ino]

[ She looks a little surprised for a moment ...

And then she looks down, a small smile on her face ]

I can see why Jojo was all worried about you flirting with girls.

[ Look she's trying to say she's glad she met him too but it's hard to be direct about feelings when he's probably gonna up and leave sooner or later. So she'll just tease him instead! ]

[mylegacy]

[This is fine with him, frankly. Feelings are incredibly difficult. He smirks and pours baking chocolate into the bowl as the water heats up.]

He's so stupid. Worrying so much the rest of the time and not even paying attention . . .

Anyway, I maintain you'd know if I was.

[ino]

[ She smirks a little ]

Boys can be pretty oblivious, you know. [ She says, as though Caesar is not also a boy. ] I kissed my boyfriend right on the mouth and he still didn't realize I liked him.

[mylegacy]

[.......]

[...................]

[slowly]

[lowers]

[bowl]

What?

[ino]

[ ... ]

What?

[ What part are you "what"-ing at Caesar ]

[mylegacy]

I don't understand how that's a confusing gesture, Ino.

[IS YOUR BOYFRIEND AN IDIOT?]

[ino]

Well, are you saying "what" to boys being oblivious? Or "what" to my boyfriend being extra oblivious?

[mylegacy]

Not the first thing.

[He's learning a lot about boys, okay.]

I'm saying "what" to how someone can be kissed on the mouth and not comprehend romantic interest.

[ino]

Oh. Yeah ...

[ She rubs the back of her head, a little embarrassed ]

I don't really know what he was thinking, but then he got kidnapped by my -- like, not-really-uncle, because he was worried I was dating someone shitty again, and then I told him I liked him and he seemed really surprised about it.

[ Ino stop making this even more confusing ]

[mylegacy]

[The-- but-- he--]

[Squints.]

. . . Is he shitty?

[ino]

No!

No, he's not. He's really sweet. I just ... have dated some guys before that weren't exactly ... [ How the fuck does she put "I dated a guy who tried to cut off my arms" nicely ] ... They just weren't really a good idea in retrospect.

[mylegacy]

[Hm. Hm hm hm.]

[He looks at her evenly for a minute, and you could actually believe, looking at him right now, that he could probably kill a person with his bare hands if they fucked with one of his people.]

[Then it's gone, and he's back to baking a chocolate cake.]

Well. That happens.

Are any of them still here?

[]

[ino]

[ SHE DID SEE THAT AND SHE'S. Honestly not all that surprised nor is this a new thing for her. Whoops. ]

Uh ... no. This was all at ... the other place. I was in a place like this for a long time before I came to the fleet.

[mylegacy]

That's good.

[He would hate to have to get blood on his pants today. Clink goes the bowl over the pot, hey presto, a double boiler.]

Hm. Hand me a spatula. Is he . . . I'm sorry, I'm still confused. Maybe I should just accept it.

[Accept what, Caesar? That not everyone is a HUGE SLUT? This is real life.]

You're right. It was much easier with women. Men are idiots.
