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 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.

[ino]

[ She hands him a spatula ]

I kind of got the impression that he thought he was too boring for me to actually, you know, like-like him. And Crowley didn't exactly help with that.

[ A little laugh at his last comment ]

But yeah, I thought it was pretty obvious.

[mylegacy]

[Looming watchfully over the chocolate lest it burn:]

It was never actually my problem before.

What does boring have to do with it?

[ino]

[ She shrugs ]

I didn't really get it either. He doesn't really have a whole lot of dating experience, though, so I guess he was probably just confused.

[mylegacy]

Oh.

[Well. That makes more sense, then.]

. . . Stop confusing boys, Ino.

[ino]

[ She laughs at that ]

But that's my specialty!

[mylegacy]

I thought your specialty was being right all the time.

[ino]

Oh, well -- that too. Can't I have both?

[mylegacy]

I think you can only have one specialty.

[ino]

But it's so hard to choose.

[ Dramatic whine is a go. ]

[mylegacy]

Well, pick what you're best at, bellina.

[ino]

"Bellina"? What is that?

[ Also, she should probably be ... helping. She looks for the frosting ingredients to start putting what she can of that together. ]

[mylegacy]

[He gestures kind of vaguely at the powdered sugar while he stirs.]

It's just a nickname. Like . . . [He thinks.] Like sweetheart, a little, but it means pretty, too. Your name is hard to work with, you know.

. . . Is that all right?

[ino]

[ Ah, there we go. Puttin' that shit together. ]

Eh? Of course. It's cute!

[ As long as it's not "Pig", she's cool with the nicknames. In fact, it reminds her a little bit of Sai ... ]

It's a word in Italian, right? I guess the chip doesn't translate that one.

[mylegacy]

Sort of a word. It's . . . bella is beautiful, but if you add ina or ino to something, it's "little". Just an endearment.

[Like, for example, Caesarino. But anyway.]

It's like your name is trying deliberately to irritate me. Inoina. It doesn't work. So bellina instead.

[ino]

[ She's laughing ]

Well, I was named after my dad. It's not really a "feminine" name, strictly speaking.

[ She likes Bellina, but she's curious ... ]

What about my family name? Can you do that one? It's Yamanaka.

[ "Do that one", like he's doing a magic trick or something ... ]

[mylegacy]

[He makes sort of a face, thinking about this.]

Yamanakina?

[God that's long. He looks at her questioningly.]
