006 - And now we present Sokka in an act of desperation

[alwayscomeback]

Who: Sokka and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Blue Fish
When: 11th

[The feed turns on to Sokka looking exceptionally miserable, the Blue Fish's kitchen as his backdrop. He turns to wave a hand at the empty kitchen, because this is an important part to his point.]

Do you see that, Flooters? Do you know what that is? That is a kitchen devoid of a cook, which is just about the saddest thing in the universe. Even sadder than a turtleduck with one leg. It's that sad.

SO! Does any cook here want to help out the Blue Fish? We have every single upgrade at your disposal if you want to come cook for us! We even have frozen meat and fish, hunted fresh by your handsome captain here.

[He's turning on the puppy eyes. Don't stare too much into them, they'll steal your soul.]

Please. We might die. Pleeeeeaaaaaase feed us.

[There's a big, shit-eating grin on his face before he turns, addressing his crew more than anything, but making sure Blue Fish can hear him too.]

Well, Vanquish crew, what do you think? Should we let our two awesome cooks help them out a little bit?

[stickupherforehead]

...Isn't the paste already edible?

[Pearl isn't even looking up from whatever she's doing, but it doesn't take much effort to be an Insensitive Alien who doesn't need to eat.]

[geonomy]

You'd think, right? [EXAGGERATED EYEROLL]

[save_the_souls]

We're breaking up.

[It's not at all serious BUT RUDE CLAY. RUDE]

[stickupherforehead]

[she was about to respond when Allen speaks up.

Blink.] Well, that was a quick relationship.

[and she just found out about it too.]

[geonomy]

Pearl. My heart. It's broken now.

[He says as he leans back in his chair with both hands over his heart. The huge smile on his face is totally contrasting all of that, though.]

You know, you can really go off a person.

[geonomy]

[LAUGHING OMG]

Don't worry, we'll help you out! Anything we need to know? I know Allen's a vegetarian.

[alwayscomeback]

You toy with our emotions so. Such cruelty.

[At least he's smirking. It's funny.]

Nope, Allen's the only vegetarian here, the rest of us will eat just about anything.

[alwayscomeback]

Okay. But you're missing the point.

The paste is gross. And not real food.

[stickupherforehead]

Doesn't food turn into mush inside your bodies anyway? So really, they're saving you a step.

[alwayscomeback]

OH WOW.

NO.

Part of enjoying food is the taste and texture. To enjoy every single mouthful. All the smells and deliciousness combining into something magical. Have you ever had a really good steak?

[stickupherforehead]

[as Sokka talks, Pearl wraps her arms around herself and shivers, trying not to think of all the mastication and slobber that goes into every. Single. Mouthful.]

No I have not and I have no wish to partake in such an activity. Again. [there's another shudder at the mere thought of it]

[techknowlogical]

[Koushirou actually looks up from the control panel, amazingly enough.]

Perhaps one of them would be willing to teach someone aboard the Blue Fish some basic cooking skills, at least.

[Because if they have ingredients like frozen fish it's really not that hard.]

[stickupherforehead]

Exactly.

[nope, Pearl is still elbow deep in the guts of some machine] It's really not that hard to follow a recipe.

[geonomy]

[Clay, meanwhile, is just slowly spinning in his chair like a good captain/pilot.]

Maybe we should write down some recipes for them? That'll surely help!

[dancingmd]

[Siiiiiigh.]

One of us knows how to cook already. The problem isn't that I can't cook, the problem is that I don't have the time to do so for everyone.

Sure. [Listen, food is Very Important, okay?] But they need ta bring some of their rations over ta supplement what we've got. Prep's only gonna stretch what we've got so far.

...an' it might be a nice gesture of appreciation if we had access of some of those supplies for ourselves as well.

[SHE'S JUST SAYING. Because EVERY UPGRADE means coffee. C'mon, Eugene, you've got her back on this, right?]

video;

[geonomy]

Some of those supplies meaning mostly coffee, right?

[Clay tilts his head back over the chair to look upside down at her with a grin. Yes, he knows her ways, and Eugene's ways too, even though he's not a coffee drinker himself.]

video;

[touchofrogue]

Could do with some of that fresh meat too...

[But yes. Mostly coffee. Her stash is nearly gone, though she's stocking up what she can from the planet.

What. Stop that, Captain, she is the most innocent here. See the halo?]

video;

[geonomy]

Mmm, meat. Yes. Meat is a good trade too.

[He brings his head back down to nod in approval. Not much coffee for him, yes, but meat? Yesssss.]

[touchofrogue]

[Rogue rolls her eyes.]

Yeah, thought you'd like that idea, Captain.

[Honestly, she'd try to get him to drink coffee, except they were in such short supply...]

[alwayscomeback]

[Look, he's making the fingers across his chest gesture. ]

I absolutely promise you guys can have some of our supplies.

video;

[touchofrogue]

Coffee, meat, an' veggies, mostly.

[Just putting the order right in. Okay? Okay.

Listen. Food is Very Important, and Rogue gets that. So she doesn't mind driving a bargain for the food she also hopes to receive. Coffeeeeeeeeee.]

[alwayscomeback]

You got a deal. We can spare all those things. Heck, you can have my share of coffee. I'm not allowed it, apparently.
