The Way to a Blue Fish's Heart...

Who: Blue Fish crew and visitors
Broadcast: Maybe some accidental, but not overall
Action: The Blue Fish kitchen
When: All Day, Feb. 7


[It had been a rough month for a lot of the Blue Fish crew. From blenders to family members and lost friends and blocked credits, they'd been soldiering on through a lot. And while Jilly was new enough to have skirted by most of the drama, she was keenly aware of the underlying stress of her crewmates. She wants to help.

Sometimes, though, words aren't enough...and so she sets about taking advantage of her augment to the best of her ability. For the past month she's been collecting recipes from the datary and experimenting with the supplies provided by the Atroma. And, in the days leading up to the 7th, she quietly recruits Beverly for a pair of extra hands with some Station grocery shopping and behind-the-scenes planning.

It's not announced, but on such a small ship it's hard to miss that something is going on that day. Forgoing her usual trip to the Station for job hunting and people watching, Jilly gets up extra early and sets the kitchen in motion. Recipes are taped up on the cabinets, ingredients are gathered, and so begins a marathon of food.]


[Between the combined forces of Jilly and Beverly, the two "cooks" for the Blue Fish will be setting out food all day as a bit of a much needed holiday for their crew (and any visitors who stop by). Volunteer as a taste-tester, grab food on the run, help clean dishes between baking bouts, or simply sit and relax with your crew mates. Food therapy is a go.]

[His face will light up with his own smile as he sees Clay. He'll lift up some of the plates and move the around so Clay will have room to sit next to him]

Because...you know you you're dating?

Hmm... Yeah, sounds legit.

[Once Clay reaches him, he leans down a bit to kiss his cheek, then goes ahead and sits down next to him, the sides of their legs touching together.]

So what brought this whole thing on?

[he gives a little laugh. When Clay's sitting, he moves his leg around Clay's so their ankles intertwine- since you know, he needs his hands to eat]

Well, with everything going on- Jilly thought we needed something to cheer us up. So- food!
geonomy: (☆ hope is a four-letter word)

[personal profile] geonomy 2016-02-12 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
And food's definitely the way to cheer up a Blue Fish. [He gives Allen's shoulder a little nudge with his own] You're already looking a lot happier!
save_the_souls: (you can come with me)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2016-02-12 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Well the food is really good! [SO MUCH OF IT, SO DELICIOUS] And you're here too!

[So that helps!]

Besides, it's good to see my crew looking in better spirits than they have in awhile.
geonomy: (☆ it's been calling out to me)

[personal profile] geonomy 2016-02-12 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, yeah, I can imagine. With everything that's happened in the past month...

[Blendergate. Azula.]

Well, I'm glad to see everyone looking better, too. You guys really needed something like this!
save_the_souls: (with all my loving)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2016-02-12 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it feels like we've had a bit of a bad luck streak...

But at least we have a great cook again!
geonomy: (☆ make a guy go oooh)

[personal profile] geonomy 2016-02-13 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! And that means I won't have to keep sending my cooks over to you!

[Not that he minded, but hey, it was funny.]
save_the_souls: (eheheh yeah I sorta...stabbed a guy)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2016-02-13 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
I guess not. But I think your cooks are starting to get attached to us...Al and Eugene are always offering to give us more food!

Al isn't even a cook. And hey, maybe they've got plenty of leftovers! We get a lot of that.

[You know, what with them having three cooks on a ship where two of the crewmembers don't even eat.]

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2016-02-14 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
So? He learned how to skin animals and prep meat just to help out the cooks - I'd say that counts!

[he grins] Right! And the Blue Fish is there to make sure those leftovers don't go to waste.
geonomy: (☆ cause now i'm shining bright)

[personal profile] geonomy 2016-02-15 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, yeah, you got a point there. [See him puffing up a bit like a proud papa? Yep, because that's a thing.]

Any leftovers we have can go to the Blue Fish, then. I'll make it a rule. Captain's orders. That sort of thing.

[He holds up his fork as he says it as if to look more official; he jokes, because hey, some other ship out there might need food, and his crewmates might be partial to another ship.]

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2016-02-16 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
[He laughs] Excellent decree, I approve!

[Yeah, he knows it's not truly serious. Because hey, food matters out here- for everyone. Well. Everyone except Pearl anyway]
