Who: Eugene Woods
Broadcast: Video
Action: the Wonderduck
When: Tuesday Evening
[Eugene has been on a ship full of teenagers long enough - it's time he delivered on the promises to actually feed them adequately. Which is why he's now broadcasting from the galley, flour-speckled and far, far too pleased with himself. So pleased, in fact, that he'll just go ahead an monologue at the rest of the fleet.]
Some of you out there may have heard a saying, that there's no such thing as bad pizza. Now maybe you haven't heard this - say, for instance, if you come from a world that doesn't actually have pizza. But if you do, this is probably a pretty common truism. Whether you agree with it or not-? Well. That's a matter of taste.
[Pun fully intended, as the little curl of his lips and glint of his eye gives away. But he continues, because in space, there's no one to cue a laugh track.]
But in a hermetically-sealed tin can drifting through the cold vacuum of space, I think we can all agree that standards change. And in celebration of finally creating something that sort of, basically behaves like cheese . . .
[Camera pan to the oven, which he opens with a showman's flourish to reveal . . . a pizza! Basically. Sure, the cheese is a little more yellowish than usual, and the toppings are mostly diced canned meat product and mixed vegetable compound. But it's close enough for him to grin as he shuffles a hand into an oven mitt and withdraws his creation to rest on the stovetop.]
Voila. One down, and another five pies' worth of dough and cheese ready for the crews of the Wonderduck and Vanquish. Not exactly a New York slice, but hey, if anyone wants the next best thing this side of Alpha Centauri? Let's talk.

[WHAT IS THIS MAGICAL DREAM COME TRUE]
C-can you show me?

[He's cut off there by the request, and grins to himself, bemused and, more quietly, deeply pleased that someone else in the fleet is as excited about bread as he is.]
Sure. Heck, I'll give you some starter to keep on your own ship if you really want a pet blob of your own.

[She's practically bouncing. She just really loves food, okay.]
What can I bring you? Supplies, rations? Or do you like sweets? I have mochi!

[the most important question, here.]

Oh, man, favourite animal? Tiger.

[How cryptic.]
Where should I go? Wonderduck or Vanquish? Or somewhere else?

video > action
[Or, you know, whenever she finishes the mochi. Either way, eventually she'll be docking at the Wonderduck and go looking for him. Hope you're ready for a wee teenage girl invading your kitchen with a bag in tow.]
Hello! Is this pizza HQ?
action
[Eugene's hard to miss - the guy with the metal leg standing in the galley and chopping formed protein, as usual. He calls over his shoulder in lieu of taking his eyes off the knifework, which he finishes in a few determined thunks of steel on wood before turning.]
Eugene Woods. [He wipes his hands off on the towel at his hip before offering one in greeting.] Nice to meet you.
action
Uraraka Ochako. It's a pleasure! What are you working on?
action
Right now? I'm still tweaking a fake sausage recipe. The good part is that sausage is supposed to taste like a little bit of everything, but the texture is giving me some trouble.
action
All the textures in the food here are kind of weird, aren't they?
action
action
[She rifles through her bag and emerges with a little container, offering it out to him. Inside is a handful of tiger-decorated mochi.]
Ta-dah!
action
[He accepts the container, pleased if a little tongue-tied. Even if he manages to make food that tastes good, he's never made anything nearly this cute.]
Wow. Thank you. They look so good I almost don't want to eat them.
action
No way, you have to eat them! It would be a huge waste not to. Anyway, food that looks cute always tastes better!
