Who: The Staff at The Space Bar
Broadcast: No
Action: Kitchen in the Space Bar
When: Today

When Remy left the fleet it left Vash alone minding the kitchen of The Space Bar. Luckily there was Jarvis who was joining him on the roster and Stefan was helping out while he got settled into the role. Of course there was the rest of the bar staff as well who would be able to lend a hand!

For today Vash was having both Jarvis and Stefan over at the same time to show them around the kitchen and where everything is. The problem? Vash is having a bit of fun showing off what he already knows of the kitchen that he's forgotten someone's order as it cooked.

A little grease fire growing rapidly out of control is normal and fine in a kitchen, right?

"Huh, do you two smell something burning?"

"And a new fire extinguisher," Stefan notes quietly, unable to look Nami in the eye.

If this was an actual fire safety test, he would've failed. It's just as well, really, that one sprinkler decides to turn on and douse him from head to toe. He sputters, closing his eyes as he lets the water rinse off his fear, and more frankly, whatever remains of his dignity.

Oh. Crap. There was much less shrieking compared to Meryl's "I'm extremely disappointed" voice but Vash still knows when he's in trouble.

"Oh! Nami!" Vash laughs and side steps as if his body could block the mess of the oven and smoke behind him. "Didn't know you were in today!" Lies. "But no need to worry boss! Everything is under control now! You'll be glad to hear that Jarvis is really going to be an asset here and Stefan too while he's helping out!"

His nervous laughter goes from annoyingly loud to slowly trailing off. "I'll ah, I'll make sure this get cleaned up right away." He gives Stefan a quick pitiful look as the sprinkler comes on. "...and mopped up."

Is he fired? He wasn't sure he even wanted a job at first and now he's actually a bit nervous about losing one.

Nami's quiet a long moment with the most lineface of linefaces, taking in the amount of damage, Stefan's dripping misery, and the other two doing their best to look innocent. Her eyebrow ticks up as Vash babbles, lips getting thinner by the moment.

.......

[namisan]

And then suddenly, the most cheerful of smiles.

"All right, first things first." You can practically hear the sparkles. "Is anyone hurt?"

[edwinjarvis]

Jarvis looks left to one dejected man, right to the other dejected man.

And is quite casual himself on the matter; nobody is dead, and the ship didn't burn. Just a small wound on the side of his palm really. His fault for getting to close with the towel. Silly him.

"Oh! I'm quite alright. Just a burn -- it will heal with time and patience. Is everyone else alright?"

[stefanged]

A burn?

“Let me look at it.” Stefan steps out of the sprinkler's path, like the medic he's supposed to be, and brings out the burn cream he'd acquired. Forget his pride: someone got injured, and on his first day too no less. “We'll just rub this on - might be too late, but better now than never.”

While he's hastily opening the tube and trying to pinpoint where the burn might be, he remembers, “Oh, right. I'm fine. No bruises here.”

[goldenglasses]

Great. He was suppose to introduce these two to the kitchen and make sure they were comfortable working here. No one was burned, the other was wet, and the kitchen was a mess. This was going just great as per his usual luck.

"Oh man, you got burned? I'm sorry." Vash rubs at his neck with a sigh. This really was a big mess.

"I'm fine as well." Even with trying to put the fire out with a metal pot cover he wasn't burned at all. His leather glove may look a bit singed, but he's fine. "It won't happen again. I'm glad it's not a bad burn at least."

[namisan]

It's a good change in attitude for Vash to have, honestly. Hysterical cheerfulness she has a tendency to slap down, but that appears to be genuine regret. So. Explosion averted. Her eyes narrow a little at the news that Jarvis got burned, but Stefan has it in hand.

"All right." The glacial cheerfulness is gone, and she just huffs. "New extinguisher, check. Vash? Fixing this is coming out of your paycheck." Just saying. Unless you want to point the finger at someone else. "Stefan, you need anything else for that burn?"

Jarvis-- well, she leaves you out for now. Beyond mentally agreeing that hey yeah, fire safety is a good call. She just didn't think it was warranted until now.

[edwinjarvis]

Jarvis waves his un-burned hand at Stefan, and then at Vash, trying to soothe the guilt.

"It's alright, really. I'm hardly scathed."

It's a burn on the side of his hand, and it's not particularly pretty, but it's not gonna cause any permanent damage. Just your typical freak-kitchen accident burn! He clears his throat and lets Stefan handle his hand, though. It feels weird to be the one getting first aid, when usually he's the one giving it. He sighs softly.

"It was just an unfortunate accident; I'm sure we've all learned from this."

Chin up, lads. Everything's good.

[stefanged]

"Ah, no - he needs time and maybe some bandaging later, once he returns to his ship."

Stefan doesn't trust his wet hands with bandages. That would be something left to another medic, and hopefully one who wasn't sopping wet. (Even his hair's fallen back into its natural shape, rather than the gelled look he prefers.)

"I'm still really sorry. It shouldn't take long to heal."

[goldenglasses]

"A person on my ship can heal with magic. I can ask him to take a look if you'd like." He's pretty sure Anders wouldn't mind. Would be more upset in fact if he didn't offer.

Vash just sighs at the punishment to his pay check. It means he's still got a job and may not be in too much trouble. "I guess that's fair. Luckily I think it was put out before the fire did too much damage."

[namisan]

"If it's not that bad, it can be dealt with right here." Nami isn't wet and she does have medical training, so she moves into the kitchen properly from the doorway, going to the first aid kit in the back corner. "Let the magical types save it for when it's really needed."

C'mere, Jarvis. She'll finish the job.

[edwinjarvis]

Oh -- oh! Oh, alright then. He's swift to listen and step toward, offering her the hand in question.

"Water under the bridge, gentlemen." And on Stefan. Look at you, you poor thing. "Just make sure the equipment can function in time for more work, and everything will be fine. I recommend you go fetch a change of clothes, Mr. Salvatore..."

[stefanged]

"Thanks, Nami." Stefan doesn't even trust himself with wringing out his clothes here - he's standing in a puddle as it is. He doesn't want to add to the mess.

"I've got them back at the Interfaith Center." He pauses. Technically, he's still on the clock, but... "Permission to take a break and get said change of clothes?"

And a hot shower while he's at it. Just in case.

[goldenglasses]

"What? Of course you can take time off to get changed." Vash is amused Stefan even asked as he's also assuming Nami would give the same answer.

And if she doesn't? Hell, she can take more from his paycheck.

"I'm just going to start cleaning this place up." True to his word, out comes a mop as he starts to take care of the water.

[namisan]

Nami hesitates, but only because she considers offering to dry him out here and now. But he'd probably prefer being able to take a break, so she grins after a moment, wrapping Jarvis' burn with steady hands.

"Go ahead. Take your time." He's only doing her a favour, after all. "I'm sure they can manage without you for a bit."

Also, she gives Vash a gentle kick in the ankle as he passes. "Stop looking like the world's going to end."

[edwinjarvis]

"Yes, you'll sully the taste of the food with that moping cloud," Jarvis adds (because he is a sass machine). More kindly, he continues, "I'll help with the clean-up after this. How does it look, Miss Nami? Will I make it?"

[stefanged]

Stefan breathes a huge sigh of relief. Good, good - he's not sure if vampires can catch colds, but he sure doesn't want to find out.

"Thank you. I'll be back shortly."

Noticeably? This time? He doesn't even try using his speed as he walks out, because he knows that he'll just slip and slide (and probably create an even bigger mess).

[goldenglasses]

Now that it's very clear that Jarvis isn't too badly hurt Vash lets the smile come back to his face. It really wasn't going to be gone long anyway.

"Well, I'm just glad no one was seriously hurt in the end."

He moves back and forth to clean up the slipping hazard first and once the floor is mopped of most of the water he'll move onto the stove itself.
