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?"

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.

"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."

"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."

"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.

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..."

"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.

"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.

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."

"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?"

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).

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.
