Tourist May I?

[takingkarabusiness]

Who: Tourists & visitors!
Broadcast: n/a
Action: The Tourist
When: the month of May!

[ Don't mind the smoke alarm going off in the kitchen. Or the woman frantically pulling a cupcake tin out of the smokey oven. Or the fact that she's doing it with bare hands. Don't mind any of it.





[ Or perhaps you're mingling on the ship at a different time and you miss this baking disaster altogether ]

Ugh! Why can't I get this right?

Kara's Cooking Disaster

[universal_charm]

_{[ Smoke alarms? Kitchens? Potential fires? Nope nope nope, he's definitely making a beeline for that. Fires plus ships equal bad news, even tin can ones like this. So Kirk practically skidded into the kitchen, looking around and coughing as he inhaled a bit of smoke. ]}

Kara? Kara is everything okay?

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she's beating the air with a towel to clear the smoke. Nothing's on fire, Captain, but the cupcakes are toast ]

It's fine! It's fine. Everything is under control!

[universal_charm]

_{[ That's questionable Kara. He coughs and grabs a chair to stand on and press the button to reset the smoke alarm. ]}

What were you even trying to make?

[takingkarabusiness]

Cupcakes.

[ there's a lot of defeat in her voice ]

Turns out I might not be super at everything.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He chuckled at that. ]}

That's comforting, actually.

_{[ He came over to inspect said cupcakes, coughing and wiping his eyes. ]}

Right - what temperature did you have these at? Don't tell me you tried to bake them with your laser vision.

[takingkarabusiness]

Of course not! I follow the rules, Jim. You asked me not to do heat vision on the ship, I don't do heat vision on the ship.

And as for temperature? I'm going to say too high.

[universal_charm]

Cupcakes probably only need about 375 or so. Uh, what did you put in the batter?

_{[ He squat down in front of the oven to inspect her settings. ]}

[takingkarabusiness]

We don't really have to troubleshoot this. I think I'm going to call it a day.

Except, are you saying you know how to make cupcakes?

[universal_charm]

I may or may not have learned in order to impress a girl on her birthday when I was a teen.

[takingkarabusiness]

Did it work?

[universal_charm]

Not that time, no, but everyone ate those cupcakes. Or I'm pretty sure they did. It might have been partially the dog too.

[takingkarabusiness]

Clearly that's where I went wrong. I wasn't trying to impress any girls.

[universal_charm]

Well, sugar and spice and everything nice as they say.

Do you want me to show you how to make some...?

[takingkarabusiness]

If by "show" you mean "make some for me" then yes, absolutely.

[universal_charm]

Im sure you'd get the hang of it. It's just science that tastes good.

_{[ But he's motioning for her to start cleaning up her fiasco so he can pull out ingredients and a new mixing bowl. ]}

Baking disaster woot

[wolfuncaged]

[Fenris sure is rushing into the kitchen at the sound of the alarms going off. Just in case there's...well, an actual fire. Not that he really knows what to do with an actual fire. Fight it???. But he feels it's probably part of his job description to check.

When he sees the kitchen is not, in fact, on fire, he relaxes a little.]

...I am going to assume they aren't supposed to look that way.

[Baking]
[Guess who came to visit just in time for this?]

Babe? Are you in here? [Following the smell of burning to the kitchen.]

[Everything else!]
[Tourist, it's your regular visitor from the planet of Daxam! Mon-El isn't always attached to Kara when he's on your fair ship. You might find him in the kitchen having a snack or playing some pinball in the cargo bay (you're welcome for those additional funds) or singing in the shower. You know, regular stuff.]

[takingkarabusiness]

It's fine! I'm fine! Everything's fine!

[ she's in here all right, trying to wave the smoke away from the smoke detector ]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she makes quick work of the cleanup ]

I was definitely not a science major. You're looking for my sister.

Who can't bake either.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she resets the smoke detector ]

Preferably not, no. Cupcakes aren't supposed to be burnt.

[spacebro]

Did you and the oven get into a fight? [Coming in closer to see if he can help.]

[takingkarabusiness]

It clearly isn't working right.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He chuckled, getting out the ingredients to work up the batter. It was like making pancakes, with slightly different ingredients and amounts. ]}

You know, if all else fails, you can just use the mix that comes in a box.

[takingkarabusiness]

That would be admitting defeat.

[universal_charm]

Everyone has to start somewhere, Kara. Baby steps.
