A. (Back dated to just after leaving the snow planet)

[Velvet spent most of her time in the most recent system collecting food stuff. She did some hunting and some fishing as well as buying various necessities.

She's also bought a few different jars of marshmallow snow stuff, though who knows how long that'll last during the drift. The crew might want to jump on enjoying that ASAP.

Anyway, she can be found in the kitchen restocking and maybe doing some experimental cooking]

B. (During the drift)

[As the drift goes on Velvet gets restless, as usual, which means when she's not blowing off steam on the Iskaulit she's cleaning and tidying up the Red Fish. Whether it really needs it or not.

She can also be found checking on all the pets they've accumulated. She checks a lot on the slugs, actually. She's still kind of worried about them mutating due to malevolence.]

[ After finally having a planet to set foot on, people have come and go from the ship, which is more than understandable. Even if it was pretty cold, it was good to actually be somewhere. Now that they're gone, everyone is back and the ship seems more full. It's good to be able to check on everyone again. He just happens to wander into the kitchen when Velvet is cooking something up. ]

What are you concocting this time?

[searingedgelord]

Prickleboar sausage.

[A pause.]

Or something like it.

[Obviously it can't be exact since the boars on the snow planet weren't actual prickleboars. But it's as close as she's been able to get since arriving in space.]

It's something I used to make a lot back home. Pretty basic, but hearty.

[postocular]

'Prickleboar' isn't anything we have at home.

Sounds interesting, anyway. [ A beat. ] Do you want any help?

[searingedgelord]

Yeah. You can tell me how it tastes. It smells about right, but I can't really perfect the flavor on my own.

[She puts a piece of sausage on a plate for him to try. It's a nice meaty piece of sausage, though she maybe went a little light on the spices because she wasn't sure what would work best with this particular kind of meat.]

[postocular]

I can do that. It does smell really good, Velvet.

[ He gets a fork and tries it, thinking about the flavor. It's good to him, but he's not a food expert. Or picky by any means. ]

I really like it, but I don't know if that says much.

[searingedgelord]

[She doesn't seem to mind, honestly. She can kind of understand it's hard to be picky when the alternative is questionably flavored protein gel.]

Well, liking it is the most important thing. So I must have done okay.

[postocular]

[ It's hard to be picky here, just as it was hard to be picky at home where there was even less choice sometimes. He's adapted to like what he's given. ]

I think the others will like it, too.

[searingedgelord]

Good. Because I'm making quite a bit.

[She feels pretty confident making a good amount of food. Even if the Red Fish is a small crew she figures real food won't go to waste.]

[postocular]

That will be good for times when we're drifting, or if the planet isn't good for hunting.

[ He's not great at hunting, that was always Daryl's thing. ]

It could always be like that cannibal planet, too, I guess. [ Because that was such a great time for them, stuck in orbit. ]

You ought to charge.

[Asuka says it not quite out of nowhere, surveying Velvet tidying up what, at this point, really doesn't need it. She doesn't mind, exactly-- parts of the Red Fish were really showing both their age and a copious amount of dust-- but years of living with a slob keep Asuka slightly off-put by too much cleanliness. She runs a finger across a countertop-- spick and span.]

I know of a couple hovels on the fleet.

[searingedgelord]

[She pauses and raises an eyebrow.]

Yeah?

[On the one hand she's not super inclined to care about hovels that aren't her own living space. But on the other, she does get real bored during drifts.]

[interstices]

You can probably start with Kaworu Nagisa's. [Asuka, as usual, is completely straight-faced, without even the barest hint of a grin.] He's on the Vanquish. I think. Somehow he's one of the captains.
