do the mingle shuffle!

Who: you! me! everyone! it's like a really big party!
Broadcast: if you want!
Action: see above!
When: right now!!!

[ So the weekly shuffle has happened. We got new captains, people who have mysteriously disappeared-- I mean, who have never existed, and new people aboard the ships. That's exciting! Wow! ]

[ New people, get acquainted with your ships? Press all the buttons? Introduce yourself like a polite individual? Old people, keep aging? Welcome them with open arms and confetti? Punch the person who just opened the door while you were in the shower??? ]

[ Who knows! It's a mingle post! Don't ask me!]

[ (But seriously, how bout those people who never existed, huh.) ]

[yeah, the smell of something food-like is definitely enough to get his attention and lure him into their makeshift kitchen.

he stares warily from the doorway.]


...What is that?

[ Surprise. Your favorite crewmate. With food. More than she can eat, definitely. ]

...from the way station. It may be overcooked, but it's hard to tell.

[ She made a guess. It's probably not terrible, at least. ]

[he comes slinking right in, peering closer]

I didn't know you could cook.

[ She's still not comfortable with him being all close, but she's not trying to kill him.

It's really just a general distance thing, nothing personal. ]


I lived alone. If I wanted to eat, I had to prepare food.

...you can have some, if you want.

[...like a wary animal, he takes a minute to just quietly sniff the air in the direction of the food.


and then goes to get himself a bowl.]

[ She...feels strangely victorious. Though she's not really sure why, it's just some food. ]

...you can tell me if there's anything that needs to be changed. For next time.

[ Turned away from him, she's busying herself with staring into the depths of a cup of water. She doesn't want to look too invested in his opinion. ]

[and give him a moment to not look too eager as he carefully samples it]


...Do we have any salt?
amarant: (white violet)

[personal profile] amarant 2014-10-22 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's lucky that came in the package of food. And that she doesn't take that the wrong way. ]

I put it on the table.

[oh, he... was not expecting a positive answer. he scoots over to the table to add salt to his food, and maybe that puts him in a good enough mood to be genuinely complimentary for a moment]

This isn't bad.
amarant: (cypress)

[personal profile] amarant 2014-10-23 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ What, did he just ask for salt to annoy her? ]

...that's good. What would you suggest for next time?

[ She's so detached from this weird food she made..... ]
heresyandlace: (smile like a snake)

[personal profile] heresyandlace 2014-10-23 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
[what? he would never tease her like that, goodness.]

I thought you didn't want to be advised on how to handle your food.

[but he's smiling when he says it. food puts him in the best mood, and there's even something like meat in here!]

...I don't know what else you can do given the circumstances. I'm impressed that you were able to put anything together at all.
amarant: (hydrangea)

[personal profile] amarant 2014-10-23 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
It's different with this.

[ Partly because she plans on making food for people she actually likes here. ]

...raising its temperature isn't difficult. If you think it's overcooked, it's easy to fix for next time.

[ Now the awkward time trying to decide if it's better to sit or stand. On one hand, magic is tiring. On the other.........she doesn't feel like they need to be that friendly. ]
heresyandlace: (trust me)

[personal profile] heresyandlace 2014-10-23 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[well, he nudges the other chair out with his foot, if that helps her decide one way or the other]

I'm perhaps not the best person to ask on that particular point, to be completely honest.
amarant: (marigold)

[personal profile] amarant 2014-10-24 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ Spends a few more moments hesitating before she just gives up and plunks herself down in the chair. ]

Neither am I. And that's part of the problem.
heresyandlace: (smile like a snake)

[personal profile] heresyandlace 2014-10-24 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, no?

Don't tell me you prefer your food raw.
amarant: (lavender)

[personal profile] amarant 2014-10-25 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
No, only that it all tastes rather...unappealing, no matter what it is.
heresyandlace: (aren't you a treat)

[personal profile] heresyandlace 2014-10-25 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
...Do you mean that of all food?
amarant: (hydrangea)

[personal profile] amarant 2014-10-25 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, that's right.
heresyandlace: (trust me)

[personal profile] heresyandlace 2014-10-27 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Really?

[chin in hand! so interesting]

Do you have a bad sense of smell?
amarant: (marigold)

[personal profile] amarant 2014-10-27 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think so.

[ Warily...wondering where he's going with this. ]
