[ you can't do that right now. ]

Who: Belthazar and you!
Broadcast: Y
Action: The Goldstone.
When: After the shuffle

[action; bridge]
[This is kind of old hat to Belthazar by now, but he's still startled to be deposited on yet another ship. He hasn't been on this one before. Two long pointy ears stick straight out of his messy hair, just as strange as his glowing eyes. It's weird to have all his memories suddenly there, and he's a bit disoriented by that.

He also hates dealing with change. Dreadfully so. He takes a moment to straighten his collar and regain his composure.]


It appears I'm your new cook. You're welcome to the pudding, but a word of warning: even rats won't eat that, if given the chance.

[action; kitchen]
[One of his first acts as the new cook is to completely reorder the kitchen. However people were eating before, that is about to change. Walking in, it looks like something out of Matilda-- flour, sugar, and starch all marching along to their assigned spaces in the cupboards; pots and pans neatly slotting together and sliding into yet another cupboard; and the beginnings of a stew simmering warmly on the stovetop. Belthazar dictates all of this with one hand while the other measures some spices into the broth.

Whatever he's making smells really good, but the cook himself doesn't seem to notice anyone else walking in. He's a little too engrossed in enchanting the colanders and cake pans.]

[broadcast; video]
[Once he's had dinner started (because Light knows these people have probably never had a decent meal in their lives), he sorts out his new room and his personal shopping list. If he's going down to whatever planet they're docked at, he wants to make sure he gets the necessities-- cooking utensils, meat for the freezer, fresh vegetables, spices, and whatever else they can possibly grow on their own.

As always he's doing twenty things at once, but he pauses because he really needs to see how much time has passed and if anyone he knows is still here. He fidgets a little with the device until he can turn it on again.

He hasn't grown up too much since he was last here, with a healthy amount of baby fat still in his cheeks, but his eyes are a bright gold instead of their old radioactive green.]


My name is Belthazar. I was here, once, but between all the time that's passed at home and coming back, I haven't figured out how long it's been. The food still tastes like a different four-letter word, so I suppose things haven't changed all that much.

... I feel as if I'm waking from a very long dream, but I'm not sure which one's the dream. [He runs a hand through his bangs.] Er, right, my list. [He fumbles a bit with a pen and paper and tries to pretend he isn't a graceless creature.]

Does the Iskaulit still have a greenhouse? And, is there a place in this system where I can shop for a kitchen?

[He has more questions, but food is always a good place to start.]
tsunergy: (calm) (so let's talk about that ruin)

I see...

[Not gonna lie, that's... pretty cool. It's something he wouldn't mind seeing, though he knows it's impossible. Just for the sake of studying it...]

I guess because seraphim are more or less just pure mana made manifest. That must get a little distracting.

[He can't really apologize for being what he is - nor would he - but even so.]
tsunergy: (smile) (but you're not alone)

[Mikleo chuckles lightly, half-hidden behind his hand.]

I remember the look on your face as you stared. I was still getting used to the idea of being seen at all by so many.
tsunergy: (annoy) (...some of us...)

[personal profile] tsunergy 2018-11-21 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
If I remember it right, I was no angel, myself. I think our problem was that we were too brash to sit down and properly talk to each other before jumping to conclusions.

[Which... was not his strong suit back then. Sometimes it still isn't. That sort of trait doesn't change overnight.

He likes to think that he's changed a little bit over time, though. He's gone through enough to learn patience, that's for sure.]
tsunergy: (calm) (one of her was enough)

[personal profile] tsunergy 2018-11-23 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
You didn't, as far as I can recall. Though if you had, it wouldn't have been especially threatening.

[Because yeah, water elemental.]
