Capture 5 | dictated; | dated to early afternoon

[panicswitched]

Okay so... I've been spending a little time outside my normal activities -- fyi I think it's a little impossible to burn this place down. [ because that's totally comforting, ashley. ]

So I was wondering something. How many of you actually cook? Do a lot of you guys just wish up your meals or raid the cabinets? I'm starting to think I might need to employ a good teacher or bribe someone to do my cooking for me. Or I could just hike out to town every time I want to eat.

Just wondering what the rest of you do. And I'm totally not in the kitchen right now, fyi.

[ she lies. she's totally in the kitchen. but she's not responsible for the charred remains of that plate of fries on the table.

...cough. ]

I'm not a terrible cook. I usually feed myself, even if I am wishing up the ingredients.

dictated;

[panicswitched]

Guess that's better than nothing. I was trying to avoid the wishing part. Starting to think that might not be possible.

[ someone has trust issues. ]

dictated;

[ol_northy]

I tried, but it's honestly been difficult to keep up.

[Because babysitting his sister and whatnot...]

Still, you can whip up something pretty decent.

dictated;

[panicswitched]

[ she debates for a while. ]

I've never done any actual cooking myself. So I'm kinda new at this. Kinda wondering if I should just give up and wish for everything.

dictated;

[ol_northy]

Never? Really?

[lioneyed]

I've been learning to cook, but when it doesn't turn out so well, I usually just wish something up.

[both_neither]

[Well, look, here's Gren. He recognizes Ashley from the theater, though he steered mostly clear of her after that little blow up at the door on day one. But he's got eat too. So he breezes in, giving the charred remains of her food a sidelong look as he makes for the refrigerator]

Should I call the fire department?

[bronwe]

[ Ooh, food. Ooh cooking! ]

Cooking can be fun, more so with company.

[theabjectauthor]

My ward is looking to learn more about the culinary arts, herself. Perhaps I could teach the two of you, together?

dictated;

[panicswitched]

Nope. Someone else always did it and I never had time to learn.

[panicswitched]

I guess that works.

...I may have to do that this time. Don't think those are edible.

[panicswitched]

Especially if one of you knows how.

[ is she sounding sulky? nope. not her. never. ]

[panicswitched]

Sure. I'm all ears. Better than burning everything.

[panicswitched]

Ha. Ha. Ha.

[ have an eyeroll. ]

Didn't think there was one near enough to matter.

dictated;

[ol_northy]

Maybe now is a good time to catch up.

dictated;

[panicswitched]

You offering?

dictated;

[ol_northy]

I can show you some basics, sure.

dictated;

[panicswitched]

[ she's honestly surprised, but she'll take it. ] It's gotta be better than my guessing game.

[ that's her way of taking him up on the offer and saying "thank you" all at once. ]

Name your time.

[mal_addict]

I don't actually...do the eating thing, so I never bother to cook.

But good luck with that?

[panicswitched]

Thaaanks.

[ pause. ]

This is the one time I wish I'd gotten that along with the teeth and talons.

[ the one time she wishes she'd gotten the blood lust with the rest of the vampire issues. ]

dictated;

[ol_northy]

If you like waffles, I'm your man.

[Hrmmmm.] Tomorrow afternoon?

[mal_addict]

I don't know, I hear enjoying food is quite nice.

[schrodingersghost]

I can do some basic stuff. Self defense, you know?

[both_neither]

[Sorry Ashley. Not everyone finds his humor amusing.]

Not in the castle, I suppose.

Did you want some help?

[lioneyed]

Well, hopefully you learned something, at least?
