Week 2

Friday's harrowing events are clear in the minds of manyfirst and foremost, the death of Rika Furude, and of course the reveal and subsequent "sentencing" of Asch the Bloody. It also serves well as a reminder to everyone that the gloves are off, there won't be an easy way out for anyone and it is unlikely that there will be an option to 'wait it out' in the hopes of not participating in this 'game'. Or, as The Sage and The Teishu put it:

The Challenge.

Despite how you felt about the trial, it's likely that some rest would be welcome after all that transpired. Fortunately, some of your fellow warriors have taken it upon themselves to provide a reprieve of sorts, if you'd rather not be alone.

As if the events of the trial are supposed to be nothing but routine, dawns comes once more Sunday morning, punctuated with the sound of the rooster crowing obnoxiously. Any light sleepers hoping for their rest to not be disturbed may find themselves disappointed. Though, if anyone should wish, they may feel free to try to fall back asleep.

But, maybe that time can be better spent wandering. It seems that some places may have mysteriously unveiled themselves. It might do well to check them out. Or not. How anyone chooses to spend their time is ultimately up to them.



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

Ha ha... think just about everyone agrees with you there. [Elliot certainly does.] But still, I think I'd rather deal with him potentially talking to me [because as it stands, Elliot's not striking up conversation] than cutting my hand open.

[HMMMM. CONSIDERS]

No, I don't think it would be that bad if I didn't have to hear him talk anymore. [p r i o r i t i e s, god she hates that guy?? this is also a girl who has fought on battlefields and has most certainly been wounded far worse only for clerics to hurriedly patch her up, though...

But okay, being angry is not doing much for her, so she's going to try refocusing.

Elli? Can we make breakfast?

[Meanwhile, this cleric is both currently powerless and easily freaked out at his best. Alas.

But hey! Breakfast! That's something he can do.]


Huh? Yeah, sure! [He smiles at her. She has a nickname for him and that is still the cutest thing ever.

He was just here for his usual coffeemaking, but hey. Machias is the world's greatest nitpick when it comes to his, and the others can wait a little bit.]


What kinda food are you thinking?
presomnia: (all your plans will go awry)

[personal profile] presomnia 2017-08-15 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno. [She makes her way over to a counter top so she can put her hands down on it and try to hoist herself up to get a better look at what's there.] I just thought cooking together might be a better thing to think about, so anything is fine.

i'm so sorry courtney you just had to do a cooking thread with the omelette guy

[personal profile] divertimento 2017-08-15 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
All right. How about I teach you how to make an omelette, then? Something nice and easy?
presomnia: (everything you plant will die)

I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIEND

[personal profile] presomnia 2017-08-15 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
An omelette... Okay! [Her feet hit the floor again and she backs up; Elli is here and he can be responsible for getting things off high shelves.] Tell me what to do.

LOOK I CAN'T STOP EGGLLIOT CREGG OKAY HE DOES WHAT HE WANTS

[personal profile] divertimento 2017-08-15 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Okay! So, first off...

[He goes and grabs some eggs courtney i am so sorry and a bowl, bringing them back over to the counter.]

Do you know how to crack an egg?

[Look, he would not be surprised if the answer was no, that's all he's saying.]
presomnia: (so who's afraid to laugh? not i)

[personal profile] presomnia 2017-08-15 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Uh-huh! [She's already reaching for an egg.] You just...

[takes the egg



slams it on the counter

LOOKS AT THE EGG ALL OVER THE COUNTER. LOOKS EXPECTANTLY UP AT ELLIOT

[personal profile] divertimento 2017-08-15 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Aha... ha. Um.

Let's get that cleaned up, and then I can teach you how to crack an egg for cooking.

[Elliot was not ready to adopt]
presomnia: (burning holes right through the dark)

[personal profile] presomnia 2017-08-15 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Okay.

[she doesn't...really completely realize the problem...... the egg is cracked??? but she's going to find a towel or something to help wipe down the counter with anyway.]
divertimento: (36)

tiki is a pleasure and a joy i need you to know this

[personal profile] divertimento 2017-08-15 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yes, Tiki, it is cracked. It is also not particularly usable in the process of making food.

But okay, he'll let her clean up that thing that just happened, and then he takes an egg and the bowl and shifts to the side a bit so she can see easier.]


We need to get the inside out of the shell and into this bowl so we can mix it up. Without getting the shell in there, because that's not gonna be good to eat. So, what we do is...

[He raps the egg twice against the side of the bowl to get a nice crack, then separates the shell into two halves and lets the yolk and white drop into the bowl.]

See? Like that!
presomnia: (flicking fire like saltwater)

she's an idiot is what she is

[personal profile] presomnia 2017-08-15 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tiki watches, impressively intense in her focus, before she takes another egg, brings the bowl a little less carefully than she could to the very edge of the counter so she can reach better, and more carefully repeats what Elliot's done: a gentle couple of raps against the side of the bowl, and then a proper attempt at splitting the egg to get the contents into the bowl.]

Got it!
divertimento: (6)

no one said these things were mutually exclusive

[personal profile] divertimento 2017-08-16 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
There we go! [OH GOOD he did okay at teaching. Okay. Onward!] So now we gotta get all that mixed up.

[He takes a fork and whisks the eggs a little, just to show Tiki what to do, before offering it over to her.

Please don't aggressively whisk the egg everywhere, Tiki. Please. He believes in you.]
