Who: Violet and you!
What: Violet decides to step up and take a shot at cooking. She has... decidedly mixed results.
When: March 26th, early afternoon and night
Where: The kitchen (afternoon) and the viewing deck (night)
Warnings: Terrible violence comitted upon the concept of a scrambled egg.
[ So if you go down tothe woods the kitchen today, you might be in for a bit of a surprise. You'll find one (1) Violet Evergarden hard at work at one of the counters with a recipe book cracked open and... just some eggs? Well, if she's starting simple, eggs are a good place to jump off from. How wrong can you go with eggs?
Very wrong, it turns out.
Maybe you'll find her utterly failing at cracking eggs into the bowl. It's a bit of a crapshoot whether she ends up with egg all over the counter or actually gets it into the bowl, but either way it ends with her having a mixture composed of roughly 60% egg and 40% shell. Or maybe you'll find her pouring that mixture into a bowl and... doesn't that look like way, way too much egg for one girl?
Or maybe you'll just see Violet examining the sorry results of her work once she's done. It looks sort of like a badly mutilated omlette but it's so huge she's had to spread it across two plates. One side is burned to a crisp, one looks slightly soggy and undercooked and the whole thing just looks like a slightly greyish yellow hunk of rubber. Violet stares down at it pensively for a long moment before carefully picking up both plates and making her way straight to the trashcan. Atta girl, Violet.
That night, if you happen to be the sort of weirdo who lurks around on the viewing deck after dark, you'll find you've got company. Violet's there, settled on one of the seats with the duvet from her bed wrapped around her nice and snug, to stave off the worst of the sea breeze. She's got her eyes up to the roof, where the night sky would be, if it wasn't for the absolutely torrential rain pouring down and obscuring much of anything. She looks a little bit disappointed (or as disappointed as Violet ever looks, anyway) but she's sat there gazing up diligently at the roof anyway. Very odd. ]

Not that I can see...
[He returns to staring at the dishwasher.]
It can't be that complicated, if we just press a bunch of buttons that'll probably do something, right?
[Just. Mash all of them.]
no subject
[ Sound logic.
And with that, Violet just presses every single button and then shuts the door.
The dishwasher rumbles, ominously. ]
no subject
He throws Violet a thumbs-up, beaming with pride.]
You nailed it!
no subject
Yes. I nailed it.
[ the dishwasher gives a dull screech. this is probably working as intended. ]
Are there any other machines such as this in the kitchen? Do they all function in the same way?
no subject
I'm not sure. I haven't really done much cooking or cleaning in here. I can't imagine they'd be much different, though.
no subject
Then once I've mastered the preparation stage, cooking shouldn't be a problem any longer.
[ rip to the entire keystone station ]
no subject
See! You've got it all worked out, you'll be a master in no time!
[Astolfo can be blamed for the destruction.]
