[Kitchen - Last week of March]

[Goro generally doesn't cook for himself beyond boiling a few eggs, usually either taking advantage of large meals made by others or just getting someone to cook for him. There's a reason for that...a reason his boyfriends have been trying to address. This week, he's actually attempting various simple dishes in the kitchen...with varying degrees of success. That soup he's offering you might be made with sugar instead of salt with a scorched bottom, or the omurice could have large chunks of onions waiting for the unwary to bite into. Generally speaking, nothing is completely inedible, but it's entirely possible he might have made just about any amateur mistake in the book. Taste testers beware.]

[Communal area/Magic lab - Evening of 3/26 or daytime of 3/27]

[For reasons certainly not related to difficulty sleeping, tonight finds Goro Akechi awake at times he really should be asleep. He'll be up all night, playing various video games he found in the remains of the Fissure on the beach. He's easy to spot, at least, in his bright outfit.

Unfortunately for him, staying up all night doesn't come without a cost...especially with the sound of rain pounding away outside. By the afternoon, he's dozed of in the magic lab, slumped back in his chair with a book in his lap. Every now and then, his expression twitches in something unpleasant, but he's too deep asleep for whatever it is to wake him up on its own.]


[Throughout the Station (save the greenhouse floor and medical lab) - 4/1]

[Though there's no calendars in the Station, Goro's been keeping track of the date...and today is a 'holiday' he's never really had a chance to participate in before. Last April, the only person he was comfortable showing his sense of humor to didn't really have one of her own...now it's different. The trip cords he's set up, made of threads pulled from silk yarn, are attached to small containers balanced precariously above places people he knows generally frequent. At first glance, it seems like they're simply filled with room temperature water, but direct light causes the victims of his prank to sparkle dark purple - the water is nothing but a distribution method for a small amount of microglitter.

Of course, while he's only aiming for people he's generally relaxed around, there's nothing near a guarantee others won't get caught in the crossfire. Either way, he'll be hiding somewhere nearby, somehow all but invisible even if his only cover is a chair.]


[Kitchen again - 4/2]

[Want to lodge a complaint about yesterday's prank? Goro's going to be spending much of the day on the second in the kitchen, with a pile of bright red snake eel scales, a bottle of dark green dye, a spool of yarn, and various assorted crafting tools. He's working on separating the yarn into smaller threads, which he dyes dark green and uses to thread the scales together around a small glimmerstone. The later in the day, the easier it is to tell what he's making: a small 'glass' flower, with scales for petals and a stem crocheted around a thin piece of aluminum. And if he ends up with dark green fingertips from handling the dyed threads while they're still wet...well, prices must be paid.]

Well, the white certainly won't do.

[He grabs the darker blue and turns it over, before holding it up to his scarf.]

What do you think, is it a match?

Well, technology seems more accessible to normal people, that's a big notch in its favor...

prank time

[personal profile] shiritai 2018-04-06 12:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Violet's familiar enough with traps and tripwires that maybe, if she'd been back in Leidenschaft, she might not have fallen for it. But here at the station, where everything's different, she's not quite tuned into what she needs to look out for, if anything. So she doesn't even think twice about crossing through the doorway into the kitchen.

And of course, she gets drenched. But the effect it has on Violet is kind of startling.

The instant the container bounces off her head, even as the water's still spilling everywhere, Violet whips around in a flurry of motion so quick that's difficult to follow. One second the container's still in the air, the next it's in her hand and at last she's tossed it to the floor so hard that it bounces a few times as it skids away, propelled by the momentum of her toss. And that's nothing to say of Violet herself, who's posture has gone from her usual pin-straight neatness to something coiled and angry, like an animal ready to pounce. Even her eyes seem brighter and fiercer than usual.

Then, like a lightswitch snapping off, that slightly worrying light goes out as she registers... oh. She's not being attacked...? Well, doesn't she look quite the fool standing there, soaked and glitter-bombed and looking like she's about to give that plastic container what's for. ]

I'd expect no less.

[This is an android who fears nothing. Except maybe Bottom in a fit.]
have_hat_will_travel: (Huhwhat?)

[personal profile] have_hat_will_travel 2018-04-06 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
... That's definitely a point of concern, yes. A very subtle form of Lawful Evil behavior, that.

[ Well, Noctis wasn't the victim of a prank, luckily. But he is here in the kitchen, looking for a snack or something. What Goro is working on catches his eye, though, and Noctis is kind of entranced by the work he's doing. It's pretty, the little flower, and he crosses his arms as he watches. ]

Is that something you do a lot?

[ It's kind of mesmerizing, watching him work. ]

Huh. It's pretty cool to watch.

[ Violet's gaze snaps up. All that wound up tension's still there in her arms and shoulders but she seems to ease up a little now that the culprit has made himself known.

She doesn't scowl persay but her expression is just a little more severe than usual as she points at the container. ]


... what exactly is the point of this?

[ she's mad!! ]

[Cori nods, grabbing another onion from storage.] Well, in a way, onions do have part of the cutting done already. [She says as she grabs a knife, placing it on a cutting board and carefully chopping both ends off, holding it up to show the rings before cutting it in half lengthwise and offering one half to Goro.] The best way to start out is to cut so that it forms actual rings, or half-rings in this case. [She peels off the skin, along with the outermost layer, as well.] You can keep the outermost layer if you want, but it's often somewhat tougher than the rest.

So this was a "prank"...

[ She says it like it's some bizarre foreign word she's never heard of. Which, considering the circumstances, probably isn't too far off. Unfortunately though, the explanation doesn't do anything to lessen the frown on her face. Extreme Disapproval. ]

Would it not be possible to provide some sort of warning beforehand?

[Kurama has been out of the station most of the day, working with plants far more suited to outdoors. He's grateful they have an outdoors to speak of now, to be honest.

But it's getting late, and Goro still hasn't come back to their suite. Which leads to Kurama coming looking for him.]

Goro?

Ah, so that's who it was for... If I get the chance, I may ask.

[Provided something else doesn't catch his attention first... which is pretty likely, actually, but shhhh.]
rhododendronhoney: (smile)

[personal profile] rhododendronhoney 2018-04-10 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
Well, one way is to fill a bowl with water and cut the onion in there, but I'm not sure we have bowls big enough for that...how do you feel about looking a little silly?
