Catch all of some kind

Who: Josuke Higashikata and y'all
What: Just some shenanigans
When: Don't worry about it too much
Where: The AV center and the kitchen
Warnings: Shotguns

-1: Video James-

The AV center is occupied. Josuke came here from the year 1999, so the technology here is significantly more advanced and he is taking advantage of that. In an era when Half-Life 1 is still considered as looking phenomenal, anything resembling an actually modern game is MIND BLOWING.

In this case he's got GLOOM (2016), a first person shooter about fighting demons from the underworld on a ruined research base on the moon with a wide variety of over the top weapons. Josuke is the kind of gamer who shouts at the TV, leans to the side in real life to try and dodge stuff in the game, and makes a variety of FANTASTIC faces as various horrifying things happen on the screen.

Also the volume is WAY up. You can feel the bass from outside the room every time he fires the shotgun.

-2: Italian Cooking-

All he wanted was some spaghetti. There was a really good Italian place back home, and he missed it. So he figured "Fuck it. I'll make some spaghetti. How hard could it be?"

Half an hour later, the fire alarm went off. By the time you got to the kitchen to see who had wrecked it THIS time, however, there was nothing there but a pile of uncooked ingredients on the table, a frazzled looking Josuke, and a faint smell of smoke in the air. Nothing was out of place.

If you were VERY fast, you might catch the ingredients flying away from the stovetop on their own and landing back into neat piles on the counter, and (if you're supernaturally inclined) the fading sight of Crazy Diamond vanishing behind him.

Josuke himself is wrapping a bandaid around his finger, scowling. The incredible psychic power that saved the kitchen didn't save him, apparently. "They make it look so easy on TV..."

[On the heels of the fading smoke comes Izunia, looking slightly panicked... And then immediately baffled by the repaired kitchen.]

There was smoke in here, was there not?

[Blink. Blink.]

...Oh, right. Like the table.

[He's got this. ... He may have just woken up in a panic, because with that settled, Izunia immediately summons a cup of coffee. He nods at the noodles.]

Do you need any help with that?

[Even if he wasn't that guy he literally has an identical twin, Josuke.]

Armiger. Infinitely superior to pockets.

[Siiiiip.]

I'm an excellent cook. ... After I've had my coffee.

[Priorities, the man has them.]

And I'm still up before my brother. I'm far too old to belabor under the mortal concept of a circadian rhythm, time is fake and love is the only real thing in the universe.

[Siiiiiiip.]

Love, chronic fatigue, and the delay between drinking coffee and the caffeine actually hitting my immune system.

Good plan.

[He is not arguing, he's just going to sit at one of the cafeteria tables with his coffee.]

[A short while after the initial Pasta Incident, Izunia walks into the kitchen again, yawning as though he's just woken up.]

[...Except scruffier and wearing an orange scarf, with yellow eyes and hair in a low ponytail.]

[So probably not deja vu all over again.]


...having trouble?

Depends. What the fuck'd he do this time.

[That's a yes, and another cup of coffee pulled from thin air to confirm it.]

High for stirfry and boiling water, low for simmering, medium for everything else until you know your way around the stove.

[We're two thirds of the way through coffee.]

Stupid, poetic, annoying--that's him alright.

[sssssiiiiiiiiiip.]

Ardyn Tenmyouji-Church. Izunia's unfortunately my twin brother.

Ten, usually.

[A last long drain and then he vanishes the mug.]

Did you light the noodles or the sauce?
founderinglight: ([hold])

[personal profile] founderinglight 2018-10-16 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Anything can catch fire if you try hard enough.

[Said with the complete confidence of someone who definitely tried hard enough, at some point.]

Almost certainly the heat too high, then. Most sauces take low heat and simmer a while.

[The most deadpan to ever deadpan:]

We do not often get along.
