bathed in scarlet from the setting sun

Who: Yuuri and you!
What: Yuuri does something that bears a passing resemblence to settling in at the Keystone Station. In practical terms, this translates to sticking her nose into just about everything and doing a metric fuckton of stresscooking.
When: The week or so following the IC intro log.
Where: One prompt in the kitchen closest to Room #43 and one in the annex! As well as a general wildcard.
Warnings: Nothing currently worth warning for! Some passing references to murdergame unpleasentness might come up in the comments, though.

[ It's been a few days since the group of new arrivals landed back at the station and apart from the little pizza party set up for them, Yuuri hasn't really been up to mingling. She's not been shut up in her room, but she's been keeping to herself and the people she knows, for the most part. It's safer that way.

Restlessness is a funny little thing, though, and when you've started getting used to a life beyond staring at four walls again, it creeps up on you faster than you'd like. So as anxious and wound up as she is about this whole... everything, Yuuri figures that there probably isn't any harm in starting to familiarize herself with their new surroundings.

She mostly sticks to the main building, like she doesn't want to stray too far from the people she'd arrived with. While she's out and about, you'll mostly find her on the viewing deck and the roof – nice, outdoorsy places. If you want to catch her for anything, you might as well do it now. ]


annex

[ Yuuri's already looked around the annex briefly on her first night here, but she'd been a bit too frazzled to really take any of it in. Now, though, she's more prepared to explore.

She starts off poking around in the changing rooms, with a slightly hopeful look on her face. This whole setup looks very much like a public bath and her hopes are raised even higher when she opens the door and sees what looks like a huge bath. But then she gives the rules a proper look, sees the words hot tub and scrunches up her nose. Boo, disappointment.

Thankfully, the greenhouse is much less of a disappointment. She gives the place a long, slow circuit, and without even realizing it, she's already started to smile. After having a whole garden to tend to, the downsize in Tokyo had been a little hard to get used to. But a whole greenhouse? She's right at home.

If you're the planty sort as well, you'll probably find Yuuri here at some point or other, tending to the flowers and the plants with the easy, practiced hand of an experienced gardener. It's the most relaxed she's looked since arriving. ]


kitchen

[ Because of course Yuuri would end up in the kitchen. Of course.

It's not a one-off occasion, either. There's kitchenettes in each of the apartments, of course. But those seem to be a little too small for Yuuri's purposes. Mostly at mealtimes but occasionally at odd hours, too, you'll find her in the kitchen, busily cooking enough food to feed an army. Most of it is Japanese food, but some of it's decidedly not. And sometimes it's not even food at all, but baked goods.

But it all looks and smells very good so you might as well come and investigate, right? ]

Excuse me, I know how to operate a stove and Leonard isn't here yet, I don't think we'd set the kitchen aflame.

Thanks kindly, miss.

[Connoisseur of neathy delights she may be, but there's still something uniquely satisfying about good, rich, surface-raised foodstuffs. Even the most well-adapted human citizens of the Neath are on some level creatures of the Surface by nature.]

Oh, terribly! I don't know what I'm doing at all!

[...Don't sound so cheerful about that, you kept burning things.]

Not that it's a very necessary life skill in my case, of course. But everyone else was always doing it and... well, it was my way of trying to feel closer to them, I suppose.

In that case, I'd love to.
photoshooter: (... 📷 Oh. I'm sorry.)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2018-05-12 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw, yeah, I bet.

[He sighs and crosses his arms.]

Moving around all the time, never having your own space that's yours... It's really, really tough to live like that for a long time. But at least things seem, like, safe and stable enough here. Mostly.

I don't think half the people here have ever had to cook for themselves before. I can hardly blame them for a few mistakes.

[It's not a matter of etiquette so much as... you know, lack of skill.]

I think a "how to use this appliance without blowing up anything" lesson would be a bit more accurately targeted to this demographic.

[Also don't mind him stepping around you to the spice cupboard to gank the black pepper for his roast over there.]

[After a considering flutter, it lands and bonks her finger.]

Well, it's not like the ecosystem would survive with nothing but apex predators, even if there's magic around.
seafoamgreen: You want an ideal world, right? (Default)

[personal profile] seafoamgreen 2018-05-15 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome, thanks.

[Undyne grins and immediately grabs something to start snacking on. This is a hungry, hungry fish lady, okay.]

Yeah, sometimes you gotta look out for people, it's important.

[She nods gravely at Yuuri's answer, as though she's a responsible chef and not one of the people here mostly likely to set the kitchen on fucking fire, apparently totally unaware of the hypocrisy.]

I did also try cooking rice. Which went no better. I burned a lot in that kitchen. But then, it was only simulated.

[So who cares, really. He didn't burn shit in the real one.]

...I hadn't really thought about trying again. Then again, I suppose there's no real reason not to, is there?

Not at all - I find it hard to judge how much to make myself.

[He became used to cooking for four, but, well. Times have changed.

Also sign him the fuck up for a taste, he is here and ready to try all food all the time--]

[Tiny head pets are indeed acceptable.]

It's possible that we're actually too large to register as predators to them - they'd be barely bite-sized to something like those deer, a bear, or a wolf.

[Bottom shrugs slightly, before bending to test the soil of one of the plants to see if it needs water.]

Or it could just be Fissure magic at work again. They're not native to this world, I can tell you that much.
nojohnyouare: Looking to the side. (to say it to you)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-05-17 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Something to think about. ...A lot of things. I know it seems friendly here. But I don't blame you. Suspicion is normal, too.
nojohnyouare: Sitting on the steps with her sword. (okay okay okay okay okay)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-05-18 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
That they believe it? Maybe. Because we were skeptical and we were right?
