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? ]

[It's funny. Mai walks in feeling like everything is how it was, Michaela smiling and talking about how she used to live in a tree, Kip being ridiculous over a rosebush and embarrassing himself, Takumi climbing up into a tree to sneak around because that's just what he does. Yuuri tending to the plants.

None of these others are there. The IGS Fantasy Sweet is charred space rubble. But Yuuri is there, and Mai walks over to her and gives a small bow.]


Plants.

[And then there was Ardyn, leaning back against the counter and flipping through a notebook, speaking up with:]

Duscaean oranges and Leiden potatoes are exactly what they sound like, of course. I think the problem with recreating most of this accurately lies in the focus rather than the smaller details. You apparently can't just find a behemoth or karlabos around anywhere in most worlds, never mind killing them.

[He narrowed his eyes at the page he was on, frowning with a look that was certainly disbelief.]

What even possesses someone to consider kujata marrow in the first place?

[In the course of her wanderings, Yuuri will probably eventually come across a green-scarfed android with a hose in one of the hands on their hips, seemingly having a staredown with the group of catterflies that someone has brought back from the Fissure and left in here.

Bottom hasn't noticed Yuuri, and seems to be mostly talking to themselves - ]


You know what? Sure, might as well. Never hurts to have more pollinators, I guess.
nojohnyouare: Feeling self-conscious. (you are the nighttime fear)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-04-30 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm. Exploring... Important here.

[Both because it seems to be the name of the game and.. well.]

It's strange. It reminds me more of the simulation for the dead. Anarchy. Neighbours. ...Clueless but sympathetic. But our Overseers seemed the same. So I don't know.

[ Xander had intended to just visit the flies that had hitched a ride on him back to the station, but he's surprised to see a girl here. Still, she looks so happy he can't help but smile a little too ]

It is quite impressive, isn't it?

[Whoever's cooking, they're cooking something that smells familiar. Close to home, in a way, and absolutely delicious.]

Apologies for the interruption.

[He's not going to hesitate in the doorway, but he is careful as he walks in. Ignis has been goaded into upgrading to a long cane - not white, as is standard, but black with just a white tip because apparently the androids are familiar with the Lucian aesthetic - but hitting Izunia taught him the need to be cautious. He's not exactly keen on shinning everyone he meets, after all.]

[It's a need for real food, not snacks or pilfered bread from the apparently endless supply they had in the freezer, that finally draws Prompto out of his room. His baby is snuggled safe and sound with Noctis, but he doesn't intend to stay out for long. Not until he gets a whiff of that familiar smell of rice and pepper.]

Ignis?

[He peeks into the kitchen and then blinks when he sees it's not Ignis at all, but a girl. One of the new people, he thinks.]

Oh. Sorry. I thought--well, never mind. I'll just heat something up from the fridge.

[Cori steps in, smiling as she smells the various baked goods roasting away in the oven.] Wow, looks like we got a lot more cooks this time around! What're you making?
nojohnyouare: Talking. (what i've become)

[Mai looks at the flowers like she doesn't know what to do with them.]

So we investigate. Right?

A behemoth is kind of like a horned canine. A very big one. There was a particularly dangerous one in the Niflheim tundra, last I knew. A karlabos is a giant crustacean, closest to a shrimp about the size of a truck.

But a kujata’s...you know those things your world apparently gets milk from, the one I argued with Leonard about for an hour or so? Imagine one of those, with enormous horns and built like a bulldozer. They’re also something like thirty feet tall, give or take a bit.

[She looks nice, and Prompto's warming up before he can help himself.]

Aw, are you sure? I don't wanna take food off anybody's plate if you were making it for other people. Smells really great, though!

[Smells like home, in a way. Not home-home, but the idea of home--safe, warm, in good company. A campfire. The guys. Ignis's cooking. The only place, amorphous as it is, he ever felt happy.]

Did you just sneeze.
nojohnyouare: Even her clothes look like Clarith's. (the ship is slowly sinking)

This building... Supposedly new. Like you got new areas. So probably a good start.

...We absolutely can never tell any of them.
