Do alarms like that normally happen here? It was quite a wake-up call! I'm glad I wasn't drafted, but...

[ she's pretty concerned about people who are. Platina glances worriedly off to the side, then turns back to the feed. ]

I hope they'll be all right. In the meantime... does anyone know how to make a cake?

[ pointing the camera at her disastrous-looking attempt. yyyyes, wrong canon, but the girl is not a cook! it's her birthday and she wants cake damnit o9" also action is cool for anyone living in pokehouse too. ]

No problem! And yup, there you go. I know it took me forever until I got battlin' down, and look at me now!

[leadinglady]

That's a good way to think about it. It's like training for pokemon battle, only in this case, it would be cooking...

[ staring at him expectantly, like he's about to do something interesting after saying LOOK AT ME NOW 8D/ ]

[bravefighter]

Yup. It's kinda different, but it should be easy enough to get down!

[leadinglady]

Do you have experience with baking, then?

[bravefighter]

None at all!

[leadinglady]

... But you sounded so confident, just now!

[bravefighter]

Well, it doesn't seem like it'd be that hard, I guess.

[leadinglady]

Practice is often different than theory. I should know! Things may seem simple when you try to follow a book, but...

[ just looks helplessly at failcake. ]

[bravefighter]

You've gotta point there. But yeah, practicing a bunch is a sure way to get it down.

[leadinglady]

I agree with you, but you should still have more experience than 'none at all' before saying that so boldly. Maybe you should try to make something right now!

[bravefighter]

Huh, you think so? I guess I could try something, yeah! Dunno what I'd make, though.

[leadinglady]

A... cake... possibly.

[ I'M IN THE MOOD FOR IT o9" ]

[bravefighter]

Guess I could try something like that. Do we still have enough ingredients and stuff?

[leadinglady]

I think so. And the recipe book is right here, too.

[ BRANDISHES AT o/ ]

[bravefighter]

Alright! Then uh... I guess I'll try to do it, then!

[He'd be rolling up his sleeves if he had them! Instead, he takes off his vest. Time to get crackin'.

Quite literally, actually! Eggs on on the list, so let's crack those. And get bits of egg shell in the bowl too.

Extra flavor... !]

[leadinglady]

[ just going to observe curiously FOR SCIENCE. hypothesis: Red is her senior and should be a little better than she is at cooking. results so far... lookin questionable. ]

[bravefighter]

[HEY HE MIGHT HAVE THIS... at least, he's putting in the right amount of ingredients! It's just kinda. Messy.

Like trying to stir stuff. That's going great. Except that he's spilling some of it.]

[leadinglady]

[ Red used SPLASH! Platina's cleanliness fell! ]

H-hey! Do be careful where you're aiming your... stirring...

[bravefighter]

Oh, uh... sorry!

[He'll tilt the bowl back up! His bad... !

He does seem to be doing a little better, at least... Even if he's staring at the book like "what do I do now..."]

[leadinglady]

[ yyyep, that's exactly the face she had when making hers. wondering if she should help out........... well why not. ]

I could get the flour and dry ingredients together for you, if you'd like.

[bravefighter]

Oh! That'd be great, actually! Thanks a lot.

[Help is always good... ! It'll get it done faster, too.]

[leadinglady]

[ determinedly mixing together the flour and cocoa and whatever else!!... and if she accidentally mistakes the baking flour and soda, no one will ever know. until they eat the cake but hey. ]

[bravefighter]

[And who would eat the cake made by these two. Honestly. It'll look good at least! Maybe!

It should, anyway. They would probably mess that up too, though.]

[acuity]

[ let's get everything wrong one step at a time! but yes this batter is lookin pretty questionable already. thinking about sampling some, but... you know what MAYBE NOT. ]

[bravefighter]

[YEAH THAT'S... PROBABLY A HORRIBLE IDEA. Step away from the batter, Platina. That thing might eat you before you eat it.]

Uh... looks kinda weird.
