[Video — Both Accidental and Not]

[Backdated to March 2, early afternoon.]

—n't be right. [A mumbled voice, scarcely heard. A flash of... Something red, it's hard to tell.] Wasn't it thi—?

[The video blinks out as soon as it started, nothing but a static feed. It stays like that, too, for a good 12 minutes: a video entry to the network of absolutely no substance.]



[—until unexpectedly it turns on again! Rin's face is visible in the frame this time, too close and blurry. Her head bobs away slowly, seemingly looking at something on her phone but not directly into the camera.]

Steady. Steadyyyy... Just like that— [The angle slides and loses her, topples towards a stone surface.] Ah!

[Thunk, crack! The feed cuts again, whoops.]



Hi, hi. Rin Tohsaka here.

[Third time's the charm? Framed perfectly in the shot and wearing a yellow apron, Rin stands behind a countertop in the kitchen. Hands on her hips, she beams at the camera.]

It's been a boring, uneventful couple of days, hasn't it? Normally, this time of month we'd be welcoming a fresh batch of soldiers into our ranks, but as of today, no new faces have shown up yet. It's strange for sure.

[But not too strange. New arrivals were late by a few days in January, after all, so this isn't the first time the routine has been broken. Head turned and tapping her cheek innocently, Rin considers saying as much, or asking if there have been other weird incidents like that, but...

No, that isn't what she meant to do today. Pressing that finger a little more deeply into her cheek, it creates an artificial dimple when she smiles brightly again.]


Strange, and more importantly than that: dull! Which is why I'll be in the kitchen all day today. [She snaps her fingers, pointing at the camera.] That's where you come in!

I'm challenging myself. Name a food or ingredient, or even several, and I'll try to make something yummy that incorporates all of them. Anything in stock in the kitchen goes!

[With this she grabs her phone, so she can turn it and record all the various different foods and ingredients they have here, both what she's laid out on the counters (eggs, frosting, butter, strawberries, among other things), as well as what's in the fridge and pantries. FEEL FREE TO MAKE UP WHATEVER YOU WANT YOUR CHARACTERS TO SEE HERE.]

Bonus! [She turns the camera back on herself.] Anything I make you can stop by and help yourself to eating, too. Sounds fun, right? So fire away or come visit. You know where to find me.

[A little wave, and video end.]

[And just like that, Rin has gained a respect level with Dezel. He is a simple soul with two main interests, and cooking is one of them.]

...Can I help?

[Teach him your bold ways, senpai.]
blesseswithsuck: (Whatever.)

[personal profile] blesseswithsuck 2017-03-04 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh? Pay me?

[After a moment of total confusion, he remembers that humans use money to buy things from each other.]

I don't need gald. I just like cooking.

[personal profile] justribbing 2017-03-05 11:21 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. There still that crate of snails at the bottom of the pantry?

[ They're, uh, monster food types, so. They shouldn't have spoiled, unless they got baked into a pie or some unsuspecting human made escargot out of them. ]

[personal profile] justribbing 2017-03-05 11:40 am (UTC)(link)
Gross? Nah.

[ He leans into the hand bracing his cheekbone a little more, grinning. ]

Grade A snails straight from the Underground. Our food doesn't go bad, pal. Don'tcha know?

Anyway, I wanted to see how you like... slow cooking.

[ Nice. He's pretty sure Leonardo won't take kindly to the implication he's slow, but... those cold-blooded types got it rough around here. ]

Hey, I'm a skeleton with standards.

[ His eye lights cut off to the side, remembering. ]

And I might'a known a guy like him. It'd be weird.

[He bristles a little and blushes.]

Hardly. He just makes a convenient test subject 'cause he likes eatin' so much.

[personal profile] justribbing 2017-03-06 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Heh heh heh.

[ Monsters don't technically HAVE skeletons. There's skeleton monsters, though, but that's different. The implications about humans potentially being a food group, though, would be why that's the joke Sans refrains from cracking. ]

Me? Nah. I'm a seafood diet kinda monster.

[ He's used this one before. Knows precisely when he did, too. Funny how some things really stick with a guy. ]

I see food and then I eat it. By the way, you gotta use the shells, too.

1/2

[personal profile] justribbing 2017-03-06 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
You, uh--you guys don't eat the..?

Oh man, this is awkward. How do I put this?

2/2

[personal profile] justribbing 2017-03-06 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
It's, uh, kinda rude not to, know what I mean?

[ When the guy jokes about everything, situations like this make it really hard to tell if he's kidding or not. ]

[personal profile] justribbing 2017-03-06 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Ok, so uh, I ain't a humanitarian or anything, so don't take this the wrong way, but--

It'd be like throwin' your eyes out because they're garbage, capiche?

[ Sans is grinning, yet something about it seems distinctly uncomfortable. This is a pretty weird turn in the conversation, and he may have some regrets. ]

I think Tori used to break 'em up and toast the in the oven. Adds crunch. It's, uh, pretty good on her snail pie.

[personal profile] justribbing 2017-03-06 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Powdered, huh..? Heh, you're really gettin' into this.

[ That's pretty cool. ]

Lemme know, I might stop by and try it out. For science.

[personal profile] justribbing 2017-03-06 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah? I think humans can eat it just fine.

[ He-- stops for a second, on that note.

Sans can't remember if any human's eaten pure monster food. He can't name a single one. ]


Or, uh, might be worth a shot. Mainly that stuff was there for us.
