[ in the kitchen ]

Kohaku had been spending a lot of time with Shing. So, naturally, she was in a pretty good mood.

And, in her good mood, she'd made a decision. She was going to do something nice for the residents of this place. She knew not everyone was in as good of a mood as she was, and while she couldn't do too much to help with that, she could at least do something. After talking with Rin a little about it, she decided she was going to use the resources the kitchen gave her to make a whole bunch of cookies for the residents of the Bastion.

She'd already made one batch of chocolate chip cookies and set them out to cool while she worked on making another batch.

Oh, and be rest assured, everyone.

She didn't put miso in them.

( feel free to come bug her while she makes cookies! )

[ around the Bastion ]

After making several batches of cookies, Kohaku managed to pack them all up enough so that she could go out into the Bastion and give cookies to the people she hadn't seen already while she was in the process of making them. Everyone needs cookies!

So, whoever you are, wherever you are, whatever you're doing, you will likely be greeted with a smiling face today.

"Hello! Would you like some cookies?"

[ Oh... something smells nice...

Because this obviously has to do with food, Shing ends up following the smell right to the kitchen, spotting Kohaku and the cookie batch as soon as he arrives.

... she hadn't seen him yet, right? ( Though considering that he was very loud in approaching the kitchen itself she probably knew he was here anyway... )

Not that it stops him from approaching her from behind, giving Kohaku a hug as he grinned at her. ]

Guess who~?

[spiria]

Hmm, I wonder ...

[ She looks back at him and grins a little. ]

I knew it was only a matter of time before you got here. Wanna help me make cookies for everyone?

[oursomalink]

Of course!

[ He doesn't even hesitate as he stations himself next to Kohaku, getting a few things ready to help out. ]

What do you want me to do?

[spiria]

Here, start scooping this batch out onto a cookie sheet while I start making another batch!

[ She hands the bowl to him, along with a spoon. ]

There should be 12 on a cookie sheet. We don't have many cookie sheets on hand so we may have to do this a little at a time.

[oursomalink]

All right, that doesn't sound too hard...

[ Shing's already working on that batch, spooning out the dough... or attempting to, at least, because the dough keeps falling out of the spoon and back into the bowl. Oops.

He does eventually get 12 lumps of cookie dough onto the sheet, though they are somewhat uneven. That and he also has a bit of dough stuck to his hands as a result. ]

This is a little harder than I thought...

[spiria]

Yeah, dough doesn't like to behave sometimes. You did a good job, though! Now we just put them in the oven for a little bit. Ah ... the last batch was done after about eight minutes?

[ She'll let her boyfrando handle that. ]

Don't forget to put on an oven mitt when you go to get a tray of cookies out of the oven, Shing. You don't need a burnt hand.

[oursomalink]

All right! And then we'll have delicious cookies once they're done!

[ Yeah, don't mind him as he goes ahead and - after putting on an oven mitt - swaps out the baking trays, pulling out another fresh batch of cookies with a grin. ]

Oh, this smells so good...

[spiria]

We'll have delicious cookies that we can give to others, too! We can brighten people's days a little with cookies. Wouldn't that be nice?

I'm really glad Rin let me borrow the kitchen to do this.

[oursomalink]

How many of us are here, anyway? It seems like there's quite a few of us who are taking refuge in this place...

[ Which causes Shing to wonder just how bad this whole Calamity was. He shudders just thinking about it... ]

Rin really seems to know her way around the kitchen, huh...?

[spiria]

Umm ... more now than there were before, I guess. We've found a few more people since I arrived.

[ yeah the calamity was bad stuff. ]

She does! She's a really great chef. She works here regularly, but the plague kind of put a damper on a lot of things for a while.

[oursomalink]

... that bad, huh...?

[ There's a noticeable frown on Shing's face as she mentions as much, but he drops it for the moment because that's the last thing he wants to focus on right now... ]

I see... at least it's over for now, though? I hope it doesn't happen again... it sounds way too unpleasant...

[spiria]

Yeah, people went out and found a cure. So it's more or less over now. If it crops up again, we have the means to deal with it.

[ ... Let's talk about happier things. ]

But hey! Cookies!

[ She is the worst at changing subjects. ]

[oursomalink]

Cookies are always good.

[ Shing himself nods in agreement as he reaches for and tastes one of the cooled cookies to taste. ]

... mmmm, I can feel the warmth and happiness already...

[spiria]

[ She giggles a little bit at Shing being Shing. ]

Good! I hope others will be able to feel that, too.

[oursomalink]

I think so! It's hard not to feel it when you bite into it. See?

[ And... he sure is going to wander over, break off a piece of the cookie and feed it to her to prove his point, yes? ]

[spiria]

[ You, sir, are a ridiculously cheesy romantic.

She likes it, though. She opens her mouth to receive that bite of cookie and chews on it thoughtfully. ]

Hm ... I think you might be a little biased. Or maybe it's because I made the cookies.

[oursomalink]

[ You know you love it. Plus, their whole canon is ridiculously unsubtle, it's par for the course! ]

Perhaps it's a little bit of both, then? Because I know I like it.
