War Week

[mockmods]

[A week has gone and past, as has the first of your number. The Researcher revealing himself, more or less, by punishing Patches, the Trusty, for pushing an unclear boundary.]

[And yet, routine seems to have returned. The Researcher makes morning and evening announcements as if nothing has happened. Meals are served in the dining hall. The copies of Oregon Trail in the computer lab now have a text-only mode for some reason? Penny has not been seen since Friday, and attempts to access the Security Room have been fruitless.]

[But overall, life in the Facility has remained unchanged. But the atmosphere is getting tenser - sooner or later something is going to break.]

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday Thursday

[This is very, uh. Um. ...oh boy.] ...who all here knows how to cook? That might make deciding on teams easier. [At least one person who can cook, if applicable, to a team perhaps.]

[eudaimonikos]

I can...roast...meat?

[From his tone, Michael is also fairly clear on the fact that desserts do not, generally, involve meat.]

[mightdoriya]

[Izuku frowns, but it's at least more of a thoughtful frown than an irritated one.] That's something, at least. I don't really cook, but I think I might be able to follow a recipe at least. [Baking at least seems easier than most things?]

[eudaimonikos]

That should be straightforward enough, right? It's just all measurements and things. Barely any personal judgement involved!

[mightdoriya]

[Izuku nods, a his lips quirking into a smile.] I mean, as long as the recipe is followed the only real issue I'd think is making sure it's baked for the right amount of time. Otherwise it shouldn't be too hard.

[deathroadtocanada]

I can find a recipe on-

[The internet. Which she could normally connect to.

But can't now.

Oh.]

Um...

[mightdoriya]

[Izuku offers Kara a slight smile.] Don't worry, it looks like we already have recipes to go by. It's just a matter of being able to follow them properly.

[maxout]

Uh.

[Boy does Electro look lost.]

I haven't cooked anything in... a while. [He hasn't exactly had the need for it.] ...Sorry.

[mightdoriya]

It's okay. It sounds like a lot of us haven't, really.

[maxout]

I also can't exactly help taste test.

But a recipe's just... instructions, right? That shouldn't be too hard to follow. Probably.

[windowsexplorer]

I've cooked... things?

[but please remember that for her it isn't a problem if the food comes out inedible]

[mightdoriya]

What things, exactly? [Listen A thing is better than NOthing]

[windowsexplorer]

Lots of things!

But none of them were really meant for human consumption.

[clandestineideals]

I'd say I'm decent at it.

[ He can more than manage with just about anything, really. ]

[mightdoriya]

[God bless you Shinso. Also Izuku is definitely surprised, but pleasantly so.] Oh, great! Maybe you could be on a team with some who don't know how?

[clandestineideals]

[ Someone not a disaster appears...!

He'll just nod at first. ]

That's a good idea. Leaving those who can't on their own probably wouldn't help much.

[ To ... put it lightly. ]

[doppelanger]

[ CASUALLY SHOTGUNNING A LOOSE SUGAR PACKET AT THE PRECISE MOMENT HE ASKS THIS ]

I make meals.

[mightdoriya]

[YOU LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE] Okay, that's one more who can... [Izuku seems to have taken to mumbling himself as he's picking through the group, trying to make a mental list of those who can cook versus those who cannot. It's...a very small list on the side of those who can, but having at least one competent cook on each team of three seems to be their best option.]

[doppelanger]

[ She flexes her fingers and absolutely does not correct any assumptions being made, because of course she can cook and for sure nobody has seen her pouring off-brand crunchberries on top of her waffles. She can follow instructions! It'll be fine!! ]

A guide for each flock?

It's not so hard, maybe. They left us directions.

[eudaimonikos]

[Considers this



Experimentally tears open a sugar packet and downs the contents]

[doppelanger]

How does it taste, devil Michael?

[clandestineideals]

[ Late but dear lord Michael, why ]

A CHALLENGER ARRIVES

[hyaku]

[It's a liiiittle bit into the competition, when Shigeo notices that his station is missing a very important ingredient.... flour. They're missing flour. He could go into the kitchen to get some more but honestly he's not good with this kind of stuff, so he's worried that he might grab something that looks like flour instead.

He looks over at his other team's stations but.. well.... he's not that close to them and they look like they've got enough on their plate so what does he decide to do?

He decides to walk over to the opposing team, a measuring cup in his hand. And of course he approaches Izuku out of all of them.]

Midoriya-kun, we don't have flour. Can I borrow some?

[mightdoriya]

Mm? [Izuku had finally been getting started with one of the groups, and he's noticed by now too that they're...definitely missing some things. He can't help but wonder if it was an innocent mistake on Penny's part, or if she did it on purpose. The fact that Shigeo is coming to him for ingredients though tells him that it's probably the latter... Since they're competing, it would be smarter for Izuku to refuse and leave Shigeo's team with a very bad handicap. If he were in a competition back at UA...he probably would have refused, but also UA wouldn't be holding a competition like this anyway, it would have much higher stakes and less silly stipulations. So after a moment, Izuku smiles softly and moves to one of the cabinets, pulling down a bag of flour.] Of course, Kageyama-kun. How much do you need?

[hyaku]

Um....

[If it looks like Shigeo is at a loss it's because he.. doesn't actually remember how much. But it's probably fine if they end up with a little extra, right?]

This much?

[He points to the rim of the glass.]
