tenminutes: (Well? What do you say?)

( open-ish )

WHO: House A and/or visitors
WHERE: House A Kitchen
WHEN: Dinner time
WHAT: NPC!Yuri decides to try her hand at making dinner for the house. Family dinners are normal after all. Also getting turned back to normal, but this is open so more than one person may reply!
WARNINGS: Bad cooking.

[ Anyone in House A might have been a little confused about the cheerful humming coming from the kitchen, clearly from the only girl in the house. As a matter of fact, she's humming as she puts a layer of cake on the window sill to cool off. Yuri turns around and wipes off the counter off with a cloth to get excess flour off of the surface, then brushes her apron off and goes to start cooking something else.

That something else would be boiling vegetables in plain water for probably longer than they should be. And mixing ingredients together to make fresh udon noodles (flour, salt, water), then when it gets firm after only a bit of kneading she pushes in the parts that are sticking out and gets a bit of water to smooth out the surface. Time to roll it out with a rolling pin, so she tosses a little more flour on top and starts trying to roll the dough, which keeps sticking to the rolling pin despite that she put flour on so she just adds some more flour... more and more flour until it's not sticking and she's putting all of her body weight in to try to roll it out. Vegetables still boiling.

Once she gets it flat enough (there are only a couple of ten tears or so) she takes a knife and starts cutting it into thick strips. (Too thick? Nah, no way. It's more noodle flavor.) Even though it's supposed to sit for hours, dinner's much sooner, so she just puts the noodles in the same pot as the vegetables. No point in wasting water, they're going together anyway.

That said, most of what she could find in her trip to the convenience store was soy sauce and dried spices, so she just starts putting about a tablespoon of everything into the boiling pot and about half a bottle of soy sauce. More spices is more flavor. Yuri prods at the noodles with chopsticks like she's trying to test if they're done.

..Someone should probably 86 this whole situation. ]

It may look like that, but it sure doesn't smell like it.
onewayroad: (what happened to us)

Forgive me for being skeptical.

[sighs and pulls away from the doorway to head over, not liking the smell of things. This calls for an investigation. If this is something he'd rather not subject his stomach to, he'd rather know in advance.]

That many spice bottles on the counter doesn't look promising.

Extra "flavorful," huh?

What's it supposed to be?

[He does get a good look at the murky dark spice fog in the water, but that's not enough to crank up the alarms. Not to Accelerator, someone whose only experiences with home cooking he can remember are from the last few months of memories. No, it just comes off looking... heavily spiced. He wrinkles his nose and turns toward the spice bottles he'd been looking at before the top of the pot caught his attention. Geez, some of these together just seem... ugh.]

[narrows his eyes at a bottle of something that clearly shouldn't go in udon]

There's this thing called sticking to the standard recipe. [flicks his gaze over toward Yuri now.] Maybe you've heard of it.

[Such a :| face.]

You could've looked one up.

Anyway, sorry, but give my share to the idiots. I'm not hungry.

[This is the perfect moment for his stomach to let loose a small, low gurgle.]

For udon. Not hungry for... udon.

[His eyebrow twitches.]
onewayroad: (what happened as I let it slip)

Don't bother. I'll find something myself.

[No no no no absolutely not. Without seeing others safely eat her cooking, he refuses to so much as stick a utensil into a meal prepared by her.]
onewayroad: (bastards getting in his way)

[He was about to go looking in the cupboards and refrigerator of the kitchen to see what was actually already here, but at that line he flashes daggers at her, lip curling as he points emphatically in his reply:]

Listen when people fucking say something. Don't. Bother.

[He knows he can't expect much from an NPCed Yuri, someone who's simply obeying what little personality has been programmed into her, but that doesn't mean he can't find it annoying. With a small sigh, he turns to start looking through the (probably) mostly kitchen's storage.]
onewayroad: (it's so miniscule it's no tool at all)

[personal profile] onewayroad 2014-05-04 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
[The cupboards are mostly barren aside from a few random ingredients that aren't suitable for a quick fix of some sort. he makes a small sound of annoyance as he closes yet another cupboard door and turns to glance at her over his shoulder.]

I've never been big on favors anyway, so it's just as well.
onewayroad: (I've been floating here too long)

[personal profile] onewayroad 2014-05-05 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Just as well. Not much of it would have interested me, if it's the sort of shit that goes in udon.

[yep, looks like that's his only option. he closes the last cupboard after a quick visual scanning of the shelves and heads for the doorway out of the kitchen.]

Try not to give everyone food poisoning while you're at it.

Right, I believe you so much.

[His final words over his shoulder as he heads out. jfc Yuri.]
