soggypastry | 026 [Video/Action for Cherrygrove PokéCenter]

[Hi, Johto. Hve you been enjoying your...odd weekend? Hopefully so, because it's about to get weirder. Enjoy your view of Lightning hunched over a stove in the Cherrygrove Pokémon Center, stirring something in a pot. It's an odd sight, both with her hair twisted up into a messy bun and the fact that she's...actually cooking. Anyone who knows her knows that's not a good sign. Especially when she's starting to look a little bit frazzled.]

No, no, no...come on. Don't you dare burn.

[Yes, she's talking to her pot of...something. Unfortunately, this doesn't help her with the cooking and it's with a rather frustrated sound that she takes that pot off the stove, camera tracking her movements while she places it in the sink before scrubbing her face, leaving smears of chocolate down her cheeks as she takes a breath to regain her composure. Is she giving up? Not on your life.

She's just turning back to the counter, where there's enough ingredients for one more try along with a recipe book she's looking back at.]

You could always help, you know.

[A startled "Pika!" and...end feed. Spark still enjoys being Camera-chu, it seems.]

Current Mood: frustrated

Are you certain a Pikachu helper would be such a good idea? Their reach is rather short.

[...Just ignore the dancing, Lightning. It's for your own good.]

From:

soggypastry

Doesn't mean he can't hold a spoon and mix.

[She's ignoring the dancing, all right. Focusing on her recipe is the only thing on her mind.]

From:

paladinlost

And hopefully not leave hair in the bowl.

[...Focusing. Haha.]

[Leon doesn't know what it is, but he's in an uncommonly good mood today. So what if he and his girl have been stewing on an argument for two weeks? He bought her a valentines day gift, he has every intention of cuddling her and telling her how incredible she is, because goodness knows he doesn't say it enough--

--he pauses in the center kitchen door, slightly alarmed by the scent of burning. As he suspected, he finds Lightning there, unhappily glowering at a pot of...something in the sink.]

Is that...chocolate?

From:

soggypastry

[With a nod, Lightning sighs and continues to glower at her pot in the sink. Frazzled, frustrated...blushing a bit...things just aren't going her way today.]

It's supposed to be. Not that it's working the way I'd planned.

[Case in point, the recipe book Spark is pawing through. The one she'd settled on shows homemade chocolate hearts on a plate, covered in powdered sugar. Yep, Leon. She'd been trying to make those pretty things.]

From:

adamant

Chocolate burns pretty easily.

[Dropping his bag, he moves over to her. Her face is easily cradled in his hands, as he examines the spackle of chocolate she's left behind. Without pause or hesitation, he bends and kisses it away, mouth, lips, tongue wiping her clean again. The taste, though slightly burnt, is effective.

When he pulls back, his expression is intense as ever, but there's the edge of a smile on his face. He gives the recipe book a glance.]

You didn't have to go through that much trouble. Thank you. [A beat.] For thinking of me.

[Ven just finished collecting some supplies himself when he sees this broadcast. Aw Pinksis, he can tell you're trying hard]

Chocolate's pretty tough to get right, at least for me. Maybe we could both tackle it?

From:

soggypastry

[Trying hard and mostly failing, if the look on her face is anything to go by. Still, she seems to be in a pretty good mood despite that.]

If you don't mind the smell of burnt chocolate, sure. It'll take a while to clear that out.

From:

ex_aeroga402

[And he's glad to see her in good spirits despite the chocolate giving her one heck of a boss battle]

Course I don't mind, I got pretty used to it last year. But Minnie gave me some pointers that'll help this time.

It's okay. Chocolate's tough.

From:

soggypastry

I noticed. Cooking meat is a lot easier than this.

[Said in a distracted tone: she's pretty busy trying again, and therefore doesn't really care about the peanut gallery seeing her choice of fancy, homemade chocolate. Probably not the best thing to start her cooking career with, though.]

From:

arcanaeum

No kidding.

[ peering around, peering around...gosh, these feeds are so small. he'll blame the funky vibes for making him so talkative later. ]

Have you got a cooking thermometer there?

[ Fang's just followed her nose; if she's surprised to see Lightning, she doesn't show it except in a single raised eyebrow as she takes in the state of the sink and her friend. ]

Making chocolate?

From:

soggypastry

[Spark jumps with another startled "Pika!", having not been expecting Fang to show up like that, but Lightning only nods as she focuses on the recipe book in front of her.]

Trying to. Not as easy as Serah made it sound.

From:

Probably had the heat up too high. Or ya weren't stirring it enough.

[Hope walks into the room. He'd been training with Absol and Hoppip all morning but it was time to come back in and see what the family was doing.

What was that smell? ... Was that Lightning? Cooking? ... Oh divine Etro, save us all.]

Light?

[... What was she making? The smell of burnt sugar was lingering now. Mmmm sweets!]

Need a hand?

From:

soggypastry

[Even Etro's help may not be enough to salvage the mess Lightning has made, because when she looks up from the recipe book to glance at Hope....yep. Smears of chocolate down her cheeks. She's a totally frazzled disaster and the kitchen doesn't really smell all that good. At least she didn't set anything on fire yet, though.]

I'd appreciate it. It's not as easy as Serah made it look.

What're you trying to make?

[Hope set about the kitchen, clearing a little space to work. He walked over to the sink and dampened a cloth and handed it to Lightning.]

You've got a little...

[He gestured to either side of her face.]

I doubt a Pokemon would be able to help in cooking...

[A thoughtful pause. Everyone seems to be in such good spirits and it looked like a holiday was coming, but Aqua's got no time for romance and lovey-dovey things.

...Even if normally she loves chocolate.]

What kind of recipe are you using?

From:

soggypastry

Maybe not, but it's better than leaving him to the gear all day.

[Said as she focuses on her recipe, determined to get it right this time or die trying. ...You know. Minus the actual dying bits.

As for the recipe itself, Lightning shifts so the gear can show the pages she's looking at. It's a pretty fancy recipe, what with the heart shaped chocolates covered in powdered sugar. It's probably not the best thing to start with, but she's doing it. At least it only calls for basic ingredients?]

The only one I could find. They didn't have much else to work with.
