soggypastry[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.]

Date: 2012-02-14 07:40 am (UTC)Course I don't mind, I got pretty used to it last year. But Minnie gave me some pointers that'll help this time.
[video]
Date: 2012-02-14 07:56 am (UTC)I hope so. I've never done this before.
[video]
Date: 2012-02-14 08:05 am (UTC)Not last year even?
[video]
Date: 2012-02-14 08:11 am (UTC)No. I didn't have a reason last year.
[video]
Date: 2012-02-14 08:37 am (UTC)If only Hope remembered things, he could run his theory by him...]
Well, I'm glad you do now. D'you need any extra supplies while I'm near the Mart?
[video]
Date: 2012-02-14 08:48 am (UTC)Also, Ven's getting a small smile for his offer.]
Thanks, but I'm good. I still have enough to try again.
[video]
Date: 2012-02-14 08:57 am (UTC)For that smile, she gets one as well]
Alright, I'll head over there then. Won't take me long.
[video]
Date: 2012-02-14 09:30 am (UTC)I'll be here. Thanks, Ven.
[She does mean that. A frazzled Lightning is not one who deals with cooking well.]
[video]
Date: 2012-02-16 06:17 am (UTC)See you soon!
[And with a click, he turns off the video feed. Time to put away his gear and hurry over to where Pinksis is]

Date: 2012-02-16 09:29 am (UTC)Hey Lightning, hey Spark!
[action]
Date: 2012-02-16 06:57 pm (UTC)At least she's in a good mood, though. Smiling at Ven and everything.]
Hey. Glad you could make it.
[action]
Date: 2012-02-18 05:53 am (UTC)And the positive attitude is always good, Pinksis has a great smile]
How's it been going so far?
[action]
Date: 2012-02-18 07:04 am (UTC)Not so good. Serah's the one who knows how to cook.
[And roasting meat over an open fire is an entirely different thing to making chocolates, sadly.]
[action]
Date: 2012-02-18 07:09 am (UTC)[He walks further into the room to set down the bags he's been carrying, tugging some folded paper from his pocket]
But I wrote down the things Minnie told me to try, I bet that'll make it easier for us.
[action]
Date: 2012-02-18 07:58 am (UTC)Same with Minnie, so Lightning will just be peering over to see what the older woman had told Ven to try. Any suggestions in there?]
I hope so. Running out of time to get this right.
[action]
Date: 2012-02-18 08:02 am (UTC)She said the temperature here was especially important, and making sure to keep stirring it...
[action]
Date: 2012-02-18 08:20 am (UTC)I had the temperature too high.
[action]
Date: 2012-02-18 08:23 am (UTC)[And he's only just trying now, this time around. After the previous year's epic battle, he'd been a bit reluctant.
But between Minnie's advice and teamwork with Pinksis? He's sure it'll work out]
[action]
Date: 2012-02-18 09:18 am (UTC)["things" being the recipe book, which has the temperature Lightning is using written down as the proper one....if using a double boiler. No wonder she got it too high.
But with Ven here with Minnie's knowledge, they should be fine. She hopes.]
[action]
Date: 2012-02-20 09:22 am (UTC)[Ven hands the paper to Lightning and hunts for a pot]
[action]
Date: 2012-02-21 04:35 am (UTC)[While Ven hunts for that pot, Lightning will just be reading that paper; Minnie was able to salvage her last attempt at cooking, so maybe this time...what advice can Mama Mouse offer to a woman who can't cook?]
[action]
Date: 2012-02-23 06:24 am (UTC)Let's see...
[Time to rifle through his supplies]
[action]
Date: 2012-02-23 08:31 am (UTC)He just. Keeps chattering. Enjoy that, Ven.]
[action]
Date: 2012-02-25 06:12 am (UTC)Upon finding a bag that a Pikachu should easily be able to handle, Ven hands it to Spark]
