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.]

[video]
Date: 2012-02-14 04:19 am (UTC)[She's ignoring the dancing, all right. Focusing on her recipe is the only thing on her mind.]
[video]
Date: 2012-02-14 04:22 am (UTC)[...Focusing. Haha.]
action;
Date: 2012-02-14 04:28 am (UTC)--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?
action;
Date: 2012-02-14 04:34 am (UTC)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.]
[video]
Date: 2012-02-14 05:06 am (UTC)[But come summer...whoo boy.]
[video]
Date: 2012-02-14 05:54 am (UTC)Chocolate's pretty tough to get right, at least for me. Maybe we could both tackle it?
video;
Date: 2012-02-14 06:10 am (UTC)It's okay. Chocolate's tough.
[video]
Date: 2012-02-14 06:31 am (UTC)If you don't mind the smell of burnt chocolate, sure. It'll take a while to clear that out.
video;
Date: 2012-02-14 06:35 am (UTC)[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.]
video;
Date: 2012-02-14 06:37 am (UTC)[ 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?
video;
Date: 2012-02-14 07:05 am (UTC)I wasn't able to find one in the Mart, and they don't have one here.
[video]
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 08:56 am (UTC)[ those guys know heat, right? ]
Still looks good to me.
[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 09:03 am (UTC)[Though he does know heat pretty well...it might have worked if he was smaller.]
It's fine until I put it on the burner. Mixing it isn't the issue.
video;
Date: 2012-02-14 09:08 am (UTC)Lucky person, anyway.
[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: 2012-02-14 10:16 am (UTC)Lucky that I burn chocolate? How's that lucky?
video;
Date: 2012-02-14 10:56 am (UTC)[ And from Lightning, no less! He only needs to look at her a couple of seconds to know that's a pretty lucky person. ]
