[d2!Haseo shows up on the plane, apparently deep in thought, and leaves again after a while.

Shows up...and disappears again.

The third time, the trap brings a very much ruined pan with an unidentifiable, definitely inedible mess on it. Haseo looks just a little panicked at this, once she assesses the damage.]

Ah, damn it, not again!

[blink!]

Whoa. What happened here?

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

I tried to cook something. That's what happened.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Sheesh. What did you try cooking? [He stares at the pan.] And how'd you manage that?

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

Umm. [Looks at the...unidentifiable mess, probably only good for throwing at monsters. What was this supposed to be again? -- oh right.] Sandwich. And I don't know, it just happens whenever I try to cook.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Making a sandwich in a... pan? [Looong pause.] What kind of sandwich?

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

Okay, I was just going to grill the meat in it...and it was supposed to be a really simple one. You know, that way there's less room for screw-ups that end in, well, this.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Oh. ... Well, I guess that makes sense. Heh...

I'm not much of a cook, but... how much heat were you using?

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

[There are many potential answers to that question, Kuhn.

This is not one of the ones you want to hear.]

Actually, that's a pretty good question...

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

[.... Nope. Not at all. He gives her a blank look for a moment before he laughs nervously, rubbing the back of his head.]

Tryyy less heat next time, then? It'll cook slower, but it also won't burn on contact...

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

Okay. Thanks for the advice.

[...not that it will help anything, but that's another story!] Now I gotta figure out how to get it off the pan.

[Leaves for a moment before returning with some soap and a rag, and starts cleaning the pan. Because, after all, being on the Plane means you've got more time to get rid of the evidence before your fellow guild hall residents come home. :|b]

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

[Kuhn watches for a moment. It's amusing, watching Haseo worry so much over cooking, especially when he thinks about the way the Haseo in his reality would react to burning something in a pan.]

I could help, if you need. [He takes a few steps closer.] I've got some really strong dish soap, at least.

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

[Looks up after a moment, somewhat surprised.] Seriously? Thanks, I'd rather not have the others on my case about ruining yet another pan. Bit of a pain, an' all.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Sure! [He disappears, reappearing a moment later with a bottle of dish soap.] C'mon, let's do this in the bar or something where we can get some running water.

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

[Guess who overlooked that little "running water is necessary" thing? :D; The joys(?) of not thinking ahead sometimes...] All right then, to the bar or whatever.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

[That's okay, Haseo! Kuhn is a bachelor and is therefore used to doing dishes.

He makes his way over to said bar, looking around until he finds the sink. He turns on the hot water and gestures with exaggerated hand motions (think game show host or something), a wink and a smile for Haseo to have at it.]

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

[Haseo SHOULD be used to doing this, but considering how often she's been politely asked to leave the kitchen alone...

She goes with, of course, in order to get this mess cleaned up (and she's not quiiiite used to the Plane's layout yet, nope,) and once she gets to the sink and the water's on, makes with the cleaning!

... ... Well, it looks like some of it's coming off...maybe.]

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

[Kuhn's watching, just in case something else bad happens, or something. He's not genius when it comes to washing dishes, either, sooo...]

... Hmm. Maybe try putting on a lot of it? It says it's concentrated, but sometimes it takes a whole lot anyway.

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a good idea. [And she does just that! Soap, soap, lots of soap, maybe it'll make the horrible cooking failure go away...

Or cause lots of bubbles. That works too.] ...Uh.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

[Kuhn blinks at the soapy mess.] ... Er. Wait, that happened before back home. What-- Right!

[He reaches over to turn up the water. Some of the bubbles go away, but then the water hits the soap that hasn't bubbled up yet and it only compounds the problem. Hello, more bubbles.

Kuhn is left staring.] ... Errr...

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

[Haseo is also left staring.] ...That's not how it's supposed to work, is it.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Uhhh... not so much, no. [Nervous laughter, and he reaches over to try and stir the bubbles around some. That also worked last time. Sort of. More importantly, it's working this time! At least somewhat. The bubbles are still spilling over by this point, though...]

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

[What to concentrate on first, getting the soap bubbles to go away or cleaning the mess? Well, it'd be best not to go back with the evidence of the failure in tow -- but if this keeps up, there will be bubbles all over the place, and that isn't good. So, she tries to do both. After all, it's not much more difficult than juggling multiple weapons styles, right? It's possible to do that, so it should be possible to do this...

Except not really. Let's face it, even if (most) of the gunk is gone, that horrible awful stain's not gonna come off, and there's still some of the gunk left on the pan, and the bubbles...Umm...

Yeah. Not going so well over here.]

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

[Kuhn, in the meanwhile, is preoccupied exclusively with the bubbles. The water is going full blast, he's putting random glasses in the sink... anything he can think of, he's trying. He's making some progress, though, which is a relief. The bubbles are going down! \o/ Let's just hope they don't try adding more soap...]

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

[Well, the pan's as clean as it's ever gonna be -- which is not terribly clean; we're getting a nice happy talk about why we stay out of the guild hall's kitchen when we get home, yes we are. However, at least the bubbles are going down. That's good.] ...Well. At least it was fixable. [There's a slight sigh of relief there. At least the Plane's bar hasn't been flooded with bubbles...]

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Yeah, looks like it. Thank God...

[He fans at the bubbles with his hands, like that's going to do any good. He laughs a little before turning to face Haseo.] What about the pan? Any good?
