ஜ 3rd Rise of the Phoenix ஜ

[uccellodifuoco]

[Anyone approaching the kitchen today will find it in a complete state of chaos as Ikki cooks in it. He's not used to work in a kitchen so he has just no sense of keeping things in order or anything, the times he sneaked inside a kitchen to get good when he was little he didn't have time to clean up after all. On a first sight it looks like the work of someone who may be out to destroy the kitchen rather than just use it, at least what he's cooking doesn't seem toxic even if he has created a huge mess to make it.]

Tch, I should have just returned and eaten whatever there was around.

[At least he seems to recognize that he has created a mess. But he doesn't seem willing to clean it at all. He eyes the food he was making, seems he has made too much but he supposes he can leave it here for whoever comes next if they want, he certainly isn't going to throw it away himself food isn't to be wasted.]

[Sherlock is always up for a free meal. Well, when he eats. Since it had been a couple of days - he thinks, time is rather strange here - he wanders into the kitchen to get something.

He walks in and is greeted with quite the sight. It's almost as bad as when he runs an experiment. But the food smells wonderful.

To not appear too needy, he walks over and pours himself some coffee, which is when he notices Ikki.]

Oh, hello.

[grand_gaia]

[Isaac was coming in for a snack but....]

A-ah?

[lamb_of_gold]

[Well, Mu was coming to distract himself anyways...]

Oh my.

[uccellodifuoco]

[Today's menu isn't anything great, actually the recipes used are something so simple that even kids could make them, it makes sense since all Ikki knows about cooking are things he gained mostly when he was a kid. Honestly, the coffee is probably the most complex thing in the kitchen at the moment. Deviled eggs, a huge bowl of mashed potatoes and blueberry pancakes. Simple recipes with the potential of causing the huge mess the kitchen is in if one isn't careful, and Ikki wasn't. At least the food looks delicious and smells quite well, he may not be a complex cook but he doesn't make toxic food.

Ikki's currently still preparing the deviled eggs, it should be noted that there's probably enough amount of food to feed two football teams. He doesn't seem to mind the other's presence until Sherlock talks.]

Hello.

[He concentrates on his work again, not a man of many words or one to open to strangers. However even he knows he has made too much, chances are the other is only here for the coffee or would prefer to make his own food, or he can just leave it there and let the other decide by himself if he wants some or not.]

If you want something of all this, feel free to just grab some.

[uccellodifuoco]

[Glare, what, haven't you ever seen a messy kitchen? Well, it's not really a glare, but given how Ikki seems to have a frown as a default expression most of the time, it may seem that way.]

Anything wrong?

[Besides the chaos that is the kitchen, of course.]

[uccellodifuoco]

[This is a perfect distraction, isn't it? Ikki looks up at the familiar Cosmos even before Mu speaks.]

Hello, Mu.

[No, he's not going to acknowledge the mess in the kitchen.]

[lamb_of_gold]

[Seems legit.]

I hope you found what you were looking for, at least.

[Seriously, Ikki. He would have expected this shit out of Seiya, not you.]

[grand_gaia]

Ah..uhm. No, nothing's wrong, just...kinda messy, that's all.

[uccellodifuoco]

[Correction, Seiya probably doesn't know how to cook anything beyond sandwiches. And really the only two from whom you should expect any good knowledge about this are Hyoga and Shiryu. You know, the two guys with brains and masters who cared. Not that Marin didn't care but Seiya fails at the first condition.]

I found enough ingredients to make some recipes I knew. Why?

[uccellodifuoco]

I guess I made a little mess while cooking.

[That's not "a little" mess, Ikki.]

But that always happens, doesn't it?

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Simple to Ikki perhaps, Sherlock views "kettle boiling" as flipping a switch.]

Are you expecting company?

[Because this is a massive amount of food.]

[grand_gaia]

Not...to this extent, no.

[lamb_of_gold]

You certainly turned the kitchen upside down to find them.

[uccellodifuoco]

No. I just didn't control the amount. Old habits die hard, I suppose.

[When you don't have often the chance to get food or cook it you end just doing as much as you can carry to bring along and hope to be able to have a decent meal at least two other days.]

[uccellodifuoco]

... I made a lot of food.

[That's a logical explanation, right?]

[uccellodifuoco]

It's not so bad.

[He looks around... And then at Mu.]

Is it?

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock takes a pancake.]

Old habits? So, from a large family?

[Sherlock avoids cooking at all costs. Sometimes 'reheating' is too much work. That and eating is overrated.]

[uccellodifuoco]

[It's not overrated when you haven't been able to eat anything in a week. Much less when carrying a baby with you around, that one needs to eat even more.

Sherlock has no idea how nicely he has struck with the "large family" comment. Though they never were anything close to family, just related and none knew it.]

No, but when I was a kid I didn't get the chance to get food often. So I gathered and made as much as I could carry whenever I had the chance.

[He fills an egg and eats it, looking at the filing that he prepared, there's still enough for another dozen of eggs.]

[lamb_of_gold]

While I've seen worse, it was usually the fault of a small child.

[There's a laugh hidden in his voice]

[grand_gaia]

No kidding! Cooking for a trip?

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Well, cooking for a great number being 'habit' can't be many things other than a large family. Sherlock is surprised when Ikki mentions how he cooked.]

And you... packed Deviled Eggs?

[Which he knows can't be accurate, how would they stay fresh?]

[uccellodifuoco]

No. Cooking for lunch.

[For an army's lunch apparently.]

I didn't calculate well the amount.

[grand_gaia]

No kidding.

[uccellodifuoco]

[Are you insinuating something?]

Whatever, if you're hungry there's plenty of food.

[uccellodifuoco]

[Now he glares.]

Are you a critic or something?
