[CLOSED] MOAR CAKE! MORE FLAMES!

[laughafterme]

[Somewhere in the Garden, these two instructors are arguing.]

If you serve the appetizer before the bread, the whole meal will suffer!

...but the cake IS the meal!

If you serve only sweets, sugar will lose all taste!

Then put in MORE SUGAR!

Would you serve only chocolate cake when you could make vanilla? Would you serve only layer cake when you could make an ice cream cake?

I would serve them ALL!

Then surely, serving a thing which makes cake taste better is worthwhile?

DUH!

That is the purpose of a meal!

I've been TRYING to tell you that from the beginning! [No she hasn't.]


(ooc: RED is Mr. Champloo. PINK is Pinkie.)

[Home ec is rapidly going to become a class of horror and myth, isn'tit.]

Then if we agree, you understand why chocobo chicks must be brought here, rather than the students going to a farm!

[laughafterme]

[Pinkie believes in unicorns and manticores. Of course it will!]

Animals don't belong inside of BUILDINGS! Have you been to the BOYS dorm? It smells like FEET Big, HONKIN', ogre feet! Chocobo need FRESH AIR, lotsa SPACE to run around!

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

If your soup is cold, do you throw out your salad? Poor dorm cleanliness is a matter for the disciplinary council!

And I maintain that it is better for students to learn respect for the animals, even if the animals must come here to do it! Garden is not such a bad place.

[laughafterme]

WHY can't they respect those little critters in their OWN environment? What's the POINT of them staying here and then going AAAAALLLLLL the way back to the farm? They'll live with nature all their lives! WHY should we bring them here?!

And...it depends on the soup! Some soups are GOOD cold!

[Wait, did he say disciplinary council?] So...THEY clean things up? I thought the Prince did that...

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

No, the disciplinary council would have words with any cadet, male or female, who let their room grow so foul that the finest Limburger could not compete with the smell.

Now, consider this! Here in Garden, we are training many people from odd and curious worlds to use weapons and magic. Now, suppose some day they go out into this wide world and see a chocobo. Do you wish them to see it as a magnificent beast, like the ones they knew and loved here? Or as a giant trophy?

[laughafterme]

[Shudders at the mention of that cheese.] GROSS!

[Now her eyes are wide.] Do you REALLY think cadets would make them into TROPHIES? [Pinkie looks HORRIFIED at the thought!]

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

If they did not learn the proper respect! A large bird is a prize, but seeing it small and soft will open their hearts to it!

[laughafterme]

HMMMMMMMMM... [She thinks this over, tapping her foot. Tapping isn't enough! Pinkie starts to pace.] Fluffy animals ARE cute, and who wants a cute prize?!

[Looks over to Champloo.] But having a little baby chocobo in such a BIIIIIIIIIG school like this? PLUS won't they get too hot in your kitchen? [Those flames are so COOL, but they might roast the chicks once they step inside!]

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

Hyahya! Chocobos are tough birds! From what I hear, they caused more trouble for the students than the students ever did for them! And I can move my classes out of my kitchen for a little while when I have to. Better than than hard-boiling their eggs, boom!

[laughafterme]

OH?! What have they done?! Did they take over the kitchens?! Or did they take a cool swim in the pool?! Can you IMAGINE them doing a BUTTERFLY STROKE?! [Giggles, because chocobo aren't butterflies!]

I bet the chocobo here are WAY more interesting than the ones in Galbadia!

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

I am only repeating rumors I've heard! Surely you could get the story without much effort?

[Champloo takes a perverse delight in unleashing Pinkie Pie on the populace. He really does.]

They are magnificent beasts, indeed. I saw some while in Trabia!

[He also cooked some. He will not be mentioning this. Ever.]

[laughafterme]

[If only people knew Champloo is the reason for half the chaos Pinkie creates.]

THAT'S A GREAT IDEA!! Collecting chocobo stories! WOOOOOO! [Bouncing in place now. Oh boy! TIME TO BOTHER PEOPLE!]

Are they different in Trabia?

[Oh gosh, don't ever tell her that..]

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

[To be fair, he has cooked many things, including himself.]

The chocobos are no different than the eggs from which they emerge. I have been to many of their forests!

[laughafterme]

[She probably was witness to that. Popcorn and all.

Pinkie is quiet for a moment before...

GAAAAASP]

We should GO to their FOREST! And then we can see their homes, and the pretty flowers, and OH OH! CAMPING!!

We can do that, right?! [Look at those hopeful eyes, Chammy!]

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

I'm flattered you would ask me out on such a special excursion!

[Yes, he's teasing her.]

[laughafterme]

[She is so oblivious.]

Well, DUH! You're the other Home Ec instructor! You HAVE to come!

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

If you're proposing a trip for the students as well, perhaps it could be during the break? We would not want to take them from their other classes after all.

[laughafterme]

Why wouldn't they go? That's my point all along!

[She hums at the idea of the trip during break.] I guuueeeeeeessssss. [Tilts her head to the side at the oddest angle ever.] Kinda strange for you to say that! Don't you WANT them to be IMMERSED IN THE JUICES OF THE CHOCOBO'S NATURAL HABITAT?! THEN SAUTEED TO PERFECTION?!

[Yes, she is mimicking him. How's she doing?]

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

[Gets a grin out of him!]

Ahyahya! Chocobos are birds, therefore, I would prefer to see the students breaded with knowledge, then lightly skillet-fried and spiced with the Corporal's secret recipe of thirteen herbs and spices of experience!

[laughafterme]

MAYBE they should be DOUBLE BREADED with...with...HARD WORK!

[She isn't the best at these!]

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

If learning is the goal, hard work will be a complimentary side dish!

[For someone who has not spent centuries training in the Kitchen Fist, she is quite acceptable.]

[laughafterme]

OOOOOOOOOOOoooooh.

[And her stomach rumbles.]

All this talk about schoolwork is making me HUNGRY! I say, we should start on schoolwork IMMEDIATELY!! There's lots and lots and LOTS of research to do! [Fistpumps because THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS! Someone has to research that Baked Alaska. And by research, she means taste test!]

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

Schoolwork, or eating food? There IS a slight difference. [He winks broadly at her, teasing again.]

[laughafterme]

[Blinks] Is there something in your eye?

...there is?! I usually do BOTH at the same time!

[Eating schoolwork isn't easy!]

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

There is a subtle art to the sampling! After all, if you've got to give it a grade, your perception of the food will be slightly different!
