Samusicus Office Logicus [action]

[What's this? Samus doing a normal office log? Yeah pretty much.

She's been a little mopey lately and seeking PRIVATE TIME to work out this residual mope. So any time this week after class-hours you might find her holed up in her office or her classroom with the door slightly ajar, probably working on a huge piece of mechanical what-the-heck-is- ( Read more... )

[Weavile walked down the hallway, a couple boxes of cookies in his hands. His office stash had been running low lately, so it was time to refill.

He passed Samus' office, only to hear noises coming from within. Noticing the door was cracked open, he decided to take a peek. But she sounded sort of busy so maybe he should've left her alone. Darn his curiosity.]

[What was that. Delicious cookie smell. Weavile, you've been spotted by a hungry beast who doesn't know she's hungry yet.]

[Oh. Apparently Samus had noticed him. Well, it would be rude to simply walk off.

He entered the room, about to raise his hand only to remember the cookies. So he nodded instead.]

How are you doing today?

Fine. [Default reaction, regardless if that is ever true or not.]

Are those...? [Staring at box action]

Hm?

[Oh right. The cookies. He held them up for her to inspect.]

I was going to bring these to my office so people could have a snack if they wished. [A pause.] Would you like some?

[They smell. So good. So innocently good. But Samus has been tempted in the past by innocently good smelling things and they've lead to shrinking or kidnapping or gender swaps or poison what have you, so she's resisting... for now.]

I'll pass for now, thanks. Falcon will call me a fatty. Did you make them?

I did. Though I borrowed a recipe book from the school's kitchen. They came out surprisingly well.

[Considering his last batch had almost lit the school's oven on fire, this time was an improvement. But he wasn't about to tell Samus that.

That was when Weavile noticed whatever the woman was tinkering with.]

If you don't mind my asking, what are you working on?

[She was none the wiser.]

It's a... work in progress. [More like distraction device. At any rate, it looks like some kind of unfinished gun-cannon conglomeration that would be better seen in a sci-fi flick than a school, even this crazy one.] I'll probably have it dismantled again by Monday.

I see...

[The schematics and materials went right over his head. Weavile was hardly knowledgeable when it came to mechanics and technology, particularly weaponry.

He let out a thoughtful hum.]

Well, regardless whether you dismantle it or not, it's still impressive that you know how to put together and take apart something like this. I'm still astounded by the level of technology that many of the other staff and students use and build on a day-to-day basis.

While a lot of the technology on this planet is primitive to me, everything will still follow basic fundamentals.

Not unlike baking cookies.

[Weavile smirked at the latter comment.]

I suppose that makes sense. The fundamentals, as you said, may be the same, but I'm sure the actual process is different. To cook things over an open fire is different compared to using a stove or oven.

I can agree with that--for as little as I cook. [So modest, Samus. Barbecuing aliens while on the job isn't cooking.]

I didn't cook much before either. But living on my own, I can only stomach eating out or going to the cafeteria so often. [He shrugged.]

It's much easier than I thought it would be. I've gotten at least basic baked goods down. [He held up the cookies.] Took a few tries, though.

Experience is the best teacher, isn't it?

It truly is. "Practice makes perfect" after all.

[Weavile is just. going to subtly leave one of those cookie containers. on Samus' desk.]

Perhaps I should try a more challenging recipe next time. Rather difficult to get better if you don't push yourself to your limits. I know you said you don't cook often, but do you have any suggestions or recommendations?

[She sees what you doin' there Weavile. And she is saying nothing.]

...Barbecue meat. Any kind. [Something she actually hasn't done in forever.] While the weather's still nice out.
