[ Unbeknownst to Orihime, her device has turned itself on right in the middle of her attempt to "refine" her cooking skills. It's on the kitchen counter, amongst a sea of open cook books and miscellaneous ingredients. There is a clear view of Orihime standing before the stove, peering into a large pot. Her long red hair is pulled back into a

[Amused.

Oh, but of course it doesn't leak into his emotionless tone.]

What is that you're cooking?

[ jlakJSLAJSALK Orihime nearly drops the spoon into the pot in her shock. It's already been a couple of days here but she still isn't used to the way her device seems to have a mind of its own.

She peeks at it, squinting at the blank screen save for the name that pops up. Oh! Someone new~ ]

Ah, hello! It's a stew~ I'm applying for a chef position, so I thought it'd be a good idea to sharpen my skills.

Was that chocolate?

[No judgmental tone or uncertainty. Merely. Asking. And oh, he's aware exactly of the apparent ingredients, but he's surprised to find a particular sugary substance has remained in existence. L must share the curiosity.

And the names. Gau. Raikou. They're familiar, though it was never quite a personal familiarity. Perhaps they recall that world as well? Not that it's a matter of concern.]

Yes! [ Orihime happily holds up a chocolate bar. With almonds. ]

Milk chocolate, the most popular~

[Ezio is silent, simply watching with curiosity as she cooks. When she says cinnamon, his expression changes into one of confusion. Then, the addition of some asparagus and ginger bring forth an expression of caution.]

[ Unfortunately, Orihime doesn't notice Ezio quite yet, too busy fluttering around the little kitchenette to look for more ingredients. Now where is that bag of snow peas... she knows she put them here somewhe--

ah! There~ ]

[eagle_bloodline]

[He's still silent, a little mortified.]

Orihime...

*Soul-pinged. By the ginger. This is something she should ignore. But. The ginger.*

... Do you think that'll be enough, y'know?

[ permavideo~ ]

[unifying]

--eh?

[ Blink blink. OHEY how long has that thing been on ajsldkjal ]

Ah! H-Hello, I--

...what will be enough?

[ permavideo~ ]

[evil_groupie]

Hi Hi~

*flips on her own little video feed--have a cautiously interested face, good Orihime.*

Hiroin believes in everything made with care having a good little kick. They'll thank you for it.

[unifying]

[ Orihime considers this. ]

That's true! We need to get their tastebuds excited! [ Dumps some more ginger in. 8| ]

Thank you~

[uselesscigfiend]

... are you quite sure you know what you're doing, Miss?

[He's horrified, oh yes. Quite horrified.]

[unifying]

[ --? Oh for the love of. This thing needs to stop malfunctioning on her!

But ohey it's you! Nevermind her cooking for two seconds here. ]

Ah, hello! Did you find your master~? [ While she adds a handful of sprinkles into the mix. ]

[uselesscigfiend]

[He's watching the cooking fiasco in horror. But of course the mention of his master is the most distracting thing of all, for Gilbert.]

I did, actually! Thank you! It turns out he was just a few doors down from me, and I just didn't know it.

[unifying]

Ah! That's great! Now you can feel a little closer to home, ne? [ Stir stir stir~ ]

--by the way, I don't think I ever got your name before... I'm Orihime!

[At first he thinks she might be making a cake. But then, he sees asparagus going into the pot. And chocolate. And-

This cannot be allowed to go on.]

Inoue.

[ That voice-- ]

--ah! Kurosaki-kun! [ DROPS EVERYTHING to rush over to the device, a flush on her cheeks. ] H-How are you?

[conqueredhero]

[NO DON'T LET THE 'FOOD' BURN!]

I'm alright. But, uh, what are you making over there? [Really, he's got a look on his face that's a mixture of concern and curiosity.]

[unifying]

[ ICHIGO > EVERYTHING EVER. ]

Oh! Stew~ I'm applying for a job, Kurosaki-kun! So I have to practice, see?
