Angelic Chores

[can_not_fly]

[Yes, Pit may technically be High Captain and head honcho of an army, supposed to be treated with honors and generally on retain and free to do whatever unless there's an emergency...

...but he's spent the last twenty-five years of his life being the angelic equivalent to a combat butler to Palutena and fixing the continuous messes the Centurions

[Suddenly a new pair of hands are on the bucket. It's that girl you met when you first warped here Pit.]

Alright we'll pull together on the count of three!

Re: 4

[can_not_fly]

Okay! But watch out - if we pull too hard we might break it! [Pit is happy at the reinforcements, and readjusts his footing]
Okay, on three!
One, two-!
I'm not sure this is a good idea-
THREE! PULL!

[kamogawa_maru]

Roger that!

[On three Madoka pulls with as much strength as she could muster. What's the worst that could happen in a tug-o-war with a Metroid?]

[can_not_fly]

[You don't want to know, Madoka.

Thankfully, the worst doesn't happen. What does happen, however, is that the combined pull surprises the metroid, which, being a clumsy baby, forgets to continue exerting its flying pull from the startle! So suddenly there's absolutely no force to oppose the pull of both Pit and Madoka pulling with all their strength...]

WAAH!

[... sooo to the surprise of absolutely no one there they go tumbling back down the corridor.]

Is it really that surprising?

[Christine can't help but be amused at Pit's awe at the electric egg beater.]

...though, I can't say I wouldn't be in the same position you're in if I was like that.

1 actually, I presume.

[can_not_fly]

Well, we sure don't have any of these back at Skyworld. And it sure would have come in handy when trying to cook for everyone.
Most godly technology is more on the awe-inspiring side than the convenience side. I don't think Lord Dyntos would have been very enthusiastic about creating prototypes for a divine egg beater.
We could try asking him!
No, we don't want to do that. Trust me on this one.
Awwww... well, we can still take one of these! Or I can try to learn how these work myself!

Yeah, my bad XD;

[betterthnaliens]

Divine egg beater...

...that's actually a scary thought.

And using those things is easy! Just hold the button and put the beater deal in the mix! Simple!

[can_not_fly]

No, I mean, learning how they work, so I can make myself one when I get back home!
My, how suddenly ambitious. You never had much experience with technology.
Well, it's an egg beater, even if it's an electric one! How complex can it be? [Famous last words right there]

[Kazuki's just gonna watch a little in curiosity before leaving. But a few moments later he's back, holding a few ice cubes in his hands!]

I've heard these things don't like the cold very much... do you want help?

[can_not_fly]

[The baby metroid, completely unaware of what's coming to him from Kazuki's hands, is pulling harder, so Pit is split between wanting to match it and fearing he'll be left without a bucket and kind of floundering clumsily]

Would be much -hng- obliged! Hey, stop that! [To the little alien]

[possibly_here]

[Right then! And Kazuki's already putting the ice in a small compress and pressing it against the Metroid.]

Now... just settle down!

And if you... want another bucket we'll find you one!

[Damn, could these things even understand him?]

[can_not_fly]

[The effect is instantaneous. The little creature skrees in surprise and pain and retracts fast, leaving the bucket and retreating about two meters away]

Wow, thanks! I didn't know it was so easy-

[Pit interrupts himself when a powerful shriek comes from the metroid baby, as it goes basically vertical and tenses its claws, hissing. It's clearly very angry at the sudden cold suprise]

...uh, I'm guessing it doesn't usually do that?

Let me guess... You're making Angel Cake?

[can_not_fly]

One's going to be chocolate and the other's going to be cream and cherries, actually. That I'm an angel doesn't mean I'm a one-trick pony, you know!

[hobo_lantern]

Well, I just thought that because you're an angel, anything you do have 'angel' prefixes on them. Or should it be 'Holy'?

Like, you're not doing laundry, you're doing Holy Laundry. And that's a Holy Spatula you're holding.

[can_not_fly]

Well, I did suggest something like that! See, Lady Palutena?
And I told you already that it sounded stupid.
Aw.
