Now, really, Ryohei had to wonder about the teamwork of this ship more and more since the chase with those pirates. The gunners were not helpful at all! And now no one really seemed to believe him about the tea and the tea cakes, except Arietta. Though he didn't really like the idea of her helping and possibly being devoured by the yeast monsters he'd made, it seemed the only option he had at the moment.

Besides, he had faith that he could handle this extreme situation, with a little help from the crew! Despite the fact he was presently underneath the tea cake and it was out in the hallway now despite his best efforts. He also felt some tea sludge in his hair and this really was not his best day in the kitchen.

Of course, then he heard Arietta yell. It was muffled, but he could still hear it. "YOSH!!" muffled himself, he moved around, rolling to his back despite threat of smothering by tea cake dough, and punched upwards. The eruption of dough probably splattered all over the ceiling, thus spreading out with more room to grow, and he tried to climb out of the mess without being devoured again. "AH!! IT GOT OUT IN THE HALL!!!"

[aweebeastie]

"Ryohei!" Arietta cried out as she saw a blast of dough hit the ceiling and Ryohei emerge. He was alive! She felt relieved enough to cry, and she did cry a bit, as she felt her hand getting sucked in by the tea monster. "Ahh!"

She held onto the door frame for support and tried to pull her hand out. Stop it, you stupid monster thing! This was the strangest monster she had ever seen. It didn't move like a monster and it didn't eat like a monster. Where was its mouth? There was also the fact that it kept on growing. What kind of monster did that? It didn't help in the wild at all since then it couldn't hide and catch prey--

But somehow Arietta had a feeling this didn't matter. It was having an easy enough time eating her hand. "No!" she cried again. She was going to be eaten! Who would tell Sync?

Ffamran had been in the middle of fixing up an antique engine - which he had brought with him when he'd been reassigned - when Ryohei's 'alarm' had gone up over the journals.

He sighed and stalked out of his room, stopping by the engineering bay to pick up a blowtorch and protective eye wear. Regretting the complete lack of sensibility in the kitchen.

After his stop there, he headed towards the kitchen, mask on, prepared for whatever the hell that insane cook had managed to do. He got to the kitchen to see that cabin girl, Arietta crying 'no'.

"What is happening here?" He asked her, blowtorch in hand.

Peaking into the kitchen rather worriedly, Kiros had no idea why he agreed to help that crazy chef, Ryohei, with his crazy tea-cakes. He couldn't believe he was actually buying into this whole 'The Tea-Cakes are EATING my head' fiasco, but for the sake of some hilarity...the mechanic wandered into the kitchen with both eyebrows raised. After speaking briefly to Ryohei via journal, he decided maybe to try and be some help to stop the this chaos from brewing over even further than it needs to be!

"R-ryohei?" Standing by the entrance of the kitchen eying the mess of oozing dough that seemed to be flowing towards his direction. "...yuck." How can something as innocent as a cake end up like this horrid creation he saw before him now?! Kiros wouldn't even DREAM of eating something so awful, he was really beginning to wonder the sanity of that young chef...

[supernovae]

"Arietta!" Ryohei twisted around in the sea of dough, still waist-up despite his best attempts at perhaps climbing out of it and on top. Though he didn't seem to realize that would only result in sinking, he still attempted it until he heard her cry out. "AH! Hang on!"

The only priority he had now, since the dough and sludge and yeast had ended up in the hall, was to get Arietta out of it and prevent other victims. This was rather impossible at the rate it was going, but nothing was impossible to him. "This is extremely too much dough!"

With that said, he started to push through the dough, pulling and punching where he had to to get it out of his way. It still flew elsewhere, possibly to grow and consume something else, but he was getting closer to the hall and the girl caught in the catastrophe. His attention did go to Ffamran and Kiros after a moment, and he waved his arms emphatically. "Never let me use this much yeast ever again!"

[aweebeastie]

Arietta kept on pulling and she could feel her hand sliding out, just slightly. But it took so much effort and every time she stopped to rest the dough just pulled her hand right back in. Finally she reached down to try and pull her arm out with her other hand.

This proved to be a bad idea, as now both her hands were stuck in the dough and she was gradually losing her balance as it sucked her forward. No, no! There were other people here now, but she didn't count on them to save her. Only Ryohei or Sync would. Where was Sync? Even though she was on the same ship as him she barely saw him. Sync...

In the midst of letting her mind wander, her arms were being further pulled into the dough.

When von Karma saw the... "cook"'s journal post, he knew he was probably in for another disaster. Well, he wasn't really in any hurry to deal with the crew, especially after the recent complete failure. However, when he got close enough to hear the occasional screams, the fact that the situation had become disastrous became a certainty, and he picked up the pace quite a bit.

This was not helping his blood pressure or the chronic pain in his shoulder.

When he got to the scene, he didn't bother asking the mechanic or... the navigator that wasn't his daughter what the situation was, as it was fairly obvious and it was almost on his shoes euuurgh. As much as he wanted to yell at everyone involved, this would be counterproductive and he could probably do this afterwards.

After a cursory examination of the scene, he turned to the navigator.

"Refrain from using that, for the moment," he said, the barely contained rage in his voice audible. "One of you get the girl out of there. I can't be held responsible for the possible immolation of a minor."

[bunansajr]

Ffamran sighed and holstered the blowtorch. Orders were orders, he could burn the dough to a toast afterwards. He left his eye wear in place, though, one could never be too careful. He climbed over a few tendrils of dough that were laying, looking so innocuous, on the hallway floor and arrived at the side of Arietta who was still struggling with her fist stuck in the dough. How that had happened was beyond him.

"Arietta, it's Ffamran. I'm going to help you out of there."

Without any more preamble, he picked her up by the armpits and yanked backwards. The dough was much tougher than it looked, though, only giving up her fist with a great deal of effort. Eventually he managed to get her free and ended up falling backwards on his ass, Arietta falling towards him.

As soon as the Captain made his appearance here, Kiros found himself nearly mentally kicking himself for showing up here in all this chaos! He was quite sure by the expression on Captain von Karma's face, that they where all in some serious trouble thanks to the chef's antics! Sigh a bit in disbelief as he watched the young navigator help the pink haired girl out of the pool of dough, Kiros glanced over at Ryohei.

"Nice going, boy wonder." The mechanic replied rather sarcastically as glanced about through the messy as sin kitchen. Just when he was about to take a step away from the chaos, Kiros fond his leg stuck in the unsavory goop...

"Oh, this just gets even better!" He grumbled as he started tugging to get freed from the gooey slop.

[supernovae]

"Captain!" Ryohei shouted, both surprised and rather pleased. He didn't seem to register any doom on his life, despite taking note of the quite-there rage. It was, really, pushed aside when he saw Ffamran pulling Arietta out of the goop. Deciding to help, or attempt, he continued to trudge his way through the dough. The navigator did pry her out, but both of them were tumbling back.

"Yosh! Gotcha!" Though he couldn't nab Ffamran as well, he leaned forward enough to ensnare Arietta with one arm and save them from a very squashed end result. He lifted her up as high as possible--which wasn't difficult, considering how light she felt to him--and started to move his legs. They made a weird, squelching sound as he tried to pull them from the dough, stubborn to release him no matter how close to escape he was.

Glancing to Kiros, he actually frowned a little, but didn't retort and only resumed work on getting his legs free.

[aweebeastie]

Arietta was quite confused by the time she found herself in Ryohei's arms. First she was pulled out of the monster, which was good, but then she had been falling back and then she was quickly yanked forward again. Would it ever stop?

Arietta probably had a pretty foul look on her face by this time as she looked dwon at Ryohei. It wasn't directed at him, but at this entire situation. She really had no idea what was going on anymore.

"...Thanks." She tried her best to smile at Ryohei because he was nice, but she just really wasn't in the mood.

[karmauberalles]

That was probably the least graceful rescue von Karma'd seen, but there was no real time to complain. Not if he wanted to keep this monstrosity from invading the whole ship, anyway.

He nodded to the navigator. "Go ahead," he said, not particularly caring that the cook was still stuck in the dough.

[brewsyourface]

Sawaki was done for the day The injuries from the firefight with the 4423 had all been relatively minor and he was finished with his inspection of the ship.

He walked through the hallways, wondering what he was going to do with the rest of his day.

Something strange drifted down the hallway. The braided, yellow face of an A. Oryzae, the most common brewing microbe showed itself and waved to him.

Then another. And a dozen more.

Curious, he began walking towards the source of them. As he did, they increased in number exponentially. By the time he reached the kitchen, he was walking through a thick cloud of them, frantically trying to wave them away.

Barely able to see, he threw open the kitchen door. "Who's overbrewing?!" He asked to the vaguely human shapes in the midst of the microbes.

[bunansajr]

Ffamran watched as the dough ballooned out further coming up to hit his feet and latched on to his shoes. He shuffled backwards, leaving his shoes in the dough and clicked on the blowtorch.

He grabbed Arietta again, this time around her waist and started to pull. "Let go of her you fool!" He growled at Ryohei. He hesitated, if von Karma was right he could end up incinerating the dough, Arietta, Ryohei and maybe even Kiros.

He winced behind his mask and set the torch up against the dough, hoping for the best.

[the_katals]

This was all in-between comical satire and utterly chaotic! It seemed that nearly everyone there was being sucked into the girth of 'the dough monster' as Kiros so cleverly decided to nickname the goo. He found himself nearly chuckling at the sight of the navigator fussing and fighting the beast, that is until the other used the flame torch on them all! "HEY WATCH WHERE YOU ARE POINTING THAT THING!" Kiros yelled at Ffamran with a slight growl, he wasn't too keen about being baked along with this nasty dough monster!

"Go easy with that, okay!?" He grumbled as he yanked out his daggers from his pockets. Starting to slice at the dough while the others continued to fight it, Kiros heard Sawaki wander in to the kitchen. "Hey! Stay back, okay? This stuff is really sticky!" He warned the other.

The last thing they needed was another person stuck in this thing!

[supernovae]

Flashing a quick smile up at Arietta, Ryohei nearly fell forwards when Ffamran went to retrieve her. He did let him have her again, if only because he had to catch himself before he ended up colliding into a part of the dough in front of him that still encased his legs. He definitely didn't want her to get stuck in it again, and he didn't want to stay stuck in it himself. He disregarded von Karma's apparent attempt to incinerate him with the dough as he finally pulled a leg out, and started work on the other one.

"Ah, captain!" he yelled once he got his other leg free, stumbling forwards. Now that he was out of the dough, he scrubbed at the tea sludge and cake goop that was in his white hair, managing to get a great deal of it out. Shaking his hand to get it off, but looking at von Karma, he kept a frown. This was one of the few moments where he actually thought about the end results. "This might be an extremely bad idea! There's lots of metal, but still stuff that could catch fire if you aren't careful!"
