Everybody who heard the smoke detectors sounding from a couple of apartments in Building 7, not to worry!

It's all under control.

Just for some reason I had this sudden urge to bake a cake.

...

Maybe the deities will want it?

You know, I think I might try to bake another one!

EDIT:

2/2, Jack is going to make Ianto's eyes roll out of his head.

[king_coffee]

Don't move. I'll be there in fifteen minutes.

You still love me though, right?

[handsomejack]

But ... the smoke?

Right now that's debatable.

[king_coffee]

Don't open any windows, it may cause a fire to ignite.

Just... make sure there's no fire, walk out and shut the door.

Fifteen minutes.

But but ... wibble?

[handsomejack]

Okay ...

It will have to be a lot of wibbles...

[king_coffee]

*Fifteen minutes later...*

Ianto opened the front door carefully, heaven knows what Jack could have gotten up to in fifteen minutes.

"Jack?"

Wibblewibblewibblewibblewibblewibblewibblewibblewibble!!!

[handsomejack]

*From the smell of things in the apartment??*

I'm in the kitchen, Ianto.

*Comes a somewhat sheepish voice. Jack is indeed in the kitchen. The kitchen which is floor to ceiling splattered in dough -Jack learned why you never turn a beater on full blast- flour -same issue with the beater- egg -beater again- and lingering smoke.

Jack himself, was sitting in the middle of the floor in front of the open over door. He was coated in half baked batter, the stuff was in his hair, down the back of his neck, across his face, down his shirt ... yep, coated in it. It sort of looked like the man had tried to save the cupcakes only to have a few explode on him.

...

At least, we'll hope it's gummie bear in his hair. The oven, was best not looked at directly, sort of like Medusa ... it might turn you to stone.

Jack waves melted gummie bear battered fingers at Ianto.*

I didn't touch the coffee machine?

Face Meet Palm

[warped_inside]

Mostly Tosh considered herself a relatively brave person. But even she wasn't willing to investigate the kitchen without backup.

She poked her head out of the workroom when she heard Ianto's voice. "If he asphyxiates, there won't be any more burnt cakes," she offered.

So helpful, that Tosh.

...now? There aren't enough wibbles in the WORLD.

[king_coffee]

For a full minute, Ianto stands there, staring at the mess, not moving a muscle.

All of a sudden, though, it's as if he springs into life.

"Out, out!" he said, waving his hands at Jack, trying to direct him towards the door, "out of here and into the shower!"

No, he did not want Jack's help cleaning this up.

At least Tosh was around for some sanity.

"Do you have a step-ladder?" he called to her.

Meep!

[handsomejack]

Jack cringes, though his blue eyes are really having a hard time not expressing a certain level of devilish merriment as he blinks owlishly up at Ianto.

"I .. uh, can't," quiet. "My pants are sort of stuck to the floor?"

You know, due to dried melted gummie bear.

"Wouldn't you like to join me in the shower?"

...

It's Jack, he can't not make offers like that.

And to think it seemed like such a harmles curse

[warped_inside]

"I'll fetch it," Tosh answered, hurrying off to get the ladder and hence avoid getting splattered by little bits of Jack-goo. Because really, she didn't want to ever be the focus of that look on Ianto's face.

"Vinegar!" she called out behind her. "And baking soda."

This put Ianto in a Bad Mood.

[king_coffee]

"Then take off your trousers and walk to the bathroom. I know you have no problem with nudity, and you'll be safe while Tosh is getting the ladder."

Clearly, Ianto was in no mood to join Jack in the shower, and he wasn't likely to be until the kitchen was clean. And that's Ianto-standard clean.

"No Jack," he said, his voice calm, "I have a kitchen to clean."

He knew Jack was cursed and it wasn't really his fault, but still! Look at the kitchen!

He'd make it up to Jack later.

[ooc: Question! Which kitchen did Jack destroy?]

At least gaffer tape wasn't involved?

[handsomejack]

Properly chastised, Jack wriggled out of his slacks and with a sheepish little smile at Ianto, he started for the kitchen door way.

"I'll come back and help?" Offering!

[ooc: The main kitchen. The other two kitchens have sort of been made into a 'workroom' and a 'hot house'. ;)]

Things Tosh doesn't need to see.

[warped_inside]

Too bad the stepladder was in a pretty easily accessible place, because this meant Jack had just enough time to get half-naked and step into the doorway when she returned.

"Jack! Pants!"

Tosh clapped her hand over her eyes. Not that it wasn't a damn nice view or anything, but hello! Boss and big brother type there!

Good thing it wasn't.

[protect_them]

Gwen just couldn't help herself. She'd been smelling the impending disaster for a while now, and she finally had to go peek in on what was going on (peek being the key word).

"Has he burned down th... oh, good Lord, Jack.... Are you trying to kill us all?"

There would be no end to Ianto's anoyance.

[king_coffee]

Ianto took the ladder off of Tosh with a thank you, waved a quick hello to Gwen and then shut the door. Firmly.

Give him half an hour guys, he might accept some help, then.

[ooc: Thanks! Tag on a little while without him or choose to try and get in the kitchen, your choice >D}

Arse wriggle!

[handsomejack]

"I'll be in the shower," said with an 'oopsie' sort of grin to the two ladies as he turned and headed his sticky self down the hallway towards his room.

There might have been a cheeky little butt wriggle as he went!

[ooc: Jack is OMG hiding!!! ;D]
