Agrias had enough of pirate fighting for a while, and she was ready to eat and drink in celebration. What she didn't expect was such a large feast.

"My, Aragaki seems to have outdone himself this time."

[haineko_ju]

Agreeing with the pretty blond nearby, Rangiku could only nod her head in agreement at Agrias' statement. It worried her slightly that the chef was hobbling about all day to create this elaborate feast but she knew that Shinjiro wasn't about to allow himself to be stuck in bed all day. That knee of his was in bad shape when Yuuko took a look at it but maybe now he was feeling a tad better. Still, Rangiku couldn't help but be worried about that silly but slightly courageous cook. Hopefully Aragaki won't be so brash to try and man the canons again by himself.

"Ne, is he always like this?" She asked Agrias with a little smile.

[stasis_sword]

Agrias turned around to face the woman. Ah, that was Miss Matusmoto, wasn't it? Agrias was relieved to see that she appeared to be all right.

"You mean doing things that are detrimental to his health? Yes," she smiled.

[haineko_ju]

She laughed lightly at Agrias' joke, glad to see she isn't the only one to notice how reckless that moody cook can be. "If that's the case, I might have to get Ichihara to take a look at him later after all the festivities." Rangiku knew that Yuuko could be trusted with Shinjiro, even if the healer's methods are less than orthodox at times.

"How are you doing?" Rangiku asked the other blond with a grin. Agrias looked rather well to her after surviving a few days of pure chaos. The Silvana was nearly done with most of it's repairs thanks to the slightly eerie dedication of the crew. However she honestly hoped that none of the officers aboard the ship were running themselves ragged trying to fix everything.

Joshua had kept himself scarce during the pirate attack. If they expected a non-fighting passenger to help out when he had paid for his safety. Joshua doubted it was something that would come up, regardless.

Food had been on the forefront of Joshua's mind, especially when it sounded like the Silvana's kitchen was going to be busy. He ended up arriving fashionably late to the dinner, but with so much food, Joshua didn't think he'd be missing out on much. So he settled himself down at an empty seat and reached out for the last piece of the black forest cake.

fffffffffff

[minibars]

Taking care of the cleanup was a grimy, nasty affair and really one of those duties that Mello preferred not to think about, even while he was doing it (luckily, it didn't require thinking much on any level)--he went through the motions and did what he could, anyway, and if anyone wanted to complain they could suck it up and clean the invisible spots themselves.

Really, did they have to get the gore on the ceiling? It was hell to clean out of windows, too. Fucking nasty, especially near the infirmary. One of these days, he was going to get Luppi back for getting him stuck there

SIGH FYRE STOP STEALTH TAGGIN'.

[daddys_bear]

Isshin went to the kitchens once he had dealt with the things that had needed his immediate attention. Fortunately, there hadn't been too many people injured in this attack - things should return back to a more normal pace in couple of days. After all this work, surely he must deserve a break of some sort; thus why he had decided to go into the kitchens once he heard the announcement through the journals.

Once there, he helped himself to some booze (a little wouldn't hurt after all) and some treats before wandering to the side and noticed Joshua as well as a blond that he couldn't quite recognize where from.. Isshin grinned as he went up to the other two and settled himself quite nicely beside Joshua and watched in slight amusement at the duo who seemed to be ready to fight for the last piece of cake while sipping from his booze.

It's part of her training to be a ninja :|b

[fallingjunkyard]

Joshua didn't really have time for the vague familiarity of the stranger's voice to sink in, or the familiar presense of Isshin; that stranger was after Joshua's piece of cake. His. If this same event had taken place back in Melior, in 'society', Joshua would have just let it go. But Joshua felt like something sweet, and this was just an airship. Ettiquette was far less needed in this kind of situation. And Joshua liked getting what he wanted.

So he completely ignored the outburst from the stranger and let his fingers quickly dodge under the stranger's hand, taking hold of the cake.

Hibari had just finished instructing (chewing out) one of the hands in the kitchen and sending him off with the dish before turning about, and noting the way Shinjiro Aragaki sat himself down.

"Congratulations?" the pilot wryly put in, with the barest trace of a smile on his lips.

[adiosasshole]

Shinjiro snorted, though there was the tiniest bit of a smile on his lips. A tired smile, but one all the same. "You did pretty good yourself." He replied, resting his chin on his palms and breathing a little heavy.

[icaruschmicarus]

"Kitchen duty isn't my favorite thing in the world, but you did say you'd help me out in the hangar."

The planes and flying mean a lot to Hibari, but that goes without saying. The pilot leans against the wall, looking off briefly towards the mess hall (crowd; uninteresting) before turning back and tilting his head at Shinji.

"You sound like an old man."

[adiosasshole]

"And I'll keep my word. I don't know shit about planes though."

Shinjiro snorted again, rolling his eyes to the crowd as well and watching his crewmates mulling happily. He would never admit it, but the sight pleased him. Though secretly, he was watching out for someone specific.

"Adrenaline plus no sleep will do that." He wasn't about to bring up his knee. No way in hell.

[brbharvesting]

Shinjiro would have to deal with other people being in his kitchen from now on. Now that the Silvana had two new cooks, he wouldn't be working alone anymore. And Toris was determined to help whenever he could.

It was difficult being new, though. Toris had Feliks with him, sure. But he also wanted to make more friends. Or at least be useful in some way. He sat at a table, finally resting after helping with the dinner, and looked around the room. Everyone seemed so relieved.

[why_halo_there]

Luckily for Toris, he wasn't the only new cook in the kitchens. While Hikari wasn't the most experienced worker on the sip, she had spent the last few weeks learning the ropes, and was finally getting used to the Silvana. Getting used to the head cook, however, was a different matter entirely...

Hikari set one last tray of food out, and plopped down at the table, right across from Toris. She had wiped the sweat away from her bangs before she noticed she wasn't alone, and nearly jerked in her seat. It didn't take long for her to calm down, though, and she smiled at her fellow cook.

"Hello there," she said, her good cheer making up for her lack of energy.

[brbharvesting]

"Hello," Toris chirped right back, smiling warmly. It had been incredibly hectic the past few days, so he was understanding of her exhaustion. Jumping onto a ship right before a pirate attack was rather unfortunate. But Toris and Feliks had lived. And they were still here.

"Thanks for all your help tonight." And every night.

HIT-AND-RUN THREADCRASH

[minibars]

[OOC: Reaction to this, and culminating here.]

"Give that back!" Disoriented as he still was to some degree, Mello had not by any means missed the smug little bastard swiping the disputed cake slice. Then, there was only one thing to do.

He half-stalked, half-ran after the offender, slightly slowed by the number of people still standing (why couldn't they just find a seat, stupid idiots in the way!) and furiously reaching for whatever he could grab to throw at Joshua's head.

... There might have been a flying buttered bread slice or so in there somewhere, Mello not even registering the somewhat odd pair of cooks as he stormed past them, or the destination of some of his off throws.

[lilshiro_kun]

Grabbing a plateful of food and several desserts Toshirou looked around for a place to sit and noticed that Aragaki was all by himself. Climbing into the chair beside him he started to eat in between sips of this odd fruity drink he'd found in the kitchen.

Hoping he'd been of some use in the kitchen he was surprised everything had turned out as well as it had. He'd made it a point to keep an eye on the desserts. Never really one for conversation he just sat quietly by the other man and watched all the other crew members talk and mill about.

[adiosasshole]

Shinjiro turned, arching a brow at Hitsugaya, then smiling slightly. He didn't say anything at first, simply reaching across the table to drag over a few bits of food for himself. He ate in silence for awhile, then turned to the other man.

"You were a lot of help."

[lilshiro_kun]

Toshirou arched an eyebrow right back at Shinjiro and went back to eating. He was glad he'd finally been of some use to somebody. Swallowing he took another gulp from his glass and set it down.

"I really didn't do that much. It's easy enough to follow a recipe." Nibbling on his food the boy kept an eye on the dessert table knowing exactly what he'd get when he was done.

[adiosasshole]

"It was enough, this many people... fuck." He shrugged, turning back to his food. "...you afraid it's gonna run off if you don't stare at it?" He quipped, smirking at Hitsugaya's stare down with the desserts.
