[ action | open | mingle style ] Cooking Class
[Piper had the cooking lab set up and ready to go. She was nervous as all heck, but she was as ready to do this as she was ever going to be. She found herself questioning why she was doing this, but no point in running that through her head now.]

Hello, everyone, and welcome to Cooking Class.

[She gave them all a somewhat nervous smile.]

This is a first for me, so I'm looking for a lot of feedback on this one. What are you interested in learning? What are you current skills? Stuff like that. We can do recipe courses, like what you see on a cooking show, or we can teach specific techniques for people who are looking for something more rudimentary.

[She picked up her apron.]

I have some extra aprons in the back, so grab one if you didn't bring your own. Cooking can get pretty messy, even when you know what you're doing.

[She put the apron on, and, while everyone was getting theirs, handed out a sheet of paper with a recipe on it.]

We're going to start with a simple recipe today so I can figure out where everyone is in their skill level.

{OOC: MINGLE IT UP!! I'll make a comment below so people can thread with Piper specifically. I'm also going to set up a feedback thread so characters can leave feedback. There's also a post on Piper's journal for the class where people can leave recipe requests for future classes, as well as questions for future classes about techniques.}

[ The apron is really what initially set off Todd's awkward anxiety, though being expected to cook is not something he's as comfortable with as he should be, considering how long he's been away from home. Which, of course, is exactly why he decided to drop in.

He frowns slightly at the recipe on the paper, studying it seriously before he even begins thinking about cooking it.

What? It's intimidating. ]

	How you doing? [Kitty watched him for a moment.] Trying to figure out where to start? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He shrugs, and gives a sheepish smile. ] Kind of just... making sure I understand everything before I do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2014-06-03 05:52 pm UTC (link)
	Have you ever cooked before? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mumbled_truth 2014-06-03 05:55 pm UTC (link)
	A little... but nothing all that complicated. Have you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2014-06-03 06:00 pm UTC (link)
	Same. I'm still learning. It kind of stinks that we haven't had a steady teacher here, yet. [Cooking seemed to be Marina's equivalent of a Defense Against the Dark Arts, not that Kitty would know about that specifically.] I'm hoping we can get a bit further along this time.

	Really? Did the other teachers leave? [ With a sheepish little smile... ] I haven't been here very long. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2014-06-06 02:59 am UTC (link)
	Sort of? They actually disappeared. It happens to people from time to time. [She shrugged it off like it was nothing.] When did you arrive? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mumbled_truth 2014-06-08 02:48 am UTC (link)
	Oh... yeah. [ That's not... terribly new for him, given where he'd been before coming here. He pauses at the question, just for a moment. ] I got here a little more than a week ago. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2014-06-09 05:32 pm UTC (link)
	[She gave him a small smile.] Yeah. It's pretty common around here. You'll probably see it unless it happens to you really quick. [She shrugged.] I've been here a while now, so I've seen it a few times. [More than a few, but... she hadn't kept an exact count. It was a little depressing.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mumbled_truth 2014-06-12 02:37 am UTC (link)
	[ He gives an absent nod. ] Yeah... it was kind of like that, where I was before this. I was there for a long time. [ So, at least, the adjustment hasn't been that rough on him. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2014-06-12 03:03 am UTC (link)
	Oh? Where were you before? [He had her interest now.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mumbled_truth 2014-06-15 10:53 pm UTC (link)
	A place called the City. It was kind of like this, I mean... not a prison, exactly, but it pulled people in from all kinds of different worlds and times. There wasn't any way to leave if you wanted to, but sometimes people would just vanish. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2014-06-17 03:17 am UTC (link)
	[She nodded.] You know, after being here a while, I'm not surprised more of those kinds of places exist. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mumbled_truth 2014-06-19 11:33 pm UTC (link)
	[ Todd shrugs, with a small smile. ] It did make ending up here a lot easier to deal with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2014-06-20 03:02 am UTC (link)
	I'd imagine so. [She smiled a little.] So, do you like cooking? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mumbled_truth 2014-06-23 11:38 pm UTC (link)
	It's... all right. I'll probably like it better when I'm a bit better at doing it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Neil is oblivious to how ridiculous his apron looks, and somehow he's already managed to get a bit of something on his cheek. He peers over Todd's shoulder at the recipe.] What do you think panko is? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[You're lucky he's not holding a spoon or anything to swat you, sir.] We've made it this far, Todd. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Hey, he's joking. Mostly. ] I know. I just think... any level of success will be notable. (Reply to this) (Parent)
