[ 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.}

Todd, hi. [She smiles at him. At least she couldn't remember him seeing anything inappropriate in her dreams and that was something.]

I think it might not be much of an improvement over the raw version. Are you having better luck?

[ He snickers, and shrugs. ]

I guess I'll find out. Mine's not ready yet.

[ He took his time - too much of it, really. ]

I'm not all that hopeful.

It's fortunate there are robots here to cook for us if we need them. [Smiling and feeling good that she's not alone in this even though she'd be happy for him if he were better at the lesson!]

[ He snickers, quietly. ] It'd be nice to be able to cook something myself, but... well, in the meantime.

[ He is hopeful in a more long-term sense. Sort of. ]

Yes, that's true. I'd also like to be able to cook for others. I think that would be nice. Sharing food with people that they might really like.

That would be nice. Sort of... I don't know. Normal.

[Smiling.] You make normal sound like an unusual thing.

[ He gives a little shrug. ]

Isn't it? I mean, I was in the City for years and it wasn't really very good at it, and here we are in a prison under an ocean I've never heard of.

[ But he doesn't seem dismayed, not with the smile he's got. ]

All of it definitely isn't anything I thought I'd ever see.

[It's good to have all those smiles.] What sorts of things did you think you'd see? Were you in school at home? [These questions are related in her mind, okay?]

Yeah, I was. [ It makes sense, somehow, to him. ]

I'm not sure I'd ever given it much thought. All that was important was... doing well, doing what I was expected to do, and getting through high school and then into a university. I don't think I ever really got past that.

[She can understand that sort of thinking.] What were you expected to do? [Did it involve princessing, because she can really relate to that.]

[ Todd would have made the most magnificent and elegant princess, truly. ]

Whatever my father told me to do. Be obedient, study, get perfect grades. Try not to be an embarrassment to him, I guess.

[ There was a time when that list bit would have hurt to say, but the tone is sort of smirking. Because these days, his father's expectations seem irrelevant and superficial. ]

[That she could relate to. Have a thoughtful look.] Fathers can be very demanding.

[ He nods, his tone softening. ] Yeah, they can.

Was yours that way?

I didn't speak to him often, but he made his wishes for us known. [Yes.] It was harder for some.

[ Yeah, that comes across pretty clearly. He gives a small nod. ]

Well... I think what's important now, no matter where we happen to be, [ like prison ] is what we want for ourselves.

[info]friendly_fire

And what is it you want for yourself, Todd?

[ He shrugs there. It's surprisingly hard to answer that. ]

I guess... I just want to be happy.

I know that sounds pretty dumb.

No, I think that answer makes the most sense of all. I think you'll be able to find that here too. At least I hope so.
