[ 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.}

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

	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)

	kitty_phase 2014-06-24 02:22 am UTC (link)
	[She laughed a little.] Well, yeah. Knowing how to do something always makes it easier and better to do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mumbled_truth 2014-06-24 09:31 pm UTC (link)
	It usually helps. [ There's a sheepish smile there. ] Oh... I'm Todd, by the way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2014-06-25 07:13 pm UTC (link)
	I'm Kitty. It's nice to meet you. [Handshake?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mumbled_truth 2014-07-01 01:51 am UTC (link)
	[ With a smile, he does indeed shake her hand. ] It's nice to meet you, too, Kitty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2014-07-01 09:53 pm UTC (link)
	[She smiled.] Are you taking any other classes? Maybe we've got a few more in common. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mumbled_truth 2014-07-04 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	Not yet. Have any recommendations? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2014-07-09 04:39 am UTC (link)
	Well, I take the technology class, the economics class, the history class, the psychology class, the math class, and the dance class. [Yeah... she was into a lot of different classes.] Euphie's got a catalog for the school. They have extras in the main office, and the Post Office has them, too. I think they put them in the welcome baskets newbies get. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mumbled_truth 2014-07-13 09:56 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah... I just haven't decided on any others yet. [ Actually... ] There isn't anything for writing, is there? I didn't see anything listed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2014-07-17 04:21 am UTC (link)
	Mm... not yet. But, maybe if you asked Euphie about it, she might be able to find someone to teach a class like that. It would be fun to take. [Then again, most classes were fun for Kitty.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
