Sixth Floor Kitchen, Tuesday afternoon [9/22]

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

Hoshi had a craving for something sweet, and there was a recipe she wanted to test out. While tackling a easy recipe was no big problem for her, she figured she should put it to the test before writing her column for this week.

But when she got to the part where she had to slice the bananas, Hoshi had a weird flashback to her class earlier in the day. "Yeah," said Hoshi, giving a weird look to the banana in her hand. "Maybe I should have just stuck with plain old vanilla pudding."

[Open like an open kitchen!]

Hayley entered the kitchen, sniffing the air.

"...Awww, what're you making?" she asked.

"Banana pudding," said Hoshi, still giving the banana a funny look. "Or at least, that's the plan."

"Oooh, that's one of the best kinds," Hayley said. She hopped up to sit on a counter. "I'm not gonna be in the way, am I?"

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"Not unless you decide to sit in the middle of the pudding," snickered Hoshi. "You, uh, wouldn't mind slicing any bananas, would you?"

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

Hayley giggled. "That might be fun."

Whether this applied to slicing bananas or sitting in the pudding, she did not specify.

Hoshi hoped she meant the bananas, because the thought of handling them herself after her Sex Through The Ages class was really starting to freak her out.

"Knock yourself out then," she said, passing over the banana and a bowl. "How have you been, by the way?"

"Oh, I been just great," Hayley said. "My boyfriend broke his nose on a goose, though."

Yes, she was calling Cal 'her boyfriend'.

She picked up the bowl and banana and found herself a knife.

That Angela hadn't managed to get herself up to this floor since it's refurbishment was... well, just bad. She should be so much better at getting herself out.

But hey, now she did, people! "Hoshi," she greeted, grinning as she made her way over. "What you doing?" Other than 'cooking', because that was pretty obvious.

Hoshi had taken a while herself to check out the new floor and the kitchen.

"Hey Angela! I'm making banana pudding," she said, putting the banana down so she wouldn't have to look at it.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Ooh." Moving a little closer now to take a look. Sounded good. "I don't think I even realised we had quite such a good setup up here," she remarked.

"I had no idea, but this is great! I love having a whole brand new kitchen to play in," said Hoshi, grinning. "And it's been way too long since I've cooked up a storm for everyone. I'm starting small this time."

"I think the kitchens downstairs are closer to the level of my cooking anyway," Angela admitted with a bit of a laugh. "Microwaves and coffee pots and that's where I stop when it comes to kitchen appliances."

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"Now you have me wondering what can be made using just a microwave and coffee pot," said Hoshi, giggling. "I may have to do some research on the topic."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Microwave coffee-chocolate mug cake?" Angela tried.

Yeah, that was about the level of her cooking. Microwave mug cake.

Hayley waved from where she was sitting on the counter, cutting a banana for Hoshi.

"Hi!" she said.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela smiled, and offered a wave in return. "Hey! I'm Angela." Pretty sure she hadn't talked to the girl before and forgotten, so...

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"I'm Hayley," she said. "Nice to meet you, Angela. You a fan of bananas?"

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"I... wouldn't go so far as to say fan," Angela said, laughing a little. "But yes, I do kinda like them at least."

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"I ain't really had many," Hayley said. "But puddin'? Oh, banana puddin' is great."

"Hoshi! Hey, how's things?" Jack asked, walking into the kitchen. Nope. Still not Thursday.

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"Not bad," said Hoshi. "I thought I'd try out the new kitchen today."

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"Yeah? You like it? It's got so much stuff!"

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"It's always fun having brand-new appliances to work with," said Hoshi.

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"Yeah! Just...watch out for that pan-ninny maker, it'll get ya," he said. "And this kitchen...it's so big!"

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"What's a panninny maker and why do I need to watch out for it?" asked Hoshi, looking warily at Jack.
