Second Floor Common Room, Tuesday Afternoon

[meepmeepmeep]

Right, so there was a food video that had been viewed 20 million times and was, sure, probably a crime against humanity and definitely a year's worth of calories, but it was also a Challenge and let's be honest, without shenanigans to set up this week, Beaker had way too much time on his hands.

So here he was, preparing to make barbecue chicken quesadilla pepperoni pizza pie wedges...deep-fried.

Shuri had come in as he was preparing the chicken and had already started filming this for Science. She was also taking bets on what would catch fire first, if anyone wanted in...

[OOC: Had to. Come give Beaker his big send-off before he goes off to become Dr. Honeydew's hapless assistant!]

Lana...had just wanted a sandwich or something.

Now she was standing and staring in horrified fascination.

[scoffs_at_tradition]

"It's like a slow motion trainwreck, isn't it?" Shuri said as Beaker carefully tossed the chicken breasts in a mixture of...something...and chucked it into a oven that he then turned on.

"Well, that's not going to be right," she muttered, shaking her head.

"I have no idea how to cook with these appliances," Lana confessed. "I'm mostly just wondering when we'll have to put out a fire."

[scoffs_at_tradition]

Shuri slid a piece of paper over. "Put down your guess!" she said. "Five dollar buy-in. He has oil out to fry something, so I'm betting on then."

[unusual_sith]

Lana laughed. "Well, if you've already got that one...is he using actual flames at any point?"

[scoffs_at_tradition]

"I would not put it past him, honestly," Shuri said. "Probably with an actual flame-thrower that he just pulls from his lab coat."

The physics of Beaker baffled her.

[unusual_sith]

Well, there was a broiling/grilling stage later; a flamethrower wasn't out of the picture.

"I'll choose that, then." She dug out a local five-dollar bill and wrote her name on the paper along with 'actual fire is used'.

Shuri grinned. "Pull up a chair and enjoy the cooking demonstration," she said as Beaker decided it would be faster to pull the chicken apart using a blender set on high and with the lid off.

"Ew!" she added, trying to duck the flying pieces.

[unusual_sith]

Lana pushed the chicken away from them with the Force. "Are there odds for the room being destroyed without fire?"

[scoffs_at_tradition]

"Not yet, but I'm beginning to think that was an oversight," Shuri said.

[unusual_sith]

"An extra dollar per furniture, cabinet, or wall?" Lana suggested.
