Game 2, Day 3

[kentucky_mcgiygas]

[ Did everybody sleep well? At promptly 6 AM, or at least what the tablets proclaim to be 6 AM, Ronald bursts in with the morning announcements. ]

Good morning, kids! Today we have a fantastic new game for you to play, and we think you'll have a lot of fun! It's fun, it's a classic, iiiiiiiiit's



[ The feed switches off, but only for a second before flicking back on so Ronald can add: ]

Oh, by the way, Seven died trying to escape.

Sure. But I don't feel like finding someone else, so feel like being cooked for? I promise I actually know what the fuck I'm doing.

[unexpectedboner]

Uh, sure. None of this stuff has killed me yet, your recipes probably won't do it. What's on the menu?

[jinglebros]

You tell me. I can cook a hell of a lot.

[unexpectedboner]

...Curry and rice?

[jinglebros]

We'll have to see if we've got the ingredients for that.

[ Off Santa goes towards the kitchen, assuming Junpei will follow. He's kind of wobbly on his feet. ]

[unexpectedboner]

[Follows, hands in his pockets]

It seems weird that we can mess around in the kitchens like this. Isn't that against like a million health codes?

[jinglebros]

Sure as hell is, but I doubt they even care.

[ They get there soon enough and he starts looking. Rice is easy enough to find, there's some Mcdonalds that have that! It's probably not quality, though. ]

Just be glad there's no rats.

[unexpectedboner]

Only in the burger meat, right?

[jinglebros]

Haha. [ Santa snorts. ] Just be glad the chicken is probably actually chicken, since you're about to eat it.

[unexpectedboner]

I guess beggars can't be choosers.

So how long have you been cooking stuff that's good?

[jinglebros]

[ Santa goes towards the freezer and eyes it before opening the door. ] Make sure this doesn't close, I've been stuck in freezers enough for a lifetime.

I probably got the hang of it around ten. It took me a couple years but I had to learn because otherwise we were going to keep eating crap unfit for human consumption.

[unexpectedboner]

Kids're pretty resilient, and mac & cheese can spread pretty far. At least, that's what I've found...

[jinglebros]

Sure, when you have a way to cook it.

[ Pauses and glances at him from the doorway of the freezer. ]

You never heard anything about our home life, did you?

[unexpectedboner]

No? Not really... I guess it was pretty, uh, non-traditional.

[jinglebros]

Something like that.

[ He gathers up some ingredients quick as heck and steps back out of the freezer. ]

If she didn't tell you she's probably embarrassed or some shit, I don't know.

[unexpectedboner]

I dunno if I ever asked. It might not have ever come up.

[jinglebros]

As a kid, it wouldn't have come up because we were hiding it. I mean now.

[ Cooking time~ He eyes the knife he needs to use and his shakey hands, then looks at Junpei. ]

Wanna help cut things up? I can do the rest.

[unexpectedboner]

Ssssure, I got this.

[he takes the knife?]

[jinglebros]

[ Santa lets him take it but hovers around like he's thinking Junpei's going to accidentally cut himself with it. santa why did you ask if you're going to do that. ]

[unexpectedboner]

[he does indeed handle the knife like he rarely uses one; hopefully you didn't need anything evenly sized or not crooked]

How big're these supposed to be?

[jinglebros]

Hey, don't handle it like that. [ He reaches out and adjusts Junpei's hold on the knife. ] There, better. Kinda make it twice the width of a fry.

[unexpectedboner]

[still uncertain and a little clumsy (but with more control than before the correction), he chops into long, wide strips]

Like this?

[jinglebros]

Yeah, that's good enough.

[ Santa gathers it all up and puts it in the skillet. ]

I'm not going to make it too spicy, you'd probably die with all you drank.

[ He actually sounds a bit apologetic for making him do that. Weird. ]

[unexpectedboner]

Kinda wish I'd eaten beforehand, but hindsight is 20/20.

[jinglebros]

At least you don't seem that drunk yet. You chopped okay, anyway.

[ Santa tries to start cooking but accidentally cranks the burner way too high without noticing. Good thing he hasn't put the skillet on yet.
