I've-- Oh, wait. Hello Luceti! [Right, she can't just start talking like you do with Voxophones.]

I've recently, this past New Feather cycle, brought two more people into my apartment. Up until now I haven't been... cooking, exactly. [She's been eating whatever she can get ready-made, namely.] Does anyone have any... somewhat simple cooking recipes for two adult men and one slightly smaller girl?

And can someone explain to me how to work the oven...?

[Later in the day, Elizabeth ventures out to the grocery store to pick up things for her first cooking adventure! Though it's a trial, even at the store. Elizabeth keeps looking between different things and consulting her journal and looking back at the shelves... and frowning. Because this is all extremely complicated. No wonder this was done for her every day... This would probably take her weeks to figure out.]

[The journal is, to some extent, background noise. He keeps it open and listens to whatever he can while he works in the corner of the apartment that he's claimed for a desk. Notes -- both about Luceti and what he can remember of the Lutece Field and all of that work -- are spread out in a very ordered chaos.

So when he hears Elizabeth, he stops in his work. Not from the journal itself, no, but from inside the apartment.

He waits until she's finished before he speaks. ...Trying to ignore that she's reminded him he hasn't eaten today, which provokes the hunger that had come and gone some hours earlier.]

You don't need to worry about making food for us, Elizabeth. Couldn't you just hire a domestic? I'm sure the three of us could afford it.

[...After all, the Luteces were wealthy enough in Columbia to afford a pair of maids. One for the kitchen and one for basic cleaning.]

[He doesn't know how to feel about being here, much less having chicken wings. What he does know is that he will do almost anything to avoid spending too much time in the same room as Robert Lutece.

Call it paranoia, call it guilt, a ridiculous grudge - what have you. He didn't like the man, end of story. He was still anticipating the physicist and his counterpart to just...pop out of nowhere and be horribly cryptic and sarcastic. He didn't like that feeling.

Besides, he'd much rather spend time with someone he can be comfortable with. Which at this point, is Elizabeth exclusively.]

So...what're we here for again?

[This is him trying to be helpful.]

Do sandwiches and salads count as recipes? I know how one goes about making cheesestakes thanks to a friend of mine and surely a Caesar salad will be sufficient for a while.

{ Like Elizabeth, Addie here didn't know how to work an oven so she'll stay quiet about that one. Didn't really need to know.

If she was hungry back at the building and wanted something cooked for a quick meal, there was always someone there to cook for her because they liked her/took enough pity on her. Or she always went out to eat. } I think if I recall correctly, perhaps I know also a recipe for a type of soup.

[bided]

Well, that depends. What sorts of things do you all like to eat?

[ Because she has recipes, but. ]

And I'd be happy to show you how to work the oven. I'm not sure what sort of model you're working with, but the apartments have those big communal kitchens, don't they?

[Voice]

[rather_be_surfing]

I can provide some recipes at least. Any idea of what they like to eat? And you as well.

[towered]

Well, I don't really have any recipes, but working the oven is easy! You just need to turn the little dial all the way up, so it cooks the food quickly.

[ Don't listen to her, she's a terrible cook. ]

[folklorist]

[ Cooking you say? Helios has a knack for that most definitely. ] I have a few beginners cook books in the library if you'd like to stop by sometime and pick them up. I can put them off to the side for you if want.

[heartofthematter]

[Did someone say cooking.]

I can help out, too! I wouldn't say I'm an expert in cooking, but I've always found it fun and my mom's taught me a lot... You can make a lot of simple meals for three with rice, even just by putting cooked vegetables over it or a raw egg. When you mix it up it tastes really delicious...

[You can literally do anything with rice Diamond loves it.]

[handing]

Two new people? [Although it's been a very long time since she's spoken to Elizabeth, listening to the broadcast jogs Pepper's memories of her. She can see in her mind the woman asking about how the time differences work, along with life and death. The uncertainty she'd had about whether or not she and her friend had survived.

Maybe now she has those answers.]

I can help you out with that. The recipes and the oven bit. I've been learning how to cook myself. [Although she'd started off ahead of Elizabeth, since ovens weren't foreign to her even when she first started taking lessons with Eugene.]
