[05:23] -- chicaneAgamemnon [CA] began pestering gutsyGelogenic [GG] at 17:23 --
[05:24] CA: vwell hey there. ready to havwe your mind blowvn vwith my cooking?
[05:25] GG: I take it that you have spent every waking hour since our last conversation perfecting your already so peerless skill?
[05:27] CA: sure if you vwant to believwe that.
[05:30] GG: I will believe nothing until I taste what you have for me.
[05:30] GG: What is on the menu, good sir?
[05:40] CA: bread pudding. because its bread and pudding.
[05:41] GG: Bread pudding?
[05:59] CA: yeah bread pudding.
[05:59] CA: havwent you had bread pudding before?
[05:59] GG: Frankly, I have not heard of bread pudding before.
[06:12] GG: Oh yes, I just never assumed you would know how to make it. Least of all consider it a possibility.
[06:30] CA: heh, right? its going to be amazing. come ovwer here and try it already.
[06:32] GG: Why, you impress me! Did you make it already?
[06:43] GG: Then I shall be over in a moment.
[06:43] GG: Do not move an inch.
[06:47] CA: oh dont vworry, im not going anyvwhere.
[06:50] GG: Good. I will see you in a second.
[06:51] GG: *Sure enough, there is soon a knock on the door. Whoever could that be? Could it be that it is Jane Crocker waiting at the door? If that was Cronus' guess then he was completely correct!*
[06:57] CA: *OPENS that door and he's SORTA dressed nicely.... in that he's wearing slacks. He's not wearing a shirt, though* hey you got here quick.
[07:00] GG: *Oh shucks. Was she meant to dress fancy for this? She is just her regular amount of dolled up, but is wearing dress pants rather than a skirt. She really has taken to wearing that lately.* Why, of course I am. Don't you think I wanted to see your bread pudding for myself?
[07:08] CA: heh, speaking of.
[07:08] CA: *steps out of the doorway and shows her to a table he has set up where there's a REALLY 8IG 8OWL of.... what looks like plain ol' pistachio pudding with chunks of bread shoved into it*
[07:13] GG: *For a second she almost thinks this is going to turn out better than expected, but then she looks at the product Cronus has made.Yup. Yes. That is pretty much what she had expected. She can hardly keep herself from laughing, holding back a snort with her hand* Gosh, what is that there? Is it pudding?
[07:14] CA: its bread pudding. dont you remember? vwowv, jane, and you call yourself a chef, it should be obvwious vwhat it is.
[07:17] GG: *She looks at him. And she looks at the pudding. And she looks at him and just smiles*Cronus, are you sure you read the recipe right?
[07:46] CA: *cocks a brow* vwhy vwould i need a recipe for bread pudding?
[07:50] GG: *She shakes her head, massaging her left temple for a moment* Do you know anything about cooking?
[07:51] CA: vwoah, arent you seeing this right here? *gestures at that bowl of pudding*
[07:55] GG: That is exactly what I am doing. *This is not going to be easy*
[07:55] GG: To be frank, Cronus, that is not bread pudding.
[07:59] CA: havwe you nevwer had bread pudding before?
[08:02] GG: That I have. Thus, I have to tell you that this is not it. *Pity pat on the shoulder* It was good for your first try!
[08:10] GG: *Pat pat* I could teach you how to make it if you want.
[08:12] CA: youre not evwen going to TRY mine?
[08:14] GG: *But it looks so weird! She is a sweets connoisseur, and this does not seem gourmet.* It was just a suggestion for next time.
[08:18] CA: nyeh, fine, next time then.
[08:18] CA: but seriously, try my pudding.
[08:19] GG: *This is going to be painful, isn't it? But he seemed really proud of this dumb looking pudding for some reason* I assume you have already tried?
[08:19] CA: vwell yeah, i had to make sure it vwas tasty. and im still standing so you knowv i didnt poison it.
[08:19] CA: unless you need me to try it right in front of you.
[05:57] GG: *She struggled not to sigh, and quickly put on another smile* A lady of my standing must be suspicious. If you taste it for me I will be sure it's not been tampered with.
[06:09] CA: fine, since youre so suspicious ill taste it vwhile youre vwatching right here.
[06:09] CA: *sits down and grabs the spoon, staring jane right in the eye*
[06:10] CA: *digs it into the pudding* *gets a scoop*
[06:10] CA: *shoves the spoon in his mouth*
[06:10] CA: thats some good bread pudding.
[06:14] GG: Is it truly? Shucks, how silly of me not to trust your incredible cooking skills. *She sits down opposite him, looking at the pudding with quite some hesitation. She does not want this atrocity in her mouth*
[06:25] CA: yeah see? givwe it a go. *HANDS OVER THAT SPOON*
[06:27] GG: *She stares at the spoon as if it was hellspawn, then at Cronus, then at the spoon again, and wearily takes it. Take a hit for the team Jane. What team? The general Jane team, consisting of only Jane. She is taking the hit for that team* I suppose I must. You did cook for me after all.
[06:30] CA: *LEANS IN, pressing his hands to his cheeks in anticipation for her to try it*
[06:32] GG: *Cronus don't. Don't look at her. She is getting so uncomfortable, and this smile can only stay on so long as she dips the spoon into the mess that pretends to be pudding*
[06:33] CA: *LEANS IN EVEN MORE*
[06:37] GG: *How long is his neck. Stop stretching it, Cronus. Her hand is trembling a bit, every fiber of her being protesting this goop being consumed. There she goes, lifting the spoon again. Pudding and bread pieces floating atop it. This was the worst thing she could think of eating*
[06:41] GG: *Here it goes. Here comes the spoon. She barely even opens her mouth and takes the tiniest piece of bready pudding into her mouth. It's over soon...*
[06:44] CA: *it tastes like your typical pistachio pudding. The bread is just soggy bread*
[06:45] GG: *The soggy bread RUINS it*
[06:45] GG: *She swallows though, and managed not to faint from this horrible experience*
[06:46] GG: Well, it could have been worse.
[06:46] CA: vwowv, not sure howv i feel about that halfassed compliment.
[06:47] GG: The pudding is very nice, but the bread is taking it a tad too far.
[06:49] CA: but its bread pudding, its a real dessert. psh, and you call yourself a baker. *crosses arms and leans back*
[06:50] GG: *She shook her head. He really was impossible* I know you worked hard, but this is just pudding with bread in it. That is not bread pudding.
[06:56] CA: fine, if youre such an expert, showv me this so called REAL bread pudding.
[06:59] GG: Will you allow me to use your kitchen, darling? *She puts so much emphasis on the darling that it becomes utterly ridiculous*
[07:00] CA: psh, fine, if it makes this vwhole ordeal faster. *waves a hand dismissively*
[07:03] GG: *She gets up from the chair and decaptchas her apron, putting it on quickly before she heads to Cronus to pull him up from his chair* Now, you observe, and next time you can impress everyone with how great you are.
[07:07] CA: *rolls his eyes a little bit gets up and walks over to WATCH THE MAGIC* yeah, sure, kitten, vwhatevwer you say.
[07:09] GG: *Pokes him in his perfect rock star side before she starts to get the ingredients out. Seeing her cook can almost be likened to magic, so he is not far off* That's the right spirit.
[07:17] CA: are you SURE youre making this right?
[07:19] GG: *Everything is going very smoothly here!* I am perfectly sure. Are you taking notes, my model student?
[07:19] CA: yeah in my head. *leans against the counter and pulls out his E-CIG*
[07:28] GG: *Well, no smoking in the kitchen does not count when it's just oddly flavoured nicotine steam, so Jane lets it slide.* This is my great grandmother's recipe, so you are not going to find a copy anywhere. *She puts the batter in the oven and starts cleaning up the counter*
[07:35] CA: *it's sTRAW8ERRY SHORTCAKE flavored, too* *puffs on it and lets the steam come out through his gills* right, of course it is.
[07:38] GG: *That smells delicious actually!* Did you think Crocker allowed all their best secrets out? The cookbooks are only half the story. *She finished cleaning up aand turned to him* Is that a new pipe?
[07:48] CA: hell yeah it is. impressed? *GRINS and puffs again* its steam too so no gill burn.
[07:51] GG: Oh, I am very impressed. What a nifty little doohickey to smoke. *She leaned closer to have a better look*
[08:06] CA: right? it vwas practically made for me. vwell, it actually VWAS made for me. its got custom mods and evwerything.
[08:07] GG: *She cocks a brow* You had an electronic cigarette custom made? Why the heckles would you do that?
[08:16] CA: because its cool? and any SERIOUS vwaper gets a custom cig?
[08:18] GG: It is the first time I have ever heard of such a thing. *She captchas her apron again*
[08:19] GG: This should take a short while, so we might as well get comfortable.
[08:26] CA: vwell that makes you more in the knowv nowv that ivwe told you. *moves for his bed and flops down AND RELAXES*
[08:28] GG: *She stands by it and just stares at him. What a lazy doofus he was* I may not have meant that comfortabl.e
[08:28] CA: awv come on, sit here vwith me.
[08:50] GG: *She shakes her head, but complies and sits down on the edge of the bed. That will have to be enough. -
[04:03] CA: *rolls over and wraps his arms around her waist anyway*
[04:07] GG: *She sighs, as if she is annoyed at this, but allows his hand there. It wasn't really that bad to be honest. She put her hand over his though, just to let him know she could pull that away at any moment* No funny business.
[04:08] CA: nothing funny about this is there.
[04:10] GG: No, not particularly. Though I know you're a funny bird if I ever did meet one. *She reached to poke him right on the nose. No boops. Just an internal boop. Hah*
[04:16] CA: *WRINKLES his nose* im not funny, im completely serious in evwerything.
[04:18] GG: *No. That was cute. Damn you Cronus!* *She mock pouts at him* Well, that's a right pickle. If you cannot be funny, then what is there to enjoy?
[04:28] CA: my dashing good looks and my charm.
[04:29] GG: There is no charm without humor, prince bore. *pat pat on the hand*
[04:36] CA: pft as if i believwe that *GRINS and gives her a squeeze, and tries to bury his face in her side*
[04:38] GG: *No that tickles, and she ends up wiggling away* Shucks, no! You are not doing that.
[04:42] CA: awv, come on. im trying to dote on you.
[04:50] GG: Dote while not tickling, if you would please. *Her sides are like portals to ticklish hell*
[04:56] CA: someones super ticklish. tickling vwasnt evwen the point.
[05:00] GG: Then I forgive you for your treacherous assault on my delightful person. *She snorts like a dumb, and looks towards the oven. Nope. Still a while*
[05:11] CA: *pokes at her side this time, PURPOSELY trying to tickle her this time*
[05:13] GG: *SQUEAKS like an idiot and scampers away from him, almost falling off the bed* Don't you dare, SIR.
[05:17] CA: *GRINS devilishly* *swoops in for more pokage* i do dare.
[05:20] GG: *She almost kicks towards his face, but fails! Oh no, Jane is in for torture of the third kind!* I'm disowning you! I swear to shucks!
[06:29] CA: yeaaah i really doubt that. *SHIT that was a close one though. He starts POKING THE HELL OUT OF THOSE SIDES*
[06:31] GG: *No, now he has done it! The hoohoos are escaping and the Crocker is a wriggling, kicking mess of impossible escape. This is the worst thing that could happen today!* No, I am serious! *squeaks* You are grounded!
[06:50] CA: yes, kitten, ground me hard. im totally into that. *POKE POKE POKE*
[06:52] GG: *There are very few intelligible noises coming from her by now, just a ton of keymashing voiced by a squaky laughy lass, trying to kick off a huge dumb fish*
[06:52] GG: No more! I'm arresting you! Treason!
[06:58] CA: vwheres your handcuffs, copper?
[07:02] GG: *She's doing a barrel roll in an attempt to get off this god forsaken bed!* I don't need cuffs for the likes of your scofflaw self!
[07:04] CA: *OMG he trips as he goes after her and falls flat on his face with a WHUMP*
[07:06] GG: *Idiots on the floor alert! She sits up and scampers away, staring at him* You had it coming!
[07:08] CA: vwowv, im SUFFERING nowv. *tries to pick himself up but is really awkward looking as he does it*
[07:10] GG: Serves you right for your misdeeds. *She stands up now, mostly to protect her ticklish sides from further assault, then holds her hand out to assist him. Hey, she is not a complete grump*
[07:12] CA: *:O* *he's totally taking that hand and starts pulling himself up* im givwing you a break from it for nowv but only because youre helping me up.
[07:14] GG: I never knew you were such a decent fellow. *She teases, then turns to the oven to see how long the tickling had gone on*
[07:18] CA: *it's probably about done, but regardless, cronus is moving to his pudding bowl and eating some of it*
[07:18] CA: howv vwouldnt you knowv?
[07:18] CA: vwowv, im offended.
[07:19] GG: Tsk, tsk, Cronus. You should not be! *She hurries to the oven to get the pudding out, setting it on the counter to cool off a bit as she tidied the rest of the kitchen*
[07:40] CA: vwell. ill admit that does smell pretty good.
[07:41] GG: Of course it does. It is a secret Crocker recipe, only for the top grossing bakeries. *Was she a walking advertisement? Yes. Yes she was* Perhaps his highness would like a bite?
[08:02] CA: sure ill havwe a bite and see howv it compares to mine.
[08:02] CA: ill TRY to be fair.
[08:03] GG: Oh, do try, mr. Skepticism. *She got a plate and scooped up a nice portion for him, then one for herself and handed it to him. This is gonna be good Cronus. Just wait*
[08:09] CA: *he sniffs at it before picking up his spoon again and.... oh. That dessert he just put in his mouth is GLORIOUS* *his fins visibly perk up*
[08:10] GG: *She notices. By gosh is that cute. Cronus, don't be so cute! You are making Jane flustered* *She noms on some of hers, taking her sweet time* Mmmhh... Let me hear what the majestic fish lord has to say.
[08:26] CA: *looks at her through another mouthfull of pudding* ... *swallows* fine its good.
[08:26] CA: better than mine.
[08:33] GG: *Ahhhh yes that feels good. Say it again!* *She manages to not look TOO proud of that compliment. But dang, she is proud* Yours was not half bad, mind you. There is just no beating a Crocker classic.
[08:36] CA: *he can't stop shoving pudding in his mouth* i vwill say im not sure howv this counts as bread pudding though.
[08:41] GG: This is how it is meant to be, no questions asked. *She shrugged. It was really obvious to her that this was right, so why not to him?* I am flattered that you like it, regardless.
[08:42] CA: *KEEPS ON EATING THIS he can't stop*
[08:42] GG: *It is a curse. The curse of perfect baking. Aaahh she is so proud*
[08:51] CA: *he's going to eat all of the serving she gave him before sitting back* youre going to make me fat vwith cooking like that.
[08:53] GG: *She just gave him a toothy smile, all before taking a good bite of her pudding* Mhhh... But you will be so happy with your chubby tummy. Because you get to eat this every day. *She teased. WAs he really fond of sweets?*
[08:59] CA: i dunno about HAPPY about it but... *hungrily eyes the pudding that's left* *these trolls and their sweet tooths*
[09:04] GG: *She takes note and tilts her head in that direction* Just help yourself. It is mostly for you after all.
[09:07] CA: dont mind if i do. *gets up and just grabs the whole thing of it to sit back down with it and immediately starts digging in*
[09:13] GG: *Gosh that is adorable. Don't mind if she just stares at him with glee, admiring him for once. Why? Well, he just seemed genuinely pleased and that was making her really happy* You sure do have a sweet tooth.
[09:35] CA: *looks up at her* is there a problem vwith havwing a svweetooth? *seems GENNUINELY concerned about this answer*
[09:37] GG: *She shook her head and snort giggled like a doofus* You are dating a Crocker, and yet asking that question?
[09:44] CA: okay, that vwas pretty stupid. *eat eat* yeah ivwe got a HELL of a svweetooth. it sometimes seems like svweets are all i CAN eat, you knowv?
[09:48] GG: As a spokesperson for Crockercorp, I'd tell you to eat nothing but sweets. *She admitted, taking another bite of her pudding* Yet, as your.. *clears throat* girlfriend *Gosh that felt weird* I think you should eat more stuff than just that.
[09:52] CA: *raises a brow* like vwhat? that gross human plant crap?
[09:56] GG: Yes, the human plant doodad. *She said firmly* Perhaps some meat if we have it.
[09:57] CA: meats fine, especially if its fish. *nomnomnom*
[10:00] GG: Then eat more fish and greens. Fruit is also very good for you, and sweet. *Noms but finishes soon*
[10:05] CA: *scratches his chin* yeah thats true on the fruit thing. *eat eat eat until there's none of that bread pudding left, and he's feeling pretty full* vwowv, i might need a nap or something.
[10:10] GG: *She snorted* It must have been really good if you need to rest. Though, a nap does not sound half bad.
[10:12] CA: *waggles his brows some* does that mean youll be sticking around?
[10:15] GG: Perhaps it does. Though I'm staying for naps, mind you.
[10:20] CA: good enough for me. *GETS UP and goes over to lay down on the bed*
[10:21] GG: *She gets off the chair and gathers up the plates and the pudding form that Cronus had eaten from, tidies it over to the washer and THEN goes to lay down with him* Shucks, this bed is too comfortable for you.
[10:26] CA: yeah im totally going to try taking it vwith me to the newv vwessle.
[01:22] GG: *She snorts at that comment, then pulls one of his pillows down to lay on in the middle of the bed instead of the top like a normal person* You think you can pull this entire doodad in there? Aren't the rooms smaller?
[01:22] CA: vwhat, havwe you seen them?
[01:24] GG: *Frowns* No. I just assumed a vessel that is not made to accomodate high maintenance highbloods would have slightly smaller rooms than this.
[01:27] CA: psh ill just make sure to complain if my room assignment turns out not to be to my liking.
[01:29] GG: You believe there can be done very much about that? *She clung more to the pillow, almost falling asleep. Why was she so tired? Who knows. Might just be that this bed was ungodly comfortable*
[01:33] CA: vwell yeah obvwiously. *his own eyes are drooping closed, both from the ungodly comfortable bed and his full belly. He tries to roll and cuddle up to her*
[01:36] GG: *She'd already, embarrassingly, called herself his girlfriend today, so allowing the cuddling wasn't that hard. In fact, it was a bit pleasant, and he wasn't being dumb about it. She sighed deeply and lazily poked him in the side before just letting her arm drop there*
[01:42] CA: *glances down at her arm before smiling at her, and finally just falling asleep just like that*
[01:48] GG: *There was a high chance that Jane stayed awake a little longer to occasionally just look at the dumb, pretty fish. However, the comfort of this bed was enough to make her doze off after a short while, comfortably falling asleep*
