"You still came ta me for this, so I gotta have somethin’ goin’ fer me regardless," Al’s smirk returned back on his face, glancing back at him as Francis turned and wandered, but just went and grabbed a few more ingredients, adding them to the mix as well.

"Well that’s wrong. My cookin’ gets along just fine without ‘em," he stuck his lips out in an exaggerated frown,  "All ya gotta do is stir it again, nice and easy. Capable? Or do I gotta hold yer hand through that too." The frown turned upside down into a devilish grin, raising an eyebrow. 

[mirthlesstopor]

Francis rolled his eyes as he watched Al add other things to the bowl. Not bothering to ask what they were, he watched with minimal interest. "I'm sure you'd enjoy that," he said as he took the place beside Al again. He snatched the spoon from Al's hand and began stirring rather methodically, ignoring the grin he had. "But stirring is something I can do." Well...most of the time.

  "Not for risin’-," Al watched in slight disbelief as Francis had the audacity to just, you know, stick his finger in the unfinished batter. It’d be okay if it was at least stirred and ready, but no. 

"Maybe if, you know, you waited till we were done, it’d taste a lil better than just flour and oil," he shrugged, pouring in a dash of vanilla, "But if you wanna eat it like this I ain’t stoppin’ ya. Yer taste is bad enough fer it anyways."

[mirthlesstopor]

"Coming from the definition of bad taste, I suppose I will take that as a compliment." Francis eyed the vanilla as it was poured into the batter. After a moment he turned away from the counter and began meandering around the kitchen. Francis was only a little bit surprised when he'd first seen Al's kitchen, as it was rather plain and boring - not to clean, but not too dirty either. Francis thought back to his kitchen, which was practically out-of-the-box new still, as he only ever went in there on very special occasions. He turned back in Al's direction, hands in his pockets. 

"Rising or not, I had been lead to believe those ingredients were essential for all types of cooking. Cakes most especially."

"Then ya got no say, my cookin’s great," Al pouted at him, and bumped him once again, but moved past to find the vanilla, "The stuff that does the risin’ is already in there. ‘N it’s missing, like, TWO, maybe. Don’t even need ‘em."

[mirthlesstopor]

"I think eggs and butter might be slightly important," he mentioned as he looked into the bowl. "I mean, only a little bit, of course." Francis debated snatching the vanilla from Al's hands and tossing it across the kitchen, but instead he stuck his finger into the bowl, scooped a small bit of the slightly oily, damp powder out, and ate it. "Hm," he said, coughing. "Right. Just as I imagined; incredibly awful."

[hottiedog-deactivated20140324]

If you say so. I was just asking if there was any reason that you’re here and if there is, would you like any help. If not, that’s cool with me. // shrugs 

[mirthlesstopor]

While it's kind of you to offer, I really have no idea what I might need help with. You seem...friendly enough though.

I'm Francis. -sticks out his hand, in gesture of a handshake-

"I think that makes it even worse." He took a step to the side and crossed his arms. "But, I guess it doesn’t matter. I don’t have much to lose should we get food poisoning, or lack thereof considering there’s no actual nutrients in this.” He watched as Al measured out the oil. “And yes, in fact, it tastes entire worlds different.”

[anothertypicaltrainwreck-deacti]

As Francis took a step away, Al got a look, and with a bit of a smirk, sidestepped along with him, probably even closer to him than he was before, thought continued as though he wasn’t even doing anything, “Have you tried mine?”

[mirthlesstopor]

Francis gave Al a disgruntled look. "No. For a reason, of course." He didn't try to inch his way out of the situation, and instead ignored Al entirely. "I'm no expert on baked goods, but how exactly will this rise properly? You know, considering it lacks about 4 of the normal ingredients cake usually has. Or so I've been told."

And what is it I can do for ya?

[mirthlesstopor]

Nothing I can think of that has a considerable nature, unfortunately.

[hottiedog-deactivated20140324]

And what do you mean by ‘considerable’

[mirthlesstopor]

Noteworthy. Anything of importance, or with a sizeable amount of influence. I have no important needs taken care of at the moment. I believe this was the question?

"Stop frownin’ at the bowl like that, the stuff ain’t gonna leap outta it," Al looked over at the older blonde from where he was standing at the counter, grabbing the bottle of oil and a cup measure, "S’just the dry ingredients even, just shift them ‘round a little."

[mirthlesstopor]

"You seem to have overestimated my interest," Francis replied as he churned the powders in the bowl boredly. "I can’t even cook a regular cake properly. What makes you think this special vegan cake will be easy?" He stared into the bowl and mumbled, "Or any good, for that matter…"

[anothertypicaltrainwreck-deacti]

"Because I’m helping you. All you do is follow my directions, should be easy ‘nuff for someone like you,” Al frowned, and jabbed him in the side with the bottle, informing him to stop stirring at the moment, and taking his spot next to the other, filling the cup measure and pouring it in, “Tastes no different either. Shut it.” 

[mirthlesstopor]

"I think that makes it even worse." He took a step to the side and crossed his arms. "But, I guess it doesn't matter.

-rises from the ashes of my long forgotten grave-

greetings

[graziaefantasmi-deactivated2014]

Well, you’re taking me to an area you know, aren’t you? And I can bring the chipper. Plus, normal tour guides are scarily happy, don’t you think? With their too-cheesy smile and bad puns. -She demonstrated the smile, grinning widely, and lightly poking her cheeks with her index fingers, before letting it slip into a light laugh.- It must hurt to smile like that for so long.

[mirthlesstopor]

-half smiles- Good impression. But I guess they are paid to do that sort of thing.

I suppose that can work...you bring the chipper, and I will bring the watered-down and very outdated knowledge of the area. I don't see how this could go wrong.

[paintedalpha]

  True, but I mean, that doesn’t mean you have to answer all the questions a person throws at you. But I see what you’re getting at. -chuckles- tell me if it works out, I’m working on the friend department too.

[mirthlesstopor]

Well, then I’ll be sure to dodge your questions in the future. 

So far it seems to be working well enough. At least you haven’t kicked me out yet.

[paintedalpha]

Well, don’t dodge all of them, then we’ll never have a good conversation. -he teased-

Eh, I’ve dealt with assholes, and the like, you seem pretty civil to me, besides. Nothing wrong with giving a person a chance, right?

[mirthlesstopor]

Hmm. Well, I can ask the questions and you can answer them. However, if you dodge them, we might be at an impasse. Oh, well...thanks, I think. No harm in that.

[mirthlesstopor]

Walking is fine. You need a little bit of it every now and then. 

Gives us a chance to explore, at any rate.

[graziaefantasmi-deactivated2014]

Perfect, then let’s go!

-She smiled, taking a few steps ahead, before turning nimbly in her step to face him.-

Or are you just going to stand there all day? I assumed you were going to be my guide, after all.

[mirthlesstopor]

Aren't tour guides supposed to know the area? Not only that, but they are usually rather chipper. -he walks up to meet with her anyway- I don't think I am the best candidate.

  -He’s seen people that sort of thing before, his parents mostly, Alfie would be the kid trying to chew on the cork.-  Heh, that’s good, I guess.

Ya don’t need to give me an answer ya know? You could just tell me it’s none of my business, which it really isn’t. I’m just trying to make small talk, and failing at it. -chuckles, before shrugging his shoulders- That’s good.

[mirthlesstopor]

Well, if I'm going to go about attempting this "friend" thing, I don't see why I should be rude. At any rate, it's not like it's a big secret. 

[americanreversal-deactivated201]

  [Fuck, it’s glorious—- HUFFS.]

Well, then, lets get you dunk!

… [FREEZES.][Sweats nervously.] Dude, please—- Obviously I wanted to kill some time and hang out with you! Duh! [Pats his back.] Quit bein’ such a downer.

[mirthlesstopor]

Uh huh.

-glares daggers at him- ...Oh, fine. Whatever. -points down the hall at a brown bookshelf-type cabinet- It's all in there. Unless you want stronger stuff. That's in the freezer. Knock yourself out.
