Now, Aideen didn’t claim to be any sort of technological whiz. There was a reason she stuck to traditional profiling instead of electronic. Heck, it’d taken her a while to figure out her keycard. And yet, while her knowledge was admittedly limited… she was pretty sure error warnings weren’t supposed to appear in the sky. Here she was, trying to have a good time after being sent an exciting murder video, and now… the sky was glitching. Great. She absolutely loved life.
And Monobear didn’t know what was happening, which was, of course, mildly concerning. Wasn’t it great when the animatronic (presumably) bear host who murdered people without a care didn’t know what was up? Instinctively Aideen takes a place at the back of the gathering crowd, tense and obviously prepared to bolt at and… shenanigans.
And shenanigans there were. Aside from her feeling faint (run your exercises again, jeez-!) and looking incredibly suspicious, there was… another bear. Another class? She’d never interacted with any of them before, having still, miraculously, been a suspicious ass when the area had been merged. And now… here they were. In her sky islands.
“「 You’ve straight up gotta be shittin’ me, honestly. What kinda shit you think we’re here to deal with?」”
But of course everyone would be getting all introduced and that formality stuff that she really didn’t care about. Aideen, of course, was quite annoyed! She’d just dealt with one class’s ridiculous tendencies, and now she had to redo all that for the other? There was already a cowboy standing out, and like, some really tall person with bangs? And what was she supposed to do? Bullshit a personality again if she ran into any of them?
Honestly. She’d had enough! Looking grumpy, she slinks back away from the crowd, lurking around until they clear out enough. Life was such a hassle, really.
Eventually, though, less people linger, and Aideen can scoot out and through the portal. I mean, if it was there, she might as well explore.
Some time later, Aideen had concluded that Water Dome was way more exciting than Sky Island. It didn’t have the boring forest thing, for one, and it had rides she could actually enjoy- such as the lazy river, where you sit and do nothing. Not that she’d done that, because she was dignified. No, instead she’d raided a food stand and then sent several annoying texts to her Best Buddies ™.
But now, she was bored once more. Mizu was more exciting, sure, but that was more exciting than perhaps the most boring place on Earth. Or… in the sky. It was like Dismaland. Suffice to say, she’d exhausted her exploration potential, and now had to wander around for several hours until something else inevitably happened and she got to go look at a dead body, or something.
Her strong point was, evidently, not optimism.
As if drawn by a magnet, she arrived in the kitchen after a while. Or more accurately, the freezer. At least it was all in one place here, but-
She emerges after a bit, staring contemplatively at a box of frozen… cookies? These were those ready-made ones you put in the oven, right? And yet, her list of not-talents had to be amended with chef. Too bad she’d accused theirs (correctly!) of murder.
With a sigh, she tosses it on the counter, intending to just let it thaw and then eat the dough. And yet… she wasn’t alone.
There’s quite a moment of awkward silence as she considers something, and then she scratches her cheek and puts a grin on her face.
“Ahuhu, hey, doll! This is awkward, innit? We’ve never met, and now you know my greatest secret, huh… I really dunno how to use an oven at all! It’s embarrassin’, uaaah… don’t tell anyone, ‘kay?”
(Honestly, what a hassle this day was turning out to be.)
Well, today had been hectic in more days than one. With all that had gone on since the merge itself (something he had only been informed of later via text at that), Hachi hadn’t had a chance to properly address the discomfort grumbling in his stomach until now.
After mulling through the overwhelming amount of options the kitchen supplied him with, he decided to go with something basic. An omelet, for example.
He had been in the process of pulling out the eggs and veggies from the fridge when he heard footsteps nearing, and suddenly, a sigh filled what was otherwise silence followed by a hollow thud hitting the counter. Immediately, Hachi straightened up to peek around the door and stare at the newcomer.
Thank god Rhi had filled him in, because he would have been terrified otherwise.
Then again, having someone in high school tell you that they didn’t know how to operate an oven was also incredibly terrifying in its own way.
Well, it didn’t help to repeat what she just said. That’d just be a dick move when you clearly heard what she had just confided.
“Well first of all you should check to make sure there’s nothin’ in the, uh-”
He casually motioned to the door to the oven.
“Thing first. After that then you just preset it to the temperature and then pop it inside once it’s that temp.”
That probably was helpful to someone who had never used one before, right?
Hachi set down his own ingredients on the counter and took a small step closer towards her.
“So first of all, check what temperature the, uh... wrapper tells you to on the back. And see if it has any sort of preparation for it too.”
