Cake Catastrophe (video; un: Sly Blue and RuffRabbit)

[bottombitch]

[ The scene may not be an usual one. There's a fire alarm blaring, the haze of smoke and the dismayed sound of a man who has fallen prey to some misadventure in cooking. Aoba whines about how he's ruined a birthday cake he toiled over for hours, makes a fuss at how he couldn't have possibly got it wrong, all the while trying to shut off the alarm.

Noiz is naturally filming this culinary disaster as it happens and is presenting it live on social media. Don't forget to hit subscribe, folks.

When he pushes open the door to the kitchen, there's enough smoke that it's left a dull haze hanging around the kitchen even with the ventilation fan on full blast and a certain blue-haired young man is flapping a dish towel frantically before the oven. The door is open and it belches smoke, makes him choke and cough as he hauls out the burnt remains of what may have been a cake.

He clearly did not do the cooking by the book, either through sheer laziness or by using some messy recipe and the cake turned out crazy. It looks more like a blackened bit of sponge than anything edible.

It’s at this point that the camera turns a bit to show the plain-faced cameraman, who reaches forward to rip a chunk of the blackened cake up from the smoldering mess, to take a bite.

Of course, he makes a face. Eyeing the camera now, he shakes his head. ]

Someone should teach this idiot how to bake.

Or at least point him to a cookbook.

[ And apparently, that’s too much for the victim star of the video to handle, as he runs toward the cameraman, hands out to take the comm from him. ]

You complete brat! Are you filming this?! Don’t eat that garbage, what are you doing--!?

[ Looks like the show is over, unless you want to reply to the video that now abruptly shuts off to help this pair of fools. ]


[ ooc: Aoba's dialogue is in blue, Noiz is in green. ]

Is that supposed to be cake?

Maybe...a cake mix would work?

[bottombitch]

But it's for his birthday, isn't cake mix kind of like cheating?

Just how am I supposed to make something 'with love' if all I have to do is add some eggs and put in the oven?

[bunnyblock]

Cheat next time.

DYING

[bottombitch]

Not you too!

[bringbackgold]

Edible is more important.

I think.

[bunnyblock]

It's far more important.

This isn't edible.

[bottombitch]

You just keep rubbing it in... maybe I should make you eat all of it.

[bringbackgold]

It doesn't look like it.

[bottombitch]

This is true but...

...Do you have a preferred brand? Even a high priced bakery will do in a pinch. I'm new to the area, so I don't really know what to get.

[ He's really had to swallow his pride just now, and this brat isn't even grateful. Noiz can be the worst... ]

[bringbackgold]

I've never used a mix. Baking is just following instructions exactly, after all.

I guess I could show you so you can do without.

[bottombitch]

You would?! I don't know why baking is so hard for me... maybe it's because most of the ingredients all look the same... salt, sugar, flour, baking soda... tapioca...

[bringbackgold]

They don't really all --

Yeah. I don't see why not. Do you have a type of cake you're trying to make?

[bottombitch]

Ah...

A birthday... cake...?

[ He may have actually just done a search for this and come up with some dubious recipe. ]

[bringbackgold]

I mean like... Chocolate. Strawberry. Whatever.

I can grab a recipe.

[ ...sigh ]

[bottombitch]

Oh, I've always wanted to do one of those layered cakes filled with whipped cream and big juicy strawberries! They look so pretty when sliced just right, I always have to check to make sure I haven't drooled whenever I see it at the bakery!

[ Aoba... that's a bit above your level... ]

Can you teach me how to make something that nice? I'd be grateful!

[bringbackgold]

Like a Japanese Christmas Cake? I can find a recipe.

[ And as long as you don't flub the instructions...he thinks it'll be fine. ]

[bottombitch]

Mm! Maybe if I can nail it down now, I won't screw it up by Christmas!

[ This is ridiculous, no one needs 6 months to perfect this sort of thing. ]

This is really nice of you, I'm Aoba Seragaki.

[ Resident kitchen disaster. Nice to meet you. ]

[bringbackgold]

Well, you have some time, I think. You might be able to do more than that by then.

[ Hey - it's alright to spend time mastering it. ]

I'm Otabek Altin. I cook for myself a lot at home. I don't mind showing anyone something.
