[BOND]

Who: 80H and you! Eat, drink, and be merry! It's a mingle.
When: Day 25, afternoon
Where: The Lounge

In Jasmine

[Within Jasmine's tremendous new kitchen is a flurry of activity, a storm of leashed chaos, and in the eye stands 80H, cooking and baking up a storm.

Ever prepared, however, she's cooked meals for the rest of the car so they do not have to worry about fending for themselves while she's taken over the space. It's all neatly labeled and delicious. She starts early evening and if you come down for a midnight snack or glass of water, she's still at it. Different times of day warrant different aromas. Savoury, sweet, herbal, blends of lavender and vanilla, citrus and cloves.

And the warmth.

It feels nice in here from all the baking, not oppressively hot, but looking at her, it's difficult to tell if she feels any of it at all. She seems like an icy singularity, divorced from her own reality even she carefully, delicately makes mille-feuille for it.]


In the Lounge

[80H is not in her uniform (shut up, Crow, it's still fucking legit) for the most part, instead wearing Jasmine's sweeping skirt, bunched top, and sandals, though she keeps her blindfold, tied in a bow at the side of her head with ribbons. Blue, silver, purple.

Marigold.

She wheels out a long cart made of crystal covered by a light blue tablecloth that dips oscillates between transparency and translucency, fading into nothingness at the edges. It reflects prismatic colours in crystalline shapes, but despite the edges of the reflections, it looks light as air and soft as silk.

Upon it sit myriad desserts on plates of various sizes, though many are single serve. They, too, are crystalline and clear, delicately shaped, but belying sturdiness. Creme brulee torched to perfection, tarts of all kinds, mille-feuille, delicately baked, round cheesecakes with a thick drizzle made of native berries, mousse made with the same, and thin biscuits dipped in dark chocolate and marbled with white.

In various crystal pots are tea. She would have liked to have more, but there's a fair selection all the same. The pots are transparent and so the colours are immediately visible and she's taken care to arrange them in a most pleasing away along the table.]


I would humbly suggest you try something.

[She will say this to anyone and everyone, and if she is not stopped, she will stand well away, but present.]

You made me a lot of food for no particular reason, so I am going to thank you.
nihilmancy: (Neutral 2)

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2019-05-30 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh? What would that be?

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2019-05-31 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Compliments are always a little embarrassing, but she's genuinely happy about this massive amount of desserts?]

Naturally. But you put so much effort into it. That's, um, very, er, s-sweet of you.
nihilmancy: (Neutral 2)

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2019-05-31 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Miss...? Um, I'm not exactly the most forthcoming person, but I'm just appreciative you made me a lot of sweets. It isn't very complicated.

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2019-05-31 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
I don't mind be called by my name, but it's up to you.

[It's honestly really kind of embarrassing to be called something like that?

She takes a bite of a tart!]


Oh! It is very good.

Well, that is okay. Having Sparks is nice. And the process that facilitates it is pretty nice too. Even if that prince still annoys me.
nihilmancy: (Laugh)

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2019-05-31 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
If you insist. [She doesn't really understand 80H, but that's clearly how she wants to interact with people. She is pretty bashful herself at times, and doesn't really care to open up, but lately, well, the threat of looming annihilation has been a decent motivator.]

Not at all. It's really good.
nihilmancy: (Curious)

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2019-06-01 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh no, she's cute.]

Um, l-likewise!

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2019-06-01 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Er, well, in the future, I mean.

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2019-06-01 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, you don't have to.

[Sampling a cheese cake now.]

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2019-06-01 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is so fucking weird, her self esteem is really bad so she can kind of understand, but being addressed like this is really weird.]

I thought that you were doing this for yourself, though?

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2019-06-03 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if you insist. [She's used enough to thinking of herself as an unloveable monster, after all.]

But would you eat my cooking at least if I ever arranged an event like this? Not that I necessarily would. I'm less confident in my abilities.
