4 ♥ Cookin' Mama 2! Dinner with Friends~ [Video]

[selphie_t]

[Luceti, if you happen to live in or around Community House 1, then today is your lucky day! If you should just so happen to live on the sixth floor of said house then you may as well be winning the lottery. Or... as far as winning the lottery in Luceti is concerned anyway.

Selphie was looking for something to do and she's been loitering in the community kitchen on their floor and before long, the perky brunette has decided to take her first foray back into cooking. This is the same girl who back home wasn't allowed into a kitchen as a child because she only has a true talent for destroying pans and wasting food. Selphie is also the same girl who was exempted from home-ec without having to sign up for the course.

So why is she trying to cook today? Merely for the hell of it. She feels like experimenting and before long, she's zipped out of the building and down to the store for ingredients. She grabs whatever happens to be handy with reckless abandon and an excited look on her face. Her bags of food are dropped off in the kitchen before she's zooming into the apartment and grabbing the biggest bowl and baking pans she can find.

With that taken care of, the girl begins to pour anything and everything in the bowl and using her hands as mixing spoons. A splash of flour, half a bag of sugar, cayenne pepper, ginger, ponzu sauce, a generous amount of tobasco and this odd red sauce known as Frank's Red Hot.

Before long, her concoction is ready to go! It's poured into the pans and tossed into the preheated oven. She's feeling impatient and has heated the oven to 500ºF to get her creation cooking quickly.

Well... maybe that was a bit too fast as about fifteen minutes in, smoke can be seen wafting out of the sixth floor window. Selphie gawks at the disaster she's created, wishing she could use The End on it to make it all disappear but someone's bound to smell or see the smoke and wonder just what the heck she was up to. Without much further ado, Selphie has shut off the oven and opened the door to reveal some very ruined baking pans and a discovery for making charcoal.]

Uh oh...

[Her journal is open on the counter as clouds of smoke drift over the camera before an explosion can be heard in the background and bits of the uncharred, gloppy mess that she made go flying and coat the walls in the remains of her experiment. She's laughing sheepishly before she notices that her journal is recording the entire scene. Her face floods the screen and one can clearly see the charred bits of her cooking stuck in her hair. The young woman has that cheeky grin in place already.]

It's not what you think!

[And she shuts the journal.

Citizens of Luceti, whatever are you going to do?]

[Rock Lee runs towards the source of the noise that he hears... and he accelerates his pace when he smells the smoke.]

FFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRE!

[Once he enters the kitchen, he enters a fighting position... as if expecting to have to battle the fire.]

[Action] - L.O.L.

[selphie_t]

No! No no no no no NO!

[Okay, Selphie's just going to stare at Rock Lee in disbelief when he takes on the fighting position.]

There's no fire! [She points to the charred bits of whatever she was making in her hair.] I just can't cook!

[Action]

[niceguypose]

[He glances around attentively.]

Ah... The disaster is averted?!

[Action]

[selphie_t]

[Selphie nods before looking over at the oven filled with baking soda.]

Totally diverted. The only victims were a couple of baking pan currently hanging out in the sink.

[Action]

[niceguypose]

Ah...

[He relaxes his posture at this.]

I see! It is a shame for such pans to experience that fate. So, in the end this is a "false emergency"?

[iwannabethegai]

If it's not what I think, then what is it?

[Shu looks like he's in shock. Is Selphie going to be okay?]

You need serious help with that.

[selphie_t]

[Selphie will be fine once someone offers to teach her how to cook. For now, she's just giving Shu a goofy grin.]

An experiment in making fireworks come out of the oven?

[Ouch. Harsh, Shu.]

Eh... maybe a little bit.

video

[iwannabethegai]

[Well, he lightens up as soon as he can tell that Selphie's doing alright.]

What made you think of that idea? That's really dangerous, um...please be more careful.

I'll come over there and help you clean up. Where are you again? [He has no idea.]

video

[selphie_t]

[Shu will come to learn that Selphie's done much worse than ruin a couple of baking pans.]

Er... boredom? Something to do? I never really got to do this as a kid? Right... be more careful. Maybe I should just learn how to cook.

[She'll wave her hands in embarrassment at the offer.]

Oh no no! You don't need to do that. I can clean this up no problem!

[Action]

[materiathief]

[And another ninja will be rushing up, with a hand over her nose.]

Whoever is killing something, do it somewhere else! My room is gonna smell like smoke!

[Action]

[selphie_t]

[When Yuffie's done demanding that the killing be done elsewhere, Selphie's spinning around, her hands on her hips with a frown on her face.]

Why do you think the windows are open? And it's not like I've got a gigantic fan to blow all the smoke out. Besides, would you rather your room smell like smoke or not have a room to stay in?

[Action]

[materiathief]

You could find someone with some wind magic!

[So hey, don't get huffy with her. She was allowed to freak out. But she just sighs.]

I can handle fire just fine though.

[Action]

[selphie_t]

I could but what's done is done. It'll probably take a couple hours to air the kitchen out.

[Well that's what happens when you get huffy first, Yuffie.]

Yeah, I could just use a Water spell to take care of that in a hurry.

[Video]

[knightofratatosk]

H-hey, is everything okay? That sounded like an explosion there...

Re: [Video]

[selphie_t]

[There's one very goofy grin filling the screen as Selphie picks a bit of charred disaster out of her hair.]

Everything's just fine! Totally under control with nothing to worry about!

[She's so dead later.]

[Video]

[knightofratatosk]

I'm pretty sure I saw smoke too. Don't tell me you set the oven on fire or something. A lot of people seem to be doing that lately for some reason.

[Video]

[selphie_t]

Just a little bit! It's mostly gone and no, I didn't set the oven on fire.

Although... I guess it's gonna need a really good cleaning after this.

[wilderchoice]

Tsk tsk, Selphie my dear. Looks like you over did it with the recipe.

[selphie_t]

Maybe just a little bit.

[wilderchoice]

So where do you think you went wrong?

[selphie_t]

Oh... lots of places. No recipe being the biggest whoopsies.

[video]

[ofwesternwinds]

[Yeah, this sort of scenery is all too familiar to this kid. Except his cooking escapades were never this bad. From the looks of this recording, it almost sounds like she blew up the oven or something.]

Cooking accident?

[video]

[selphie_t]

[She may have blown up the oven, she might not have. She pops into the camera as she pulls a blackened bit of whatever out of her hair.]

Possibly. I could've been making fireworks for all ya know Rudy!

[She's totally kidding despite that sly look on her face.]

[video]

[ofwesternwinds]

Must smell an awful lot like gunpowder then.

[He's half-kidding himself, of course.]

Anyway, everything okay over there? What exactly were you trying to do?

[video]

[selphie_t]

More like burnt bread.

[Selphie laughs at herself. She can't help it this time.]

Oh nothing major. Just indulging my inner child.
