[ how long has it been since they've been here? when was the last time any of them have eaten?
if the accelerating rings can only do so much speed, can... can shinobu use the gloves to try and grab hold of the lighting bolts and fling them back at other lightning? will she get electrocuted?
how does that help them move faster, ara? i don't know i'm flinging spaghetti at the wall ]
[ Can they get momentum off of landing on some billboards and pushing themselves further down? Joonghyuk will try that, trying to get enough distance. He might even do that to a hand that may try to grapple them.
When he watches Shinobu TRY TO GRAB LIGHTNING, he makes a face? ]
[i mean. yes? shinobu can grab lightning but what is she going to do with that? by some combo of the gust of wind and jumping off of the billboards, they're able to springboard themselves forward.
the scent of food continues to waft. spicy, sweet, hot and fresh. it's tantalizing, and eventually they land on the ground with their various cuts and bruises. ]
489/600
[theyre on a sidewalk. the crowd jostles them, people going about their daily lives. they appear to be in front of a restaurant.
[i hope she just tosses the lightning into a crowd. anyway.
they land! she squints at the score with a little frown, but whatever. it's fine. the people jostling her get her to ram them back, though, she's not in the mood. anyway.
they're... in front of a restaurant, and she looks at joonghyuk questioningly.]
[ incredible. she is still holding onto this lightning that isn't electrocuting her somehow. she can't use magic, so potato girls have to make do. she'll unleash it for whatever inevitable thing needs to be fucked up.
[heading into the restaurant...they find it's packed with people at tables. the loud chatter and camaraderie of a peaceful world echos around the room. the smell is more powerful here, spicy and sweet and smoky. the tables are scattered around, small burners on the tabletop and grilling meats and bubbling dishes across the room.
the kitchen is in the back, and there's a bar in front of it for seating along with a wall of booze.
when's the last time you've eaten, again...? you can pick a table if you'd like. or you can look around.]
[lup is actually starving, and - a mess? like, all three of them are bleeding i think so this is very funny. she wanders in after joonghyuk, watching as people eat, and then:]
Can we grab something to go? Just uh, real fast. And then we can go back to the torture gauntlet. [she says, a little woozily.]
[ adrenaline and trauma keeps the hunger at bay, but shinobu nods cautiously. (what if the food is poisoned, though?) they should eat before they get beat up again (physically or emotionally). ]
That's fine.
[ she looks at the kitchen... she said it was fine, but she's inching towards the kitchen anyway. the food smells almost too good. ]
[ Can he order for Lup? He’ll order something easy to eat on the go but also filling (not food coma filling), but instead of… Taking a seat, he also wants to go to the kitchen.
To make sure it isn’t poison, not that he’s hungry, even if everyone inside this restaurant is eating. Hm. ]
[well. you can order food for lup! it will probably be tasty, but you don't exactly have a way of knowing. as shinobu and joonghyuk both start to make their way toward the kitchen, a piece of the bar counter flips open to usher them inside.
the smell seemingly hypnotizes them, allowing for all three of them to begin moving into the kitchen inch by inch.
inside the kitchen, they will find that there are pots, pans, plates and cutlery moving all on their own. the kitchen itself is stockpiled with fresh ingredients, and as soon as they enter the door snaps shut. three snazzy aprons and chef's hats drop onto them, and they'll hear the commotion out in the restaurant grow in tenfold. the lights flicker overhead, and soon the wall separating the kitchen and the bar falls away as all of the cooking supplies stop moving.
the restaurant is empty save for a few patrons. the lights are dimmed, and seated at the bar is a figure. they lift their hand in a wave, and soon a small screen drops down from the ceiling of the kitchen with an order spelled out.]
[noooo... her food. she makes the saddest face in the universe as she's not allowed to have food, and then just stands in the middle of the kitchen and looks down at her apron. concerning!]
... Really? What, we're line cooks now? [she says, exasperated. at least the food being taken from her has given her the energy to be a smartass.] Okay, uh. Are we... doing this?
[ Ty like I’m not sure who this is and picks a slutty man in mythology. He closes his eyes, extremely annoyed and very much wanting to just stab this man, but…
He reaches for some tools. ]
Don’t fall for his wiles.
[ Smelly. ]
We’re going to make a pastry. If you don’t know how to bake, I’ll instruct.
[ You guys can watch him prepare things with his sword though like it’s a kitchen knife. He’ll give out orders, just simple measurements and mixing stuff… ]
[yeah. time to cook for the slut. dionysus leans on the bar, a hand propping up their head as they watch the three of them closely.
the moment the three of them decide to proceed, and begin joonghyuk can even give out the first order, the kitchen comes to life again. the counters, and the ingredients on them, begin to move like conveyer belts. the pots and pans begin clanging, and every now and then they slip right out of their grips. black sludge-like textures begin to ooze through cracks in the ceiling, and as they land they start to form these big boys that begin to gobble up everything in sight. they rush through the kitchen, attempting to steal food and knocking the trio off-course.
lup also hates these things. to her credit maybe she attempts to help cook, following yjh's instructions, but then the sludge creatures start coming in, and she's so sick of everything in the world that she just doesn't even hesitate, this is like. the end of her rope. she cannot stand people fucking up the kitchen? she's lost her marbles. can she summon the fucking dragons to eat the big boys? because she's had Enough.]
Anyway, Joonghyuk was going to stab one with his sword and maybe flambé another, but LUP IS SUMMONING DRAGONS? He’s also going to get out of the way. ]
so now there are two full-sized dragons inside the kitchen.
and they begin chasing after the big globby boys. the problem is that dragons are huge, and it means that while shinobu is able to get out of the way just enough, possibly slipping on some of the leftover goop as her lightning bolt nails some of the monsters. lup and joonghyuk, however, are not so lucky. the dragons run, stomping and tailwhipping around. lup goes flying across the kitchen, right into a wall with a hard thud that will leave her bruised with the wind knocked out of her. joonghyuk moves, but not fast enough as dragon claws rake over his side as he moves.
dionysus is unimpressed, impatiently waiting for their food but watching with keen interest to see how this plays out. the dragons blow out a bit of fire, and a goblet of wine is tossed in to add to the flames. a little motivation, if you will.]
well, she's just down here on the floor now. she was bleeding and also burned a whole lot so getting slammed against a wall sort of just puts her out of commission for a hot second. hhghhgh.
... in the interest of time, though, she will try to keep cooking, once she's pulled herself back up from her concussion daze. it's fine. the dragons are playing interference.]
[ Well… Getting claws dug into him isn’t unfamiliar, but it hurts and his wordy blood gets onto the kitchen counters. Rather than be pissed that he got attacked by Lup’s dragons (he saw her pay for it), he’s mad that they got BLOOD ALL OVER KITCHEN.
It’s those blob boys’ fault. ]
Lup Lastname, take a potion if you need to. [ He… Will sip just so that he isn’t actively bleeding, then he returns to baking. ] I’m fine, but…
[ Can they make a puffed pastry filled with custard in these conditions. ]
If this fails, we can try to feed him sweet and light stories.
yes? they can? like listen you still have actual dragons and blob boys and moving ingredients everywhere. you might want to find a way to get rid of a few things and work around them to keep going with your cooking.
[she wheezes a bit. her full name gets a hysterical little giggle out of her, but okay. she will sip her potion just enough to make her be able to like. stand. and then she'll try to... put out... the fires. with a water spell, but like, carefully.
the dragons can take care of the blobs while she gently puts out fires.]
