[soldierofloveandbeauty]

Who: Minako Aino and You
What: Practice and Minako being Minako afterwards
Where: C-01 and around
When: Backdated November 10th
Warnings: Minako being Minako.

A) Blitzball!

[Minako stood holding the ball firmly in her grasp. Sure she wasn't swimming in water right now but it didn't stop her from trying to train every so often. So setting up a couple of targets on the streets she was ready to start practising her passes as she knew she needed some improvement over that more than anything. So with her eyes firmly placed upon her intended target with another blocking her way, Minako aimed and threw with a little too much might sending it flying, hitting the target sending that flying back with the ball still going.

Before Minako had a chance to react and chase after the ball it managed to hit some poor unsuspecting passer-by, causing Minako to rush on over with a genuine look of concern.]

Are you okay? Are you bleeding anywhere?

B) C-01

[With today's rather eventful practice clear in her mind, Minako had set about simply relaxing at home and doodling to Billy's chores chart, because no way in hell she was going to do them unless her moogle asked her to. With the pen in her hand she set about drawing various doodles across before before stepping back and admiring her work. She was happy with that as she closed the lid of the pen before putting it away and heading to the kitchen fully expecting her moogle to be there. But he wasn't. As she thought about where he could possibly be, her stomach started to grumble. She was hungry and she wasn't sure how long she could wait until she starved to death. So she set about setting something up and cook herself. After all it couldn't be that hard, right?

She was to soon find out how not easy it was as within minutes she had somehow managed to set a pan on fire. Panicking she rushed over to quickly grab a pan of water to throw at the flaming inferno. Some of the water completely missed while some of it managed to hit it dead on. It helped a little bit, but not enough as Minako ran to grab a damp table clothe and throw that on instead. That seemed to do the trick as all she could do now was sigh with relief. Anyone who came on at this point will be welcomed with smoke coming from the kitchen and a mess that was within it.]

Comments

[unetoned]

[Billy just rolled his eyes and turned to the moogle.]

Thanks for keeping her from burning down the house. You did well.

[He examined the still smoldering pan, scorched beyond use.]

What were you even trying to make?

my apologies if you've been waiting for me!

[no1]

[ Hanafuda gives Billy a weak nod, unsure as to how her contribution has made any difference, really - but a praise is a praise! Meanwhile.... ]

... You're arguing again?

[ A true Hero enters the scene, ready to point fingers just because he was conveniently upstairs when it all happened. He takes note of the chart, though, kind of already putting the scenario together in his head. ]

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

[When weren't they arguing is probably the best question here. There were moments, but this just happened to not be one of them.]

As always, yes. We are. Nothing new here.

[She smiles slightly.]

As for what I was trying to make, I was trying to make something nice for myself and everyone, but...it didn't end well.

[unetoned]

[Billy heaved a deep, world-weary sigh, as he often did when dealing with Minako.]

New House Rule. Minako is not allowed to touch the stove.

[Technically, the other house-mates were supposed to agree to rules before they could be put into effect, but Billy decided that he was the only one responsible enough to be trusted, and so he had removed veto power from the others. Not that they followed any of the other house rules anyways.]

Set the table, and I'll make something for everyone if there's anything left that didn't get turned into charcoal.

[no1]

[ She meant well.

... or so he finds himself nearly uttering as he realizes that in conjunction with the previously destroyed chart, it would most likely only add more fuel to the on-going, if figurative fire. He has long stopped tossing in unnecessary comments with the knowledge of what they often led to, and so he can only - somewhat secretly - shoot Minako a small, sympathetic smile as he makes towards the cupboards.

Hm. What a poor sight. ]

We might need to be creative here.

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

[She crossed her arms over her chest, puffing her cheeks out slightly. She didn't mind if she never had to cook again, as it meant less work for her, but if she wanted to learn how could she without using it.]

Fine, I'll agree to that rule at least.

[Which may have surprised a good few people before she turned on her heels and followed Ace just to see what he was up to.]

Yeah, I mean nothing was destroyed at least, right? There is still plenty of food as well.

[unetoned]

[Billy ignored the chatter behind him as he started in on making food to keep his housemates from doing any more property damage. He only knew simple stuff, but he could put together the ingredients still left in the house to make a meal.

Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches were what he settled on. Crusts untrimmed and sandwiches cut down the middle, because they had caused trouble earlier.]

Ok, edible food. Whenever you want it, ask. Don't burn down our house.
