WEEK ZERO: MINGLE
WEEK ZERO
OCCUPANCY: 36
For those of you counting along, you'll find that it's been three days since you've arrived at Master Blue's mansion. On this lovely Monday morning, the weak winter sun shines in through the spotless windows. The curtains in the ballroom have been drawn closed and cannot be moved away from the back wall during the daylight hours. The scent of a hot and delicious breakfast wafts from the direction of the dining hall at 7am, and small creaks and groans in the house urge you to awaken.
Perhaps you're a late riser though. No matter! There's still plenty of food you can make for yourself and ways for you to amuse yourself. Though the decor's been taken down, leftover Valentine's candy remains abundant, and a chilly breeze drifts through the halls. Best of all, all damage inflicted on the house has been repaired. In addition, a new placard has been mounted in the entryway.
As you carry on with your day in the mansion and explore the rooms provided, you may come to find that starting today it will appear as though you've all lost the use of one of your senses. Your vision may have grown dim, or maybe you really can't smell the enticing treats in the dining hall after all. How unfortunate.
Then again, something doesn't seem quite right. Walking through the halls, nothing seems terribly out of place. However, turning the corner or entering a room you will find someone who looks a little too much like yourself behaving in a fairly inappropriate manner. You would never read something so lewd. Who would ever think that you would wear something so pink? These mannerisms may seem innocent to others, but you can't help but disapprove.
Too bad no one else can see them.
Come Monday at noon, you will also find a new surprise. The wooden box with your name on it can now be opened, and a rustling crackle of static can be heard from overhead. Try as you might, you won't be able to find the speakers but this message will play loud and clear for all.

[Let's just ignore the way he stumbled all over that phrasing, today is a day for stumbling all over everything. He'll brush some of the frost off his book (it seems to be an ordinary tome on plants, emphasis on flowering ones) before focusing back on the Loco Mocotion happening here.]
Ah. Do you mean, because we're all from such different places, the recipes might be completely different? That makes me really curious about it now, actually.
Are the eggs a really important component?
no subject
[ He doesn't want to know, but also? He does? ]
It's not the same dish without them.
no subject
[He's protesting this!! Does he look like the type of person to ruin kitchens!!! (aside from leaving books and other sundry things in them but look) Though he can't even protest effectively given the general mood of the place; he wouldn't put it past any of them (maybe some of them) to have gotten permanently banned from a kitchen or two. Or three.
A small huff but okay, fine, back to business.]
Huh. I guess without eggs it would just be something like a hamburger rice bowl.
no subject
[ He lives like twenty minutes from a fancy ass "city of nobles". He knows the signs. ]
Don't worry, a stove isn't gonna differentiate from working hands and delicate pampered ones.
Pretty much what this is. You fry the egg, and add sauce, but there's still rice and burgers in.
no subject
[It's not quite sheepish -- it's almost kind of matter-of-fact, because it's just a given part of who he is at this point, even if he ain't really the kind of noble Ash is probably thinking of. The sheepishness slides smoothly into bemused and Subete just sort of. Taps the side of the stove with one hand in a droll sort of fashion.]
I'd say I just do a different kind of work? Or something. But that's not important here.
[What's important here is that they've all been trapped in some sort of inane cursed purgatory, probably. But...]
So the secret is usually in the sauce, right? Otherwise you'd just be throwing a bunch of stuff together?
no subject
Most food is just throwing a bunch of stuff together. The egg does a good job of pulling it all together too - crack the yolk on that and mix it in and that's half the job done.
no subject
[He probably hasn't met anyone who cooks without recipes: the ridiculous gourmet life. What's home cooking. How does it work.]
I didn't know eggs were that special. I thought they were just there to supplement some pretty normal dishes...
no subject
[ Simples. ]
They're in tonnes of recipes, and they're used to bind stuff together. You've never had someone tell you the importance of eating eggs for protein?
no subject
Of course I know you should eat eggs for protein.
But a lot of those types of recommendations are just for eggs by themselves, or raw eggs, I'm pretty sure. I think there is less binding in those cases?
no subject
[ speaking of, he's gonna flip flippy one of the burgers. ]
no subject
[It's debatable how much he knew about making burgers in the first place, judging by the fascinated way he's watching the burger flipping. It's like putting a seal in front of a particularly colorful beach ball.
But fluffier.]
But I thought we were talking about things like protein shakes and other fitness tips. Hamburgers are definitely a little different.
no subject
[ Huh. ]
Who eats a protein shake when you could cook proper food? [ Not Ash. Master of "is it a burger, make it a burger". ]
Burgers or not though, you can do a bunch of other stuff with eggs. Scramble it, fry it, mix it into rice. Take your pick.
