RPG: The Week from Hell/Continuing Machias Punishment - Page 258

**Machias Banshee** · 11-23-2002, 07:14 PM

*chuckles* heh, well, you wont have to worry about weird head shapes now...*surprised that Kali's not noticed that she's in human form now...*

*kyabetsu* · 11-23-2002, 07:16 PM

kya waved the kitchen fire off as a technicallity.
kya: Que babaridad! EVERYONE sets the kitchen on fire at some point in their life. (she blinked) i've lost track of how many times i've done it. ... (she shrugged and a look of vague horror glassed Leo's features) it's all in the odds. the more you make a pudding a flambe, more likely you are to light your hair on fire. (she laughed) now THAT stinks. and anyways, i only caught my hair ONCE. the kitchen... well, i've only killed two major appliances in my time. the stove and a very troubled toaster oven.

She began clearing plates.

Kya: so your kitchen track record ain't NUTHIN on mine kali (she winked at her over her shoulder).

((trans: what nonsense!!))

**Kali** · 11-23-2002, 07:24 PM

*chuckles* Yeah, but I bet you weren't making Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. *sits back in her chair* This isn't the first time I've set something on fire. I've set two other stoves, a kitchen, a bedroom, and an entire apartment on fire. Not all of those from cooking. Some from candles. *looks up at the ceiling* Ya know, I think that's why I had moved here in the first place, I had set my old place on fire. Ugh, and that doesn't include the food I've burned.

**Machias Banshee** · 11-23-2002, 07:27 PM

Sounds like my family...*chuckles* Me, lesse...I've destroyed a few microwaves, set a bag of popcorn on fire in one, put aluminum tray in another...melted stewpots, and destroyed a few blenders. No burnt hair yet *looks at brain* thank Gawd for that....get that from my dad. He set a pot of soup on the stove and LEFT it....my brother tried to go in the house, and the whole house was full of black smoke and the worse burnt hair smell imaginable. *grins* Kinda like when Leo and Mike tried to teach me how to make Miso soup... *laughs* I never thought of burning Miso as napalm, but when i got it on Leo's bandanna--*giggles wildly*--it lit up like a torch. I'd never seen him run so fast for the sink....*sets her soups down before she'd drop it, laughing.*

*kyabetsu* · 11-23-2002, 07:37 PM

kya nods like something important has been decided.
kya: YES. It's final! you two will be the PERFECT sue chefs. I wouldn't hear of ANYONE else trying to help me make skulls this holiday! (she laughed and deposited the last of the plated iin the sink. She made eye contact with Leo and Don and winked as she pointed to towering mess in and around the sink.)

kya: i hope it was tasty, you two... because if there's gonna be any more of it, i need you to get on your part of the bargain.....

(kya let them to it and gathering Machias, Vespera, and Kali close, whispered a joke)

Kya: What do you do when the dishwasher won't work?
Vespera

shouted happily) SNAP HIS BUTT WITH A TOWEL!!!

The female laughter made the two brothers wash FASTER.

**Machias Banshee** · 11-23-2002, 07:42 PM

*Mike looks at the girls, a nervous grin spreading. he walked over to the sink, and handed it to one of the brothers*

M: Heh, have fun.... *turns chuckling, and waves to the girls* Well, thank you for the food, but now i must get going, soi'llseeyoualllater,okay?bye! *heads to the door*

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-23-2002, 07:59 PM

*Vespera snickered at Mike's retreat from the kitchen, then looked around. Lets see, I cleaned the drawers yesterday.... knives are.... there! She opened one of the drawers and came out with a horking big carving knife. She placed it on the table, and dived into the shopping bags at her feet and came up with a pumpkin.* Does anyone want me to save the seeds for roasting later?

*Splinter could hear the happy noises of the family puttering around the house, mostly in the kitchen. Vespera and Kali were here from the sounds of it. He chuckled a little as he thought about some of the television shows he watched during the week. This week on Jerry Springer. Turtles and the women who date them.*

**Machias Banshee** · 11-23-2002, 08:04 PM

heh, i guess we scared him away...*nods* sounds good...I used to do that with Sunflower seeds too...great stuff...

*Mike walked down the hall, chuckling to himself*
M: Heh, Don and Leo'll be lucky to survive now...two guys in a roomful of girls. Theyre gonna be mumbling about makeup and chick flicks until next week....

**Kali** · 11-23-2002, 08:06 PM

Mmm, roasted pumpkin seeds. Yes, save them, please. *Kali was still chuckling over the joke* This is my absolute favorite time of the year. *tilts her head to the side* I saw this gorgeous red dress in a costume shop window today. I might go back and buy it if my aunt decides she wants to head out tonight. *rolls her eyes* Though knowing her it'll be toy shopping again.

*kyabetsu* · 11-23-2002, 08:07 PM

kya nodded enthusiastically
Kya: please, Vesita!

She turned to the other two members of the Sweet Skulz Club.
Kya: okay, (she whips a huge pot off the pile of slowly growing clean dishes)
Machias, I need you on CARMELIZATION... kali and i're gonna be dumping ingredients in this huge pot and dipping stuff out too, but as long as we're doing this, the contents of this pot needs to be in CONSTANT motion, or it'll burn to the bottom. When you get tired, we'll switch out, but for right now, do you accept your assignment?

(kya giggled a bit at the end of it, kinda ruining the "stern" effect, but no body cared.)

kya looked puzzled at Kali for a moment.
kya: toy shopping? like for christmas? ALREADY?

**Machias Banshee** · 11-23-2002, 08:13 PM

*chuckles* sure, as long as doesnt explode when it finishes...no Mission impossible stuff here..!

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-23-2002, 08:16 PM

*Vespera brandished the knife with a flourish and held it above her head with both hands. Hollow voice, effect totally ruined by laughter* In the name of the Great.... Pumpkinhead... I sacrifice this virgin squash to his glory! *She brought the knife down into its top with a wet splutching noise.

*Donatello shook his head at the girls antics, and continued to dry and put away dishes.* Yer all nuts

**Kali** · 11-23-2002, 08:16 PM

*Kali laughed to herself* Yeah, as a gift to herself. *smiles at Kya* I was using my aunt's terminology. She uses the term "toy" to refer to human men. One of the reasons I won't be introducing her to anyone around here. *claps her hands together* So, what am I doing?

*enigma-1* · 11-23-2002, 08:19 PM

*appears, leaning against the wall* And you're just now noticing this Don?

**Machias Banshee** · 11-23-2002, 08:27 PM

*looks up at the voice*

Hey Enigma..! What brings you here?

*enigma-1* · 11-23-2002, 08:29 PM

*starts to speak, then notices the girl for the first time, a look of uncertainty on her face* Uh...Do I know you?

*kyabetsu* · 11-23-2002, 08:31 PM

((((FYI THE RECIPE IS COMPLETE BULL_HOCKEY. thank you. --k ))))
kay waved to enigma.
What kali had just said hit Kya out of the blue, and she blushed a little, but rallied imediately.

kya: Kali, you are in charge of TEXTURE and STRUCTURE. There's two MAIN ingredients in Sugar Skulls... the SUGAR which will melt beautifully and harden to a LOVELY consistantly, but is a sticky god-awful pain in the tuckus to work with at any point inbetween. and the CORNSTARCH which thickens the carmelized Sugar goop and helps to hold in enough of the (small) amount of water necessary to keep the skulls from cracking and crumblinig when they're cool. so. i'll add the starter amounts, but its nearly ALWAYS wrong, and since i'm gonna be up to my eyebrows in molten sugar goop, I'll need you to be making almost constant corrections to the mixture in the pot.

kya floured the table, pulled out some sharp wooden sticks and a pressurized butane kitchen torch.

kya: basically, when i say, it too sticky, you add cornstarch, and when i say it's too brittle, you add sugar.

she lit the torch for effect
kya; i get to make skulls outta the stuff.
she turned off the torch and they began adding the stuff to the pot.

**Machias Banshee** · 11-23-2002, 08:33 PM

*She chuckled, and grabbed a spoon for the pot*

Heh, you should....I'm just not blue with steak knives for teeth...*grins*

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-23-2002, 08:34 PM

DOn: I'd noticed... just before now thought it was polite not to say anything.

*Vespera wielded the knife with great gusto, and took the top off the pumpkin. She retrieved a bowl from the cupboard and began to scoop pumpkin innards into it. Glop... Splutch... Glop...*

*enigma-1* · 11-23-2002, 08:36 PM

*still w/ a stunned look on her face* Machias? Whoa. Never thought I'd see you like this.

*clears throat* But I'm glad you're here. I needed to give you something.
