[ he's not, like, blatantly surprised that basilio is taller than him. but there is a placid version of a surprised blink when he's upright. hello. ]
I thought as much. We have technology in Teyvat that's advanced in its own way, but old-fashioned in others, so it's a bit of a learning curve, I think. [ he makes his way over towards the oven, leaning forward at the waist to examine the buttons. ] A few more functions?
[ i hate that i had to think for a moment about whether or not blenders existed in genshin. probably not the first three nations? fontaine maybe. ]
Yeah-- somethin' like that. Euchronia's got plenty of stuff, but it ain't as fancy as all this.
[ what if the fridges have AI, snow? ]
Right. The one on the gauntlet's basic -- it'll cook your stuff just fine, but it's pretty sensitive. Weather's gonna mess with it, and it's just there to get the food from uncooked to cooked, best it can. This thing-- [ he raps his knuckles on the front of the oven. ][ he seems kinda stoked though. ]
[ i blow up the fridges here before they go d*sney's smart house on us. ]
Mm... I'm familiar with that sort of experience. Even the slightest bump or breeze could alter the entire structure of the dish that is being prepared, perhaps even ruin it completely. But this looks - controlled.
I take it that you're one of our number that's familiar with the kitchen, then. Do you have a go-to dish to prepare, so that you can test the functions of the equipment here?
[ stares at where my bracket text fail ate a whole chunk of my tag. rip words you are already forgotten. ]
Right—?? Y’get it. Too warm one day if you’re makin’ bread and all the timin’ gets thrown off. Shite rises like it’s been paid to do it real fast.
[ he knocks the oven again. ] Pretty sturdy, innit? Looks like it’d cope with all sorts of stuff — but the weather’s not doin’ anything too weird here either, so maybe it doesn’t matter.
[ hmmm. ]
Lot of the main ingredients are kinda different to what I’m used to. The protein and stuff like that. Once I figure that out, anything’s possible. I’ll try cookin’ anythin’ once. [ the way i just realised maomao’s gonna hate his guts if she learns he can just casually cook poisonous stuff and neutralise the poison in the process. ]
[ that was like a little bit before you went to bed it's fine probably. ]
Ah, and the moment that you decide to check on the bread to see how it fairs - or even to take it out - it collapses. Not much to salvage from that. We can only hope that this weather holds true, although I would much rather if the fog would pass so we might see what's out beyond us.
[ he considers the oven and reaches to test dials and buttons and whatnot, listening to the click-click-click of the igniter before he realizes how it functions. once he does, he lights the burner. ]
If you'd like, we may review the protein together. I'll see what I might recognize to help you identify substitutes for what you're more used to. [ if you die and maomao is still alive i'll know who killed you. ]
Always gotta have a fair chance of disaster in th'kitchen before you start gettin' it right. Once I've got the oven down, it'll be fine. [ it'll be all over for everyone, they're gonna get so cooked for.
he watches zhongli messing with the oven, eyes following the motions and looking kinda pleased when the oven turns on without fuss. ]
Nice. And, if you're sure? Probably not too different to what I'm used to, but better than gettin' caught with me pants down over it.
Trial and error is the foundation of learning. But at least this seems simple enough - mild growing pains, perhaps?
[ he's looking forward to all the food their cooks are going to make, frankly. foodie ass. ]
We were already caught with our pants down once, I would prefer we not encounter that again. [ a mild joke. sometimes you show up wearing barbatos' stupid hotpants and feel a part of yourself die inside. ] I don't mind at all. It'll give me a chance to familiarize myself with the pantry, as well.
Been through it once before. 'Least I know about the basics this time around.
[ learning to cook with different equipment's one thing, learning to cook fullstop when you didn't have a kitchen to hand was something else. ]
Well. Doubt our clothes are gonna get switched on us again -- and even if they did, there's a whole shop now. Surprised they're not findin' some way to charge us for it all.
There is that, at least. Just a matter of familiarizing yourself with the new tools of your trade.
[ basilio out here doing his best with the cutest icons. but zhongli will figure out how to turn the burner off, not keen on setting the place on fire. ]
As am I, though I'm not sure with what we would pay. I'll not be finding a way to jinx us with suggestions. [ drifting towards the iceboxes and pantry. ]
… That’d make more sense than it bein’ free, at least. [ nothing in life is free. ] Long as it’s not gonna take up the next four years of my life or somethin’.
No, I'm sure many of us would like to get back sooner rather than later. If the passage of time continues while we're in this space, I hope that it will be matching to what we experience, as well...
Likewise, I would much rather return from when I came. I must confirm whether things happened or not, and see to them if they did. Time stopping, or even being slower, would be preferrable.
Yeah… the timing’s pretty shite. That’s why I gotta get back as soon as I can. Leaves you feelin’ all antsy if you know someone’s waitin’ on you like that.
Very much so. Hopefully... we can have all of this resolved, sooner rather than later. Enjoyable as the company largely is, I'd rather we all get to where we need and want to be.
