26th Flight: [Voice]

[skyborne_mage]

[As Luceti's populace struggles with attempts to sort out messed-up memories and personality warpings, some of the residents are combating more... mundane problems.

The journal flops open to reveal a panicked Arche fussing with something in a pan.]

Come on, don't you burn on me... Oh crap!

[She jumps over to another pan, reaching for it... and completely forgetting to grab an oven mitt as she does so.]

Yeowch! [And, of course, she drops it, the contents spilling all over the floor. She slips on them, falling out of sight of the journal, and then clambers back up to turn off the stove. She looks at the results of her endeavors.]

... Dammit, why does this always happen. Every time I try to cook... [She sighs, turning around.] Where's Mint when I need-

[She cuts off as she notices the journal open... and recording.] Oh hell, how long has this thing been on?

[... Well okay then! Hah~!]

Oh well, your pride'll get better in no time. Unless you end up dropping another pot sometime soon or something.

[skyborne_mage]

Well it's a possibility. I try not to make the same mistake twice though.

[Instead she makes brand new ones!]

Really the thing I have to worry about is leaving my journal somewhere it can flop open again. Making a mess of my kitchen I'm used to. Having everyone in Luceti see it... not so much.

[accepted]

Good luck with that!

[Make sure you catch those new mistakes on the journal too.]

Might want to make sure you hide your journal or something next time then. Or just get better at cooking so you can show off and not make an idiot of yourself.

[skyborne_mage]

... Kid, why do you think I'm practicing? I'm trying to get better.

[And failing miserably.]

[accepted]

Hey, I'm not a kid. [Fifteen and proud!] Trying is right. Why not start really simple and go from there without using any of the big pots and pans and stuff?

[skyborne_mage]

[And she's over a hundred. It's all a matter of perspective.] I can already do the really simple stuff. Sandwiches, salads... pretty much anything that doesn't take a stove. That's why I moved on to this.

[accepted]

Maybe that's just your specialty then, stuff that doesn't need heat to cook. [Even if that sounds boring as hell. Who even likes salad.] Try doing the smallest thing you can think of one a stove then, liiike... Frying an egg, try that, that can't be hard.

[skyborne_mage]

[She sighs.] Yeah, that might be a plan. My eggs always turn out all rubbery, though. Or still runny. I mean, they're edible but not great.

[accepted]

Better rubbery than spilt all over the floor for you to slip on... How can you mess up frying an egg though? [It must take effort to do that.] I don't cook much but leaving an egg in a pan for a minute or two isn't hard.
