R1 DEADLAND

[lockdownmods]

[it’s strange, for the people who were already dead, the shift in scenery is sudden and complete. For those who have just arrived? It’s like you’re back where you left?

How strange.

But if you ever need her, you can always reach out to the guardian of this place.]

I mean, you haven't made anything bad since you've been cooking here, so I wouldn't be too worried.

[ He's not expecting a professional crepe stand product here anyway, and even if they do manage to turn out bad, he's not going to be any less grateful. Thought counts more than crepe quality!

That said, it looks pretty good when it slides onto his plate! ]

Hmm... Maybe chestnut? It's the first day of autumn too, so that seems like kind of a good way to kick it off.

[starswink]

Oh, you think? [He beams, totally flattered. Yoosung knows his cooking is hit-or-miss, but if they were all hits for someone then maybe he doesn't have to angst about the implications of being coded for imperfection.]

Yeah, that's true! Like I said, we gotta feel the seasons whatever way we can get~ [Though when he said that earlier, they were not aware that there could literally be no true changing seasons here...

Anyway, he takes the little bowl of the chestnut cream and spoons some into the middle of the crepe. The texture may be a bit too nutty, since he wasn't sure how long to puree the chestnuts or to mix them with the heavy cream. But overall it should still be sweet and tasty.

For all of the crepes, he has a little bit of powdered sugar to dust it with after he's finished folding it up. He also thought chocolate syrup would go well with either the strawberry or the chestnut, so he'll ask him if he wants some and if so, drizzle it on in the shape of a smiley face just like he'd do with the ketchup on omurice.]

There! Is that good?

[ To be perfectly fair, Mishima doesn't exactly have high standards or a lot of strong opinions when it comes to food, so it's pretty easy to keep things out of the "miss" column for him, whether they're legitimate hits or not. But if his evaluation makes Yoosung happy, the details probably don't really matter!

He'll just take a little bit of chocolate drizzle on this one, since the chestnut flavor is kind of subtle already and he doesn't want to mask it too much. He'll go all out with it whenever he tries a strawberry one, though.

It's definitely different having breakfast crepes on a plate with a fork like this, compared to the fancy rolled-up ones you get at stands and carry around. But the flavor is similar, and it's obviously warm and fresh! ]

Mm-- Yeah, it is!

[ Sure, the filling could stand to be a little creamier, but he won't complain. ]

You want to try it and see how it turned out?

[ Cuts off a little piece and holds out fork? ]

[starswink]

Oh, sure. [Yoosung will definitely be cooking a lot more of these before he stops to eat some himself, so he's grateful for the little sample - and Yoosung lives in the moment enough that he just leans over and takes the bite straight off the fork in his hand.]

Mmm - good! [He backs off then, placing a hand on his cheek happily after he gets it down. He thinks the taste is fine too... Although, there are tears in his heart when he remembers that sharing food in quite this way is totally more what he'd imagined happening with his girlfriend than in the afterlife with his younger guy friend.... but this is not the time to make things weird, so he's just going to sweep that thought under the rug and retreat back behind the counter. More importantly, he's let the crepe linger on his palate and he should think about it.]

Hmm. Still, I wonder if it would help if I whipped the cream more...

[He can just try whisking this until someone else comes in or Mishima wants a strawberry one. Then again, maybe he just wants to stay busy.]

[supportrole]

Maybe, it's not quite as smooth as the stuff I've had before. Still tastes really good, though!

[ As Mishima brings the fork back to his mouth for another bite, he briefly pauses at the realization that this is technically going to be kind of an indirect kiss. But-- well, that doesn't count if it's with another guy, he's pretty sure, even if it is the first one.

So he takes that bite, and enjoys it. ]

Oh! Actually, speaking of whipped cream, if we have just the regular kind, that would be pretty good as an extra topping.

[starswink]

[boy you are lonely if you're thinking about having your first kiss be a fork - I mean.]

Oh yeah, that would be good! I think we still have a little left from the french toast on Wednesday?

[He'll pass the bowl over to rummage in the fridge then. Sometimes Yoosung is like a puppy who will do whatever you say...]

[supportrole]

[ l o o k ]

Nice!

[ He'll slow down a little so he can get in on this potential whipped cream action if they have it. ]

So did you find a recipe somewhere or did you just figure out how to make these yourself?

[starswink]

Nah, I didn't figure it out... there's a handful of cookbooks in the library. Luckily crepes are popular around the world!

[Maybe 'worlds' would be even more accurate, but he certainly can't tell the difference when it comes to cuisine. He finds the can of whipped topping and shakes it up, handing it over to Mishima - he figures he'll know how much he wants.]

I think this is half gone, but it should do the trick.
