[It was an off day or something. Because everything Zeke was cooking was turning out terribly. The custard wasn't coming together just right. The meat was dry. He nearly burnt the milk and ruined the rice.

Granted, none of it's totally ruined, but IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH GDIT and he's feeling pretty disappointed in himself.]

Think I'm losin' my edge.

[This is the worst thing in the world, everyone.]

I've got some food here that could use eating if you're feeling hungry. It's not great but I don't wanna waste it.

[If you, you know, want less than perfect food.

Normally he doesn't cook this much but he got frustrated. So now he's sulking in the kitchen trying to save his damn custard pies and pudding.]

[Action] WHOOPS

[helluvachin]

A few days? Why wait so long?

[Sure this isn't like Fiel's cooking but this stuff is far from bad.]

Re: [Action] WHOOPS

[thenotmagician]

Think I need to give myself a break.

[Before he just blows up the kitchen or something.]

:)

[fallintheriver]

A failure at what? I think your food is really good.

[Because obviously that is the problem right]

[Action]

[helluvachin]

That sucks. I get a taste and then you take off.

[If Zeke can't tell Zachariah very much loves food, and with all the work he does he eats a lot of it.]

I bet the crows would be happy I got lost; they'd get a free meal. But no, don't worry. I know exactly where I am.

Why d'you think you're losing your edge, though?

[his_angel]

[Yeah, because he's not already a huge fucking creeper. :|

At his response, her lips curl and she smiles at him.]

I'm certain it is still good, monsieur.

[To prove her point, she breaks off some of the pie crust and pops it into her mouth. She chews and swallows, amusement all over her features.]

You see? I am perfectly well and your cooking is nothing short of delightful.

[salamandher]

Oh hells yes.

[salamandher]

... Where are you?

[dominateartimus]

Really? Despite me just talking about death?

[He's watching Zeke with interest.]

Re: [Action]

[thenotmagician]

[Zeke.

Zeke you are DISAPPOINTING PEOPLE.

This is way more distressing than failure to cook things properly.]

I'm not takin' off. How about tomorrow?

[thenotmagician]

[SIGH okay whatever, since you people are so insistent that it's good.]

Well, it could be better, that's all.

[thenotmagician]

Just don't do it again or I will have ta kick ya out. You'll spoil th'food talking like that.

Re: [Audio]

[thenotmagician]

Th'kitchen.

Re: :)

[thenotmagician]

[Aaaawh Ezra.]

Things aren't turnin' out the way they should.

Re: [audio]

[thenotmagician]

Everything I've cooked today's been crap.

[dominateartimus]

[He raises an eyebrow at the mention of the food spoiling.]

Now, I don't think that's possible unless I had the ability to decay things with touch or breath.

[thenotmagician]

[That actually gets Zeke to laugh. Hard.

HAHAHAHA]

[Action]

[helluvachin]

[Zachariah brightens up after hearing that.]

As long as you make more food like this I'll be there.

[dominateartimus]

[He stares at Zeke for a moment before smirking a bit.]

Now you think death is funny.

Re: [Action]

[thenotmagician]

Welp, hopefully it'll be better than this. Today's a fluke.

[Hello optimism where the fuck have you been.]

[thenotmagician]

I'm not laughin' at death.

Re: [Action]

[helluvachin]

Then it's one tasty fluke.

[That's the spirit Zeke! Buck up and make more food that Zachariah can eat!]

[his_angel]

[That's because we are right and you are wrong, Zeke.

Christine smiles as he sighs and finally relents, nose crinkling slightly.]

This is perhaps the truth, but that means only that you will hae to try again, monsieur, yes?

Re: [Action]

[thenotmagician]

S'what everyone keeps insisting anyway.

[Pause]

You're th'guy with the tag idea, right?

Re: [Action]

[helluvachin]

That's because they have taste buds.

[Zachariah grins.]

Yeah that's me.
