Attention Ship's Company: Pancakes are now mandatory

[myironeyes]

[Public]

We need at least one more inmate on the regular dinner shift.



[Spam for Aeryn & anyone on the Kitchen on-call list who wants to be there.]

[There's no lack of volunteers on the barge, but Marsh dislikes the messiness of it, the last-minute rearrangement of high turnover.]

...why don't we just make everyone pancakes tonight.

[This is not a question. There is no good reason not to make pancakes for dinner.]





[To Jean]

You are greater than the things you carry.



[To Ned]

You are too forgiving. Don't change.



[To Iris]

With you, there are colors again.



[To Nathan]

I have never seen stars. When people try to explain them, I think of you.

I could help out with dinner. I don't actually know how to cook much of anything, but you have to learn some time, right?

[myironeyes]

We can teach you what is necessary. Thank you for volunteering.

[ichoosefight]

Fucking sweet man. Can you teach me to make waffles? Waffles are totally a goddamned dinner food.

[myironeyes]

Pancakes are superior.

[He says, despite never having actually...encountered waffles. He just has this conviction, somehow.]

...what are waffles?

[ichoosefight]

They're like pancakes, only better.

[myironeyes]

Ridiculous.

[ichoosefight]

Truth.

I would not object to doing my share around this ship. Especially given my lack of a warden.

[Opportunity to watch after Crichton's food and get closer to Aeryn and Steph? Yes pls]

[Private]

[myironeyes]

If Miss Sun strikes you with a pan again, I will lose two workers at once.

[Marsh would prefer to avoid grudges and ruckus on his shift, sorry Scorpius.]

[Private]

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Officer Sun was merely expressing a healthy level of frustration owing to my taunting her. It will not happen again.

And there are separate shifts, correct?

[Private]

[myironeyes]

There are. But the current opening is on the dinner shift, which is hers. And I think it would be best to resolve things with minimum juggling.

[After a beat -]

An officer of what?

[He should, perhaps, ask Aeryn. But they're both really bad at chitchat.]

[Private]

[keeps_a_cool_head]

I understand, of course. I rescind my offer until you are able to find someone less...volatile.

A Peacekeeper, as I am. If memory serves correctly, she operated a Prowler-class starship during the height of her career.

[Private]

[myironeyes]

On duty, she has always been admirably reliable.

["It's not her, it's you," - a Marsh opinion.]

[Private]

[keeps_a_cool_head]

[how dare u say that to me]

Officer Sun is very reliable. I was referring to myself.

[Private]

[deadly_ned]

I am not too forgiving. I'm just the right amount of forgiving. Who said I was forgiving? I carry grudges.

[Private]

[myironeyes]

Do you really.

[Private]

[deadly_ned]

Against...certain people.

[Private]

[myironeyes]

Less than total can still be too much.

[He's teasing a little bit though.]

[Private]

[deadly_ned]

I'm really a very angry person. I just have difficulty showing it.

[Okay now he's teasing too]

[Private]

[myironeyes]

You shouldn't keep so much anger trapped inside. It's bad for digestion.

[tease nag tease]

[Private]

[deadly_ned]

I have an entire package of lozenges.

[No, really. He does]

[ Aeryn looks incredulous. ]

It was my understanding that pancakes were a breakfast item.

spam;

[myironeyes]

Well. People might say that.

[He's not really sure what people say about pancakes, to be honest. He's still a little weirded out by the whole concept of 'everyone gets three meals at the same times so regularly and with such variety that there are cultural rules about to eat when.']

Pancakes are, however, always excellent.

[soliterraneous]

All right.

[ Her copy of Nathan's recipe is in her modified (half pictures, half basic English) cookbook, and she opens to the page and shows Marsh. ]

Acceptable?

spam;

[myironeyes]

Yes.

Work on the dry half of the batter. I will prepare the wet half.

[His version of sight is bad for things like 'is this powder mixed well' but pretty god for things like noticing specks of eggshell.]

[soliterraneous]

[ Since a large part of Aeryn is still a Good Soldier^TM, she gets to work before asking questions. ]

This seems unexpected.

[ Well that wasn't really a question. ]
