Soup's On (Open to anyone)

[dazzle_daybreak]

Josephine hummed a tune to herself, some little archaic french nursery rhyme she'd learned from Papa, as she put the lid on the pot and left it to the final simmer. Now, for cleaning. it wasn't as though she was a messier cook than the norm, it was just that she tended to move in one long straight line throughout the whole process. From butchering, to washing veggies, to seasoning, etc etc... a large number of utensils and measuring implements left in her wake. She liked to hand wash everything, too. She knew there was a dishwasher, but it wasn't something she reflexively thought of.

She supposed the first step was to clean up the blood, before anyone else came into the kitchen.

Dolemeck was probably one of the first to wander into the kitchen. He was bored out of his gourd, trying his best to not get kicked out of school. Especially since Kayla gave him a talking to! The young Englishmen sniffed the air, before opening his eye to see Josie.

"Been awhile since I have seen you, luv." He said, one hand toying with the eye patch that covered his missing eye. He wanted to make sure it was in place, after-all.

"What have you been up to... is that blood? Please tell me it is not yours."

[iced_cherub]

She'd be a little late on that, though Bobbi knew enough not to interrupt the chef when they're cooking. Though she did go into the pantry searching for the hot chocolate mix. As well as cayenne pepper. "Is there still room on the stove? Or am I making this in the microwave?" She waited until the dishes were in the sink at least before speaking up.

"Pickles really? I'd think there'd be more screaming if it was."

[dazzle_daybreak]

Josephine turned around abruptly. This scenario probably would have played out better had she not been holding a section of furry skin in one hand and a knife in the other. (Just what she happened to pick up first, honest!)

"Uh.... I'm making soup. The rest of the burners are free. Just let me clean off the stovetop first."

[dolemeck]

"You never know with some of the other mutants here, Bobbi." He shrugged his shoulders and lazily took a seat by the counter. "Besides, some of us have higher pain tolerances than others."

He would sigh, taking out a zippo lighter from his leather jacket and playing with it.

"So? How are the two of you fairing, today?"

[iced_cherub]

"Roommates with Rose remember? I think it's deadened me to blood in the kitchen. Either Rose has or Kayla." She went to get a pan for heating the milk and melting the chocolate. "Would you two like some? And I'm good P... Dolmeck." She can remember! See!

[dazzle_daybreak]

"I love chocolate anything. Yes, please." Josie grinned brightly. "Would either of you like some rabbit soup? It has to sit for a while, but it should be ready for dinner." She throws out the scraps and busies herself cleaning.

[dolemeck]

"I would love me some, actually." Dolemeck gave a smile, before putting his lighter away. "Anything I can do to help? Set the table? Look devilishly handsome?"

[iced_cherub]

She rolled her eyes a little as she poured milk into the bowl and got a spoon to mix in the chocolate and pepper.

"I'll try some," She grinned at Josie.

[dazzle_daybreak]

Josie looked skeptical. "...can you look devilishly handsome?"

[dolemeck]

"I always look devilishly handsome." He grinned in a rather smug way. "The scars and the eye-patch just up me appeal. And the good looks I got from me rockstar Da, the ONLY good thing he ever gave me."

[iced_cherub]

"Okay the scars are more interesting, but to pull it off, you need longer hair." She smiled as she started mixing the concoction in the pan. "I forgot the mint, think you can grab it from the pantry, I just need a leaf to help tame the pepper just right."

[dazzle_daybreak]

"I'd go get it, but I need to watch this to make sure it doesn't burn." Josie apologizes.

[dolemeck]

"My hair is growing out though! It's to me chin, now!" He stuck his tongue out at Bobbi, before giving out a sigh. "I suppose I will be the one to get the mint, then."

Dolemeck then began using his telekinetic powers to make the mint being stored in the spice cabinet move. It would shake, then float over towards Bobbi. With a gentle "tink" sound, the bottle of mint leaves would come to a rest on the counter beside her.

"Will that be enough mint?"

[iced_cherub]

She responded to his remark with a raspberry of her own.

"Tank you!" She opened it getting out the one leaf, crumbling it into the mixture she was making. "And actually way too much but it's good."

[dazzle_daybreak]

Josie considers the soup, in tandem with hot chocolate. "Dolemeck, can you make a salad? The soup's really heavy, and we should have some vegetables with all the sugar."

[dolemeck]

"I suppose I could." He got off of his chair and made his way back to the fridge. There, Dolemeck would take out some dressing and all the vegetables he would need to make a somewhat decent salad.

"With all the bloody sugar consumed in this place, it makes me wonder what the dentists thinks when we need to give him a visit."

[iced_cherub]

"I think I was made immune to the effects of sugar," Okay, scratch the hyperness she gets from it and maybe.

"And Miss Josie that soup smells really good!"

[dazzle_daybreak]

Josie blinks. "I'm a 'Miss'? I didn't think I looked that old..." She runs a hand absentmindedly over her cheek. Maybe she should start moisturizing.

[dolemeck]

"I dunno... that one grey hair on your head might say otherwise, MISS Josie." The same snark given to him earlier was returned with some gusto. He would turn his attentions back to the salad he was making, washing the lettuce thoroughly.

[iced_cherub]

"Older than I am!" She retorted giggling. "It was better than Ma'am."

[dazzle_daybreak]

Josie gave Dolemeck a look. "Obviously stress-related. Boys around here are awfully cheeky."

[dolemeck]

He could only stick his tongue out at Josie, before taking the lettuce and starting to dry it.
