Matters of the Restaurant? [Open]

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

From awkward to ARGH-worthy. That's a good way to put things into perspective for Sasami's current situation. After the mission, Sasami had returned to her initial set of work - trying to fix up the restaurant. While she wanted everything to be in working order so when she did open it, there wouldn't be much of a problem.

However, things had gotten worse before it got better.

She had decided to make a list of what was inside the dual freezers and found herself dragging and hauling out a lot of it. Outside the store and a bit inside were boxes and boxes of what was labeled as meats and other foods, but had actually been other things - random scraps of metal, guns, everything but food. By her guess, the restaurant was probably someone's front for some sort of rebel group.

At the moment, Sasami stopped to relax and warm up. Tapping in a brief message on her omnicomm for some suggestions, Sasami sat on a box and began to ponder her situation.

"I'd think that would be reasonable." Sasami said, nodding at Anwei's suggestion. "I'll promise, though, that I won't touch your food unless its absolutely necessary."

She looked at the omnicomm and what she had offered before grinning sheepishly. "That... might be a good idea." She pulled out her own omnicomm from her kimono, showing the cluttered mess of notes Sasami made. "For both things, actually. Frankly, I'd like to get rid of some of this stuff before it goes off or something..."

"I appreciate that, and I just want to be clear: if I vanish and come back, it's perfectly all right that my food gets used up. Better that, than it going to waste."

"Works for me!" Anwei smiled just a bit too wide, then quickly relaxed her grin. "I'm more worried about the chemicals decaying over time and rotting the boxes, so someone picks them up and they break open. Would you like me to clean up those notes, while I go through these boxes? Don't worry, I am very good at multi-tasking."

Sasami nodded and handed her omnicomm over to Anwei. "Would you, please? It would be a big help...!" It felt great to have people helping her out like this, especially with a project this big!

"No problem. It'll be a nice change of pace for me." Anwei held the two omnicomms together face to face, letting them sync, and then handed Sasami's back. "I'll organize what's here, but you'll have to put in what's missing - I don't know enough about your standard recipes to know what staples might be missing."

For that matter, what she knew about cooking was mostly supervising twenty other people while they cooked. Maybe she could find something to barter for cooking lessons. For the moment, though, she started transcribing the notes into order with one hand and eye, while scanning the boxes for suspiciously discolored surfaces or the smell of chemicals.
