Morning At Home... [Open]

It always felt weird not to be greeted by the sun peeking through the windows of the Masaki home every morning, but for Sasami, she was used to it by this point. Despite being on an alien ship and stuck in the middle of a multiversal war, she decided that she'd keep going through her usual routines, especially after finding the Masaki Home.

At the moment, Sasami was busy making breakfast for those who lived in the home - her sisters Aqua, Starfire, Hoshi, Reimi and their new guest Phillip. Darting from one end of the kitchen, the little girl made sure her "family" was well-fed. If anyone did catch Sasami, they'd notice her not only sporting her usual hair ties but wearing Reimi's ribbon on her right pigtail right above the other tie.

Care to visit this quaint little home?

(OoC: Just a simple mingle post here as well for both the occupants of the home and anyone who wants to drop in! I'll make sure not to hog XD)

Zouichi had decided to drop by and see how Sasami was doing; after all, it had been a while since he'd spoken to her, and somehow he hadn't quite found the time to drop by the cafe. Also, there was that one little favor he was planning on asking her...

He parked his bike outside, shed his helmet, and wandered on over to knock at the door.

"Hmm? Coming!"

It would be a few moments as Sasami ran to the door and slid it open, her pink eyes going wide in surprise as she saw Zouichi there. "Zouichi, hi!"

Zouichi smiled, waving a little sheepishly in greeting. "Hi, Sasami. It's been kind of a while. It's not a bad time for you, is it?"

"Oh, no, it's okay!" Sasami said, reassuring him. "Is anything wrong?"

"No, not at all -- actually, I was wondering if I could ask a favor of you." He paused. "Is that a new ribbon?"

"Huh?" Sasami uttered, looking up at what Zouichi noticed. "Ah, yes. Yes, it is. Well... it belongs to Reimi-neesan." She grins sheepishly and blushes. "We... switched up..."

Recovering, Sasami turned her attention back to Zouichi. "What do you need?"

He smiled. "Ah, I thought it looked familiar. But it looks quite nice on you."

"Well, actually... I heard you were quite the cook, and I was wondering if you might be able to make a cake for an event I'm planning. I know it's a lot to ask, but I'd be happy to return the favor if you need any extra help around the cafe or anything. And of course, you'd be invited."

"A cake?" Sasami said, blinking. "Sure! I wouldn't mind doing that at all! What kind of cake did you need? And... what's the party about?"

Phillip yawned as he wandered down the stairs. It was nice of Sasami to give him a temporary room for the time being, considering that he was just going to offer to sleep on the couch and all. The smell of food was in the air and his stomach growled a little.

Sasami blinked as she noticed Phillip wandering in. "Good morning, Phillip!" Sasami called out. "You're just in time!"

"You wouldn't?" Whew; that got her a very relieved smile. "Thank you, Sasami. Er... I was thinking of a Black Forest cake. It's a German dessert, I believe... I found a recipe in the Media Library, but I've never really made a cake before, so I was hoping I wouldn't have to botch it all on my own.

"And the party is... sort of a moving-in party, I suppose? Allenby and I recently moved our things to an inn I found in the City, and I thought it would be nice to invite a few people over. It would be kind of a break from all problems we've had lately... the Clock included, of course."

"Oh, I see...!" Sasami said, nodding. That would be a good thing to have, especially with everything that's been going on. "But, I'd be glad to make the cake for you, Zouichi! When did you need it? I don't want to start too soon or too late! And, ah... c-can you get that recipe for me?"

She blushed a bit at that last request.

Starfire has decided that everyone has been entirely too gloomy lately. The crises have passed, yes? It is time to celebrate!

She is decorating the interior hallways with what appears at first glance to be a series of balloons. They're round and colorful, but definitely not balloons. Whatever her strange objects are, they make bubbling sounds. There's also a tendency to rumble and purr when they're touched, but don't mind that.

"It is a wonderful morning! Hello, greetings! Welcome home."

"Would early next week sound all right? I do still need to talk to Allenby to nail down the exact date and time."

He nodded at her request. "Certainly; it would be my pleasure! Ah... would it be all right to send it to your Omnicomm? I'm afraid I don't have it on me just now."

Sasami couldn't help but notice what was now decorated across the house. Where did she get these things? But, for now, it didn't matter - Starfire was around and she couldn't help but be pleased by her arrival.

"Star-neesan!" Sasami called out. "You're certainly chipper!" she chuckled a bit.

"Of course! Just let me know when you need it exactly and I'll have it all ready for you!" Sasami said, nodding. "And, I don't mind that at all! I'll make sure to copy it, though, so we don't run into this problem again...!"

"Ah it seems like it," replied Phillip with a light laugh. "Do you do all the cooking every morning or is this a special occasion?"

Starfire cheered, smiling brightly at Sasami. "We have so many reasons to be! The curse of the clock has ended, we are free, and everyone has returned home safely. It is time to express our appreciation for each other and joy in being together."

That meant she'd be grabbing the streamers as well. Sure enough, one appeared in her hands, suddenly being plastered across a wall by insistent hands. "Let us enjoy this day."

"I do it every morning!" Sasami admitted. "I've done so since... oh, I arrived on Earth. It's been my way of paying everyone back for letting me stay in this house."

Sasami laughed as Starfire began putting up the streamers. She couldn't help but agree with the idea. "Yes, we should...!" she said, nodding. "I got breakfast ready, so if you're hungry...!"

Cooking was one of the few things that Aqua didn't mind letting Sasami do so often. It wasn't a chore for the younger girl--it was something she genuinely loved. And she was good at it.

Where Aqua on the other hand...

Coming to the table with a pie missing a slice and a sheepish expression on her face, she said, "I don't know if anyone wants to try this. I tried making an apple pie, but I didn't realize these were something called meat-apples. The pie's actually pretty good, if you like sweet meat."

"Meat-apples?" Sasami said, surprised. She didn't know something like that existed!

"Can I have a bite?" The cook in her was curious!

He smiled, then gave her a little bow. "No problem. Thanks again, Sasami."

Similarly coming down the stairs in just a t-shirt with a pair of shorts was Hoshi, with her hair in so many directions. Evidently, she wasn't too picky who saw her when she first woke up.

She said her good mornings to people and then-- "Good morning, Phillip," she sleepily mumbled before blinking in mild confusion. She righted herself up from the hunched state she was in, then rubbed the sleep from her eyes.

"...wait a sec. When did you stop over, Phillip?" she asked, running a hand through her already messy hair.

"What have we made? Do you need a server?"

...yeah, it almost seemed as if Starfire had sugar that morning. She was all revved up and ready to go.
