A Nice Meal [Open]

For the most part, Sasami knew that the newcomers would be looking for something good to eat. While she had forgotten to mention it in her introduction post on the omnicomms, she made sure that her little restaurant was set up and ready for anyone who wanted a nice meal away from the slop.

The rules were pretty much laid out for what the crew - new and old - could and couldn't have and made sure that they didn't try to get more than she allowed - the food had to last until their next stop.

Now, came the hard part - waiting. Would anyone notice and stop by? The First Tree Cafe's open for business, everyone!

And Sasami, little cooking prodigy that she is, took notice of what Hoshi did, helping out in her own little way, but letting her sister do what she needed to do and not get in the way.

Once the castella was done, Hoshi went to put it in the oven and then washed her hands for the next one on the list, which was melonpan. Again, she got the ingredients that were necessary and taught Sasami how to make it.

It felt good to be able to spread her culture around more than it had been.

Indeed it was - it was nice to know different things now and then and if there was ever a time she needed to make it and Hoshi wasn't around, she could do it herself.

Though, admittedly, the whole thing was making her hungry even more, which she tried to hide from Hoshi...

The way Hoshi was explaining things was extensive and she'd definitely give Sasami a hard copy of it just to have the recipes around.

She did notice that Sasami was getting hungry, and she was, too. Well, when she cooked with her mother, she was allowed to snack on things time to time, so...

"Say, Sasami. Do you have some pretzels around or just a light snack?" she asked, giving her a little look.

"Hmm... I just might, let me check." Sasami said, hopping down from her chair. In her hurry to check, she didn't catch sight of a small spill she missed cleaning up, causing her to slip up.

"H-HOSHI!"

Hoshi turned her attention over to Sasami when she called for her and managed to catch her before she fell.

"You okay?" she asked, in which this move made her drop a couple of things, but it was like spilled milk. You didn't cry over it.

Sasami looked up at her sister, panting as she caught her breath. Her flailing knocked off Reimi's ribbon from her hair, letting her hair from that pig tail drape loose over herself and Hoshi.

"Y-Yes, I'm fine." she said. "Thanks to you. I... I guess I missed a spot cleaning up."

Hoshi noticed she got her pants dirty, simply shrugging it off. She picked Reimi's ribbon up for Sasami and looked at her. "It'll be okay," she told her.

"All we have to do is just clean it up, no worries. I'll get a mop and some water."

"Okay..." she said, calming down. Gently, she took back her ribbon and went to reset her pigtail before letting Hoshi get the mop and water.

It was a scary experience, to say the least.

Once Hoshi got the bucket of warm, soapy water and the mop, she went to clean up the spills and was still smiling. "You wouldn't have a caution sign here, would you?"

Sasami looked up, blinking. Of everything she needed, it was probably one thing she never thought of.

"Ah... no, not really. I... really didn't think I'd needed one."

"That's okay. Do you have a sheet of paper and a pen?" asked Hoshi as she was done with the cleanup. She picked the bucket of water up and drained it as well as wring the mop out.

"That, I do!" she said, chuckling slightly. She hopped up and went to get the pen and paper before returning to Hoshi, handing both of them to her.

"Thank you!" Hoshi said, taking the piece of paper and the pen from Sasami while she wrote down in Japanese -- 'CAUTION!! WET FLOOR. BE CAREFUL!' and then wrote it again in English.

She made sure to make her words big so that it'd be seen by everyone. Then, she placed it over where the wet floor was and smiled. "All done!"

"That'll do it...!" Sasami said, nodding in approval. Now that one problem was solved...

"Oop, we'd better make sure the cake's okay!"

"Right!" Hoshi said, making a dash for the oven. She opened the door and saw the cake was fine and well, glad for that.

"It's okay, Sasami! We're all set!"

Sasami let out a small sigh of relief. At least they made sure the cake was okay!

"Great...!"

"Yep! Now, let's finish that melonpan," Hoshi said, walking back over to where she was previously.

There was flour, eggs, and other things on her pants, but she didn't mind the mess on her pants at all. As long as Sasami was okay, that was all that mattered.

Sasami did feel bad that she accidentally got Hoshi's pants dirty - it was her own fault for not making sure everything was cleaned up and it was a waste of perfectly needed items.

But, for now, she opted to put it aside and help her sister continue cooking.

All it would take is just to wash them when she got home. Besides, getting things dirty wasn't new to her. She actually liked to get down and dirty once in a while and it was no different here in the kitchen.

She went to place the melonpan in another oven, turning the temperature up just to where it was supposed to be.

"There we go!"

"Great! I'm sure the others here would love to have some once they're all done!" Sasami said, plopping back down on a chair to relax a bit.

"I do, too! Now, let's make anmitsu!" Hoshi stated as she went to get the other ingredients for it. She was going to make around twenty or so of them, just to give some preparation if people wanted the dessert itself.

"I'm gonna have to write this down. Do you have a specials board, Sasami?" she asked over her shoulder as she was getting the ingredients necessary.

"Specials board? Hmm... let me check." Sasami uttered, heading back to the closet. As she looked around, Hoshi could probably see some of the stuff she kept in there beyond her vest - a few change of clothes just in case, some cleaning materials...

...and that white and pink princess-y outfit she got from their last stop.

Hoshi took a quick look over her shoulder while she was making the anmitsu, noticing the change of clothes, cleaning materials, and the white and pink princess-like outfit she got.

A smile crossed her lips and she went back to paying attention to the task at hand.

A few moments later, Sasami would return to Hoshi's side, a sign in hand.

"Is this what you're looking for? It's probably the closest thing I got."
