Home is where the tart is [Open]
Despite not requiring much in the way of food, Zouichi did know how to cook. But with friends and acquaintances from wildly different backgrounds, he figured he could stand to expand his repertoire. So today he was trying out desserts. The inside of one of the Sensoriums had been transformed into a brightly-lit kitchen, its counters covered with baking pans, bowls, fruit, flour, and a multitude of other ingredients.
Zouichi, wearing a dark blue apron, was just taking a batch of chilled dough out of the refrigerator, rolling it carefully out between waxed paper sheets. It was looking pretty good, or so he thought. Nothing had even exploded yet!
From somewhere within the kitchen, the smell of cake wafted up into the air. Caaake.

After fumbling with the cord for a moment, she found the switch and flipped it on, only to fumble and promptly drop it when the beaters buzzed in her face.

...but it was kind of funny.

This time, she put it in the bowl before turning it on. TAKE THAT.

Zouichi set the two cake pans on the counter for her to use once she was done mixing. Oops, had he pre-heated the oven? Well, thanks to the magic of the Sensoriums, it was now at the perfect temperature.
"Sure you haven't done much of this before?"
no subject
Oh. Oh was she supposed to pour the batter into the pans? She could do that. Look at her, expert baker. It was probably not a surprise when she nodded in response to Zouichi's question. Totally sure. Never baked.

"That's good," he said as she poured the better into the first pan. Once done, he stuck it into the oven, setting the timer. Well. Actually, they probably didn't need to wait that long since it was imaginary cake, did they? He set it for ten minutes. Because imaginary cakes take ten minutes to bake.
"You know, maybe when this is all over, you should go into baking or something. It sounds a lot more interesting than 'test subject'.

She had to admit this imaginary cake business was enjoyable, though not something she'd ever considered. Chell tilted her head and raised an eyebrow, as if to ask really?
no subject
He shrugged. "Sure. I guess I don't really know what it takes to run a bakery, but even if you don't want to do that, you could always do it in your spare time. You want to put the second pan in?"
no subject
OH. RIGHT. The other pan. Chell at least knew enough not to let her hands touch the inside of the oven. Even if it was imaginary, it was bound to hurt if she touched it.
She carefully slid it in, shut the door, and then plunked herself right in front of the oven as if staring intently at the contents would make them bake faster.
no subject
He gave her a pair of oven mitts. "I guess we could just imagine the cake done now, but... somehow it doesn't really seem like baking unless you have to wait a little while."
no subject
Suddenly, her eyes shot open as if remembering something (probably because that was exactly what she was doing). They couldn't very well have a cake without decorations!
She sprang to her feet and dashed to the cabinets, opening them and pulling out a can of frosting and
some sprinkles.
