Cooking With Gladio

[callmegladio]

Who: Gladio and OPEN
What: Gladio cooks. ^^ Come by and eat his food, it's not half bad!
Where: Kitchen, mainly.
When: Fiddlesticks day 8. Afternoonish.


While he may not have been a fancy cook or professional in any way, Gladio wasn't a slouch in the kitchen. He knew his way around and he could rustle something up in a pinch if he needed to. So that's how he ended up in the kitchen with Noct teaching him how to make a simple spaghetti and sauce meal. Though he did go a little adventurous and make meatballs for it as well.

It was strange to make something for so many people though. He normally had a hard time gauging amounts and would often make too much of a thing. Now they were deliberately doing that to make sure that everyone on the train had a chance to eat (and seconds, if they wanted!)

With the train rocking as it was, once the HUGE pan of spaghetti was made, Gladio kept it in the kitchen where it was safe. He had bowls ready. When the guys got hungry, he would be ready.

In the meantime... he decided to make cupcakes as well.

"I've noticed this..." And yes, it was hard to sleep when the train was rocking so much. His sleep hadn't been very restful at all. But when he caught anyone on board who looked like they needed sleep or food he really did try his best to persuade them to get what they needed. He couldn't order people around of course. Some listened, just needing a bit if direction, but he also understood their need to keep going. They had a job to do and it was an important one.

"Once this is all over things'll go back to normal." He said as he handed over a washed pan for Yugi to dry for him.

"Pretty much until the next mission." Which he assumed was in a couple of weeks again, but he didn't know if that was the actual pattern it has or not.

He happily takes the pan and starts to dry. "I am sure people might sleep for days then maybe back to normal."

[callmegladio]

"Until the next one, yeah." And then chaos would once again ensue. These missions were crazy there was no two ways about it.

Gladio laughed then. "I don't doubt it. They've been pushing themselves really hard on this one." And that was just the Orange Team. He wasn't sure what was going on with the others but he could safely assume they were all in the same boat.

[sizedoesntmatter]

"They have. Though I do sort of wish they would rest a little more." But he could understand them wanting to at least, to get it done to their best ability, figure out the whole thing maybe sooner than later.

Who knew really. But For the time being Yugi went back to focusing on what was in front of him and that was drying. "I also have to wonder just how the other teams are doing as well. I hope they are all okay"

Gladio washed up another pan to hand over to Yugi as he listened to the other, nodding along. "I've had to make a couple of them go to bed. They're stubborn. But it's hard to sleep with the train rocking the way it is." So he did understand why they had so much trouble with it.

"I think things are going well." Gladio answered the next comment with as much hope and confidence as he could muster. Mainly because it's what he needed to believe. He needed to believe that everyone was alright.

He took it happily and started to dry. He could understand it being hard to sleep through the way the train was at the moment, but it made him wonder if there could be ways around that. But right now nothing seemed to come to mind.

"I mean nothing has gone wrong at least and there is a lot less fighting this time on this mission anyway. I can't really say about the others."

[callmegladio]

"I'm not sure, really wish I did though." Of all the magical things the train could do, why it didn't have something on the ICP's giving them updated news on what was going on with the teams was a stupid mistake on it's part.

[sizedoesntmatter]

"i wish it did to, just so those who might have friends or loved ones on other missions could easily check up on then when they are able to." it would seem logical at least to do something like that, but he didn't quite understand why that wasn't the case.

[callmegladio]

"Maybe one day it will? Or if we complain loud enough it'll add a little update system." It didn't need to be reams and reams of information. Just a general 'This team is alive and well' would make him feel better.

[sizedoesntmatter]

"Maybe if we keep complaining every mission it might work. I like to think someday there will be a method just so we can know that people are okay" Because sometimes Yugi wondered if maybe he should try going on a mission that's different from the ones Orange usually goes on. But then he would always worry about the friends he made on Orange team, even though he knew they were the least likely to get hurt.
