OTA - Ramen, anyone?

[10billionpercent]

Who: Senku Ishigami, Gen Asagiri, Roland Crane and open, so very open!
Where: Kitchen
When: Horseshoe 17
What: Senku misses ramen, and so in tradition, he's making some and there's definitely enough to share.
Warnings: Shouldn't be!

Locked to Roland and Gen

Ramen didn't just make itself, and while he could cut a break, it seemed unlikely that Gen was going to leave well enough alone. He was pulling out ingredients for the broth and the noodles and he grinned.

"Glad you could make it." He addressed Roland with a smirk. "Time to pay up." He said with a beckoning motion of his finger. "Come on, I'll teach you how to make ramen."

He didn't know if Roland was familiar with it or not, but most people probably couldn't make it from scratch either.

OTA - Everybody come and eat!

It may not have been their turn to cook, but Senku didn't care because he was the one missing it the most.

The ramen that is being served has a light, brown broth from soy sauce and is actually quite tasty. Gen and Senku have had a lot of practice with substandard ingredients, and so making it with the real thing?

It's pretty decent. They went with shoryu ramen because it was the easiest with the ingredients on hand, mixed with some of the garlic and ginger that they picked up, as well as served with pork - real pork they picked up on the mission, not mystery bear meat.

Both Senku and Gen were helping to serve and dress the ramen, just like they might be at home.

[Ramen free for all, grab a bowl and Senku, Gen or Roland, or any combination of the trio above.]

Locked to Roland and Senku

[fun_thementalist]

"It's pretty easy, my friend!" Gen claimed, grinning all too innocently behind Senku. "Let's wash our hands and get started, shall we? We're hoping you'll give us a hand with the noodles. Time to get ooking-cay!"

Gen smiled cheerfully and went to the sink to wash up.

When Roland offered Senku an I.O.U. in exchange for the modification of his gun, the last thing the president expected was for him to cash in the favor in such a manner. And if he were to be quite honest with himself, he wasn't really sure what to expect; the boy genius a little too unpredictable even for a man as eagle-eyed as he knows he is.

Then again, Senku did mention craving this particular dish, sometime ago. Quite frankly, Roland is more impressed that he was able to acquire a near-complete set of ingredients, scanning their setup as he approaches with his hair up a little higher. One of the animal aprons provided by Spider tied across his waist, knotted at the back of his neck while he waits his turn at the sink.

"The noodles, huh?" Immediately, he is reminded not only of a similar dish from his home, but of Goldpaw, and their love of dumplings and soups of the same style as ramen. "So kneading the dough, cutting it by hand." Sounds simple enough.

Taking over the kitchen for a personal project often seems to turn out well. Granted, much of her experience is Mami's excellent baking, and Senku is a bit of a sketchier figure to see making food when he's clearly some sort of mad scientist, but it's still food, right?

"Elaborate on this dish." Ple Two does not know what ramen is, however.

[10billionpercent]

He had, in his life, successfully made food before so it wasn't going to be too sketchy looking. It looks pretty standard, in fact. Noodles, meat, eggs and a few vegetables thrown in.

"It's called ramen." He explained. "It's noodles, in broth with toppings. Like...like a soup maybe, but not as rich as a soup because it's just broth."

[fun_thementalist]

"What would you like to know, my friend?" Gen asked, brightly. "It's called ramen - a fancier kind than the instant stuff you might've seen, though!"

"You're not a vegetarian, are you? Would you like to try some?" he offered.

[adregem]

He stops mid-knead.

How does one elaborate on it...? Roland actually gives it some thought.

"Hm. Well, these noodles - " He gestures to a pile of already cut noodles to the side of his ball of dough. "- are boiled first, then mixed with some broth, vegetables, and meat." He nods, thinking that to be sufficient. "It's called Ramen. I'm cutting the noodles, and those two," he nods his head to the side, where Senku and Gen are cooking. "Are making the rest of the recipe."

Roland resumes his task of softening the next batch of noodles. "Interested to try?"

[goingthroughaphase]

Kitty had come to the kitchen to practice making something herself, but paused a moment at the smell of something tasty filling the air.

Curious, she approached with a smile. "Hey. What are you making?"

[10billionpercent]

"We're making ramen. Can I interest you in some? It's pretty good." At least, he approves of it, and he kind of knows a thing or two about how ramen should taste.

[fun_thementalist]

Gen greeted her with a smile, too. "Just a little ramen! The fancy kind, not instant, if that's what you're used to."

She looked like a Westerner, and Gen learned on his travels that's what many of them thought of when they heard 'ramen'. "Would you like to try a bit? I hope you're not a vegetarian ..."

[adregem]

Roland holds up a recently cut batch of noodles, a slim knife in his other hand though pointed down against the cutting board. Safety first!

"Ramen. All homemade." After he makes a show of it, he gently sets the noodles back down on the floured board. Roland leans against the counter on two hands. "Senku and Gen cooked everything else. Want some?"

[laurefindil]

Color Glorfindel intrigued. "What is this? May I try some?" he asks.

[10billionpercent]

"It's ramen." Senku answered, putting some noodles in a bowl, ladling in broth and then dressing it for him and setting the bowl in front of him.

"I promise it's not mystery bear meat, we picked up the real thing in town." He grinned. "Go ahead."

[fun_thementalist]

"Of course!" Gen said brightly, serving up a bowl. "It is a meat dish, just as a fair warning. But it is delicious. Senku-chan and Roland had really done an excellent job!"

food food (give me any of the three, everyone if u like)

[blitzcheer]

Why bother buying a toaster when you can see about nicking one of the many in the upper kitchen? That was Tidus's thinking that led him out of his room, after getting restless and wanting to do some train investigation. And while there's usually someone in the kitchen - a few someones, actually - Tidus isn't expecting two of the faces he finds in there.

His brows go up, paused at the stairs leading to the second kitchen. Decides to call over, "What're you two doing?"

Senku and Roland he knows - the other guy he isn't sure of. But he's curious all the same.

[10billionpercent]

"We're making ramen." Senku responded, easily enough, leaning over the counter a bit. "Want some?"

There was a certain satisfaction in sharing his favourite food with people.

[adregem]

He glances up at Tidus from his designated station by the noodles, short piles of previously cut strands sitting in a neat line that makes up a grid of six. Roland talks as he kneads this recent batch of dough with an obvious force, using his whole body to fold and and warm up the fleshy ball until it begins to stretch between his hands.

"Hey," he greets him cheerfully. "Just helping fulfill a favor." Roland nudges with a shrug of his shoulder; the general direction of Senku and Gen who were busy with a process of their own, like clockwork. "Want a bowl of ramen?"

[fun_thementalist]

"Why hello!" Gen said, brightly. "We're making ramen - well, I will admit, we're having Roland do a lot of the work."

He winked at the stranger. "Would you like to try some? They're doing an exceptional job."

up for any!

[sos_pilot]

[ SLURRRRRRRRRRRP.

Yeah, Della's not one for table manners. She's far too happy enjoying her meal. ]

Mmm... Man, this takes me back to Tokyolk... I missed ramen. And so, so, SO many other things.

[10billionpercent]

[ Ramen is not really a thing to worry about table manners for, and Senku finds himself wondering at what Della said. ]

Yeah, ramen's pretty good, but...Tokyolk? Where's that?

[fun_thementalist]

[ Smug smile ] They did an exceptional job, didn't they? I've rather missed ramen myself.

What else are you missing from ... did you say Tokyolk? [ Head tilt ]

[wherewoof]

Colden followed his nose to the kitchen, lingering in the doorway for a moment before stepping in. He didn't want to invade if someone was working on a personal cooking project, but he was still curious all the same. It couldn't hurt to ask questions, right?

"What're you making?"

[10billionpercent]

It was a personal project for him, but he was all too happy to share the fruits of his labour, since mostly he was doing it for his own benefit.

"I'm making ramen, are you interested in having some?"

OTA

[ramengroupie]

"Ken-chan, I smell ramen! Ramen!"

"...So it seems. But the chances of that--"

Oh. The chances of that are. Better than Ken had thought.

Don't mind him, just going to awkwardly stand in the doorway, beholding the sight of his teammate....cooking?

A dish...from Japan? Or...

....Is his best friend from home, who aims to learn all the flavors of the world's ramen, going to have to expand multiversally?

[10billionpercent]

He noticed the guy he'd met as one of the new arrivals and raised a hand in greeting. "Hey." Senku called to him. He was actually wearing his uniform today since he only had two non-uniform outfits.

"Interest you in some ramen?" A ramen connoisseur might know this to be specifically shoyu style ramen, the noodles are being made handmade, the broth had been as well.

It might technically be multiverse ramen, but it would be typical to Earth.

OTA

[consider8]

After tearing down the sheets from her previous announcement, Eight has been keeping busy doing the laundry. She's feeling a bit peckish though, and decides that some food would help her work better.

The smell was heavenly.

She wasn't going to take any, truly, but the bowl in her hand quickly becomes a spoon in her mouth. She's not used to red meat and yet...



"...this is one of the best things I have ever tasted in my life..."

[10billionpercent]

He grinned brightly at the arrival of Eight and her approval.

"Glad to hear you approve, ramen was always my favourite food to eat." For many reasons, not the least because it was good.

[dragula]

Tohru's not much use in the kitchen when it comes to making things from scratch, unless he's given specific instructions, so he's very interested when he wanders in pajama pants and a t-shirt in search of something snack-ish that he doesn't have to purchase.

And it turns out to be very familiar! He'll definitely go for ramen, since he's kinda starting to miss it.

"Nice, noodles. The instant kind or homemade?"

[10billionpercent]

"Homemade of course." Senku said with a grin. "Roland made the noodles." He would be happy to prepare a bowl up for the stranger.

[xue_yang]

Xue Yang simply followed his nose. He could smell something decent being cooked and so he appeared at the kitchen dressed in some of his new robes. It felt good to be dressed in clothing much closer to his actual outfits from home versus those terrible hoodies.

He walks inside and goes immediately towards the source of the smell, looking down at the ramen with interest.

[10billionpercent]

He smiled at Xue Yang, and he finds himself admiring his outfit. He was in orange today because he wasn't sure if people would've complained if he was wandering around in his tunic-like outfit barefoot while cooking. It didn't bother him, but people could be picky couldn't they?

"Hungry? Want some?" All of it was homemade after all, the three of them worked hard on it.
