Another Naja Chore Log - Mostly OTA

Who: Najaran, her cards, and whomsoever wishes some more threading!
Where: Garden, Kitchen, and spaces between.
When: Pretty much every day after the Storm ended until the new platform
What: Najaran does chores. In her own special way.
Warnings: possible mentions of gross, violence, and such. Also headaches, probably.




After her trip to be healed - see the first top level - Naja was back to chores. Even if she was tired and draggy. For those who have never seen this, Najaran doing chores starts with gathering the largest pot in the kitchen - cleaning it if it needs it - and filling it with water before dragging it to the garden car, where she lights a fire under it on a special rig. She summons Knight to watch the fire for her as she and Goligan and Ediolan and Gremlin dash around to gather all the dirty clothes and the ingredients for soup. Then she returned to the garden car, going between washing the dirty wash in the pot, hanging the clean stuff to dry, folding what is already dry for returning, and prepping the meat an veg for the stew. Once all the laundry is washed and either hanging to dry or already dry - if she can convince a certain elf who radiates heat to keep her company - she lugs the pot to the kitchen, washes the pot out, then refills it with water, spices, and seasoning, then hauls it back to the garden car to make the stew. She makes it in large batches to fill the fridge with it so people can eat whenever they want a meal. Now that she knows how to use the oven, after the stew is done and the garden car cleaned up, she'd draw her creatures back to their cards, and then started working in the kitchen, making pizza and breads and cakes and whatever she could make until she was too tired to kneed and mix any more. Then she'd sit by the oven, resting, while the last batches baked....

"What did you do?" Glorfindel asked, looking concerned. His glow might have flared a little in response to her obvious injury. He thought her staff was supposed to help keep her safe...though he didn't expect miracles, to be honest.

He was in the medical car topping off the non-medicinal supplies for the doctors, so he had sandwiches out on the table as well.

Garden Car

Takato had been wandering around the different cars in search of something to do. As always, Guilmon was accompanying him. He'd thought that maybe it would be fun to spend some time in the garden. It was a little like a park, after all.

He hadn't really expected to find an open fire here.

"Why are you cooking here?" he wonders aloud. "Isn't there a kitchen on the train?"

Guilmon sniffs curiously at the two creatures.

"Takato, I don't think that they're digimon. They don't smell like data."

Takato watches them with equal curiosity. "I don't think they are, boy." He turns and addresses Najaran. "They're not,are they?" A frown. "But if you're making stew.... What about the stovetop?"

"That's right!" Takato says brightly. "Guilmon is a digimon too."

A frown. "Cards?" Were they like the Duel Monsters cards that Kaiba and Rei had shown him?

"Mmm, the stovetop is usually on top of the oven. It gets hot so you can cook things in pots on top of it."

"That's why kids aren't supposed to use it by themselves. The top of it can get really hot! But I guess fire is dangerous too if you get too close to it.""

"So are stoves.At home hardly anyone cooks over fires any more. "He laughs slightly. "I think I've only ever done that when I was camping with friends."

Takato hesitates. He could....

But.

"Maybe it would be better if you found someone older who could explain? I don't think I'm always very good at that."

"Goligan is your friend?" He wasn't a digimon, but....

"That's just like us! Guilmon has always been with Takato."

"Guilmon was just like a baby when we first met. Sometimes I still can't believe how much he's grown."

"So its like you're partners too?"

"I can understand that. We were separated once, and it was awful." Takato pastes on a smile. "But that's why I was so happy when I saw that Guilmon had been brought here too. We might be stuck here now, but at least we're together."

"That's really great! I hope you get all of your friends back soon."

"I'm sure! Its always better when friends can be together."
