[Open] Escapades With A Mad Genius

Who: Senku Ishigami and anyone who wants to spend time with him.
Where: Various
When: Imagination 1-6
What: Senku apparently has all kinds of things to do pre-mission.
Warnings: One prompt is medical in nature, it's not really graphic.

Kitchen

In the absence of a laboratory, Senku appeared to be using cooking to cope. No, he wasn't on the purple team, meaning he wasn't officially cooking, but it was keeping him busy, and no one really wanted him to have idle hands for too long.

From the time they left the platform, until the night before the mission, he could likely be found in there at least once a day working on one project or another.

The first day, he was busy using the new ingredient of honey to make a caramel on the stove, and he had bunches of cilantro and some limes on the counter in front of him, as well as a water carbonatation machine.

After that, he could be found with a few other projects. In one instance he had lemons, honey and coconut oil in front of him. In another, he appeared to be making some kind of marinade with soy sauce and a variety of spice packets and some kind of meat. In a third, he was slicing ginger root and daikon as thinly as he could.

On Imagination day 5, he'd found his way to a few mangoes which since he didn't wear his SCA on the train very often, he didn't get the reminder that peeling mangoes was a bad idea. He'd barely started the first one when he developed a rash on his hands and at least the skin that could be seen swelled up, including his eyes and lips, thanks to urushiol being present between the peel and the fruit. One might stop at that point and deal with the allergic reaction, but Senku proceeded to continue peeling fruit as though he wasn't immensely uncomfortable.

Spa

Senku will likely check out the spa late in the evening when he couldn't sleep one night. For modesty's sake, at least other people's modesty, he will select the requisite orange swimsuit and sink into the water for a little soak. Notably, when wet, his hair collapses into some semblance of ordinary.

He wasn't interested in a massage, but a soak and a steam wouldn't be out of place.

[OOC: Also available, choose your own adventure. Senku haunts most cars, he doesn't sleep a whole lot and he doesn't usually mind company. You can just add whatever you like - don't be afraid of the pre-planned threads, or you can contact me on Discord: Ammeschan#5385 or

He was in a rather excited mood, after having collected his own purchases, of which he had several, he went to find Tidus, who happened to be with Roland, but that was no matter.

Senku trusted Roland, so if he was involved it wouldn't be a problem.

He made to nudge Tidus' arm. "So did it work? Did we get a radio?"

Prior to going on the mission, the whole point of having the bread was to ensure they had food in case foraging wouldn't work, so Senku calls upon Inigo and Roland to give him a hand.

He was already in the kitchen, pulling out the kinds of things they needed. He had a jar of pineapples preserved in alcohol, flour, honey, a lemon and some packets of crushed nuts from their last stop.

It might have been a strange question to a lot of people, what to do with bear meat, but Senku had a few ideas.

"It does well roasting, you could do something that's similar to like a pulled pork that way, or even you could make a stew if you were worrying about stretching it out a little bit."

Unsurprisingly, Senku knew what to do with hunted ingredients.

It probably wasn't surprising that people might ask him about cooking things since he'd spent far more time in the kitchen than he expected to when he arrived, but it was a good, time passing activity.

He also had a soft spot for kids, and he was always interested in passing on knowledge he had.

So, he washed his hands and looked at his kitchen helper. "What do you want to make today?"

It's not exactly Nita's turn to cook either, but she's not entirely out of the habit of arranging spare breakfast foods for people.

Unfortunately, she's not going to be focusing on that today.

"Senku. You do not look alright."

If the man in question looks up, he'll note that Nita's not going anywhere just now.

Gen found it fun, running into Senku in the kitchens - getting roped into this kind of work involved pretty easy jobs and tasks, nothing too tedious or tiring. Plus, often, they got to eat their experiments!

Plus. Senku got him cola. Cola! Beautiful, wonderful cola. If he wasn't so incredibly fond of him it would've been a fantastic bribe, but. Nobody tell Senku - the mad scientist already had charmed him completely well. Surely it wasn't so obvious.

But he's alarmed, five days into their new ingredients, that he'd come into the kitchen to see -

"Holy shit." Gen came over, and would try to get knife and fruit out of his hands, carefully. "You. Why do you have to be allergic to the weirdest things? Since when did mangos have lacquer in them?!"

The best time to have tea was probably in the evening, so after a suggestion he have tea with her, Senku didn't think of any reason to decline, so he prepared some green tea, awaiting Nike to join him.

He wasn't planning on preparing anything to eat, but he certainly could find something if she was hungry.

It was his idea to talk to them both, but at the same time, it was Roland who felt the apprehension seep into his skin like ice. He sits quietly by the Quiet Car, hidden in a booth with his arms crossed over his chest and his eyes closed. The message sent to both of them from the neighboring ICP terminal before he retreats into the space, and waits patiently.

He almost backed out. But if he really was going to be prepared for whatever came his way - sent back and forth the two worlds he is now undoubtedly part of, no matter what - Roland couldn't come home without an inkling of what to do if the worst came to pass. Back to a desolation he couldn't overcome, not alone. (But alone, still. The only survivor, maybe.)

He steels himself for a discussion that he hopes will not reveal what isn't important; just the facts. Just an idea, a guide on how these two souls were able to survive their own stony-age apocalypse and bring back what once was lost. For Roland could build nations and kingdoms, has done it twice in his life, but has realized he'll need more than what he's learned from Evermore if he was to truly succeed.

Senku had been puttering around the kitchen for a bit by then and he already had a jar of what looked like a strange green liquid, but what he was doing now was getting out a pan.

In front of him, was a container of honey. He was up to something, naturally, as he always was.

[S'reee noticed Senku, adn suddenly a thought jarred to the front of her mind]

You were the one organizing the medical supplies a month or so ago, right? Or am I misremembering things?

[She really was hoping this wasn't a case of 'all other-species look alike'. THose were embarrassing.]

"Do you think we could make fizzy berry juice with that?" Eva asks as she drops a good ten or so cheri berries onto the counter with a wide grin - and a bit of untamped down excitement at the thought.

"Assuming we have bottles free for it of course. If not I can settle for a smoothie.

Do you know how much bear they have? So much. But there's not enough to make Tidus lose steam on subjects to talk about as more of the meat is put to roast, and as he's had to come down, clear out the empty lunchboxes and start washing them too. Maybe he should have thought about doing that before...

Good thing they've got hours to even wait for most of this meat to cook in the first place.

"So, Gyueran, that was the mission with all the crabs. I went with Blue since I heard Blue and Red struggle with numbers, 'cause everyone sticks with their own colour. But they had an entire island to defend, while Purple had to go in underground caverns to protect priests while they sorted out a magic block." Both important sounding, but Blue sounding like they needed more ground to cover.

"That was the problem the island was having: All their spiritual magic was getting blocked, or something like that. And so fiends were coming and attacking the island, and people had to figure what was up. And then Orange had some underwater people to save from a deep sleep..."

Tidus can tell Senku all he knows about the missions he's been on, or can be timeskipped to a later part of the conversation. Wow, fourth wall breaking.
