[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.

"They're all yours," Tidus offers, whatever Senku wants to do with it. But there was some upside to the containers. "We managed to cover the lunchbox and containers, thankfully. Piccolo, one of Blue's Team Leads, he can make them with magic. We got him to make two hundred of everything for the missions - maybe we can stick a few somewhere in here," he reasons, a quick glance taken away at the kitchen, but he isn't going to get distracted thinking about it right now.

"But the train doesn't listen. Doesn't matter that Red Team got stuck in a desert with barely any access to water. Terra - were you here for that mission? With the globe fiends?"

"It gave us tents." Which by the mirthless tone he's already using- "We got attacked once the globes all over the place turned into fiends. And kept attacking 'til the sun came back out. Then it wanted us travelling across the dessert on foot."

And, as Senku predicted- "With no drink bottles supplied. For a week."

Yeah, he's absolutely glad Black Squad exists, why do you ask.

"I feel like it's the train itself doing this... Nita feels someone in this, and it's listening to feedback post, and us." He sighs, shrugging. Takes the chopping board over to the smaller saucepan to dump them in. They'll need to be filled.

"But if it's the train or somebody else, I don't care. It's picking or choosing what it thinks we need. I ask for stuff for missions, it tries and make us buy lunchboxes? People can't buy drink bottles when they arrive. They can't protect themselves on missions." He makes an exasperated sound, the board put down and a jug grab to put water in.

"I didn't know if it was a trust thing. You know--I'll give you more if you do a good job. Or something." Which is remarkably unfunny. "Or it's just a dumb stupid train. Maybe it's both."

He doesn't like it either way.

"Yeah..." Really, he didn't like the points at all. Even as someone who got a lot often, it made him feel bad. Why others who put as much work into missions didn't reap the same rewards.

"It doesn't matter how hard you work. I wish I knew what I did to get points." He pauses, so the sound of the water pouring doesn't interrupt him.

"Even the cars are useless. I'd rather we have supplies than a new spa or library." But then, his voice rises with frustration as he remembers then. "--And what was with that? An empty library? It's never left a carriage empty! What a load of bull! And it put the stupid clocks up to a vote."

Ugh! Reason 4858 why he hates this stupid train designed to stress him out!

"People say we should be nicer and understanding to the train -- I don't care. They can do that. I wanna tell it what I think."

He may just be griping at this point...

"Roland works hard, but I got more points than him last mission, and I know I'm not doing half the work he does."

If they're going to bring other people into it, and comparisons. He could maybe bring up actual numbers, but he doesn't think about it right then.

But speaking of Roland. "Oh yeah, and being a good sport with the chores doesn't get you anything either. Nothing that counts. I got less points than the time I did half the chores when I did them everyday. So it doesn't care about that."

But he scoffs, walking back over to the counter to grab the thyme leaves.

"Hey, break it as you want. S'long as you don't screw the rest of us over by wrecking half the stores or whatever." Unlike some of the apparent recent attempts. "How about when we're on a planet?" But he quickly asks, the rosemary remembered on the side.

"You wanna cook the bear some first in a pan, then add it into the stew? Or just put it meat straight in?"
blitzcheer: (you gave me hope)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2020-11-02 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Haven't heard of SPORTS, Senku??? Chores is for dweebs!!

Tidus turns on the heat for the bigger saucepans, shoved at the back of the stoves. Letting the water boil for the one for broth, while for the vegetables, he adds some oil, to get them to soften.

"You know anything about computers and wiring? Even if you can't get into the engine room... there's still got to be something in these cars you can learn, right?" He waves a hand up. "Or the ICP computers. Not that I know how any of this works." He's just watched a lot of television.

"Zanarkand was more...holograms and projections. But everything here is more old-style. I think." What's a good word to describe everything...? Ah- "Clunky. But clunky means more wiring, usually."

"When we had the day where the translators went off, the ICP machines went off too." That he can offer, maybe help. "But the rest of the train was on. I think the train just cut off the ICPs 'cause it didn't want us reading messages from the ministry."

That was his guess. "I think they're just separate computers. But," saying that, "I dunno what you could make an ICP do."

Maybe he could make the entire train go down. But the mention of the SCAs does have him thinking further. And this time he feels more comfortable, or more determined to share info that might help.

"The SCAs-- they can keep people around. I told you, about anchors? I can't stick around without help." He raises the wrist with his SCA, situated on his left hand; standing with a spoon in his right, watching the vegetables. "If I take it off, I'll disappear - slower on the train, faster off."
blitzcheer: (remember to smile)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2020-11-02 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"You do what you can." He shakes his head, the vegetables starting to come to heat. "That's all any of us can do. And I have no clue what's possible!"

So leave room for what seems unlikely, right? But Tidus got what Senku was saying, his answer light-hearted, not serious. Not even as it turns onto himself.

"I'm not human." He looks over to Senku, smiling, as if ready to include a 'ta da'. Returns back to his cooking. "Or, to be exact- I'm a dream of one. So if I don't have someone dreaming, or some kinda power keeping me around... Poof. I'm gone. And I guess this-"

He brings up his wrist again,

"--and the train is it. My anchor."

"No offence taken," he scoffs, and really, there wasn't. The whole disappearing forever part didn't really bother him. It just wasn't your usual kind of conversation.

"If it comes down to it..." he slows, but- "I don't mind if it happens. Or you can disappear me for a while, I won't hold it against you. But I don't know what else these are doing for other people. It's not really something I've talked about 'til recent."

If he didn't already make that obvious.

But the vegetables and meat looked ready for its share of water, and so Tidus adds it, along with the rosemary. Giving it a stir before checking for the right lids.

He wants to object, add reassurances, that it won't really matter at the end. It's nothing that isn't waiting for him already.

But - he gets the feeling Senku won't accept it. And maybe it's nice to hear anyway, Tidus looking aside for a quiet moment before back again.

"...Thanks. Alright." Tidus puts a fist to his own chest.

"If there's anything else I can do, you let me know. With the train or anything else. I wanna make sure everyone's as comfortable here as we can make them. Especially on missions. I want to make my time here worth it."
blitzcheer: (heyyyy you guys)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2020-11-02 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, he couldn't deny how boring it got on the train. The lack of freedom or space didn't help it either. Though, Inigo had been helping keep him active. ...even with getting him cooking with Senku now, apparently.

"We try passing them out to the teams to do something with the lunchboxes and supplies, but to be honest, it's kinda a pain," Tidus admits. "One of Blue Team's leads had everything sorted far as I know, and the others... Well, Lightning looks after Red. She's part of this too. But if Orange didn't give you anything, I'll have to talk to Curufin or Eva. Like I said, we have two hundred of these things. But," he admits, "we do need bigger water containers. All we've been supplying are the sports bottles. These."

Since he is wearing his arms band, and he can show Senku, moving over to the counter, away from the chopping boards. In the glitter and gold, the sports bottle appears first, and next a purple lunchbox.

"These are my own, but they're based on these. We fit them into suitcases that we then put in the arms, so you can grab a bunch out at once."

But, with that said- "Piccolo might be able to make a water container we can use. It shouldn't be difficult for him."
blitzcheer: (very gud thinker)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2020-11-02 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Tidus hums, a kind of frustrated sound.

"Eva was missing last mission... to be honest, I had nothing to do with it." And now he's feeling bad, even though he's not the only one doing this.

"We can definitely supply bigger though. We got spare arms band, but... Glorfindel? I think he gave one to the other team leads for a quartermaster?" He puts up his hands. "But I really don't know what anyone's doing. Getting the team leads to talk to each other is a pain...or, it was when I tried asking about it. But everyone tells me the whole point of the team leads is to keep track of who's going where."

So much for that, in Senku's experience.

"So what are you thinking? Bigger water supplies, making sure the team leads are actually doing their jobs? Having people forage and hunt where they can?"

Linked? It takes Tidus a second before he gets it. Right, that thing. Otherwise, he listens to Senku without interruption, finding what he had to say interesting. Comparing it to what he knew, mulling over the information, his own experience with teams.

"Well, over on Blue Team, we were always stuck together. But I think this is a good idea, why people should be sharing these ideas. Figuring what's good for the teams." For example, Tidus gesturing out a hand, palm facing upward, "Blue Team had a comms-assigned person. She was listening out on the comms and keeping track of everything, even though, we couldn't really move that far away from each other."

So at least for Blue, they had that.

"The arms and people meeting up to get the supplies was the idea of even buying them and offering them out. You know? Have someone you know who can hold onto them, do it whatever way you need to." He pauses, and then offers, "I don't think this is bad to bring up though. If everyone got left to their own devices and weren't supplied..." he frowns, mouth tight.

"We need to shove all the leads into a room and tell 'em. There's no point buying potions and that if teams aren't taking them. Or if you don't know who you can go for healing."

But that reminds him now, of a while back...

"How does Orange run things? I've never been on Orange team, 'cept for a few hours. They had a meeting, didn't they? Sometime after Purple's?"

What did Senku learn from that?
