R43 - Y'all hating's useless

[The feed opens on a simple poster with the hand-blocked words WE NEED HELP IN THE KITCHEN.]

Testing out a new option to save time. Specifically right now we need a warden supe for lunch shift, until Ben comes home. If you're not used to working on a line or feeding a lot of people, we won't drop you into combat with no training. Marsh and I will help you out.

Oh. Not related to the kitchen-- I smelled a still running last month. Whoever it is, I want to pick your brain about fermentation.

Iris. You got some time this afternoon to talk weasel shit and entropy? I'm willing to barter for your know-how. [He lifts a bottle of oil into the feed; last christmas, he gave her a massage, because sometimes it seems like she metabolizes stress the same way Arthas eats death. And the feeding's been good on that score lately.]

Hmm.

[Riddick lives in the space between reality and people's perceptions. He's used fear like a weapon, and trust. He frowns a little at Stephen. Does he care enough to try to help? To risk that help is the wrong thing and he'll have wasted his time?]

I could ban you from the kitchens, but I don't see that making you feel better.

[dinosize]

I would like to still be able to stock mine.

[with_my_teacup]

Adversity's good for you.

But banning's not something I do much. You have to fuck with kitchen equipment first.

I'm out of feel-good strategies.

[dinosize]

I didn't ask you for strategies.

[with_my_teacup]

Thanks for the reminder.

[dinosize]

You're so welcome.

[with_my_teacup]

Let me know if you ever do need anything.

[dinosize]

Yeah.

[ Probably not. ]

[And other reasons significant others are better than wardens.]

Well, I'm all for it. Should I come down when your shift is over?

Re: Private

[with_my_teacup]

Yeah. I won't have any beer ready yet, but we can give yogurt a shot while we're waiting.

Private

[darknessb4me]

What does yogurt do? Don't tell me that's alive.

[but it's made of milk which comes out of a cow!

but so do calves?

Re: Private

[with_my_teacup]

Some of it has live bacteria in it. Some cheese, too. Sometimes it's processed so the bacteria was killed. I'll bring the probiotic stuff.

[It is at this point he accepts that alive yogurt has gone over his head (it is probably a space thing) and that he should stop trying and eat it.]

Alright. I'll be there.

[whatthewrackspurt]

No, I suppose it isn't. Especially when the Admiral is keeping most of it for himself.
