Rankings would be really convenient, though it wouldn't surprise me if that wasn't available. We came here before anything was ready, so... [ UnPrepared (bad). ] We've heard this plenty of times already, but "we'll see."
[ It is the second?? day of heroism... And, unfortunately, it is still wait and see. ]
Yeah, I'd love for you two to be my guinea pigs. [ die, no. He waves a hand to indicate it's a joke. ] I was going to make something to eat anyway, so come to the kitchen if you feel like it.
[ Since Nico didn't outright say yes, so he really is just expecting Will at most. To the kitchen he goes. ]
They wouldn't need rankings when we're all brand new. But Fox was saying that our housing and things were provided by sponsors. So maybe we'd be getting a ranking system that way? If we lose our dorms, we're probably not doing a good job. [ that is absolutely not how that works. ]
We've already been waiting too long though. [ it is day two. but he makes a face because yeah, he is starting to at least get a decent read (?) on lillium to know what is and isn't a joke. he sort of glances at will before there's a tiny shrug, and he's scooping up shame to hold it while tugging on will's hand. up? may as well go to the kitchen. also he's curious how well lillium can actually cook. ]
If they kicked us out of the dorms, would we have to go back to the capsule hotel? Because that would definitely tank some people's motivation to do the hero thing.
[just... judging by the personalities they've got around here. anyway, he is definitely tired of waiting (even though it is only day two), so he nods a bit in agreement with nico's it's too long and then stands up when his boyfriend tugs on his hand.
I do not want to return to the capsule hotel. [ Not that he's used to this kind of luxury, but. Still. Separated from more people is better. ] Coming along, huh.
[ Lillium really is just picking on Nico because of vibes alone, but it isn't negative. He may stay here with Shame and his boyfriend Will. Going through the ingredients... he starts mixing stuff into a bowl, setting oil onto a pan and a wok, then kicking up the stove.
Basically, he knows how to cook. ]
Cilbir which is a Turkish poached egg dish, but that'd be awkward to share.
I don't think any of us want to go back to the hotel. [ he says, cheerfully ignoring that ribbing because he and lillium just have this kind of relationship already for some reason? he's aware it isn't serious, but he'll be bratty right back just because he can. ]
Someone should be a witness, at least. [ but he and will enter the kitchen, shame on nico's shoulder, and they settle in to watch lillium go... ]
I have no idea what that is. [ or why it would be awkward. ]
[will, watching nico and lillium banter with each other, is simultaneously relieved nico has someone he can get along with and also amused by the fact that oh gods, there are two of them.]
I've never heard of that before... [he is from texas.] What's awkward about it?
It's awkward because of plating. It'd be a bunch of poached eggs on a bed of greek yogurt, so... I'd might as well serve individual plates at that point.
[ It doesn't take long before tasty aroma rises... and we going to skip over to the food being done. It's Korean fried chicken, scallion pancakes, and... A salad. ]
[ eggy... he doesn't say anything to that, but he's watching lillium closely while letting shame crawl all over his shoulders. food is done, and he's just blinking at all of it because it definitely smells good, but he's kind of staring at it for a moment. ]
You really know what you're doing. [ A COOK. he is impressed. he does not reach for any food yet, but wowee... ]
[ well. he stops being a little shit for five minutes to actually bow his head a bit. ]
Thank you, Lillium. [ and he will serve himself like a smaller portion. ] Will and I aren't really used to having to cook for ourselves. Camp provided us food, or when we're out we figure things out on our own.
[ you cannot go wrong with korean fried chicken, we've been obsessed since we got it last time. but yeah. it's fine, nico's taking a smaller bite and doesn't outwardly compliment it but considering there's a pleased noise and he continues that's a good sign. ]
Yeah. We lucked out. [ he says, knowing vane cooked for the foxes. ]
but it isn't korean fried chicken i'm sorry vane. whatever, this won't ruin his appetite for dinner. he is a growing boy and can eat this and whatever vane is making for dinner tonight.]
I'm curious how the other teams are eating. Probably not better than we are, though.
[he takes a big bite of chicken after saying this.]
[ debatable chicken tomorrow. he's listening to this and kind of leaning against will's shoulder while he's eating, but he does frown slightly at the mention of the casino. ]
I haven't been over there. [ in a tone that says "and i don't want to." ] But good to know for people who can't cook.

That smells so good.

[ Lillium isn't overconfident, but he knows he can cook... And Velinxi really said Lillium would be a chef at a Michelin star restaurant in an AU.
He takes a pancake wedge and dips it into the dipping sauce. ]

will picks up on that tone and gives nico's hand a gentle squeeze.]
The cafe's pretty good too. [until someone SULLIES IT WITH MURDER.] And there's some other places to eat around the city.
They've got options, even if it isn't as good as this.
[dips some scallion pancakes into sauce and eats it... yum...]
