In which Watari catches Kidd working in his bakery kitchen!
Kidd: *leaning over a fat and aged looking cookbook, a smattering of flour covers his nose* Two eggs? Or three...
Watari: *walking to work, ready to spend a day cooking after he's had a nice work out ~ and notes that the doors need oiling as it squeaks loudly when he enters and reaches for his apron*
Kidd: .... *suddenly feels the hairs along the back of his neck stand up--something that only happens either when he's having a hemophiliac attack, at the presence of a crime scene, or when he has brain freeze*
Watari: *walks into the kitchen, finishing tying his apron and pauses, staring at Kidd and at the mess he has made* *says very softly, very under control* I do hope you haven't wasted my flour.
Kidd: Wasted? Are you kidding?? *decides putting on a grandiose attitude to cover up for his intrusion, but ends up spilling a cup of flour when he waves his hand out* ... ... ... Wasted?? Ha ha ha, are you kidding? >_>;;;
Watari: ..... Get a broom, a mop, and a towel. NOW.
Kidd: *robotically complies, nearly stumbling over himself while cleaning up*
Watari: *watches as he gets out the days ingredients and looks at Kidd's cookbook and ingredients*
What did you plan on making?
Kidd: A cake. *says a-matter-of-factly* Haven't you ever seen a cake before? *even though all that's there is a bowl of pasty cake batter*
Watari: *looks at the bowl and inspects it* It looks like horse barg.
*barf
(lol horse barg)
(shush you! :P )
(Hehe XD)
Kidd: Well, I've followed the ingredients exactly; I even added my own secret ingredient!! *starts to pour the batter into a pan, splattering a bit onto his face and hat*
Watari: Which is?
Kidd: The ingredient? It's a secret, DUH. *rolls his eyes and finishes pouring the rest of the batter*
Watari: Are you sure it compliments the other flavors?
Kidd: I'm positive! It's so cool that no one ever thought to do it before!
Watari: That doesn't sound promising. *mixing mixing*
Kidd: You need to lead it to the master, Watari~ *leans over and sniffs the batter in the cake pan* Baking is like solving a mystery; the ingredients are the clues, but the food at the end of the crime is your solved mystery~
Watari: *raises a brow* Last I checked, I was the master cook here. *knocks his head with a spoon*
Kidd: x_O *winces* Yeah, well, you've never made a cake like this~ *takes off his hat and rubs his head*
Watari: No, and I probably won't. My cakes are edible as a general rule.
Kidd: >:| My cake is fine. *looks over at the cookbook* Set the oven to 425 degrees... *looks for a rune scroll to heat the oven*
Watari: *rolls his eyes and finds them - he keeps them up high and out of the reach of children - and ignites without so much as blinking*
Kidd: Awesome thanks! :D *immature grin* I'll give you a little piece of the cake before I frost it, how's that? *sticks the pan in the oven*
Watari: *finds that horrifying, but reasons he can't be as bad as Nanami, and just shrugs as he takes out a cupcake pan and begins to pour the batter*
Kidd: ... *tries to sound cool and manly and strike up conversation* So uh... any neat mysteries goin' down? :D
Watari: *raises a brow at him as he lights the second oven to heat* Like why you're using my kitchen without permission?
Kidd: >__> *pulls up a common excuse he's seen many of his suspects use* I though it was okay--you know, open for public use!
Watari: It's a private business, Kidd.
Kidd: And my business is uncovering the private and the mysterious~ *cheeky grin*
Watari: *smacks him again* It's privately owned. You know better than to trespass.
Kidd: *winces again* Yeah, well, I'll make up for it when you can try some of the cake!
Watari: *rolls his eyes* Clean out those mixing bowls and utensils. Use my kitchen, clean your mess.
Kidd: *grumbles and starts washing the egg whisk* You don't have to be such a meanie....
Watari: It's not being mean when you know the rules.
Kidd: *sticks out his tongue while his back is facing Watari*
Watari: *sticks his cupcakes in and begins to work on the buttercream icing*
Kidd: *starts to hum the Sherlock theme while watching the hourglass*
Watari: *comes up behind Kidd and reaches past him to get down the coloring dies*
Kidd: Purple? *nosy stare*
Watari: No, blue. *holds the bottle of dye for him to see*
Kidd: Ahhh. Is it your favorite color? *suddenly his notebook is in his hand*
Watari: I don't know if I would call it my favorite. I just always wore it the most, so I'm used to doing things with blue in mind.
Kidd: Don't ninjas prefer black to enhance their stealth?
Watari: I do wear mostly black, but I have some color. It helps identify cell mates.
Kidd: You mean in jail? You were in jail? *his pencil is flying over the notebook paper*
Watari: No. A cell is another term for the team I was on when I was with the Kage. *as if he got CAUGHT and send to jail. really!*
Kidd: *he had his doubts that would happen to the masterful Watari* Well at least blue is a manly color. *nodnod*
Watari: *shrugs, not really caring and goes to mix his icing*
Kidd: Hey!! I think my cake is done! *peeks into the oven, a pleasing smell wafting through the kitchen*
Watari: Then pull it out. Don't let it burn.
Kidd: *grabs an oven mitt and reaches in carefully, takes the pan, then places it on a cooling mat* Mmm, smells good~ yeah?
Watari: Sure. *quickly whips his icing and cleans the whisk* Do you have icing, or do you just plan to present a blank cake?
Kidd: *reaches into the icebox and pulls out a covered bowl--he's been here a bit longer than Watari would have known and made frosting prior* Chocolate~
Watari: *notices and is a bit irked now* Really, Kidd, do ask before coming in here from now on
Kidd: *whistles a little diddy, pretending to be oblivious, nimbly spreading chocolate frosting over his cake with a knife~*
Watari: *growls* Kidd, did you hear me?
Kidd: You know, I used soy milk instead of regular milk for this, and it had less sugar? Quite a mystery what kinds of things those farmers put in the milk~
Watari: *ooooh, that might turn out good......*
Kidd: *cheeky grin; just because it's a cake FOR Nanami doesn't mean that he bakes LIKE Nanami* You'll never guess my secret ingredient though~ *takes a spoonful of the frosting and offers it to
Watari*
Watari: *takes it and pops it in*
(What IS it by the way? )
(Well, the cake is chocolate ginger, and the secret ingredient is raspberry gingerale XD;;; )
(Now, should Watari destroy Kidd's pride or leave it in intact... and i am not sure that would taste fantastic or not... )
(I have no idea if it will taste good either XDDDD)
(should it be hideous or suprisingly okay?)
(I figure since Nanami can't cook to save her life, Kidd is the domestic one XD)
(lol, so, it's good, but Watari will point out the ingredient )
(MAD SKIZZLEZ)
( XD )
Kidd: *watches Watari expectantly* ....
Watari: *hands the spoon back to Kidd* Not bad. Raspberry gingerale was a nice touch.
Kidd: .... *stares aghast* .... H... How did you know--?!
Watari: Raspberry gingerale is distinctive, especially against chocolate. I use it in a great deal of my raspberry recipes.
Kidd: D: Well, at least my secret ingredient is used by the master himself... So do you think Nanami will like it??
Watari: Nanami? Nanami has no sense of taste, so she'll love it.
Kidd: *doesn't seem to pick up on the hint that if Nanami has no taste and Nanami likes him... >_> haha* Really?! :DDDD
Kidd: Ever since that porkchop and vegemite sandwich she made me, I've wanted to make her something too, but I don't think I can live up to her skills....
Watari: *oh goddess, nearly vomits*
Kidd: H-hey, you okay?! o_o
Watari: Yes, yes I'm fine. *does NOT want to think of Nanami's cooking non-skills*
Kidd: I thought you might have choked and I'd have to dive in with my heimlich skills! ...*that'd be
so manly*\
Watari: *doubts Kidd could apply enough force* No, no I'm fine. *waves away his concern and goes to get his cupcakes out*
Kidd: *proudly resumes icing his cake, whistling again*
Watari: *expertly frosting his cupcakes, then gets out finely chopped nuts, and cherries to decorate with*
Kidd: ... *eyes him over his shoulder* .......... *those cherries would look mighty nice on the side...*
Watari: *create create create ~ he is creating ~ *
Kidd: ... *STEALS A CHERRY AND EATS* (omnomnom)
Watari: *reaches and smacks Kidd upside the head*
Kidd: *nearly chokes on the pit*
Watari: *glares and finishes, then moves the cupcakes to the display cases*
Kidd: *also puts the finishing touches on his cake* Voila~ I can't wait to surprise Nanami; although she'll probably masterfully pick out the secret ingredient too, since you're almost as good as her.
Watari: ..... Kidd, if you value your life, eat nothing she makes.
Kidd: *gives Watari a "Are you some kind of freak?" look* I've eaten her cooking tons of times!
Watari: And have you noticed you are the only one to SURVIVE that experience without vomiting?
Kidd: Vomiting? You probably just ate too much; I understand though, since it's pretty hard not to take just one bite~ *sets the finished cake aside and brushes the flour off him*
Watari: *Oh, young love, it is disgusting*
