Current Mood: lobster

(no subject)

Today, me an' Duo discovered we're not bad at catching lobsters. Well, Duo's had the lobster traps out for awhile, but we finally got a couple of 'em. ~~I might keep one for a pet.~~ We're still trying to figure out how to cook them, but we'll get it soon enough I guess. I've never had lobster but I've heard it's some sorta delicacy, so I guess it's good that we caught 'em. If anyone is interested in trading, I guess we could do that too.

Hey, Kazuma, wanna come over for dinner? I'm gonna make an apron out of palm branches and spin around the campsite and pretend to be Little Suzy Homemaker, and maybe I won't start a forest fire. Cooking lobster is going to be an adventure.

... You put the lobsters in a large pot and boil them.

...oh. Aheh. I don't know very much about, y'know, cooking.

...well, shit. I don't have anything like that.

Scrap metal + transmutation by an alchemist + very hot fire + water + lobster =

cooked lobster.

...oh. Okay.

Thanks?
Want a lobster? I guess, as payment for your help?

....

... I suppose.

Alternately, a guy named Laharl has pots. You could try borrowing one.

Here y'go. *reaches into a bucket and carefully pulls a lobster out--thrusts it toward Mello, claws snapping in the air*

Laharl, huh? Isn't that the short ~~pissy~~ guy? Dunno if I wanna get involved trying to borrow a pot from him. Maybe the alchemists are the best bet.

*pointedly avoids getting clawed by the lobster, and just lets R. Daneel catch it xD* ...

He isn't that bad if you're civil to him.

*blinks* That your baby robot?

I've actually never talked to him. Just heard he wasn't exactly pleasent company most of the time.

*R. Daneel is so playing with the lobster XD* Yeah.

If you don't mention his height or pull on his antennae you should be fine.

*watches R. Daneel throw the lobster into the air and catch it* He didn't, like, rain from the sky like everything else around here, did he?

Antennae... Jesus. Never heard of that on someone before. He won't get pissed if I stare a little I hope, though I doubt I can help it one way or another.

He was following me one day. *shrugs* I decided to keep him.

You'll have to stare down. He's really short.

He seems to protect you pretty good from flying lobsters, so I guess it paid off. ~~He's sorta cute.~~

He's that short?

He can be useful...

He looks like a kid, so yeah.

I'd imagine. A little robot like him could really come in useful, since everything on this fuckin' island is set to kill.

The way I've heard some people talk, I'd've pictured him taller. Huh.

Not everything, but it helps that he is able to fend off certain hostile creatures.

You're in for a surprise, then.

Uh... yeah, sounds great. ...And I wouldn't miss watching you play homemaker even if dinner wasn't included. XD

Cool. I'll make one for you, then.

Oh, it's gonna be a blast. I might even set a table!! With a pretty table cloth!! And make Duo dress up all pretty!!

...

I dunno if the world's ready for Duo dressed up all pretty... ...and I'm pretty damn sure I'm not...

You're right: his beauty would blind everyone.
Anyway, we might throw up our lobster and there wouldn't be a point to even eating them then.

Somebody's gotta get dressed up all pretty, dammit. It's a fancy lobster dinner. I'm not gonna slave over a hot ~~stove~~ fire if no one's even gonna get pretty.

You're the one with a genuine Frech, blue satin dress--you dress up all pretty!

I ain't wearing that dress and cookin' lobsters. ~~It'd mess up the satin.~~ I'd look like an idiot.

Oh, well. Maybe we can opearte even without the pretties. *heaves a dramatic sigh*

Well, you want pretties! I don't care about pretties! Unless you wanna dress up Kazuma! Put him in the dress!

Hmm... Well, if you must boil lobster, I would suggest you plug your ears during the process. Lobsters do tend to scream while they're being boiled.

Are you serious?

No way.

Technically it's just steam escaping their bodies. Unfortunately, some radical animal rights activists like to believe otherwise.

Lobsters are like giant water cockroaches that happen to be delicious soaked in butter.

Oh. That's weird. Goes to show I've never done a lobster before.

*can't disagree with that*

*grin*
