Hello you've reached Eleanor Lamb's voicemail. I'd explain what's next but I can't imagine you don't know what to do at the beep.

[Yukiko shudders.

Stares at her soup.

Gets up.

Walks over to the sink.

And dumps the soup down the disposal.]


I'm sorry. We'll...just order out tonight.

[Something comes over her then. Her knees start to wobble, and she can barely take the soup pot in hand without dropping it. It teeters, falls into the sink with a clatter, and she hits the disposal...using the noise to drown out an uncomfortable half-wheeze half-sob as the last hour goes down the drain. Quite literally.]

[Yukiko slumps down over the counter, shaking slightly as the water rinses away her mistake. The smell is...pretty bad too...but she just stands there, taking it in like a punishment for her failure.]

No...it's not.

[She sniffles and flicks off the disposal, wiping away stinging tears with the back of her hand.]

...I just remembered more about the other me. She nearly killed Yosuke and one of the twins with her cooking. They...called it Mystery Food X.

[A sudden flash of anger comes over her, like a child throwing a little tantrum, and she gestures at the pot.]

That's just the start. I managed to screw up an egg yesterday. I thought it was a fluke, but now I'm not sure.

[Still very upset, shaking a little, Yukiko allows herself to be led away from the awful, awful stew. It's really strange how she failed to notice that when she was cooking, but...here it is.]

...I haven't messed up an egg since I was seven.

[Sullenly, she looks back at the sink, swallowing hard, her throat tight and her eyes burning.]

...and what if it's like Anya? She lost the ability to speak English overnight, and now all she really speaks is Russian and very broken Japanese. It's not out of the question.

[Should she just give up on cooking? Probably. At least, that's her logic.]

The dumplings were awful...

[She admits that much. But it's hard to screw up broth with vegetables...]

The ones in the pot definitely broke apart and ruined the soup...
burningblossoms: <user name=yosukesheadphones site=tumblr.com> (Yeah I got a hangover)

[personal profile] burningblossoms 2017-09-24 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
...I...really don't want to relearn how to cook.

[She really doesn't. But damn that may be the only choice.]

This sucks. But yeah, you're right I guess.

[She makes another swipe at her eyes with the back of her hand, washing away more tears.]

...and now I'm just hungry.
burningblossoms: (Sympathetic)

Pizza's fine.

[It's definitely going to be a thing they get more often. Not that it's a bad thing. Just...yeah...]
