Scene #867: Kitchen Chaos!

Owner	Pose
Mio Morita	CRASH!!! "Oh come on! I didn't even touch that!" Mio's voice rings out as she hustles around the kitchen. The source of the crash was several baking pans which she accidentally knocked down. Still she is working her butt off. Quickly she grabs a rolling pin and starts rolling out dough. From there she mixes cinnamon and sugar with butter. Quickly she spreads the mixture on the dough and rolls it up. Cinnamon Rolls! BEEP BEEP BEEP "I'm coming! I'm Coming!" She rushes over to the oven and pulls out a flat of brownies. Another alarm starts going off. Another oven signifying that something is done. She quickly pulls out a flat of yellow cake which looks good! Its done cooking thankfully. Not like the previous attempt which we won't talk about. She quickly puts the sweet rolls into the oven and starts cutting the brownies into squares. BEEP BEEP BEEPShe moves quickly to pull out some blondies. "Ugh!" She wipes some sweat off her brow as she keeps moving.
Sayaka Miki	Two girls wearing the school uniform, completely indistinguishable by any metric were it not for the fact the one still calling herself Sayaka is holding a surprisingly lifelike plushie of a mermaid, are talking about heading to the cafeteria to grab a bite. Namely Klarissa is voicing her lamentations over the waste of time it is, and Sayaka is talking about how they can do it, "just trust her", she says. They stop talking once they hear all the noise coming from the kitchen. It very much sounds like someone is frantically doing things at a breakneck pace. Are they alright? Maybe they should actually go over and check what's going on here. Sayaka is the first to look there, turning her head left and right before noticing Mio. "Hey, something wrong?" Klarissa follows in, adding. "Are you ok?"
Mio Morita	"Oh um, Yeah I'm alright. I think?" BEEP BEEP BEEP! "Ugh! The girl rushes over to pull out a tray of chocolate chip cookies. "Sorry. I am preparing for a bake sale. I do bake sales on the weekends from time to time, so I can raise money and feed the poor. I didn't want to go home and do it this time." She blushes and looks around. "Usually I have my dad to help me. He handles the ovens while I bag stuff up. Doing it all myself is really," BEEP BEEP BEEP "hard." She quickly rushes to an oven holding Peanut butter cookies. She quickly pulls a tray out and sets them on top of the chocolate chip cookies." I just don't wanna go home. You know how it is?" She comments as she tries to explain the situation but no words come to mind. "I want to," BEEEEEEEEP "The Taiyaki press is ready. Sorry." She frowns. "I want to not be around my dad right now. Being away from him has been good. I took a little field trip to the USA and it really helped me to be away from him. I think it helped him too but I dunno." She frowns and quickly pours batter into the taiyaki press. She adds some red bean paste to the middle and closes it. "Can I help you two? I didn't expect to see twins in the school. That must be kind of cool. Always having someone around you can talk to."
Sayaka Miki	A bake sale? That explains the delicious smell. And Mio's charitable spirit isn't unobserved either, causing the bluenettes to move into the kitchen. This might not be the kind of helping they usually do, but if they are able not to get in the way and actually assist Mio, this is a worthwhile cause too. "Hi, I am Sayaka Miki" and "Klarissa Miki" the two twins mention for themselves. "That sounds awesome", Sayaka mentions. "Have you been doing this for long?" She sets Ula on a free spot in the kitchen, leaving the tiny mermaid to observe them while still keeping up the facade. "Well, actually we were wondering if the two of us could help ''you'' since you seem to have your hands full", which is followed by a nod of assent from Klarissa, though the latter really would have liked to have said that for herself. Klarissa is also focused on the apparent contradiction of Mio's speech. Her father helps her, but she doesn't want to go home? And she cherished time away from him. "I'm sorry to hear things are difficult between you and your father recently. This must be a special place to unwind too." "We get along most of the time", the two of them reply at once to Mio's "twin" affirmation.
Mio Morita	"Sayaka Miki, Klarissa Miki, It is a pleasure to meet both of you. My name is Mio Morita. I have been doing the bake sales and then feeding the hungry for about two years now. I enjoy doing it because I love to see the smiles on people's faces. Mostly I love bringing hope to the people that are really down on their luck. This time of year especially. If I could I would be going to KFC and getting a lot of buckets of chicken to give out. Sadly the most I can afford from the bake sales is stuff for sandwiches. The people are mostly happy for that at least." Mio smiles happily and nods. "Thank you both. It would mean a lot if you could help me. How about you both work on bagging up the stuff. Then I can focus on the stuff in the DING" She quickly opens the taiyaki maker, "In the ovens and in the taiyaki maker. I don't make a lot of the more local stuff but Taiyaki is something I can make." She smiles happily as she plates the taiyaki on a small plate and drops batter and some red bean paste into the maker again. She closes it and lets it cook. "Well my dad thinks of me like I'm my mom. He misses her and I really don't want him to look at me that way. I'm Mio. Not my Mother. I love my mom too and I miss her every day but I don't want to be her." She frowns. "It really is a nice place to unwind. I enjoy working on the baked goods. I like selling them off on the weekends. Even giving away the leftovers when when there are some." She smiles bright about it. The girl has flour all over her face and looks like she has worn a bunch of brownie batter.
Sayaka Miki	"I would bet", Sayaka replies. "If things are hard to come by, warm products like yours are probably a blessing, nevermind the fact they smell great", she compliments the work laid out before her. That's one of the things that had been tormenting her way before she made the wish, how many more people would have already made it before Kyubey would have had the chance to say a single extra word, while she had the luxury to hesitate, his betrayal aside. "You have your heart in the right place, Mio-san." Both twins start bagging up the stuff as instructed, while Ula still keeps track of the conversation, and occasionally, when she thinks she can afford to, she occasionally fiddles with the jewels in the satchel she has. "Sayaka has it right", Klarissa starts speaking. "Initially I was against coming here to eat at the school. We really have no business taking a rest here, since we had other things to do when it comes to helping people, but I am glad it led us to meet you. This is quite helpful too." And if they finish quick enough, maybe they still have time for patrol. Both twins frown when they hear the story behind Mio's reluctance. Both twins offer a hug quite at the same time. "Uh, just take it from whichever one of us you would want to, if you want one", they mention awkwardly. Really, let's hope doing similar actions at the same time doesn't become a recurring problem. "But you are in a terrible situation, Mio-san!" Klarissa exclaims with annoyance for her. "You should stand your ground and have a talk with your father about how you feel. If he really cares about you, he will correct his course of action." Sayaka nods. "Relaxing here is good and all, but in the long run, it's going to wear you down, so if we aren't being too forward, we would really suggest you to do that."
Mio Morita	"Sadly the baked goods aren't for the homeless. I sell these to get the funds to buy stuff for sandwiches. The baked goods aren't exactly nutritious. I can't in good conscious just feed brownies to the homeless." Mio giggles a little bit. "Thank you very much. I just love to help people. I love inspiring hope. My mom told me before she passed to Never lose hope. At times its hard to hold onto that but hey, Hope springs eternal." She grins before pulling another cake out of the oven. Mio listens to the twins and smiles at their compliments. "Well I am happy that you came here. I'm thankful for the help! Doing this all myself would have been a real challenge." She comments as she gets out some peanut butter and spreads it all over the first cake. Then the taiyaki maker is done. She quickly pulls the taiyaki out and plates it before putting ingredients for another in. She then turns to the microwave and microwaves some chocolate. "I know!" She responds to the terrible situation. Its a painful situation for her and she knows it. "Its hard to deal with and I don't want to hurt my dad but I've gotta talk to him. I don't want to deal with it. Keeping my distance is so much easier. I like it here. I'm free to be myself. Just not who I want to be I guess." She looks at Sayaka and hangs her head. "I know. I gotta do something about it." She turns to the microwave and pulls out the the chocolate. She pours it over top of the peanut butter and spreads it out. Then she puts the cake aside to cool down.
Sayaka Miki	"Ah, that makes sense", Sayaka grins nervously at her, rubbing the back of her head. "Though, I am sure they would appreciate an exception or two once in a while", she mentions, trying to salvage the salvageable.."Are you going to sell all of these after you are done here then?" These are a lot, and if Mio is as successful as she deserves to be, she is gonna have to sell a lot of these.."We could come along after, if you need assistance too." At that point Klarissa tosses a glare at Sayaka before addressing Mio. "My sister is forgetting we have our own duty to uphold, so at least I should have to go. We don't have the time, as pleasant as it would be." She pauses, her bow furrowed as she thinks. "Though, there is no nood for both of us to be there, so I can take care of that, while you both enjoy your time off.
Mio Morita	"Oh not tonight. Tomorrow. If I tried to sell them all tonight I would be going mad right now just trying to get everything together and get out there before night falls." Mio smiles happily. "Tomorrow I will go to the park and set up a table. Sell these to the public so they can enjoy them throughout their day. I get money for the poor, they get sweet treats, and everyone is happy." She giggles a little bit. "If you wish to come along and help, I would welcome the help. It is your choice of course. I can manage alone." She smiles a little. When Klarissa mentions the previous engagements, Mio winces a little. "If you need to do other things, you can. Its okay, don't let me distract you from things that you have planned." She smiles and stretches before pulling yet another taiyaki out of the cooker before making another and cooking it. "Its your choice entirely."
Sayaka Miki	"Oh, right, not tonight makes sense!" Sayaka grins in response. "But, hey, tell you what, how about I give you my number and call me when you are going to start. I will probably have the time to actually lend a hand since there is two of us n... naturally", she catches herself at the last second. "Sounds like you have a great plan, though, I would like to help if you would have me." "I am against us splitting", Klarissa raises her objection. "We really don't know what we need to do at our arrangements, so you should come too Sayaka." Sayaka replies with a darkened brow. "What's the point? Only one of us can do things at a time, so I may as well help Mio." Klarissa scowls in response. "You are just trying to waste our time! Today you wouldn't have even known Mio-san was here in need of a hand." Sayaka walks to Klarissa "Well, excuse me if I don't want to spread us thin like Madoka and Hinoiri have suggested to us", she fires back. "They don't really understand that we don't have a right to those things anymore, and I thought you would have instead, but instead you just like wasting time." Ula twitches in her sitting place, she really wants to split up the two, but Mio is there watching. Frankly, just the twitching may have given her away already. "Then you can forget about me and go do your thing if you are so set in your ways. I can do whatever I please", Sayaka replies to Klarissa, before turning to me. "My number is XXX-XXXXXXX, if you want to call me." Though deep down she knows she would stay with Klarissa if nothing got in the way."
Mio Morita	Mio listens to the argument. Part of her wants to interject but the rest of her says to just focus on her cooking. So that's what she does. She makes a few more taiyakis and gets them plated up. While she waits for the taiyakis to be done she cuts up the Kandy Cakes so they can be plated. She doesn't say two words about the argument. Its not her place. She lets the family dispute unfold and resolve. Mio does notice Ula twitching a bit. She herself has a fairy that hangs around. In fact, Pin is actually laying on a table in the cafeteria, pretending to be a plushie. So she just writes it off as some sort of magical stuff. She doesn't want to out anyone so she just lets it go. After all, she's got brownies and blondies to cut. So that's what she does. She cuts the brownies and then the blondies and starts plating them to be bagged. Once she is addressed again she smiles and nods. "Okay!" She takes down Sayaka's number. "I will call when I go out to to sell these off. If you need to go I understand. Thank you for your help." She smiles happily as she finishes cutting up the wares. "Just need to bag these up yet and finish up the taiyakis. Things are almost done." She smiles happily.
Sayaka Miki	Well, if nothing else, things are now solved and came to a tentative truce. The twins come back to help Mio with packaging her products, silently ignoring the veener of underlying tension between them. "I am sorry, Mio-san, that was a disgraceful argument to have in front of you", Klarissa speaks, bowing to Mio. "I wish you to understand I have my reasons if I believe certain activities should be barred to us", she tosses a glance at Sayaka. "Like eating in the cafeteria?" that one replies sarcastically. "Yes, like eating in the cafeteria", Klarissa repeats seriously. "I understand it may all seem insane to you, but I truly have my reasons." Sayaka is tempted to continue, but for once she decides to just move to Ula and grab her back into her hold, gently, despite her mood. She saw her twitch and wants to avoid certain things leaking out, though they may already be past that point. "You really have no subtetly", is the last thing she deigns to tell her twin. "We can stick around for the last batch", both bluenettes say at unison when Mio mentions finishing up the Taiyaki. They both look at each other, as if to say "Now you agree?"
Mio Morita	"Hey, its alright. Its none of my business. Especially when it comes to family matters. You all don't need me interfering in your disagreement." Mio smiles to them and proceeds to pull out yet another taiyaki. "I need like fifty of these taiyakis. They sell very well." She comments as she puts another taiyaki into the machine. She shifts to the stack of trays holding cookies, brownies and blondies. "Okay! If you want. You don't have to stick around if you don't want to." She smiles politely and bows back to the girls. "We are almost done though. The worst of it is the taiyakis. I only have this one little machine." She shrugs. She begins plating out brownies as quick as she can. She does so fairly fast as she shifts back to the machine when its done. "So what do you do when you aren't rescuing bakers in distress?"
