65th Transformation [text | action for Shark House]
[There's just a short text from Envy's number today:]
Hypothetically, if you have to use a fire extinguisher on an oven, the oven would still work afterwards right?
[Any of Envy's housemates who came to investigate the mix of angry and then panicked shouting that happened shortly before that text went out will be able to find him sitting on the edge of the couch, with flecks of foam all over his front and in his hair, staring at the door to the kitchen like he'd like to murder it. There's a thick, acrid smoke spilling out of the doorway. It smells a little like oranges. But mostly just nasty burnt food.]
[Looking inside the kitchen will reveal batter covered dishes, a frying pan filled to the edges with a smoldering black thing which may have been a pancake, and a pot that's the source of most of the smoke. It's also clearly what the fire extinguisher was aimed at. No, that wasn't a hypothetical question at all.]
[Envy, in the midst of the frustration, is hoping that he's not going to have to buy Greed a new oven.]

Action
[Lust simply stares. Why was Envy lighting pots full of alcohol on fire? She knows he's still having a rough time, and he does vent emotion through violent outbursts, but firey liquor?]
You didn't use any of my wine, did you? Oh god, it smells awful in here...
Action
[He gestures over at the table, where there's a handwritten recipe sitting well out of harm's way. A recipe for 'crepes suzette au beurre d'orange' which in no way looks like it's within Envy's skill level. GO BIG OR GO HOME.]
And I didn't use your wine! It wanted me to use orange liquer so I got some of the Grand Marillier out of Greed's bar.

[Lust just sighs and rakes her hair out of her face. What can she say? He's only trying to be closer to his lost beloved, she can't fault him for that. But his methodology....]
I think you need a good deal of practice before you're simmering Grand Marillier without accident. Begin simple. Otherwise you end up with that atrocious soup I concocted that one night.
[She moves into the kitchen to begin helping clean up from this initial disaster.]
no subject
[EVERYONE REMEMBERS THE SOUP. IT WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.]
I didn't think it would matter that much what order I put in the ingredients, so long as I had the right ones in the right amounts.
[Why isn't cooking alchemy? But he moves to start cleaning up the mess as well.]
no subject
[She'd taken one taste and dumped the entire thing.]
Changing the order of ingredients changes the sequence of reactions between them. Cooking's ridiculous.
[She has the same issue when it comes to preparing anything more complex than simple dishes. She's used to the combination of components being the important bit, not the specific order or steps.]
