[Video/Reaction] Cooking With Grumpy: By Satori Komeiji

Who: Satori and YOU
What: Cooking with Eyeball Monsters, what else?
Where: Chireiden
When: Backdated to 5/14
Warnings: Mild descriptions of raw meat and cooking prep, Koishi being cute, Satori being grumpy.

The video feed at Chireiden’s an unusual one, this time. Satori’s set herself up in the kitchen, apparently, with an impressive array of utensils at the ready. She’s even wearing a slightly frilly pink apron to match, with one of Koishi’s “Guardian Satori” action figures set up in a very visible position slightly off to the side. It’s striking a heroic pose and seems to be holding one of Satori’s smaller dinner knives in both arms, as if it’s planting a sword into the ground. Safety first.

Either way, something’s up, if Satori’s actually doing this in front of a live audience of Genessian randoms. Her tone, as always, deadpan, and her gaze never leaving the camera, she declares…

“It’s Koishi’s ‘birthday,’ today. Or, whatever passes for one. Considering that she’s not home and I can’t seem to find her anywhere, I dearly hope she’ll see this video and come right back. I’m preparing something of a surprise for her, and with any luck, she might arrive while it’s still fresh.”

Her gaze meets the audience’s once more as the takes stock of her implements once again, then bends down to look at something below the camera’s field of view.

“You’re all very lucky to see how to make Koishi’s some of favourite dishes, today. You’re welcome...”

Satori looks down and retrieves what appears to be a large chunk of fish flesh.

“This is a prodigiously-sized chunk of premium fatty tuna. Normally, this quality would cost you dearly. It was on sale recently, but for my sister, I’d happily pay the typical cost.” She arranges some spices and what looks to be a small saucer-full of sauce nearby. “ She quiets down, taking a handful of each of the spices from the container, mixing together and grinding them into a fine powder, then lightly sprinkling a pinch of the spice mixture into the sauce. She splashes a little of the sauce on it for good measure, all without saying a word. She then calmly takes a knife and divides the piece of fish into a couple large pieces before setting the knife back down and cleaning it.

“...For those of you who expected anything more complex, your disappointment is just as delicious as the tuna. Moving on.”

Satori moves away from the camera for a moment, setting a couple containers nearby before pulling out a large, very meaty piece of organ meat. Upon closer inspection, it looks like it’s a whole beef heart on the table.

“As youkai, we are primarily carnivorous. For this example, I’ve also bought a heart, the most nourishing type of meat for our species, naturally. Assuming you reach this step at all, you’d best wash and drain the blood from it before thinking about cooking it. The one I’m using has already been cleaned.”

As she opens the smaller containers, Satori shows each of them off, in turn.

“In this case, Koishi’s quite fond of an equally meaty filling - ground beef and pork mixed with similar liver-meat. I’ve pre-cooked this for convenience, along with a good deal of rice.Part of it is for stuffing, while the rest will likely end up as side-dishes and left-overs.”

Not wasting any time, Satori immediately begins mixing the meats together and places it into a single container once it’s achieved the right sort of consistency. She then - very carefully - takes the meats and mixes it in with the rice in equal measure. Her gaze is rather intense for something so simple. Once she’s finished, she takes out a few mushrooms, some onions and a couple large bell peppers, using a new, clean knife to quickly and neatly chop the veggies into little chunks and mixing them into the meat-and-rice filling. She neatly makes an incision into the heart and removes some stringy arterial tissue from inside it, moving the plate closer to the camera so it’s clearly visible.

“Once the vegetables are together, you’ll have to remove the inedible parts from the flesh, like I’ve done, and pack the previous meat combination into the empty heart. It fits rather neatly, when done correctly, but I don’t expect most of you to be this careful.”

Producing a large serving ladle, she neatly packs the mixture onto the spoon, then transports it into the emptied heart, packs it down with the bottom of the ladle and closes the organ shut.

“Once all this is done, be sure to clean your cooking implements very well and place the stuffed heart into the oven. Cooking time is around twenty or so minutes.” A small smirk slips past her facade, which quickly fades. Is that really Satori? “Serves enough for one older sister and one younger sister, assuming she’s willing to share.”

… From off camera a yellow sleeve and a pair of chopsticks creeps into the view, stealing one of the pieces of fish… From there Koishi slides easily into the frame, chewing on her ill gotten gains...

Satori’s face returns to its average stone-faced indifference as she continues…

“And dessert. That’s a much more delicate problem, there are a couple choices Koishi enjoys. Koishi’s fond of plums, peaches and a variety of other fruits, if she can get her hands on them. But in this instance, we’re making--”

But Koishi is unable to restrain herself any longer, practically vibrating. She falls upon her sister with arms and tentacles alike.

“Thank you Siiiis! I looove yoooou!” And thus the nuzzling begins, Koishi’s happy babbling switching to Japanese after several moments. It isn’t long before a flailing tentacle impacts the camera, sending it skidding across the counter and clicking off as it crashes into a wall.

(Feel free to call them back if you want to talk.)

"I can see that."

Rose laughed and nodded. "I'll see what I can do." If nothing else maybe he could infuse the heart with some fear for... flavoring. And maybe they'll just bring poprocks and ice cream.

Rose could probably just stick to the poprocks and ice cream and Koishi would be just as happy.

"Is it that obvious? I haven't had fatty tuna in a really long time. Sis is great!" Koishi turned the camera to her sister who was currently washing some dishes. She turned and walked right by Koishi as if she wasn't even there...

"I guess I'm kind of unnoticed right now. But you can see me Miss Roses so it's fine."

Koishi is easy to please, but Rose loves her to pieces!!! Maybe a heart shaped donut and still trying to get Ten to infuse it with fear, okay okay.

"Which is better, tuna or people?" :T SHE HAD TO ASK, OKAY.

"Ah..." blinks... "Well, maybe she's just super focused?" Rose rubs the back of her neck in thought. Or maybe it was because Rose herself felt like a ghost again.

Koishi had to pause, tilting her head thoughtfully. "Umm..." She had to THINK about it. "Fatty tuna tastes better. But people make me feel better..." She zoned out a little, shaking her head to clear it. "I like both!" How unhelpful.

She looked back at her sister, third eye bobbing from side to side a little. "Ah... No... She can't see me It happens sometimes. But Mister Hat is on the chair. And she can see Mister Hat. So she knows I'm still here.

Thumbs up. "Okay."

And a head tilt. "So why can I?" Face scrunch. Was Rose magic?! :O

"Oh. Hehehe. That's because there's a screen here. If you were in person you wouldn't see me at all." She drifted up a little higher so her sister wouldn't run into her. "I'm not invisible. Just unnoticed. Your eyes can see me and your ears can hear me but your brain can't understand that I'm there. I'm like a figment of imagination."

"Ohhhhh perception filter," Rose nodded. "The Doctor's magnificent with those though, so I don't know if it'd work on him. Head's up, yeah?" she tapped a finger to her nose tip and tilted her head to the side. "I was like that a bit in the fifth dimension, but I kinda hated it, yeah?"

"No. It works on him." It didn't help that it also functioned like The Silence at times. "Yeah it's inconvenient. Sometimes I just want to be noticed but no one can see or hear me. But that's okay. Children can usually see and hear me so I play with them instead."

It gave the idea of an "imaginary friend" new meaning.

"You should tell me some stories Miss Roses. I have a feeling you have a lot of them. And I would absolutely love to hear every single one."
bigbadrose: (whut)

"It does?!"

Rose quickly filed away that information in her head. Oh Koishi she is going to engage your help in so many pranks.

A softer grin. "Yeah, I've got... billions o' stories. But I'm better at listenin'. Jack and the Doctor are the real story tellers, even if the Doctor doesn't usually talk much about 'imself. His younger versions don't anyway."

"Yup! In fact it works better on him because he's psychic too." And she was no doubt all for any pranks Rose wanted to pull.

"Well that's not good." Koishi gave a fake pout. "You should tell me all of those stories. And I'll tell you lots of mine. Stories are a part of our aspect. We collect them and re tell them and feed on them a little bit." Though it was safe to assume the most 'delicious' stories the really personal ones considering their emotion feeding.

"We are going to play so many pranks," a tongue lolling grin.

"Yeah?" a face scrunch and Rose nodded, "All right. I won't hold back." Rose's stories are pure emotion, this is why she likes Koishi. She needs a good source to channel it all. So enjoy a lot of fear and anger and sorrow. And joy -- mostly the Jack stories there.

"I like pranks!" And just like that Koishi was on board. Rose, what have you done?

"I'll look forward to them. I'll even tell you some of the ones I've collected myself. And I'll do my very best in telling them, okay?" She will absolutely adore these stories. And no doubt Satori would too if Rose was comfortable telling them there.
bigbadrose: (Tee-hee!)

"Okay!" giant thumbs up. "I gotta go check on the Doctor, but have a fantastic day and expect me to see me before you know it, yeah?"
