Who: Red and You!
Where: The Kitchens
When: April 7th
Rating: G/PG
Summary: The Real OTP of the Blacklist? Red/Food

The Story:

It'd been a while since Red's decided to cook anything for anyone beside himself but today, was a different story. Red spends most of his day in the kitchen of the mansion making a meal Dembe taught him how to make years ago, fenugreek porridge, a Sudanese dish that's believed to soothe troubled stomachs, and other various aches and pains. Red figures since there's a war coming on, a number of the residents of Wonderland might need something medicinal to help with their stresses.

He'll also take requests from anyone who happens to come into the kitchen, assuming they can put up with his singing.

Your table manners are a cryin' shame
You're playin' with your food, this ain't some kind of game
Now, if you starve to death, you'll just have yourself to blame
So eat it, just eat it

You better listen, better do what you're told
You haven't even touched your tuna casserole
You better chow down or it's gonna get cold
So eat it

Rocket just came in here to steal a mixer that he could have easily taken from the closets, but something about hijacking things fills a void in his thieving heart. He is a simple mammal with simple needs.

He was not expecting this, and he finds himself standing in the doorway just... observing.

"Well, now I've seen everything."
beatupgrass: i swear i'll kick YOU in the dick. (✘ if you say "hit him really hard")

"Honestly, the singing ain't as weird as the cooking for some reason." The singing at least has context. "Definitely not a skill I'd have assigned to you, dude."

A beat. "Unless you suck at it, and your way of copin' with this event is by poisoning everybody."
beatupgrass: (✘ or it's a janitor's closet)

He doesn't know what caviar is, but it sounds pretentious. Rocket, meanwhile, is hunting for beer and maybe some jerky. However, whatever Red's got cooking there does smell really good, and he's been denied home cooking since, uh...

Well, 90% of his life except for the occasional meal Drax has been known to cook, and that's only been since recently.

He sniffs the air a bit to get a better whiff- yep still smells divine... Be cool about it, Rocket. Be cool. "You're tellin' me. My ears are ringin' from all that squawkin' everyone's doing."

Rocket curses under his breath for not BEING COOL ENOUGH, but if he's about to be finished and there's nothing worth it in the fridge, he'll just take his beer and pry off the top with his claws, leaning against one of the cabinets.

"We can go blind and deaf before the Queen of Hearts gets her friggin' army together. Bet the next event goes for our sense of smell."

Okay, maybe he's a little bit fixated on that delicious food smell.
beatupgrass: of disappointment (✘ you're the grand central station)

"I ain't ever had a problem with it. Like they rest of me they're reinforced." He pockets the bottle cap out of habit, more than necessity. You never know when you might need one. "I never have to worry about breakin' a nail... And for some reason work fine with touchscreens, so that was a practical application of science."

He mockingly raises his bottle.
beatupgrass: (✘ and i have a paper trail to prove it)

He has extremely dexterous fingers, so he's grateful for the spoon so he can eat like someone who is not an animal, though it wouldn't be the first time he's just buried his face in something and licked the bowl clean.

He lays the beer down on the floor takes the bowl and the spoon and shovels in a mouthful, ears perking up at the taste. "...Shit. That ain't half bad."

Oh wow. A whole compliment from Rocket. What a world we live in.

There's singing, and Barbie can't stop thinking about the people they've left behind. It's led to him being fairly well silent a lot, which is to his benefit.

It isn't even the sound of singing that draws him, but the scent of seasonings folks around places like Chester's Mill don't use. Things that while not from the same part of the world, are much more familiar to him than they might be to others.

What he's expecting, this is not it.

Barbie pauses in the doorway, arms folding over his chest as he watches, smiling as he listens.

Definitely not bad, though the lyrics were what has Barbie smiling. Looking up, he smiles and takes that as an invitation, stepping into the room.

"Curious what you're making, so maybe, yeah. Still not used to food being readily available like it is here."

[personal profile] theenforcer 2018-05-08 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"From? America, though most recently in a town called Chester's Mill. I spent some time in Afghanistan though with my unit though," he admits, not seeing a reason to hide that he spent time in the military.

"So been around a bit with them."

[personal profile] theenforcer 2018-05-25 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Barbie perks at that, nodding. "Yep, exactly. We came from the same place and found ourselves there. Glad to learn she's had a few people here that know her story."

It meant she is looking into it, and that's important to him.

"I would say congrats but if your time was like mine, maybe not."

[personal profile] theenforcer 2018-06-09 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"Right, so no congrats," he says with a nod, frowning though as he says it. There's never a congratulations that comes with any of that.

"And now we end up here, and only a few days in and people already talking more war."

Barbie is quiet for a few minutes, arms folding over his chest as he looks away. Considering a few words, not sure how to word this.

Finally he sighs.

"How bad can this get? I mean, already I'm seeing how unconventional the weaponry here can be. We're talking shit we don't know, aren't we?"

[personal profile] theenforcer 2018-06-24 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
"Do we have a clue where that power comes from? Besides the things everyone talks about like memories and deaths and all. What are they?"

Because already he suspects "what" not "who" will come up a lot in his thoughts about this place and how it works.

"Is there an extend to their powers that anyone knows of?"

[personal profile] theenforcer 2018-07-09 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
"Which I'm sure is how they like it. On all counts. Easier to control the masses if they don't know how to fight back," he says, nodding, having seen that before. "Same with the constant and spacing of the events. Keeps everyone off balance and means they don't have time to work on the answers. We're all too busy saving ourselves and getting over it."
