My beloved | A reality shifting story

☀ do they cook/bake?

—swiss—

- yes

- while he doesn't always cook and bake for the ghoul section of the ministry like cumulus and cirrus do, he does it in his free time.

- he's especially good at cooking italian food, and so swiss has started a regular thing in the ministry where him and cirrus cook and bake all italian food every saturday for all the ghouls of the ministry.

- on top of being a good cook and baker, swiss also loves trying new food and will always be up to go to a cafe.

—dew—

- no

- he is absolutely banned from every kitchen in the manor, i'm not even joking. he will find a way to burn the most unburnable thing.

- he will absolutely try to burn water and end up spilling boiling water everywhere. 

- and don't even believe for a second that you can trust him with kitchen utensils. 

- you can't even trust him with a butter knife. 

- once caused an incident...regarding the microwave..and a fork...

- you can imagine how that went.

dew tiptoes into the small kitchen area in the ghoul lounge, peering at a sleeping aether on the couch to ensure that he wasn't awake. he snickers softly to himself as he quietly grabs a handful of marshmallows and stuffs them into the microwave. as he closes the door of the microwave with a clunk, aether shifts on the couch. he sits up and rubs his eyes for a moment. "dew? what are you doing in the kitchen?" aether inquires groggily. 

dew cackles as he sets the timer for 10 minutes. aether's eyes widen with realization as it occurs to him that the fire ghoul is up to no good. "what are you doing?" aether asks again, sounding more concerned this time. dew practically bounces on his toes and makes direct eye contact with aether as the marshmallows expand and pop in the microwave. 

"dew!"

—rain—

- they're not bad, he really isn't...

- but they only know how to bake muffins. and that's the extent of his knowledge on baking.

- at least they know how to bake different types of muffins though!

—aether—

- when he needs to. 

- okay look, they're not good at baking and cooking okay? but they know how to conjure up basic stuff to keep the gremlins fed in-between the meals that the manor provides. i mean, we should be grateful that he isn't as bad as dew in the kitchen..

- but is also notoriously famous for inventing new pastries involving bananas. what did you expect? it's aether. 

—mountain—

- laughs. no.

- mr. skyscraper over here doesn't cook or bake, but instead, opts to steal any snacks that a certain fire ghoul has. because mountain's so tall, he can simply just snatch snacks from dew and keep them out of reach from him. 

- why cook or bake when you can get a free and easy snack?

dew had just finished badgering cirrus for a whole hour for a snack and she finally gave in to his pestering behavior. she opted to make him bacon, promising that it'd be extra crispy. just to his liking. dew watched with childlike eyes as he sat on the floor of the kitchen, fiddling with his tail while cirrus watched over the bacon strips she was tending to. 

the smell of bacon filled the ghoul lounge, and it made dew's mouth water. he decided that after it was made, he'd hug cirrus and thank her, and then go hide in his room to munch on the food she so graciously made for him. couldn't risk any of the other ghouls getting his food. 

and just as cirrus finished up with the bacon mountain swooped by and grabbed the pan like a fucking hawk, holding it over dew's head. dew, of course, protested heavily. he tried to reach up to grab the pan with his grubby paws like a child, hissing profanities at mountain. cirrus stood by and just watched, holding a hand over her mouth and stifling her laughter. 

mountain stood there and leaned back against the fridge, smirking to himself and eating the bacon in front of dew. 

—cirrus—

- absolutely

- one of the head chefs in the ghoul section of meliora. notably, she specializes in cooking breakfasts, whether that be fluffy pancakes, bacon, or anything in-between. 

- they also assist swiss with cooking and baking on italian saturdays.

- most of the time in-between meals, you can find a clingy dewdrop badgering cirrus to cook him something, claiming that 'he'll die if he doesn't get a snack'. you can imagine how that goes for him. 

—sunshine—

- you better hope not

- somehow, she'll find a way to cover  the kitchen in flour, even if flour was not used in what ze was trying to cook. 

- if they get in the kitchen and try to make something, it will look like a bunch of supplies exploded. and maybe they did. who knows. 

—cumulus—

- yessssss

- also one of the head chefs of the ghoul section in meliora, specializes in cooking dinner and does a lot of the desserts. she doesn't cook or bake on italian saturdays, as that is kind of her rest day.

- she's notably very good at making pancakes! they're the fluffiest, lightest pancakes you'll ever eat, i guarantee.
