accidental video; whoops

[shiro2hero]

[We interrupt your regularly scheduled Important Current Event Updates with someone's elbow knocking into their TAB. Or maybe alien metal plus alien tech equals some kind of spark and power surge or something. Either way, this is a close-up of Shiro's elbow for several seconds of blurred movement and muffled yelling.]

[Because something's on fire.]

[And he's hitting it with one hand. Which is probably alarming if you're new to the neighborhood and aren't aware one of his hands is made of metal.]

-- why? I just hit a button! Stop! Burning!

[Oh yeah, he's in the kitchen. Butchering microwave food.]

[Because before the TAB clicks off with another knock of his elbow, there's a brief shot of the poor, butchered food. It's space easy mac. He burned space Easy Mac.]

[ Lena just... stares.

How do you burn Easy Mac. ]

Are you alright?

[shiro2hero]

[He looks fine. Mortified, kinda yellow from the whole decontamination thing, but fine.]

Well... my pride might be mortally wounded, but yeah.

[desynched]

[ Lena flashes a sympathetic smile. ]

Pretty sure everyone's burned food before. S'long as you're okay, that's what matters.

Out of curiosity... what did you do?

this is action ok, screw video

[pidge_out]

[When it first clicks on, Pidge thinks "Oh, Shiro must've knocked his TAB on." And then she immediately realizes what's happening. And she realizes how Very Not Good At All this is.

So she comes running down the stairs and barreling into the kitchen.]

Shiro what're you even doing in here?!?!

wow pidge where's your faith

[shiro2hero]

[In his defense!! The fire's all out by the time she gets there. Which leaves Shiro standing there with his decimated macaroni.]

[And a lightly scorched metal hand.]

I pushed one button. One. I do more to make coffee.

not with shiro in the kitchen, that's for sure

[pidge_out]

[STILL. DECIMATED EASY COOK MACARONI.]

Which one did you push??

[chaoticlootral]

[Um, hello, police? I need to report a crime. This horrifying cooking attempt is a personal attack.]

Listen, guy, I have to ask - did you do this just to ruin my day or is there some other reason you've chosen to assault us all like this?

[shiro2hero]

[LOOK it wasn't even supposed to turn on!]

I pushed one button.

All I wanted was dinner.

[He's as mortified as you're offended, man.]

[chaoticlootral]

Please, listen, stop - you've hit a sewer line in that there hole you're digging. It's just getting worse, your hole is just. Filling with shit water, compadre.

[Save it for the judge - it's still a crime even if it's accidental. That's called manslaughter. Mac n'slaughter.]

Space! It's all jetpacks and elevators and one button dinners from here on out! Can't even manage that one, huh?

[yablueit]

[ As soon as Lance sees the video go up, he's booking it down to the kitchen. ]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm pretty sure Hunk banned you from being in here alone!

[shiro2hero]

[The fire is out, at least. And now he's busy fanning the smoke out a window.]

He lets me use the coffee machine! How could a microwave be any different?

[brokeassgoing]

Why is it not one of you fuckers can do a single household chore?

voice;

[shiro2hero]

Give me anything else and I'm fine.

I have no idea why the kitchen hates me.

voice;

[brokeassgoing]

Can you at least sew?

[tearsinajar]

[ Wow. Dude. Just wow. ]

I'm almost afraid to ask what that...was.

[shiro2hero]

A mistake.

[No shit, Shiro.]

[tearsinajar]

No, seriously, what were you trying to make?

yolo (text)

[lavelly]

That's what happened when I tried as well

yoooooo (text)

[shiro2hero]

[OH THANK SPACE LION JESUS IT'S NOT JUST HIM.]

THANK you.

These things aren't as easy as they look!

[lavelly]

I'm still not sure what most of the commands are meant to do

[What is "popcorn."]

[ACTION]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

[Just leaning against the entrance to the kitchen nonchalantly.]

[Sipping from a can of soda.]

[Making no motion to help.]

[ssssssssssip]

You tell 'em, buddy. Don't let that fire take charge.

[ACTION]

[shiro2hero]

It's out! The fire's out! It--

[As he stops swatting it long enough to piece together who's talking to him.]

[Slowly.]

... how long have you been there.

Re: [ACTION]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Around the time you started wowwing the world with your culinary prowess.

I come from a time where cooking is done with actual fire, by the way, and even I'd be hard-pressed to screw up that badly.

[otiosity]

No, no, if you want to get the fire to listen to you, you have to be more firm.

[shiro2hero]

I don't want the fire to exist, but thanks.
