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.]

I pushed start!

'Start...a fire?'

[shiro2hero]

Why would I start a fire on purpose?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Don't ask me, I'm not the master chef you are.

[He sets his soda down and pulls up how TAB.]

Anyway, give us your best smile, I'm taking a photo to document this.

[shiro2hero]

[He just. Turns around. And stares resolutely out the window.]

I think the network took care of that already.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Yeah I know, but nothing's caught on fire here for quite awhile and I want proof it wasn't me when Pidge and Allura come knocking.

Also, I think I need this as proof so Allura will actually allow me into the kitchen.

[shiro2hero]

Allura already knows I'm a disaster. I told her. When we first moved in here.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Still need proof that, for once, this wasn't me.

[shiro2hero]

You're not taking a picture.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

I totally am, just watch me go~

[shiro2hero]

[He's just. Going to pull the hood of his hoodie over his head.]

[And start to clean up the Disaster & Cheese.]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

[Yeah, Darin's gonna take that picture anyway. And a few more for good measure.]

Maybe you should use the time that we're stuck here to learn how to cook a few things for yourself.

[shiro2hero]

Would you stop?

[God dammit Darin let him suffer this in peace.]

I do fine!

[Shiro you gotta stop saying that word.]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

You started a fire.

When I start fires, I get yelled at. Are you seeing the hypocracy here?

[shiro2hero]

[He's just. Going to gesture at the TAB.]

I was. Yelled at. And, additionally, it was a small fire!

It's already out!

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Nuh uh, nope. I don't care if strangers yell at you for starting a fire. And a fire is a fire, no matter how big it is.

See, normally, you'd yell at me and I get punished. I think that I should be able to punish you now.

[shiro2hero]

Since when do I punish you?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Since you started telling jokes to add levity to our conversations.

[Bazing]

[shiro2hero]

So when you said punishment...

You really meant punishment.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

They're synonymous, yes.

They both cause me great pain and regret.

[shiro2hero]

What, you don't think they're punderful?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Don't start.

You know what? You should ask Tifa to give you cooking lessons.

[shiro2hero]

You just don't punderstand.

Nah, I'll just... go back to sandwiches.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

I said don't start.

And come on! Why not? Tifa' great!

[shiro2hero]

Punbelievable.

Aaaand that's why I'm not going to rope someone else into this. It's my mess, I'll... work on it.
