video; mithian vs. the blender

[burping]

[The camera comes on and at first everything is blurry and there's a loud exclamation (it's more like a squeak) as the sound of something splattering everywhere can barely be heard over the furious grinding of a blender. Someone didn't know to put the top on the blender. There's something over the camera but it's soon wiped away to show the kitchen of Freya house covered in muck. It looks like some sort of smoothie concoction. And there's Mithian covered in that very muck, it's in her hair, all over her pretty dress and she's looking quite frustrated. Her composure goes right out the window as she struggles to turn it off, smashing all the buttons until it's off.] Alright! I give in you blasted bit of... machinery!  

[She exhales, grabbing a towel to wipe her face and the--- Oh, it's on, she's just noticed the bracelet is broadcasting and she looks even more flustered, her cheeks coloring. She pauses, bolstering herself, she needs help, she's tried it on her own and... failed. Hey, she's ever the proactive princess.] This... event as well past few days have made me aware that because of my upbringing, I have not had to do many things for myself. And while I am grateful for those who have helped me in the past, I would like to learn a few things now that I am here. [And without servants.] Like how to work the various devices in this place, I do not have familiarity with most of it. Like... lamps. And kitchen things.] 

[But this, she looks more enthusiastic about, as enthusiastic as she can with smoothie in her hair and all over her dress (which she thinks she's hiding well enough but she's failing. DAMN technology).] I also have a desire to learn how to defend myself properly should there be another attack like the past few days.

[He feels her pain, honestly he does. He may be used to taking care of himself, but all these modern appliances confuse him still. So he offers her a sympathetic smile.]

I know of someone who can certainly help you with the kitchen, a young man by the name of Peeta. Would you like me to contact him in your behalf?

[burping]

[This is so embarrassing.] I have spoken to Peeta, is there a direct way to contact him? [What is this technology?]

video;

[sworntovalor]

Yes, do you remember how to access your contact list?

[He sometimes still gets lost in his search for certain features of the bracelet, so the question is not intended to question her abilities.]

[ Look, Arthur is the most considerate. He turns on the response feed after the amused snort of laughter. :)b ]

And will you be defending yourself from hapless kitchen appliances? I should dread for you to be wielding a blade in there, my Lady.

[ Arthur :| She gives him a bit of a stern look but it's more amused than anything. Still this is embarrassing, stop being mean, Arthur. ]

This contraption is most lucky that I did not have my crossbow with me.

[pratentious]

You fought most admirably. I am certain no one can fault you that.

[ this could have been amusing if she hadn't gone through the very same thing. ]

These devices are quite tricky, to say the least. Do not despair, it shall take a week or two to understand them.

[burping]

I am afraid I have never seen their equal.

[veneficus]

Do not try the toaster. I believe it is a device of evil. Your bread shall either show no progress of becoming crisp or will turn to ashes.

[ Peeta's smiling, but he's not laughing at her, no. It's more of a sympathetic smile though there's definite amusement in there ]

I think everyone forgets to put the cover on those things once in a while.

video;

[burping]

The cover? [She glances around and then pulls what looks like the cover up with two fingers.] Oh. I suppose that makes sense.

video;

[unfalteringly]

Yeah, the cover. It keeps everything in the machine while it's on. Don't worry about it too much though. People who have had those things forever still forget.

[ Or so he'd imagine ]

[Oh, beautiful lady. Her face red, Nakama appears on the video screen, speaking softly. She still looks beaten-down exhausted, but she's trying to hide it.]

Um... I'm still training with weapons myself, so I couldn't be much help with that, but I can teach you about technology. I grew up with all this stuff, so it's pretty much second-nature to me.

[video]

[burping]

You grew up with such devices? [How fortunate!]

[video]

[whatagoodgirl]

Yeah... some things have changed a lot, like phones and TVs and computers, but the kitchen's stayed about the same since I was a kid. ["Since I was a kid" - don't mind her, she just talks like that.] Plus, my country's pretty technologically advanced back home. I can give you a hand with whatever you need.

[iorhael]

[he looks as just as surprised to see the mess as she is to have gotten sprayed by it]

Have you never learned to cook?


[of course cooking never involved what strange thing seemed to have exploded at her]

The last few days have certainly made clear some things. Learning to defend oneself quickly should be most important of all.

[burping]

There was never any need. [She doesn't like the way he said that!] We had servants who worked in the kitchens.

[She nods] I do well with a crossbow but it is hardly good for self defense.

Re: video)

[iorhael]

[No need? The Baggins are well off, but Bilbo and Frodo both know how to cook! And do from time to time! Frodo delays a little too long in answering, unable to politely cover the surprise]

Surely you must have gotten hungry when the servants sleep or are out?

Learning a crossbow seems an odd choice for princess. Although after this week, it is better than nothing.

[lookingfordragon]

[She really wished that she had looked at modern technology when she was in the human world, She might have know what to do with it then.]
W-What is that thing?

[Video]

[burping]

I am not sure. [Obviously. She just saw someone use it.]

[Video]

[lookingfordragon]

Are you okay?
[That thing looks dangerous look what it did to the room.]

video;

[deputychief]

May I ask what precisely about your upbringing led to this impasse?

video;

[burping]

There are no such devices where I am from. [Plus she had people who made food for her.]

[whitechocolate]

You might want to put the top on next time... Don't worry, it's an easy mistake to make.

video;

[burping]

That was, indeed, my mistake.
