Advanced Takeout, Monday, May 8, 2017

For the first day of class, there was a nice selection of protein shakes or coffee for the students to grab before things started. Because they were starting on a high note. It was all down hill from here on out, kids.

"Hello, and welcome to Advanced Takeout," Tony said. "I'm Mr. Stark or Tony if you'd rather."

"And I'm Steve Rogers," Steve added. "Um, calling me Steve would be kind of strange. Welcome to Advanced Takeout. We know there are a couple other food-related classes this summer--this one is for people who can't cook."

Like them.

They only blew up one kitchen! On island. So far.

"Captain Rogers," Tony suggested to the class because Steve lacked the casual sweaters for 'Mr. Rogers' after all. "It's the first class, so things will be easy with letting us know your name and why you picked this class. You're in for a lot of this for the rest of the week. Sorry."

Steve grinned. "You can also tell us your biggest kitchen disaster. We blew up a microwave making apple pie a few months back."

Don't ask how. Just...don't.

"And I even have a doctorate in chemistry, so it can happen to anyone," Tony added cheerfully. Because it had been for science. Didn't you all feel better about yourselves?

"And after you're done with the introductions, you can try to make coffee or a protein shake," Steve said. Which, well, Tony's robot DUM-E had a hard time doing, so it can't be that easy, right?

"I'm Kaylin Neya and this course was chosen for me," she said. "Probably because I can't cook. Nor do I have any actual interest in cooking."

"So have you had a kitchen disaster, or have you just ignored that whole room?" Steve asked.

"I don't have a kitchen at home," Kaylin said. "Kind of avoids the whole thing."

She didn't have running water either, so...

"How did you eat, then?" Steve asked. "Are you another place with rations?"

"Sometimes they feed you if you're in training," Kaylin said, "but mostly I get stuff from the street vendors."

When she remembered. And wasn't out of money. It was why she was so skinny.

"What kind of food are you used to, then?" Steve asked. "Spicy? Noodles? Meat pie things?"

Re: Introductions!

"Yes," Kaylin said simply. All of those.

Pretty much she ate whatever she could get or whatever was put in front of her. When you grew up in the fiefs you were grateful for whatever food you got and learned to eat pretty much anything.
