Culinary Fundamentals; Friday, First Period [04/16].
Due to a good amount of restraint even in the face of leather-begotten discounts, Ignis had kept his drinking moderate last night, for which he was glad for, because today was going to be a very...special day in the Culinary Fundamentals classroom. Today was the sort of day that Ignis would hold up forever as proof that he could, in fact, be conciliatory to absurdity on occasion.
Because today they had a guest co-teacher, in the form of a grinning and eager Prompto with a box in his hands, and clearly unable to stand still with the sheer anticipation for what they were about to do.
But first...
"Good morning," Ignis greeted them with a nod, "I hope this week went a little more smoothly for everyone than the last, and I'm pleased to tell you that we'll be doing a very special activity for today's class that will hopefully actually get you thinking a little bit about next's week's class, which will be our final class, so before we get into today, a word about your final exam:
"Your task, if you choose to accept it, which I certainly hope you do since it is an assignment, after all, is to pick a recipe of your choosing and prepare it for us in class. It can be anything you'd like, though I will certainly dole out far more points for creativity and difficulty based on your particular range of skills. We should have a wide variety of ingredients at your disposal, but should you need anything particular that's a little off the beaten path, please let me know and I will ensure that it will be available to you for class next week. That's it. Bringing in a recipe, prepare it for the class, and put those skills that you've hopefully acquired in our time together to good use. If there are any questions, please let me know, and, in the meantime, we'll get onto today's activity, which should hopefully be just a bit of pre-exam fun, and for which I'll turn the attention over to our guest today, whom some of you may already know, but for those who don't, this is my colleague and former Fandom student himself, Prompto Argentum. Prompto?"
The eager, nervous grin blossomed on Prompto's face as the floor was turned over to him. "Hey, guys," he said, then nodded to Ignis. "Thanks, Ignis. Boy, have we got something really special for you today, because today iiiissssss....."
He took a moment to cup his hands over his mouth and doot out a little fanfare.
"Cup NoodleTM Day!"
Please, everyone just ignore Ignis pinching the bridge of his nose and wanting to just disappear down a hole of quickly diminishing culinary integrity. Oh, the things he did for his friends...
"Now," said Prompto, oblivious to any withering prestige beside him, and thrilled to continue, "for those of you who don't know, Cup NoodleTM is an instant noodle soup that is popular as a quick and easy snack or meal across the multiverse! It's definitely a favorite among me and my crew, but even I'll admit, sometimes, the simplicity of the convenience of it all leads something to be desired. But here's the thing! It's, like, super easy to do things to really amp up that already delicious Cup NoodleTM experience by adding your own ingredients and seasonings! Like, want more meat? Bam, grill up some steak and throw it in. Put an egg in it! Add some fresh veg or maybe a sprinkling of cheese or some bomb sauces, and you're really going to elevate an already amazing food to totally the next level! So that's what you're going to do today!"
Was that a particularly smarmy smirk being directed at a certain sister in the classroomassuming she was there? Maaaaaybe.
Prompto flipped open the box.
"We've got all sorts of different varieties and flavors in here, so come on up, pick out your Cup NoodleTM, and let's see what you can make of them!"

Rude, that's what he was!
Re: Listen to the Lecture - Culinary Fundamentals, 04/16.
"And why are we building castles, anyway?" he added. "We're royalty, Nina, don't we have peasants or something to do that for us?"
Re: Listen to the Lecture - Culinary Fundamentals, 04/16.
"Like, we've got to supervise the peasants," she explained, completely unabashed about describing her brother and Ignis that way. "You can't just trust them to get the work done!!!!!!!!!!! Besides, there's magic involved in building a castle and that's always fun!!!!!!!!!!"
Re: Listen to the Lecture - Culinary Fundamentals, 04/16.
"Like...real magic?"
Re: Listen to the Lecture - Culinary Fundamentals, 04/16.
Because of course Troy would be weird about this.
Re: Listen to the Lecture - Culinary Fundamentals, 04/16.
But with that reaction out of Nina, he wondered if maybe he shouldn't?
"That doesn't sound too bad..."
