Who: Nano Shinonome and Xion
Where: Nano's kitchen!
What: Lucy and Ethel Nano and Xion try to make sea salt ice cream together and nearly blow up the kitchen.
Warnings: TRIHARDOOOOOOO.  Also action brackets because I do what I want.

[It's Sunday afternoon, and Nano and Xion both have the day off from working at the Amagi Inn.  The heat of summer is finally dying out, and pretty soon it'll be too chilly for cold treats, so today Nano has invited her friend over to make sea salt ice cream together.  Her intent here is that they can do some bonding as friends, eat it up on the roof, and watch the sunset together.  Unfortunately, unbeknownst to Nano or Xion, the lingering effects of the Virgo monster's curse are about to produce a very different result...

But that result will come in due time.  For now, Nano's getting everything ready in the kitchen, laying out the ingredients and putting on her apron.  Xion should be here any minute, so she wants to make sure everything is ready to go.]

We can try!

[poppetstrings]

Alright!

... How often should we look back?

[all_wound_up]

Mmmmmm...

[thinking, thinking]

...once a minute?

[poppetstrings]

And we start now?

[all_wound_up]

O-oh no! It's been on the stove this whole time!

[AND ALREADY THREATENING TO BOIL OVER THE SIDES]

Xion-san, turn off the burner!

[poppetstrings]

A-Ah!

[XION DIVES TO TURN OFF THE STOVE! and pull the pot off of the heat, spilling some in the process, which sizzles and sticks to the stove top.]

[all_wound_up]

I-it's okay, it's okay! I'll clean it up later! You didn't burn yourself, did you?

[poppetstrings]

No, I'm fine!

[all_wound_up]

O-okay, good... so next, we slowly pour this into the egg whites and things we mixed up earlier.

[poppetstrings]

Did.. you want me to do that too?

[all_wound_up]

I think I can manage that much. I hope.

[poppetstrings]

Alright, good luck.

[She'll step back.

Twice, just in case.]

[all_wound_up]

[Nano carefully takes the pot off the stove, slowly walking it over to the counter where they were working before.

Nice and slow and easy.

She doesn't even trip on the way!

But hey, isn't it a little weird the way her nose is twitching?]

Ah...

[poppetstrings]

Don't--!

[all_wound_up]

Ahhhhhhh...

[Nano's hands tremble as she silently frets about what to do with the mixing bowl, unable to stop the sneeze or make it to the other side of the kitchen safely.

THINK FAST, XION, UNLESS YOU WANT ROBO-SNOT IN YOUR ICE CREAM]

[poppetstrings]

[Xion's frantically looking around, she only has seconds, after all. Before she just dives for hat bowl, knocking it out of Nano's hands and using her back to shield from the incoming robo snot spray.

THATS GROSS.]

[all_wound_up]

-choo!

[Nano finally lets loose the sneeze into her sleeve, now that her hands are freed up. And after a moment, she frantically looks around for what happened to the mixture she was carrying.]
