BBQ time
True to his word, Jordan found the kitchen, but no one cooking. Finding a good selection of the food put out for their arrival, but no grill, he takes a couple grates apart, cleans them up, and sets up a firepit outside with makeshift grills over it. A good fire follows, and its not long before the phantom smells of steak earlier are becoming real ones. The heat doesn't seem to bother him any, beyond being warm enough to hang his shirt over a tree branch. Despite his commentary, he hasn't given anyone a hard time for bikinis or lack thereof.

	Emily steps outside, smiling broadly. "That smells good," she declares, stepping up to the grill. She's tied her t-shirt up into a knot to expose her midriff, but is otherwise wearing jeans and, as usual, her bracer-like bracelet. "I'm totally calling dibs on the salmon." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Hey, a new girl. Sweet. but you're going to have to mud wrestle Marrina for the salmon. she called dibs a while ago." Ok, so there's plenty for two. And then some probably. But mud wrestling! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She regards him, and laughs a little. "Mud wrestle, huh? Sure... if you'll wrestle one of the other guys, too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You really can't turn that off, can you?" Marrina said in Jordan's general direction. "...Besides, I think I could take her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The only other guy is a schnauzer, but I think he can probably manage alligator too if that's your thing. Or I can put some music on and find a stage if you have any loose bills." He pauses, looking over at Marrina. "Turn what off? And that's what I like to hear. What do I need to do to find out?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	oneyoungwoman 2009-08-19 02:59 am UTC (link)
	Emily looks at Marrina skeptically. "Maybe sometimes, but for salmon?" She brandishes her bracelet at the other girl. "For salmon, you'd go down." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I don't need any salmon," Mel quietly assures them all. "Hi." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	oneyoungwoman 2009-08-19 03:19 am UTC (link)
	Emily blinks at Mel as she approaches. "You're purple!" Then she smiles. "Awesome." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hmph. The joys of being short. "The schmaltzy charm," she told Jordan. Marrina is unfazed by the display of jewelry. Possibly because she doesn't know what it is. "Hey, just because you're taller than me doesn't mean anything. Size isn't everything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He feigns offense. "Hey, teenage boy with a genius level IQ. Means I think about sex in six languages while contemplating the permutations of physics or geometry of my pornographic thoughts every three point four minutes, statistically speaking. And if I'm not hitting on girls, it probably means I'm working on plans for a giant robot or death ray." he replies casually.

"Seriously, I'm harmless. But its easier pretending to be a dumb jock this way. How do you like your salmon?"

	"Size isn't everything? Speak for yourself," Emily smirks, casting a gaze to Jordan. But then she turns back. "This is the Relic of Enchantment. It has all kinds of powers." She looks to Jordan again. "Seared is fine," she tells him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2009-08-19 03:41 am UTC (link)
	"Yes. Purple runs in the family. Mutation, too." Mel may go from lavender to burgundy -- yet again -- at Jordan's discussion. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Seared is fine for me too," Marrina told Jordan. "Yeah?" she asked. "Well, so do I." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	strongbox 2009-08-19 03:48 am UTC (link)
	"Outstanding, two for seared it is then." He looks towards Melanie, "So, at the risk of ruining my stellar reputation, let's try a comment with no innuendo. How do you want your steak, ma belle?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Medium well, please. With garlic," Mel's eyes get a touch more eager (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're asking how to prepare a slab of meat, and you think there's no innuendo?" Emily laughs. She shakes her head. "You're a bad influence on me," she tells him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marrina shook her head. "I hope there's going to be more guys on this team. Because right now it's like Jordan's Angels or something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, not that I mind so much... personal bias, go figure. And there's always Alex, though I think he's more the take for a walk type than the dinner and a movie type." He grins at Emily. "Glad I can help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mel remains silent. These kind of conversations never happen at home. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	oneyoungwoman 2009-08-19 04:28 am UTC (link)
	They don't happen in Emily's home, either... which is why she's enjoying having it here. "Who's Alex, anyway? I mean, despite being Jordan's Bosley." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Alex is the rest of the testosterone on the roster. Small problem for him is he's an animal shapeshifter without a human form. Though turning into a tyrannosaur has to have its upside." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That works," Emily shrugs. "I mean, you turn into a neanderthal..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marrina looked over to Mel. "You okay, Mel? You're kinda quiet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Alex had found the person who had cooked the steak he had been tracking, but by the time he found them the steak was gone. He was hungry and dammit he didn't feel like going outside and running something down. It was just too much effort and he liked cooked meals better.

Giving up on someone making their way into the kitchen to make some food, he wandered outside. The smell of cooking food reached him and once again he followed his nose.

In the form of a white tiger, he made his toward where a firepit had been dug.

/Please tell me you made extra/ he said. One of the problems with being unable to take human form was the lack of ability to cook food.
