Viens ‣ Mission : Busy Pâtisserie

[balzams]

Who: Latvia and anyone signed up for Busy Pâtisserie
What: Don't expect Latvia to come into a kitchen and not make a mess but with a little help he might just make it through the week
When: Anytime between the 12^th and the 19^th
Where: Chef Montblanc's kitchen
Rating: G

[He was not an expert baker by any means but he knew his way around the kitchen more or less, not to mention free desserts were nothing to be sniffed at. Throughout the week Latvia comes into the kitchen whenever he can to lend a hand]

action a.
[Despite his enthusiasm he wasn't the cleanest of cooks. In a large bowl he whips cream with all the energy he can muster. A little too much perhaps as a careless motion of the whisk causes the whole thing to slip out of his hands and splatter onto the counter and the floor. Be careful not to slip, hopefully he didn't drop it on your shoes]

action b.
[This time Latvia has been decidedly more careful. Using all his concentration he arranges the small balls of pastry on top of each other after dipping them in a bowl of molten caramel. His hands are shaking quite badly and as the tower gets taller it becomes more of a struggle for him to properly stack the dessert. In the end he has no choice but to admit defeat]

Excuse me, could you let me a hand with this?

action c.
[At first glance it doesn't seem like Latvia is here today but maybe if you follow the quiet sounds of someone eating to behind the counter… As soon as he realises he’s been caught he shoves whatever he had been eating into his mouth and practically chokes]

I am! [Poland licks some frosting off a wooden spoon he's waving around.] I'm like totally supervising or something. It's super exhausting.

[aka: I'm watching everyone else do work.]

Also I'm pretty sure you're not getting paid to eat.

[balzams]

I wasn't eating anything!

[But the icing on the side of his mouth says otherwise]

Besides, shouldn't you be doing something a bit more productive than supervising?

[notyetlost]

Guilty! [Poland climbs over the top of the counter because what is walking around, and waves the spoon at Latvia accusatorially.]

Besides I'm working hard. Oh look that stand of cupcakes has one too many on it. [Poland plucks one off.] If I weren't supervising we'd have totally missed it.

[And Poland is now eating said cupcake.]

[balzams]

[Latvia scoots away from Poland and leans well out of the way of his accusing spoon. However the moment he takes a cupcake from the stand Latvia points a finger at him in the same accusing fashion]

That is clearly an abuse of power! That stand had just the right number on it I made sure of it myself!

[notyetlost]

[Talks through a bite of cupcake.]

Nuh uh.

[balzams]

Yuh-huh! This is just hypocrisy!

[notyetlost]

Oh yeah? [Poland swallows his mouthful.] And how'd you count them huh? With your stomach?

[He swipes at the frosting at the corner of Latvia's mouth and holds it up for him to see with his finger.]

You're a hypocrisy!

[balzams]

Nn!

[He backs away and wipes a hand over his mouth in an attempt to clean off anything else that might be there]

Th-they would have been thrown away anyway! They didn't come out right! The one you just ate was perfectly fine.

[notyetlost]

It's not fine! It has a bite in it. [And now another.]

I am the [self appointed] cupcake supervisor, what I say goes!

[Poland dabs the icing on his finger onto Latvia's nose.] Beh!

[balzams]

[Latvia scowls at him and wipes the icing from his nose with a finger before licking it off]

And who's fault is that? Seems like the supervisor isn't good at supervising if all the good cakes get bites in them.

[notyetlost]

At least I'm not the one hiding behind stuff and storing cupcakes in my cheeks like some kind of chubby hamster!

[balzams]

H-hey!

I wasn't stealing cupcakes and I'm not chubby!

[notyetlost]

You look like it when you have cheeks like this. [Poland puffs them out for emphasis.]

[balzams]

[He's severely tempted to just squish them flat again but luckily for Poland, Latvia still isn't that aggressive. Instead he shyly touches his own cheek]

They're normal, you're just making that up...

[notyetlost]

...?

[Ridiculous thing to tease Latvia about discovered!]

2/2

[notyetlost]

[Poland pokes Latvia's cheeks.]

Hee hee~

[Repeatedly.]

[balzams]

Stop that!

[He tries to swat his hands away]

[notyetlost]

Stop stealing food!

[That's okay Poland will just taunt him with the frosting covered spoon instead.]

[balzams]

I told you, I wasn't stealing. It would have been thrown out anyway.

And stop waving that around at me!

[He makes a grab for the spoon handle]

[notyetlost]

Hey that's my spoon!

[This could probably be solved amicably. They could show each other all the flawed baked goods they come across while working and then share them equally with everyone.

Somehow wrestling Latvia for a frosting covered spoon sounds more productive to Poland.]

Give it!

[balzams]

[Why settle it like adults when they could settle it like children]

Fine!

[Instead of letting go he just tugs it towards him and licks the frosting off the bottom]

You can have your stupid spoon!

[And then he lets go]

1/2

[notyetlost]

Ew! Gross! [Poland doesn't want it if Latvia licked it! He lets it drop to the floor once Latvia releases it, looking at Latvia very sullenly.

That was his spoon.]

2/2

[notyetlost]

[Poland grabs another cupcake off the tray and smushes it into Latvia's hair.]

Oops.

[balzams]

[Latvia looks up at him in shock. There are tears in the corners of his eyes and it looks like he might cry. Curling his fingers around the spoon handle he shakily gets to his feet...]

[balzams]

[...And promptly swings it at Poland's head]
