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'm sorry! I'm sorry!

J-Just clam down I'll get help!

[Even though there isn't any blood he doesn't feel any relief. Especially since everyone in the bakery is staring at them]

[Lithuania had been trying to ignore the vaguely muffled sounds of arguing from across the room up until now. He'd been busy decorating pastries, after all. But the crashing and screaming and crying was incredibly hard to ignore, so here's Lithuania!

...]

[vytis]

[Oh my God you guys what have you been doing? He can't leave you alone for five minutes!]

[vytis]

[All of those baked goods on the floor! That's hours of work wasted! And why is Poland rolling around on the floor talking about his brains falling out? Are they?]

[vytis]

[No, that's just a mashed up cupcake. He's still crying, though, and Lithuania suspects he smacked his head on the counter at some point, so Lithuania casts First Aid on him. He can't tell if there's blood with all the cake and frosting in Poland's hair, but head wounds tend to bleed a lot and they'll really have a mess if he lets that continue.

Also, Poland seems to be in an extreme amount of pain for what seems like such a minor fall.]

DONE

[vytis]

[And now Latvia has a mop. It's being shoved in his hands. Poland gets a cloth.

And they both get Lithuania speaking Lithuanian at them:]

What have you two been doing? Look at this mess! There are pastries everywhere, Poland's hair is covered in frosting, and what on Earth did you do to make him cry like that, Latvia? Not that I'm not sure part of it was your fault, too, Poland! Did you work Latvia up? You're both old enough to know better!

Clean all of this up right now!

[And suddenly everything feels so much better...?]







... Am I dead?

2/2

[notyetlost]

[Oh wait now Lithuania's lecturing him. He's definitely not dead.]

H-he totally started it...

Re: 2/2

[balzams]

D-did not!

[After Lithuania's scolding Latvia speaks in a more hushed tone, protectively holding the mop close to him]

If you hand't smeared cake in my hair I wouldn't have gotten angry...

1/2

[vytis]

I don't care who started it!

[Though it was probably Poland, let's be real here.]

2/2

[vytis]

Clean. Up. Now.

[notyetlost]

[No, why is Lithuania sort of terrifying right now.]

I-I'm all sticky and probably bloody from rolling around in brain matter I'm going to my room first!

[And definitely not coming back to clean, eat it Latvia.]

[balzams]

Th-that's not fair! If I have to clean up then you should too!

[He almost wants to leave with him but he doesn't want to face any more anger from Lithuania]

[vytis]

First of all it's just a cupcake, and second I don't care if your hair really is covered in brain matter, do you know how long I spent on some of the food that's on the floor right now?

[notyetlost]

[Oh my god. That's so rude, Liet.]

Who cares about that I like totally almost died!

Because of Latvia! [Do you have any idea how embarrassing that would have been.]

[balzams]

I-It wasn't that bad!

[He's sounding a lot less aggressive than he was. Remorseful, even. Although it's more directed at Lithuania than Poland]

Sorry...

1/2

[vytis]

[First, Lithuania will address Poland.]

Don't make me call Miss Ukraine. [You don't need Lithuania and Ukraine on your case, do you?]

2/2

[vytis]

[And now Latvia, more gently. Latvia is currently in better graces than Poland, good job!]

Just think before you act next time, alright?

[notyetlost]

[No! Not Ukraine!]

This isn't fair!

[balzams]

Yeah, yeah...

[Latvia never likes being talked down to but considering his defense mechanisms when he gets scared it's only natural that he comes off as child like. He casts a glare over at Poland and then quickly diverts his attention]

Sorry for tripping you up and stuff...

[It doesn't sound that sincere]

[vytis]

You helped make the mess, you help clean it up. [You aren't getting out of this, Poland.

And sorry, Latvia, but Lithuania already mothers people; he can't help it even more when it's one of his little Baltic not!brothers.]

I'll make sure you don't have to clean up the whole mess yourself, Latvija.

[notyetlost]

[The insincerity in that apology is practically tangible.] Oh shut up Latvia.

[Poland scoops some smushed up cupcake out of his hair and chucks it at him. If he's a total mess, Latvia's gonna be one too.]

[balzams]

I was apologising, you jerk!

[So much for thinking before acting. Latvia raises the mop handle to aim a strike at Poland]

1/2

[vytis]

Lenkija! [Lithuania grabs for the cupcake.]

2/2

[vytis]

Latvija! [And Lithuania is going to yank Latvia out of striking range by the back of his shirt.] I can't cast First Aid all day!
