TEXTS FROM LAST NIGHT GENERATOR

[cursedwords]

Salmon, salmon.

[ He sits down and pulls his relic over so they can watch together. He selects a comedic-style cooking show. That was really the kind of thing he watched. It might not be interesting to anyone else. ]

[tooawesome]

[ That makes Nanika relax. She easily sits next to him, appreciating a whole world made of blankets and sharing something together. It's like they're the only people in the whole world. Plus Alluka's asleep, cozily, like she's completely surrounded by blankets (deep inside her). It's a nice feeling. ]

Oh! [ No one's ever taught Nanika how to cook before! ]

[cursedwords]

[ Toge just smiles and gestures to it, there, check this out. This was the kind of thing he watched and then he cooked in his kitchen. It was good. ]

[tooawesome]

[ Nanika watches with apt attention. Her hands even move to imitate some of the techniques. It's incredible! And fun! And the people in the show even have something yummy to eat at the end!

She looks over at Toge when it's done. ] I want to do that!

[cursedwords]

Tuna? [ Cooking? He asks to confirm, tilting his head a little bit.

Because they certainly can, just not in the blanket fort. ]

[tooawesome]

[ Nanika nods decisively, exaggerating the motion so it's clear. ] Yes!

[ It looks so much fun she wants to do it herself! And to give someone something yummy to eat! ]

[cursedwords]

Salmon, salmon. [ Toge pokes at the relic and finally finds what he's looking for and turns it towards her.

It's a recipe for sugar cookies. ]

Takana? [ How's that? Would she like to bake cookies? ]

[tooawesome]

[ Nanika looks at the recipe for sugar cookies and considers it next to what they made in the story Toge showed her. It's not exactly the same, but Toge chose this recipe specifically with her in mind! ]

Yes! Lets make them! [ Nanika glances around the blanket fort, only now realizing its limitation. Oh. She reaches toward Toge but stops because he only has one hand and that hand has a relic in it. Nanika turns back away and motions out of the fort.

Onto the next adventure! ]

[cursedwords]

[ Toge doesn't mind, he's coming. Cookies are easy to make, and they're delicious, so it's a win/win.

He crawls back out of the blanket fort and detours to his kitchen, setting up the relic so they can follow the recipe. He should actually have all of these things in his kitchen already. ]

[tooawesome]

[ Nanika stands in the kitchen at the— almost at the ready. She pulls out her spoon and summons a cute apron as is clearly needed in the baking of cookies!

She looks at the list of ingredients and holds up her spoon questioningly. ] What do we need?

[cursedwords]

[ Toge smiles and he taps the screen. First ingredient, flour. He goes over and opens the cupboard.

It's on a fairly low shelf, he's short he's not gonna make things hard for himself. He gestures that she's welcome to take it. ]

[tooawesome]

[ Nanika claps her hands together and steps forward to take the flour. She's not used to carrying bulky things around but manages it easily.

She sets it down on the counter not too far away from the screen. Step one, accomplished. Step two? ]

[cursedwords]

[ Toge beckons her back over and points out the sugar. It's in the name and probably the best part. ]

Tuna.

[tooawesome]

[ Of course! Nanika nods and fetches the sugar as well. She opens the bag once it's on the counter, standing on her tiptoes, and woooooooows at all the sugar in the bag. She's never seen so much sugar in one place. She's never baked before. ]

[cursedwords]

[ That's alright, it's an easy recipe. He helps her find each ingredient in his kitchen and pulls the bowl out of the mixer to set it down on the counter in front of her. He also grabs a set of measuring cups and spoons.

That's should be all they need. Oh wait, they need a second bowl. Toge fetches that and then points at the first step. Measure the flour into the bowl. ]

Tuna. [ Toge taps the bowl that doesn't go in the mixer and points out the right measuring cup. He holds up two fingers. Two cups, Nanika. ]

[tooawesome]

[ Kitchens have so many items. Nanika couldn't tell what most of them are used for. A pan is a pan. A bowl is a bowl. But oh the things that can go in bowls!

She nods at Toge's instructions and performs the measurement carefully. Nanika digs the cup deep into the flour and, like in the video, makes sure the flour is flat at the top of the cup. The flour feels nice under her hand, but she doesn't play around in it. She pours the first one in and repeats as slowly and carefully as before. ] Done!

[ Nanika peers at the recipe to look for the next step. She's sure Toge will point out the right stuff to use, but she wants to try and follow along. ]

[cursedwords]

[ That's alright, he doesn't mind. He shows her on the recipe. The other dry ingredients, and he then points at the tools she needs to measure them, and how much.

He's really just a supervisor here, who happens to know where everything is. ]

[tooawesome]

[ Nanika goes back and forth between the recipe, Toge's directions, and the actual ingredients. It's a good thing Toge points to everything she needs to use or she probably would mix up things like teaspoons and tablespoons. Nanika knows a lot but not about this.

When she adds the last dry ingredient into the bowl, she claps her slightly coated hands enthusiastically. Look at that! ] Mmm, spoon? [ She guesses. ]

[cursedwords]

Salmon. [ It definitely should be stirred and so he leans over and grabs a wooden spoon before giving it to Nanika.

He mimes stirring. Just a minute or so, until it's combined anyway. ]

[tooawesome]

Yes! [ Nanika does a little dance with the spoon before she starts stirring. Her large black holes of eyes watch the mixture as the various colors blend together into one. She touches it with her finger and sucks the finger in her mouth. Interesting.

Her attention turns to the other ingredients. It's about to get serious! ]

[cursedwords]

[ Toge pulls the mixer closer and lifts the paddle. He gestures to that bowl and then to the butter, and the other wet ingredients, as well as the sugar. That's what goes in there. ]

[tooawesome]

[ Oh goody, it's going to look much more like cookies! Nanika measures out the butter. She spills the first wet ingredient carrying it over to the bowl, so she decides to measure the others over the bowl. It's fine. She only added a bit extra that one time. Her face turns in big ticking movements over toward Toge to make sure it isn't too big a mess up. ]

[cursedwords]

Salmon, salmon. [ Toge encourages. She's fine. A tiny bit can be adjusted if it needs to be.

Once she gets the ingredients in, he turns it on so it does the mixing for them. He pulls out a spatula so he can push it down as needed. He loves this mixer. ]

[tooawesome]

[ Nanika watches the mixer with both awe and dismay. Her eyes go to the spoon she used to mix the dry ingredients. It's so fun to mix them together, and the mixer gets to have all the fun. The mixer is probably better at it than she is, so Nanika manages not to pout.

She hovers next to Toge and watches everything swirl together impressively. He tames the mixture, forcing it to stay in the bowl. ] It works so fast. It's not a trick. [ Stories like to make things up sometimes. ]

[cursedwords]

Salmon, salmon. [ That's the easy part, anyway. Then he taps the bowl. He stops the machine and lifts the bowl to pour a bit in and then uses the machine to mix it.

Next, he points at her and stops the machine again. Not all of it, please. ]
