ship log 003 [video/action for the kitchen]

[So, uh. This cooking thing.

But do you see that? The view's a little shaky at first, because he's still getting the hang of this technology thing, but there, for your viewing delight, Wonderland, is a microwave.

Well.

It used to be a microwave.

What it is now is more a column of smoke and melted plastic and burnt things, with the coppery shine of burnt tinfoil.

Oh, and the door's off to one side, and it shouldn't be twisted like that.

And yes, he actually read the instructions. And no, they didn't make a damn bit of sense.]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly sure that's not what it's supposed to do when it's done.

[Considering his past situation with being cursed and all that came with it, he really shouldn't be picky about food. He knows that, but the fact is so much of the 'food' here doesn't look - or smell - right at all.

He shifts in his seat, as he has to think about the question a moment. Being dead a year has had the effect of throwing off time for him.] 1747. Or 48. One or the other. I can't actually be sure.

So almost 240 years before mine. No wonder you're so confused. Let's start with the basics. Generally we store perishable foods in the refrigerator, meats, cheeses, eggs, milk, vegetables, anything that will go bad quickly otherwise.

[240 years. Honestly, it's not that funny, but he can't help but start to laugh, anyway. Of course it makes sense as to why he doesn't understand anything, from the way the water is to this nonsense. Of course it does.

And even still, the idea of storing, as she put it, perishables, is even more hilarious.]

It's clear you've never been aboard a ship. A real ship, if they even still exist in your when, given all of this. [He gestures around the kitchen for emphasis.] If ye need all that for such...Honestly, it all seems rather silly. Most of it keeps just fine for a time without all of that nonsense.

They still have ships, but not like the ones you're probably used to. Most of them are powered by motors these days and they tend to be more for pleasure than practical use. As for the way food keeps, this is more convenient for the society I'm from than it would be for yours.

[Personally, he thinks it all sounds like a bit of rubbish. And that, perhaps, the future is a place of greedy, helpless low-living slobs that can't do anything without the assistance of all of this ridiculous technology.]

Sounds to me, lass, that this future of yours be a soft, horrible place to live. What merit is there, then, when the work is taken out of everything?

[Says the man who's in a business where no one really likes to work, which is why pirate crews are so large, but trifles.

But then, there's food, and at first his stomach clenches against his will, before he can will it to relax.]

Smells odd, lass, so it does
