[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.

Famous at home?

Infamous might actually be a bit better of a word.

[That, and his walking into a tavern in Tortuga would cause quite a stir, he knows, since he's supposed to be dead.] There are those of us that are known through our...Deeds. Better than others.

Isn't that to be expected? [For a pirate.]

It's...A bit of a complicated thing. The better you are, the better-known you are. Or the worse you are, consequently. [Which is, of course, Jack.] It's a funny little pecking order.

I can say I've seen that at work where I'm from.

[He simply waves a hand.] All professions have their own version. Ours is just a bit more...Unusual.

How is that?

[Ange sets down her mug and starts fiddling with the knobs for the oven.]

[He thinks, judging by his appearance, it would be fairly obvious.] Well, it's not as though we go about anything else the conventional way, either, is it?

Besides, we're a democratic group. Bloody elections for everything. [Which, thankfully, he's never actually had to take part in as a Pirate Lord. Yet.]

Huh. I don't really know how we do things--ah! So that turns it on.

[She twists a knob back and forth a couple times.]

But I think we have a senate of some sort.

Well, we only do it to thumb our noses at the monarchies. [But he pushes away from where he's been leaning to move closer (thought not too close) to at least get a general idea.]

Did ye figure it out, then.

I think so. [Ange demonstrates.] It's more like the stove than I thought. You have to push it in to ignite...something, and then adjust the heat.

Adjust it for what. [Seriously, what does that it even mean.]

You cook things at different heats, I think.

[Ange puts a hand on her hip.]

...But wouldn't cooking at a higher temperature be more efficient?

[He only raises an eyebrow, setting his empty mug aside.]

P'raps. If ye wished everything to be a charred mess, I'd imagine. [Seriously, he has no idea, this cooking this is weird, okay?]

Even if it is suspicious, eating what this place gives us seems more and more appealing.

[Her tone makes it obvious she is not going to do this. She's just complaining.]

[Let Hector just adjust his tinfoil hat here...]

P'raps that be the point.

Maybe.

[She looks at him, arms crossed.]

Are you paranoid normally or is there a specific reason?

[Have an eyeroll, Ange. Because really now.]

Nay, I can't say as I am. However, given that- [He breaks off, and gestures around the kitchen.] I'm supposed to be in Tortuga, lass, bound for Singapore and points beyond. Of course I'm paranoid, considering this is very much not Tortuga, and I can't say as I can grow as content about that fact as some seem to.

[Because, you know. Deals with sea goddesses, his life in the balance...There's a lot going on where he's from.]

[Well okay, those are good points. Maybe she's just getting too used to being whisked around unexpectedly.]

Hm. Someone will have to do something about that.

[She turns toward the door. Tea time is done so she is done with the kitchen.]

Good luck with your meal if you decide to try again.
