Who: Soundwave and Saber
When: Beginning of Septeril
Where: Saber's residence
What: Talking, exchanging backstories
Warnings: Likely war discussion will come up. A crime against cuisine

[With their schedule clear, it was time to make true of the promise they made back during Lunasa celebration last month, both offered to share their long stories when they have the time. A bit of a bonding exercise, and it was an opportunity to learn more about the blond girl. It's early in the afternoon, they'll have plenty of time to discuss their stories. Given that he could still transform into his alt-mode, an armored vehicle of sort, it won't be long for him to reach Saber's place of residence after a small exchange over their watches.

The roar of an engine is alien for the locals but it was sure to perk anyone's attention, as he rolls over to his destination. It's fairly likely that Saber might be able to hear it too, the rumbling sound of an engine, getting closer and closer outside until it dies down. He'll leave himself parked outside the house, materialized his avatar instead as to better able to enjoy the drinks Saber will provide.

After making sure he's got the right house, he knocks upon the door and waits for her patiently, sending a message to Saber beforehand that he's arriving soon.]

...I've never thought about trying that. Would you like to?

[ She's not sure if they can do that, but, uh.

Might as well try? ]

We could try, yes.

[This is a horrendous idea they're about to do, and Soundwave doesn't realize that.]

I suppose we can experiment.

[ This will end poorly, but she's still looking for the processor. ]

[It's a warcrime they're about to commit. While Saber searches for the appliance, Soundwave will just quietly wait for her with the half-eaten omelette in hand.]

[ She comes up with the appliance and sets it on the counter. She makes a low 'hmm' noise and then goes to the icebox for some ice. ]

I suppose we're ready to make the attempt.

Mm.

[After giving Saber a single nod, he proceeds to dumps the omelette into the appliance first. Then, it's the ice next... Which Soundwave glanced at her for the go ahead.]

[ She starts the appliance with a little brrr and after a short while, it's been appropriately reduced to something resembling liquid.

This is an atrocity against cuisine. ]

[In this very exact moment, every chef in existence felt a great disturbance.

The end product looks to be... something. A blend of gross-looking yellow and green. He's reserving his judgement, though. It tasted good before, so why wouldn't it be now, right?]

Ah. We should have glasses for this. [So, he'll go and grab two glasses and sets them on the counter.].

[ It doesn't look very appetizing, but... they'll see. Once he returns with the glasses and she very carefully pours them each one. She lifts hers with a nod. ]

Shall we?

[Even when it's being poured it doesn't look as appetizing as a smoothie would. Still, Soundwave bravely takes the glass and clinks his on Saber's.]

Let's...

[With a nod back, he'll take the sip at the same time together with Saber. Regret in 3...2...1]

[ Saber knocks part of hers back and instantly looks as if she is having a bad day.

That is not good at all to put it mildly. ]

I... think I should pour us some water.

[Soundwave looks like he's sick just as instantly... and then starts coughing and sputtering. Needless to say, the taste and texture are quite possibly the worse things he willingly tried to consume, generously speaking. Even though it was only data feedback for him, it was intense feedback.]

Yes. Do that, please.

[ She hastily dumps her "smoothie" into the sink and then pulls out a couple of cups and fills them with water, handing him one and then downing the other with a little 'bleh' noise.

Not their brightest idea. ]

Well, we've determined one thing we shouldn't do.

[Definitely not.

Soundwave quickly downs his water, and then sticks his tongue out.]

... I can still feel it on my tongue.

Let us never repeat that.

[ Ugh, Saber feels like she's going to wretch. ]

Agreed...

[He pours more water into his cup, drinks, gargles, and then spits it out into the sink. He still looks terrible, like he's a hangover after having too much drink the night before.]

We learned something at least...

So... not a complete failure, I suppose.

[ Bleh. More water and she actually gargles this time. ]

Turning food into a smoothie does not necessarily make good food better. It creates the opposite, in fact.... That's the lesson we should be taking from this.

[At least he thinks so.]

I agree...

[ She sounds very rueful. ]

I'm afraid I have spoiled the end of what was otherwise a very pleasant visit...

Don't be a fool, Saber...

[A sigh comes out after, feeling a bit dazed now too, as he stumbles towards Saber and just... rest his face on her shoulder.]

You shouldn't be blaming this solely on yourself. I am at fault as well for encouraging you.

Well, now we know better. Still... I hope it won't prevent you from returning. Hopefully with better results from me.

[ She still looks rather sheepish. ]

[Returning, huh... ]

... One terrible experience is not going to scare me away from trying it again. If anything, we should learn from our failure and improve ourselves.

[A little serious for something like blended omelette smoothie, but he means it.]

But I do hope our next experiment- should we thought of one -produce better result.

I have the same hopes.

[ She smiles ruefully. ]

For now... I think I had better clean up a little.

Ah, yes.

[He'll let her do the clean up, but--]

Allow me to help you with the cleaning, as well.
