Video to All | Bassoon day 28 | also action welcome!

[Romeo's face grins through the screens. It's been a pretty scary few days and he's been trying to keep his spirits up as much as he can and to help everyone else do the same. It had been pretty tricky though!

But then there had been a message on the screens and Romeo had gone to investigate and found the pumpkins, he knew what they were because he had asked when they had first found them on the platform! But he hadn't known you could make faces out of them!]

Does anyone's world have the tradition about putting faces in pumpkins? I don't think my world did! I didn't know what a pumpkin was before so I guess we didn't! How do you do it?

Also what can you make with pumpkins? They are vegetables right so we could make soup or mash it? Does it taste good mashed? Or we could fry it and eat it with rice or noodles. I'm not sure it would go well with fish but there's still a lot of fish in the store rooms.

I know it's not Blue teams time to cook but tasty food always makes me feel better so if anyone wants to come and have some food I am going to try and make something with a pumpkin and make a face with one as well!

You do? That's great sir! I don't think I ever had pumpkin before so I don't even really know what it tastes like! The best way to try new food is to try lots of recipes with it though and then we can make tasty food for people to cheer them up!

[Soup is always nice so that is a very good start!]

That's the spirit.

[He wants to try this cream cheese pumpkin bread recipe out too. And at hearing what Romeo says, Ignis turns his head away from the camera. Really between Romeo and Madoka he just can't because they never fail to cheer him up.]

Do you want to come and make some food now sir? [He pauses for a moment before adding.] You don't got to, if you're busy!

[Ignis shakes his head.]

I'm never too busy for my team, and I shall be there momentarily.

I'll see you soon sir!

[When Ignis arrives he will find Romeo surrounded by pumpkins. He's managed to gather things he thinks they might need as well, like knives and bowls and pans. He's excited to make soup and other tasty food!]

[Leaving his room, Ignis immediately headed to the kitchen. There Romeo was, seemingly up to his eyes in pumpkins. Thinking of Prompto who would probably be just as enthusiastic or even more so, he took out his cellphone.]

I'm going to take your picture with all of this if that's alright.

[Again, options.]

You want to take my picture? [He nodded and grinned, looking towards Ignis and his phone. He knew how pictures worked! He gave his best smile!]

[Ignis tried to keep the smile off of his face as he raised his phone and took a picture of the boy surrounded by all of the pumpkins. Pressing the button, the camera lowered and he nodded, turning it around to show Romeo.]

Well taken I think.

[He goes to look at the screen, grinning at the picture.] That's a good one mister Ignis!

I didn't know you had your phone, can you call people with it?

[It wasn't Prompto's quality of a picture but then again the blonde had an actual camera on him. So Ignis just gave a quick polite smile.]

No, there's no cell service in space I'm afraid.

[Looking over the pumpkins he nodded.]

You've quite the collection here. Where have you started?

I guess not sir... It would have been nice if you could have phoned your friends from your world though!

[He looked around with a grin.] No where yet sir! I was just seeing what we had! I don't know how many pumpkins we need to make soup!

Indeed it would.

[Ignis nodded his assent to Romeo's comment.]

Let's start by figuring out how many we're cooking for.

[And this has him pulling out the notes he had for pumpkin soup.]

Um... I can go and count all the names if you want sir!

[There's lots of people on the train, but not so high a number to be too many to count he doesn't think!]

[Ignis shakes his head and looks over the bounty of the pumpkins.]

No need if we're making this for everyone. However, let's check our list to make sure no one is allergic.

Okay sir! What does allergic mean? What list do we have? [He gets a feeling he's going to learn a lot from mister Ignis!]

Allergic means that if you eat something, there's an adverse reaction to ingesting it.

[Finding the list, he then handed it to Romeo.]

There it is, and see if you can find anyone who can't have pumpkin.

[Ignis was fine with it having had it himself. But others might not be so fortunate, and part of cooking for everyone meant finding out how new ingredients would be received. Of course there was always the gamble that someone might not know they were allergic to something until they actually had whatever it was.]

[So it made you sick? That wasn't good! It was important to check then!

Romeo took the list and frowned as he began reading it, bringing his finger to point at each name and the list of things they couldn't eat.

It took a while, but he was determined to make super sure that they didn't accidentally make anyone sick!]

[Ignis smiled at the seriousness in which Romeo was taking this task, but if the boy looked at him he'd get a poker face. Patiently he waited a few minutes and then he piped up.]

Is anyone allergic to pumpkin then? Or are we clear to give it to everyone?

[He was curious about this matter himself, but it was important to check on allergies first.]

I don't think so, mister Ignis! I think we can give the soup to everyone! [That was good, it would be sad if anyone couldn't have the soup because Romeo was sure it was going to be very tasty indeed!]

[He nodded.]

Then we'll get started right away.

[Looking over the small pumpkin harvest, he smiled and read over his recipe notes. Renee had been very helpful with providing details so Ignis washed his hands and grabbed two knives, handing one to Romeo.]

[Romeo took the knife carefully and watched Ignis so he could make sure to do everything right!]

What do we got to do first, sir?

[Ignis halved the pumpkin with his knife and then looked over the recipe.]

First we take the seeds out and clean the insides.

[He looked back at Romeo and smiled.]

Then we'll bake these halves and once they're done, we'll take the insides out.

[Romeo peered at the pumpkin once it was cut in half. It looked so strange! They had to take the seeds out? He reached in and started picking the seeds and putting them to the side. This could take a long time!] How do we clean it? With water?

[Ignis smiled. This was his first time ever tackling a pumpkin and it was great that he had a member of his team to share this particular memory with. But he said nothing and headed over to the sink to grab something to scoop with.

He went through the various utensils before deciding on one. Grabbing a bowl next, he set these down next to Romeo.]

Scoop them into the bowl and we should have this done in no time.

Yes sir! [That would be much faster! He began scooping the seeds, picking up a whole lot more than only one and putting them in the bowl.] Are the seeds good to eat as well? What about the skin? Is it like an apple or a banana?
