[what tensions Jericho had in dipping back in time without the know-how of the old Initiative staff is fading as the scent of a familiar dish is soaking the air of the kitchen. at this late hour, he doesn't have to worry about getting in the way of someone much more savvy or, perhaps, impatient to have their turn at a stove. it makes for rather pleasant, focused cooking.

stew, generously peppered with mustard seed. it's been so long that Jericho's already half-eaten the whole thing in his imagination. it just needs a few more minutes to sit and blend properly, he's sure, and it'll be something practically divine.

the spicy, warm smell snakes its way out of the kitchen and into the mess hall proper, hanging like a welcome banner to curious noses and hungry stomachs roaming about.]

[Asuka still didn't like the base, although she admitted that it was a step above dead. She couldn't keep track of time and her internal clock was starting to go a bit haywire. And of course the food was universally terrible. Maybe that's why she notices the smell of something delicious floating through the mess hall. Follow her nose, Asuka pokes her head into the kitchen.]

Hey-

[Oh, it's Jericho. She tries to reign in the urge to grimace.]

-what are you making?
