[Console][Video] 1st Donut Eaten

[croissaunt]

[Have a nice, middle-aged woman with short brown hair waving at the camera. Cass is smiling brightly. Hello! I'm Cass Rudolph, Tadashi and Hiro Hamadas' Aunt!

[She clasps tougher her hands briefly!] I hope they haven't been too much trouble!

.... Speaking of which! I have a quick public service announcement!

[Cass unclasps her hands and instead puts them on the console, leaning in as her smile turns into a frown, her brows furrowing.]

Hi-ro Ha-ma-da. Where. Is. My. Rice. Cook-er?

[Pepper hasn't met either Tadashi or Hiro yet, but she knows someone who is very handy when it comes to building things. Someone who she is currently upset with, but who can be helpful in certain situations nonetheless.]

I know someone who can build you another. He might add some...extra features, though.

[Iron Cooker. Rice Man. Basically, it's probably going to be flight-capable and may or may not use repulsor technology to flashboil the rice.]

[She looks at Pepper for a moment, somewhere between amusement and curiosity--and still some annoyance in the background of her expression.]

Are you sure you aren't talking about my nephew?

[Or his long lost twin. Because that is exactly something that Hiro would do if he was bored enough.]

Hiro's going to put it back together, at least. I threatened his dinner.

[lasergrenades]

Preeeeeeeetty sure. I'm really good with names and faces and remembering things. Plus, you know, Tony hasn't ever mentioned any aunts. Especially not here.

[There in lies the difference between Hiro and Tony - while Hiro would do it out of boredom, Tony would do it because kitchen robots. Any item in his culinary toolkit would have to, at minimum, be able to entirely operate itself and have defensive capabilities.]

Ooh, good one. What'd he do with it that he had to take it apart?

[croissaunt]

Juuuust check-ing!

[Cass is grinning wide. Yup. She was joking. As to the question? Well, she shrugs.]

I didn't ask.

[lasergrenades]

Probably a good idea. If Tony had taken apart my rice cooker and put it back together I wouldn't want to know what he was using it for either, or what he might have done to it. Unless it started turning rice into something else, which would be freaky.

[croissaunt]

Hiro knows better than to break a source of food.

[THANKFULLY.]

[lasergrenades]

Yeah, I don't think Tony inherited all the proper survival instincts. It does sound like he's got competition in the genius department though.

Also, hi, I'm Pepper, Pepper Potts!
