Thread Roulette: Soup or Salad?

[Event !]

Doris Hanes and Nik Kenjutsushi are hard at work cooking for the soup kitchen outside of town.

[Dr. Nik Kenjutsushi]

When she had signed up for volunteer work, Nakia hadn't expected to be working at the soup kitchen. Not that this was a bad thing, however anyone who knew her knew that this would be a task that she was... uniquely unsuited for. However, there was no real objection that she could make, and she had volunteered. To back out now over the assignment wouldn't cast a very good light on her.

Fortunately, it looked like most of the "cooking" that she was taking part in was heating refrigerated soup (prepared the previous night) over a warmer and serving it to the local homeless community. Dressed in dark wash jeans and one of the few black t-shirts that she owned, the doctor looked more like the students that were milling about helping rather than her professional persona, but that was quite fine. She didn't need to flash her position here; she just needed to be another helping hand in an apron, willing to show some kindness to those less fortunate.

Just as she was tying up her white hair out of her face, blue eyes caught a familiar face. "Doris!" Finishing the tie-off, Nik made her way over to the older woman. "It's good to see you. Are you on serving duty as well?"

It would be nice to have someone she knew nearby, even if they were mostly passing acquaintances still.

[Doris Hanes]

Doris was assigned to serve to the low-income families. She arrived at the diner that was holding this event. Doris checked in and went to report to her station in the kitchen. It was a simple task. Just heat up the premade soup. They also had the ingredients for salad, which was easy to throw together.

Doris walked into the kitchen to find a new surprise. “Oh, hello Nikia. How are you? Yes, I am. It looks like us girls are in the kitchen.” She picked up an apron. She put it on and tied it. “Let’s roll our sleeves and get cooking.” Neither one of them had sleeves to roll. Nik was in a t-shirt and Doris was in a dress with short sleeves.
