Comments

♠ Your name: Sammich
♠ # of submission: 3
♠ Title of submission: untitled
♠ Characters: Most of them, but mostly Gin-sensei and Aoi-sama.
♠ Word count: 331
♠ Theme used: Food. At first.
♠ Author notes: I don't know what his latest creation does either, but I'm sure you can top anything I come up with. :P
♠ The body of the fic:

"There you all are! I thought you'd want to know that it's finished!"

Gin-sensei's proclamation to the table was met with a long moment of dead silence - although to be fair, that might have had as much to do with the fact that it was in the middle of dinner as anything. Kou glanced up, saying nothing around his mouthful of steak; Tobi didn't even bother looking up from slicing into his own. The reactions around the table ranged from indifference (Aoi, always Aoi) to mild but well-disguised horror (though nobody could really blame Murasaki for that, after the ruckus and mess Gin's last invention had wrought) - all of it, though, in dead silence.

At least until Mikan finished chewing and swallowing and spoke up, giving voice to the question that was on everyone's mind, but that nobody seemed to want to ask.

"What does it do?"

"If my calculations are correct -"

Gin was cut off by an audible snort from Aoi. "So, by that you're telling us that you haven't tested it, and you're merely guessing as to what it's going to do, because after the last one you surely can't be so foolish as to believe we'll all accept that the intended result is anything close to the actual one."

More silence, broken only by a bit of awkward shuffling and fidgeting with the silverware around the table - but as much as that sounded like subdued agreement, Gin didn't seem put off in the least, and simply smiled wanly at Aoi.

"There is always room for error in the scientific process. I had intended, actually, to ask for all of your help in testing it. You'll help me out, won't you?" The shuffling and fidgeting that followed that question was at least ten times more awkward...and yet not a single person outright refused. Even Aoi knew that no argument was going to get them out of this one.

Gin-sensei had an oddly persuasive nature, even when he hardly bothered to say a word.
