South Korea wandered in to the area, following the smell of food. Food was important, especially meat-type-food. He had not been technically looking for food, however finding some was just another small success. He had actually been looking for China, and, upon hearing said nations telltale voice, (well, more specifically, the 'aru') entered the premises. And saw...a panda? And Singapore. She must have arrived when he wasn't looking. And then he caught site of what exactly they were eating. Being hamburgers. How they had gotten there, Korea wouldn't really ever know. And he saw China. Which made him very happy. Bounding over to said Asian nation, completely ignoring whatever else was going on at the moment (as per usual) South Korea threw is arms around the elder nation and squeezed. "ANIKI~! Hello, da-ze!" He said, still clinging on to China.

America hadn't known a panda lived with them in the warehouse. Considering this was China, though, he wasn't all that surprised. It figured China would be the one to bring a panda with him wherever he went. America went back to his burgers, pressing them onto his frying pan and smiling at the little 'sizzle' they made. He really couldn't wait to dig in. "You can help China," America replied to Singapore, glancing over at her. "I got this! China, though, is an old man, so he'd probably need some assistance." So it wasn't the lowest blow in the book, but an insult as still an insult, and he was sore at China. It would have to do.
He had been about to flip the hamburgers when South Korea bounded into the room and started squeezing the heck out of China. America blinked, wondering if the smell of his awesome cooking was drawing more and more nations in. No matter. They still had a ton of meat left, and America didn't mind cooking for everyone.

She nodded at America and started at China's direction to help. She giggled as she walked remembering what America said about China being an old man. But she stopped halfway as another Asian nation came bouncing into the kitchen and giving China a squeeze that probably shorten his life by half. She recognized this enthusiastic nation; South Korea. She let out another giggle as she witnessed a very comical site. The warehouse wasn't exactly as she thought it would be.
'It's going to be an interesting life.' she thought to herself.
"So, China, what are you cooking?" she asked.

"Are you sure America? After all two people work faster than one." Lithuania offered. He wasn't exactly adept at this kind of cooking, he generally worked with grains and vegetables more due to his agricultural past, but that didn't mean he was terrible.
He jumped slightly as South Korea burst into the room, disrupting the crafted atmosphere rather spectacularly.

[[My computer kept bringing in a blank page every time I tapped in.]]
China gritted his teeth hard. He feared becoming late with the times once again. To him, that would redeem his past death sentence that was cut off the hook after the Boxer Rebellion. If America hadn't been America, China would have taken it to heart.
He was young, and hip and cool not an old man! What was this madness?
"K-Korea," He pushed him off with both hands taking from his shoulders, "I'm not a plush toy, you might hurt the panda, aru!"
China vocalized, adjusting his sagging shoulder and rubbing it hard, "新加坡 [Singapore], aru, we're making onion pancakes, and vegetarian spring rolls and Szechwan pumpkin soup for the appetizer. The first course is very important," he went on, passing her a band to tie her hair, "we need pumpkin," he motioned to the only odd vegetable in the pantry, "peeled and cut into small cubes, the seeds will be preserved for later. White pepper if they even have the spice in this kit---" he dragged his feet to a part of the counter, "that's where it is!... The vegetables need to be shredded and I'll look after the spring rolls with the extra, aru." He was going to make a meal that would last the week. And no one would complain about the vegetables. Not with this sauce.
Mutely, he was giving the silent treatment to America.

Korea pouted as he was pushed off. Still clinging on to the back of the nation's shirt, Korea retained his earlier facial expression and poked at the panda. "But I would't hurt the panda! The FLOOR would hurt the panda, da-ze!" Korea cackled, obviously at least somewhat pleased with himself as he watched said panda. Eventually being detached from China by said nation, South Korea settled with standing absurdly close to the old nation. Close enough that it was obvious enough he had never been acquainted with the term 'personal space'. Or 'The Atmosphere'. He had been told to read "The Atmosphere" many times, but had never really been able to find the book. Ah, well. Korea glued himself closer to China. Only partially not trying avoiding the panda (aru) because China had specifically told him to not hurt the panda. Reverse psychology would do wonders on the nation.

Singapore let out yet another giggle. She took the hair and from China and tied her short hair. She didn't know why she needed to tie her hair because it was short enough, but since it was China, she did it. There were a bit of hair sticking out because it was too short and te hair Singapore managed to tie up looked like a cactus sprouting out of her head. Not that she cared, she was just simply amused.
She took the pumpkin and started peeling the skin off. She hummed to herself a bit as she busied herself. Then she took a quick glance at China's direction. He was still having trouble prying himself from South Korea. She turned again and looked at America this time.
'Now it looks like they're the ones who need the most help.' Singapore thought to herself. 'Maybe I should've just stayed and helped America instead.'

"I'll be fine, Lithuania!" America responded to the brunette nation with a laugh, flipping his burgers and grinning when he saw how perfect they were looking. And, oh god, the smell was simply amazing. "Um...if you do wanna help, maybe you can start putting them on buns or something. Once I finish, I mean." He never really liked ordering Lithuania around like that. When the older nation lived with him, he was such an amazing friend and would always do whatever America had wanted. Even then, America wasn't too keen on treating him like a slave; he had quickly become an amazing friend and it seriously sucked when he was taken away.
"Only if you'd like to," he quickly added, hoping Lithuania didn't think he was being ordered around. America could probably be a jerk to any nation but Lithuania. It just seemed rather impossible.
He stole a quick glance to the Asian nations, marveling about how incredibly weird they were. He was sure glad he wasn't like that! He was perfectly normal and intelligent and strong. They were certainly going to have a fine time trying to work together.

Chop! Chop!
Singapore started chopping the pumpkin into cubes. She was careful to leave the seeds at the left side of the chopping board for later. She stopped for a bit a noticed America giving a quick glance at her direction. Well, not exactly hers, more like in the Asian corner f the kitchen. She tried to think of the possible things going around in America's head. Probably something about us Asians being... different from him.
'I wonder if they're really ok without another helping hand.' Singapore thought. But she pushed that thought aside as she she took a quick peek at both South Korea and China. She chuckled. Then, she remembered her pumpkin.
"Ah!" she reacted a bit too quickly to her memory and accidentally cut get finger. She put her finger in her mouth and held back a whimper.

"Of course! It's no problem. Glad to be useful!" Lithuania smiled, it was rare for America to consider other peoples feelings, especially when he was doing other stuff. Most people said that he just ordered everyone around, but Lithuania didn't think so. He'd always been very civil to him, much better than...yeah.

'Don't say anything!' Singapore told herself. 'Argh! How could I be so stupid as to cut my own finger?!'
A bit of her blood touched the tip of her tongue. It tasted like iron. How was she supposed to continue cutting the pumpkin with a bleeding finger? No one wants a bloody meal! She sighed and continued scolding herself. She didn't notice that she was beginning to bite on her fingers. The more she scolded herself, the harder she bit. When he finally noticed it, it had become a very big cut. And there was a bruise around the wound. She took her finger out from her mouth.
'Oh great! It's bleeding even more.' Singapore needed something to wrap her finger with... Fast. She looked around the kitchen avoiding eye contact with the other nations.
'I shouldn't tell them.' Singapore said in her mind. 'I don't want anyone worrying about me. I can handle this on my own. On my own.'
She said those words over and over again on her head as she looked for something that could cover up her finger.

Sadly, a certain Korean nation noticed the cut. Un-glueing himself from China, South Koreas skipped over to the OCD (or so he liked to say) Singapore and leaned around her, noting that she was obviously trying to hide the injury. "You need a bandaid?" He pointed at the cut. "Bandaids were invented in Korea, you know." Then, leaning closer to Singapore, said, "Don't let Aniki tell you any different! Da-ze!" Before leaning away from the nation's ear, Korea made a point of blowing on it, just to see what kind of reaction he could get from Singapore.

Someone leaned on Singapore.
"You need a bandaid?" Korea asked.
'Busted...' Singapore said to herself. She was so busted.
"Bandaids were invented in Korea, you know." he continued. She jumped a little, noticing that the nation was a bit too close. But when she felt a cool wind brush her ear, she shrieked.
"EEK!!" she gripped the kitchen knife that she was still holding in her other hand and slashed behind her. Even though that may cause a very messy accident, she reacted that way. When she realized what she was doing, she dropped the knife on the floor and put her good hand on her ear. "I... I'm sorry."
She turned red with embarrassment, anger, and guilt.

"Thanks, dude!" America exclaimed, a grin practically taking up his face. "It'll go a lot faster with the two of us working together, ya know." He hummed as he set the cooked burgers on a plate, then grabbed a few more slabs of raw meat and stuck them on the pan. Yep, he'd be the perfect cook for this place. I wonder if Spain has tomatoes to slice up. I'm pretty sure some of the nations might like it more if it looked healthier. Well, whatever. It wasn't really his problem.
As he hummed and flipped, he suddenly heard some commotion over with the Asians (as they were now known in his head). He spun to face them, eyes wide when he saw Singapore wielding a large kitchen knife. "Y-You guys alright?" he asked, wondering if perhaps Singapore was going insane. Or maybe she finally got tired of South Korea.

"Of course!" Lithuania smiled and started slicing into the buns with the nearest available knife causing bread crumbs to spray everywhere, a few landing in America's pan and sizzling pathetically.
he reached over and stabbed a butty with his knife and flipped it onto the cut up roll, placing the 'completed' food item onto the newly cleaned counter. Lithuania was just stabbing the 3rd burger meat with the tool when he heard a shriek from the other side of the room.
"Are you guys ok!?" He said worriedly, knowing, or hearing of, South Korea it was probably just him doing something stupid and SIngapore overeacting, but one could never be too careful.
