This damn' door sticks / It sticks no matter what the hell I do

Who: Jade Harley & Kanaya Maryam
When: Today
Where: Their shared apartment
Summary: Two girls who don't know how to use a microwave are perplexed by a device without an irradiation option.
Warnings: Technological disasters.

The problem with the microwave was that it was unusable.

It did not come with directions. It came with a lot of buttons, which specified a very small and limited arrangement of potential foods they could prepare. Kanaya was not specifically sure what a potato was, or whether or not that was a stable of the human diet, but SHE certainly didn't need one. There was no irradiation option, which was preposterous- how were they to prepare their meat properly?

Kanaya just kept poking the buttons. But no matter what she did, the fact remained- the food was still cold, and nothing was getting cooked.

"What the hell is wrong with this device?"

"This is ridiculous."

She doesn't so much say it as huff the word exasperatedly, hands on her hips as she stares down this electrical device. It was more than a little ridiculous - she'd asked at a bunch of stores for a nice cookalizer or refrigifyificator or even a portable refrigerator, and all she'd gotten was puzzled looks and items that were way too big and all wrong! Refrigerators are supposed to be small and easy to carry around, duh, and what kind of a weird one doesn't even have a rotary dial? She supposes that is the alternate universe future for you. This is still disappointing though because she'd been looking forward to seeing what kind of stuff would get invented three years ahead - maybe some super sweet upgrades to what she's used to - but instead there's just all this weird stuff. And don't even get her started on the stairs and elevators. What if she had Bec here with her? Her poor dog would go hungry, and all because she can't even find a decent irradiating cookalizer.
