[LN] Colonel Sanders in the house
The thing with superspeed and cooking was that it was great for food prep but it still took just as long for things to cook as they always did. Kon had tried heatvision in the past, to speed things along, but that'd always had disastrous results. Using it to warm food, though, that worked and that was how he reheated the first batch of fried chicken he'd made after he finished the last batch. He also used it to reheat the gravy.
It was a proper gravy, a creamy sawmill gravy. He was crazy proud of his gravy. He'd never been able to replicate Ma's cooking 100% but he sure came close with the gravy.
The lounge area had lots of comfy chairs and was an ideal place for people to relax and hang out while eating fried chicken so he set up shop near all the comfy couches, putting down plate after plate of fried chicken and biscuits. The biscuits had been made in a massive batch and had been left warming in the oven so they nice and warm and flaky.
He danced around as he finished cooking his massive chicken dinner to one of those ipod stereos. He had an ipod full of girly pop that he'd nicked from the lab. At first he thought it was maybe Honey Lemon's but when he saw that the playlist names had somehow been programmed in Interlac, he figured out it was Lyle or Brainy's. In the past, their inclination towards girly pop music was something he might have ribbed them over but now? Now he danced around and sang to Katy Perry's "Roar" like nobody's business.
Between the music and the smell of delicious fried chicken and biscuits, most of the myths at the Pole would come see what the fuss was about but in case some of them didn't, Kon had made a whole tray of biscuits as a treat for the elves and he used them as a preemptive reward for getting the others.
"Go, my minions!" he cried out, tossing biscuits to them. "Go and get the others so they may feast!"
Out of gratitude for the delicious biscuits, they saluted him and spread out to bring everyone's attention to the glorious spread. Anyone that came to see what the fuss was about would be treated to an early dinner of delicious fried chicken, biscuits and gravy, and for the vegetarians among them (like Lyle and Brainy), grits, collard greens, black-eyed peas, and mashed potatoes.
Yes, he'd gone all out. It was almost Easter and that meant a few people would be having an Easter here instead of with their families, right? So it'd be a good one. He also figured doing it before Easter was a good idea in case Bunny needed their help or something on actual Easter Day.
When people started showing up, they were treated to the sight of a rather spectacular feast and the sight of Kon dancing around between the lounge and the kitchen as he finished making one last boatload of gravy and cleaned up. He was wearing an apron that said 'Kiss my grits!'
"Go ahead and tuck in," he said to people as they started showing up. "It's Before-Easter Dinner! And while I can't claim I'm as good a cook as the lady I learned to cook from, who I learned to cook from is a genuine Kansas farmer so it's still finger-lickin' good."

Probably because he was a massive nerd, and therefore never got invited to any. And then he became Spider-man, and even if he actually managed to make it to a party it'd like, get gate crashed by a mutant blowing up cars or something. (Hey, that actually happened.) So what were you even supposed to do at parties, really? Everyone always looked like they were having fun, but the fun always seemed to elude Peter. But at least there was food. You could just hover around it all, stuffing your face, and no one would even question it. Food was safe.
Or at least it was until a portal appeared in front of his plate, a hand reaching out of it for his sausage rolls. Instinctively, he grabbed the reaching hand by the wrist before he'd even consciously registered that it was there. When he did consciously register that it was there, he blinked.
"Oh. My. God." What that a portal? That was a portal. Just hanging right there, in the middle of the air. "This is so cool. And...wait, who uses awesome portal powers to steal food? Seriously?"
He pulled on the arm, jerking it back and forth, trying to look back to where it originated. "Did it occur to you to try saying 'please'?" he said through the portal. Or at least he hoped he said it through the portal. He kinda had no idea whether or not sound could travel though it at all.

Across the room, Haruto stiffens when someone grabs him. He glances over to the table for a moment, and hears the comment come through, albeit somewhat muffled. He leans to the side somewhat, putting the rest of his arm and head through the spell circle portal. "Ah, whoops - sorry about that, didn't realize I was doing what I was doing. I thought this part of the table wasn't occupied." He gives Peter a sheepish grin that looks genuinely surprised and a little flustered. He didn't mean to accidentally try to steal food, honest!
