"First we need to make the rice part of the dish."<br/><br/>She explained how to make up the vinegared rice, as she laid out a sheet of seaweed in a rectangular form, and scooped freshly made rice into it from a bowl. "A certain type of sushi, known as oshi sushi is made by putting a layer of ingeredients in a form like this, then layering the rice on top and pressing it down. The form is removed, and the block is cut into bite sized pieces."<br/><br/>She did as she said, but then took the block and chopped it up into the familiar bite sized blocks to act as thwe base for nigiri . Another sheet, made thinner was sliced in two to form two A5 sized sheets. She separated and laid out the blocks on another tray, turning them so their seaweed was upside. peeling them away, she added a dab of wasabi. "Okay, time for you little Rays to get sone rest."<br/><br/>She plucked up one of them, and laid him down on a block, wrapping the seaweed strip across his waist. The wasabi held it in place at the sides.</div></blockquote><br/><br/><br/>"Some rest? What do you mean by that?" The main Ray would ask, enjoying the new sushi blanket that was created for him and his new army of micros.<br/><br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>bubble_dragon wrote:</cite>Kimiko marshaled a group of them across to the blocks, and said, "In the kitchen, there always more work to be done than hands to do it. Usually..."<br/><br/>he took a tail in one hand and chanted. "Oh what could there better be, then two or three or four of me? Appearing now without a sound, and surprising all around." She yanked on her tail, and it came out, pulling a figure out of the cluster of her remaining tails. It was a duplicate of Kimiko. She repeated the process several times and got more duplicates. "I'll take care of the nigiri!" "Me too!" "I guess I'm on maki." "I'll get the stuffing for the main course." <br/><br/>The five tailed pototype picked up one of the six inch high Rays, and took him over to the larger squares of rice, where one of her one tailed duplicates was already laying long strips of cucumber across them. "If you just lie down, and leave the rest to me..."<br/><br/>"I'll get started on the main course in the mean time." She turned. "Could we please have our next volunteer!"</div></blockquote><br/><br/>They would lay down on the cucumber, seemingly befuddled at the sudden appearance of her clones. But, if she could clone him, it would make sense to be able to clone herself. "All right, Mrs. Ninetails, take me away!"
