[The post clicks on and for a few seconds there's nothing but silence. If you listen closely you can hear the faint rustle of leaves - you guessed it, this is another obligatory plant-post. There's a clatter as the communicator is being propped up on the floor, followed by a soft ripping sound. Not really disturbing or even unpleasant but still

Citrus fruits? Like oranges and stuff?

[baratiesbest]

Exactly. Oranges, limes, mikan... they're all great sources of vitamin C.

[pilot_princess]

Those sound yummy...

[baratiesbest]

They are! Would you like a taste, Miss Anemone?

[pilot_princess]

Of course I do!

[baratiesbest]

I'll make sure to save you one then! ♥

[pilot_princess]

Thank you, Sanji.

[baratiesbest]

You're welcome, my lady! It's the least I can do~

[pilot_princess]

You're so sweet.

But what's scurvy?

[baratiesbest]

It's a disease caused by a lack of Vitamin C. It used to be pretty damn common out at sea and a lot of people died before they figured out the cause - fresh fruit is pretty damn hard to get when you're out at sea for weeks at a time so they just didn't bother bringing any.

Come to think of it... I'm surprised we haven't had any cases here.

[pilot_princess]

Oh... that's weird. I'm glad there haven't been any cases here. That's kind of gross.

[baratiesbest]

Scurvy is... pretty damn nasty. That's why it's so important to have a well-balanced diet.

[pilot_princess]

I guess that makes sense. It makes cooking harder, though, doesn't it?

[baratiesbest]

If you lack the proper training it can be pretty damn difficult, but it's really not as complicated as it sounds. Or maybe I'm just used to it!

[pilot_princess]

Oh... You might just be used to it. Cooking's really hard!

[baratiesbest]

It is a science, I can't deny that. You learn a lot along the way though and once you've picked up the basics the rest is easy.

Getting whacked over the head every time you get a cooking temperature wrong does wonders too!
