... Why does it smell almost passable?

[ratinthehat]

[experimentally sniffing]

Miiight be the cilantro? That's one of the few things that hasn't turned into garbage the minute it touches the soup.

It's not great, but this batch hasn't tried to eat me yet. Which is progress.

[experimentally? FULL ON SMELLING OF THE SOUP]

I don't think it's that. But... it's good that it hasn't eaten you. Rats aren't being served as part of a meal here, ever.

[ratinthehat]

[it smells... kind of like vegetable soup! with a hint of motor oil, sadly, but it's NOT MOVING yet]

That's a policy I'm grateful for. [bit of chopped onion get!]

[drag_on_lady]

Guess there's actual cooks here this week...

[ratinthehat]

There are every week, I've noticed.

...not that this counts as actual food yet, though.

[drag_on_lady]

*thinking about cookin' somethin' up as well*

Yeah, but it's usually unedible.

[ratinthehat]

That's more the fault of camp, though. And just because it smells edible now doesn't mean it'll stay that way for long.

[get_sometail]

Workin' hard, Remy?

[ratinthehat]

Yep. Still haven't figured it out yet, but I'm getting somewhere!

[whoo tossing in some onion - three-point shot!]

[get_sometail]

Nice shot!

[leeeeans in to get a good look at the soup]

[ratinthehat]

[it looks like soup and smells like vegetable soup, but... no, there's that hint of motor oil and it's starting to turn that greenish color.]

Wait, wait, wait, I know I've seen this before, what did I use to counter that? [sniffing around]

[maybealioness]

A - a rat?!

[gettin_fired_up]

Yes, but it's a rat in a bodysuit!

[maybealioness]

Why is it in a bodysuit?

. . .Is it. . . cooking?

[gettin_fired_up]

Looks like it. Considerin' it's Tuesday's soup we're talkin' about here, he can't really do anythin' to make it worse, right?

[spaceloli]

... Hey, I remember you!

[ratinthehat]

[pausing mid-stir to wave] Hi there!

[spaceloli]

Do you remember me?

[ratinthehat]

You were there when I was cooking for Marcy, right? I don't think I got your name.
