Mess Hall mingle post

[moextispicy]

[It's Tuesday, everyone's favorite day in the Mess Hall. Today, camp has decided to accompany the soup with a generous supply of various anti-nausea remedies, from a wide variety of ginger flavored things to Pepto Bismol. It would probably increase the ominousness of the soup to noncannibals if anything actually could at this point.

[Ssssidles up behind]

Whatcha doing?

[forcedtoplay]

I'm going to cook.

[this is a lot more unsafe than it sounds]

[gameoverorbust]

Cook what?

[forcedtoplay]

Japanese food.

[there are also cookbooks because, let's be honest, she has no idea what she's doing]

[gameoverorbust]

. . . seriously? You could ask for my help!

[forcedtoplay]

. . .if you don't mind. I wouldn't want to bother you.

[gameoverorbust]

I only really know the basics, but the basics are all you need to start with!

[forcedtoplay]

Right, right! [nods] You'll be a big help then.

[setting her stuff all down] So you start by choosing what you want to make, right?

[gameoverorbust]

Yeah. What have you got?

[forcedtoplay]

Well, I was going to try Onigiri first since I know what it's supposed to taste like, and my friend said she'd made them before and it was easy. But then I saw a bunch of other recipes that looked good and thought I could just try a bunch today, since there's not much else to do here.

[gameoverorbust]

I see. I don't have much experience cooking myself, but it won't hurt to try.

[forcedtoplay]

Wait, do you have a favorite food? I was asking Haruki about what you like, but he didn't say anything about that in particular.

[gameoverorbust]

You talked to Haruki?

... I don't really have a favorite anyway, but we could try curry rice.

[forcedtoplay]

[spoken very quickly] Yeah, I wanted to know what you liked so I could surprise you, but I'm awful at surprises so it didn't work out.

--Curry rice it is then.
