021. Hobbies

[audio // Japanese]

Momotaros, do you still want to spar? Meet me in the gym.

[audio // English]

Does anyone here have hobbies besides drinking, violence, and sex?

I'm wondering if the proclivities of the passengers are an artifact of the selection process that populates this place, or if it's just the boredom getting to everyone.

I cook.

[electroniccrane]

Oh? What style?

[thenotmagician]

I'll cook anything at least once.

[Cause that answers everything]

[electroniccrane]

But what do you enjoy cooking? Or is it more about the process than the result?

[thenotmagician]

I enjoy cooking anything as long as it doesn't involve burying raw meat. Turns out disgusting no matter what.

The result is just as important as the process.

[electroniccrane]

And ephemeral. What do you get out of making something that's gone so soon?

[thenotmagician]

The pride of being able to make something good, even if it's temporary. People love food. If it's good food, you'll never hear the end of it.

[electroniccrane]

Do you compromise your craftsmanship when it's just you eating?

[A thorough understanding of Zeke's psychology is perhaps not the most useful thing to have, but acquiring it a force of habit.]

[thenotmagician]

No, I don't. I like to put as much effort as I can into my cooking, thanks.

[It's the one thing he's not lazy about... most of the time]

[electroniccrane]

Does that attitude carry over into other areas of your life?

[Zeke is so totally being interrogated, though she's keeping her tone cordial.]

[thenotmagician]

[Don't worry, Zeke has no issues with interrogation]

I dunno. Maybe? S'not like I do all that much else that would need to have that much effort put into it.
