The Grand Adventures of Watanuki, logbook entry 055 [voice]

[flailingbento]

[filtered to the Convoy, shortly before their arrival in Licere]Good afternoon. I'm sorry for the late introduction-- my name is Kimihiro Watanuki, and I recently signed on as a cook on this ship. I've been acquainting myself with the kitchens for the past few days-- I'm sorry for having missed so many introductions

fffffff Watanuki

Hello. I'm Justin Walker. I deal with the ship's records, so let me know if you need any supply information or such.

Ah- thank you for the policy clarification. I will make sure to buy any snacks on my own from now on. Is using the kitchen for making tea or coffee during the off hours acceptable if I bring my own supplies?

it's very important okay :<

[flailingbento]

It's a pleasure to meet you. If you have a recent inventory, I'd be very grateful if I could see it sometime-- the sooner I understand how this kitchen is organized, the better.

And yes, hot water is always available.

At least Justin won't argue. Unlike everyone else, apparently. XD

[scaredbrilliant]

A pleasure to meet you as well.

The inventory's fairly recent. Feel free to come by the records room any time to take a look. I'm usually there.

That's good to know.

[Logically speaking, if Watanuki's main problem with between-meal snacking is that it makes it harder for him to tell how much people will eat at mealtimes, he should take issue with people buying their own snacks too, but Justin isn't going to point that out... >.> ]

[flailingbento]

Thank you very much!

I hope buying your own things isn't too much of an inconvenience. I hope this only has to be a temporary measure-- I have yet to find a system that keeps people from taking whatever they want whenever they want it, though.

[W-well, it's more about knowing exactly how much of everything he has at every single moment-- even if the crew doesn't finish all of a meal, at least he knows how much went into making it, and their waste is another issue entirely. NOODLE IS JUST A CONTROL FREAK.]

[scaredbrilliant]

No, it's fine. There's a reason we get wages in addition to room and board - we can't reasonably expect the ship to provide everything for free.

Though leaving some cookies out in the dining room for those who absolutely can't help themselves might prevent worse inventory problems.

[I see! Fair enough. XDD]

[flailingbento]

Hm. I'll look into it. Thank you for the suggestion-- I hope to see you soon.
