[4] Action/Video: D is for Domestic

[pricesandvaules]

Anyone wandering the orchard today might bump into a certain tall, dark mobster-alien, incongruously equipped with a wicker basket over one arm.
Droog is still nursing injuries from the last event--there are all manner of cracks and cuts and odd, heat-warped places on his carapace hidden beneath clothes and tidily wrapped bandaging, and we're not

SS: > Approach DIAMONDS DROOG picking fruit, question him.

[terrierfancy]

what are you doing

You're not used to seeing DIAMONDS DROOG picking fruit on a hot summer day. Not are you used to, well, fresh fruit in general considering you usually live in a city built on a desert post-apocalyptic planet.

[terrierfancy]

yeah sure

You aren't going to complain if you get DELICIOUS STEAK in your gut.

you know how i like it

[pricesandvaules]

Yeah, you and Boxcars.

Rare steaks. You know. At least it's simple.

I bet the closets will give me anise for it.

[terrierfancy]

anise
what the fuck is that
are you going to make my steak all fancy or something

[pricesandvaules]

It's a spice.

And a fucking rare one, too, on Alternia, but here...

It's supposed to taste like licorice.

[terrierfancy]

LICORICE...and STEAK?

...

...

...

im game just dont make it taste like shit
ill try it
not like you cant just cook me another one if it sucks

You hope it doesn't suck. That sounds like an amazing combination, seriously.

[pricesandvaules]

Yeah. You thought he'd go for that. And seriously, there's no way you can go wrong: considering who your associates are, steak is a thing you can do in your sleep.

Do I ever let you down?

[terrierfancy]

nah
youre usually pretty good
licorice meat huh
sounds a little crazy

You pause a moment.

though all the crazy ideas are the best ones

[pricesandvaules]

You would know.

But that's what you like about Slick.

[terrierfancy]

yeah
yeah i would

You can't fight a FRIGHTENING GRIN from crossing your face as you both head into the MANSION. You really hate MANSIONS. You really, really, do. However, you're getting to be in a pretty decent mood inside of this one most of the time. If you'd stop fucking getting hurt, anyway. And if that HUGE BITCH would just hurry up and leave.

Though everyone says there's no way to leave... well, you better find a way because you might actually KILL her. Or eat her face---no. Kill. Definitely kill. You'll never admit you want to eat her face in the most literal hate-snogging sense.

licorice steak better be good
two awesome things combined
but bloody licorice only sounds good sometimes

[pricesandvaules]

You let Slick talk, because he's always on about something, and keep walking.

Later, in the kitchen, you suggest that he sit at the table while you work, because it's always best to keep him out of the way when you're cooking.
You do, in fact, manage to produce some anise from the cupboards, and after some preliminary hesitation sacrifice one of your oranges for seasoning as well. Steak-cooking commences. This is going to work, you can tell.
