Who doesn't like the smell of curry? You should do that! I can help, if you need a hand, too. Making drinks doesn't take a lot of time, after all!

[Time to head down to the kitchen?? TIME TO HEAD DOWN TO THE KITCHEN.]

[applechemist]

[ To the kitchen!! ... A PC in which we are actively nudging past people. Cries @ the setting on this game. ]

Even good smells can be really overwhelming... But curry is probably best. It's simple and doesn't need anything fancy.

[givethemhell]

[IT'S FINE IT'S FINE THEY'LL JUST TALK REAL QUIET.]

It's a good comfort too, I think. Everyone likes warm and hearty foods when they're dealing with stress, wouldn't you say?

[Goodbye bar see you soon... He'll glance toward it on their way down just to see how many people are milling about.]

[applechemist]

Oh, I know. How about I walk you through it while I make it?

Maybe that will impress Taako, later.

[givethemhell]

That would be wonderful! Though I don't know exactly how impressed Taako would be, hah.

[Sometimes you're just a tough critic!! At least he's ready to Never Be Able To Impress Taako.

He'll nyoom to the pantry once they get to the kitchen though, standing nearby.]

[applechemist]

[ I am way too lazy to actually write out instructions and ingredients, but Escha asks him to grab her a couple of things, and mostly is just making sure he can see what she's doing clearly as she cooks. Don't judge me. ]

Well, it is just step one. You can learn the recipe and see how it's done, then some other time you can help me make it. After that you can try making it yourself. You just have to work up to it...!

[givethemhell]

[this is my favorite style of how-to threads and also fight threads so no judging here you're golden]

He wasn't even very outwardly impressed with my making the recipe he taught me himself, you know.

[IN HIS TAAKO WAY.]

[applechemist]

Really? Well that doesn't seem fair!

[givethemhell]

Right? That's what I thought! Isn't it too sad?

[He doesn't actually care but he's HAMMING IT UP ANYWAY.]

All of my efforts for nothing...

[applechemist]

[ She laughs, because either he's playing it up, and that's funny... Or he's serious. Which would also be funny. ]

I guess it just goes to show that self improvement should be for your own sake, not for the approval of others!

[givethemhell]

[Bless Escha for finding him entertaining either way.]

You have a way of cheering everyone up, don't you? What a wonderful thing! I feel better already - you've soothed my broken heart.

[applechemist]

[ She laughs again, this time because she's pretty certain he's joking. She doesn't really think she's anything special and to be honest is weirded out when people make comments like that. She doesn't know how to take them!! ]

Yep. I'm a professional cheerer-upper.

[givethemhell]

[THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE A PROFESSIONAL CHEERER-UPPER.]

You should start charging for it. It would be a pretty lucrative business around these parts, I think!

[applechemist]

[ The word you are looking for is "therapist." That said, Escha has never heard of a therapist.

She doesn't think she could ACTUALLY cheer up that many people, so. Time to deflect with a joke. ]

I don't think everyone here would appreciate my talents.

[givethemhell]

[Neither has Wei Wuxian, wow. This is terrible.]

Do you think? They'd certainly appreciate your curries, at least. That's a start!

[applechemist]

Weeeell... It's true that I didn't get any complaints about my cooking on the ship... Hehe.

[ Even if it was all apple-themed. Speaking of which she. Definitely is putting apples into this curry. It's an apple-chicken curry! ]

[givethemhell]

[Apple chicken sausages are very popular so that's fair, honestly. He's definitely peering curiously as she adds the apples, though...]

You really do like apples, don't you?

[applechemist]

Yep! I grew up on an orchard, so apples are like a local specialty.

[givethemhell]

Ah! I see, I see. We had specialties like that where I came from, too. Lotus and loquat, especially! Have you had either?

[applechemist]

I'm not familiar with loquat... But I've used lotuses in alchemy fairly often. They're so useful...! I would love to visit a place that specializes in them, someday.

[givethemhell]

You should come visit Lotus Pier someday, then! [Just don't tell anyone "oh yeah I know Wei Wuxian", that would end very badly, he thinks and does not say.]

There are lotuses as far out as you can see in every direction when they're in season. It's a sight nowhere else in the world can call claim to! ...Our world, at least.

[applechemist]

Wow... I can't even picture that many lotuses. And I can't imagine what sort of traits they would have!

[ She can, actually. She's like... Swooning over this whole line of thought. ]

I wonder if they would have the same effect as lotuses from my world. Oh, I would just love to play with the ingredients from other worlds!

[givethemhell]

[Can't believe he came here to ask Escha serious questions about demons but now he's distracted talking about lotuses. He leans over, curious.]

What effect do lotuses in your world have? They don't have any particularly interesting properties on their own in mine - that I know of, anyway.

[applechemist]

[ Escha loves!!! Talking about alchemy!!! But I'm too lazy to open my game and check those item traits so pretend this is accurate if it's not. ]

Primarily healing traits and effectiveness enhancements! So they're very useful for making medicines.

[givethemhell]

[Meanwhile he loves learning about the SCIENCE and MAGIC and MAGIC SCIENCE in other people's worlds, so he's listening to her raptly and definitely paying more attention to that than her cooking.]

Oh, I see! Goodness! They really would be incredibly useful, in that case. And most parts of them are so tasty, too - it's win-win, yes?
