[He can't believe it has come to this but Plus Ultra has a lot of mouths to feed and not a lot of knowledge on the subject to go around.]

All right who here knows how to cook

CORRECTION  [Before he gets an influx of bragging.]

Who here can TEACH others how to cook?

[We can't all learn from magical French rats!]

I could probably teach someone the basics, at least.

[ It might be a good distraction from all the other things that have been going on, if nothing else. ]

[emberized]

Oh yeah?
Whaddiya know?

[He'll bite. Any bit of advice is good advice at this point.]

You're a riftfarer right?

[He doesn't think the locals have access to the same shellphone channels, anyway.]

Are they something you already knew or a skill you picked up while here.

[withermarked]

I'm a riftfarer, and I knew the basics and how to make healthy fare for cheap back home. It's all a little harder without my modern kitchen, I'll admit.

[ But he's managing alright. ]

[emberized]

Yeah they don't make things easy

[He probably WOULD still be eating more instant meals if they were more accessible.]

I never had much reason to learn
But no time like the present, am I right?

You got a favorite thing to make?

[withermarked]

I learned when I was pretty young, but that's right.

I like making curry, and it's usually a hit with everyone else. Easy to use whatever happens to be for cheap that day, too.

[emberized]

Oh we got curry down pat.
Not that it hurts to known different kinds I guess.

[Thanks to Beat though, it's the one thing they didn't go hungry with.]

Got anything that makes use of fish?

[As much as they lived off the sea, there were surprisingly few ways they knew how to prepare what came out of it.]

[withermarked]

I know a few ways to make seafood palatable, yes. Ate a lot of it back home, too.

[Though he didn't enjoy having kitchen duty at the Parish nearly as much as cooking other things when he felt like it. ]

[emberized]

Good
You'll know how it should taste!
Then let's go with that

All right
How do you wanna do this?

You got someplace to meet or
would you rather just talk through video sometime?

[withermarked]

Might be easier if I see what you've got to work with.

[emberized]

Eh don't you worry about that part
We had a cook before and their stuff was left behind
If there's something you think I need, I'll find a way to get it.

[Ingredients, tools and all. He is a Corsair, he knows how to acquire things-- even if he prefers to do it legally rather than compensating for borrowing it later. Gotta set a good example as Team Babysitter.]

I can use our kitchen but somewhere you're familiar with might be better.
If I have to find somewhere I will.

[Of course, if he's just following on video than it doesn't really matter which of them is broadcasting from where.]

You just tell me what you need for it
And I'll make it work

sorry for slow!

[withermarked]

In person seems a little simpler than trying to show everything I'm doing through here.

[ Possibly an odd combination: He's used to a more modern kitchen than anything here, but he's still not especially used to using the network. ]

My place is a little small for visitors, though.

[ And he's not that comfortable with ones he doesn't know well, but he doesn't say that. ]
