[ The following appears in a neat, practiced script that some may recognize as Himeka's handwriting. To the more magically inclined, it may faintly sparkle in places. ]

One of the things I've felt most fortunate about my time here is that I get the opportunity to meet so many people from so many different places. And I know I'm not alone in that!

Some of us has been here for a few summers while others only a moon or so, and it's not always easy when we have malms and mountains between us. But one of the best ways to understand where someone comes from is through what they like to eat. Right?

So, Alucard and I have a proposal! This could be the opportunity to create the first universe-wide cookbook. So if you have something to contribute from your world, whether it's your favorite dish, an old family recipe, or just something that you think is a staple to show off your culture's palette, let us know!

Here's an example:

Kaki Zōsui
World: Etheirys
Region: Ruby Sea
Town: Sui-no-Sato (adapted)

• 15 oysters
• 2 bowls of steamed rice
• 3.5 oz enoki mushrooms (halved)
• 2 green onions (chopped)
• 2 dodo eggs (optional)
• 1 sheet of nori (seaweed, thinly chopped)
• 4 cups dashi soup
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• dash salt

Wash the steamed rice and strain to remove the stickiness. Put dashi and soy sauce in a saucepan and bring to boil. Add enoki mushrooms.

When the dashi mixture boils, add rice and oysters, then cook for 5 minutes on low. (If you are using eggs, now is the time to beat them in a separate bowl.)

Add a dash of salt, (and beaten eggs), then green onion. Turn off the heat, cover, and let the soup stand for 3-4 minutes

Serve in a bowl with sprinkled nori!

And if you've got no clue about the specifics of your recipe, maybe just let us know what it's supposed to taste or look like? I'm sure Alucard and I can figure something out. Have you tried his hand pies? They will change your life!

[ OOC; So the purpose behind this IS to actually create a little cookbook for Abraxas! Like, both IC and OOC. I'd like to put together something graphically or on a separate page or in a journal just for funsies. Let us know if you have any questions! ]

It's a country.

I'm still not used to remembering that people are from different worlds as well as countries.

A country then! Switzerland on what star?

It's a little wild, isn't it? But in some ways, it gives us something nice about this. Even if we've been ripped from our lives and homes, we do get the opportunity to learn about places we may not have ever gotten to.

Earth.

I guess you're right. I liked travelling and trying different food, just never thought it'd be like this.

There are so many people from Earth here! I really hope I can visit someday.

It's like that but turned up several notches, isn't it? All the more reason to take the opportunity while we have it.

[pathologise]

If you can travel. You're only allowed to see part of the world here.

I have hopes that things may open up. Though it was due to an emergency, Summoned were allowed to visit Solvunn once. And we do have Nocwich now.

[pathologise]

How long ago was that?

[aquaveiled]

It was just barely a summer ago now, strange as it may seem. It feels like yesterday and much longer at the same time.
