[ This is the first time he's really doing this shit on this mind-imposed social network, so bear with him. ]

I'm a shitty judge of timing, so maybe this isn't...a good time, but—

I've got this batch of Twinkies. If you've never seen one, it's a 4-inch traditional sponge cake with a cream filling. Vanilla only. They're as close to store-bought as you're gonna get in this place.

If you've got a hankering for processed junk from home, I'll be at the Nocwich square handing them out whenever the doors open again.

...

Okay, that's all, thank you.

(( ooc: threadjacking welcome; if you reply, you can assume your character got a twinkie. feel free to spontaneously make other food requests. ))

[emulsions]

I know how that is.

[ Little brother solidarity. ]

[emulsions]

A few weeks ago, a guest came into my restaurant and, he ordered a Twinkie.
Like, that was all he wanted.

I don't know, it got me thinking, maybe all that stuff you guys are homesick for...
I could make it.

[carmesi]

Yeah. It's not a big deal.
Good luck with the million requests you're getting.

[carmesi]

Just wondering: what's a chef's most important tool?
I figure you'd know the answer to that.

( asking for a friend. )

[emulsions]

Your knife.
Every chef has their own.

I'm sort of borrowing whatever's there at my station right now.

[thearchangel]

I can do that.

Just uh - do nonhumans exist where you're from?

[emulsions]

[ ... ]

I can pretend it's Halloween or something.

[thearchangel]

[Oh no.]

I... you'd have to have one hell of an imagination.

[aquaveiled]

Something unique...rosemary, mayhaps? Or lavender!

Wait, no, those would be good.

I know...sardine!

[carmesi]

( that makes sense. but, also— )

I guess I never stopped to think about it.
Are there no individual kitchens in Thorne?

[righteously]

Has anyone ever told you you have judgey energy?

[carmesi]

No, but I know people think it.
I'm asking because we have pies in Solvunn. They might be worth trying.

[righteously]

I take it back, your energy's flawless

[carmesi]

Figures.

( make it right, dean )

[righteously]

( There is a Very Long Pause, and then: )

Wow
That's
Wow

Okay
No, no, not uncomfortable, just
processing


Your version of Earth didn't just go off the damn rails, it practically plowed straight through the ground into a different freakin dimension

That is
That's a lot


So, uh...
How you holdin up??

[diametrically]

what would you need for it?

[tedandroses]

Chef? Do you all have restaurants over there?

That's fair, I can imagine not. I don't know anything about making pastry, so... Is this what you did back home? I mean, not Twinkies, per se.

[emulsions]

What? No, I'm—I work in the kitchen. At the castle.
Something like that. I was a cook, just...a different kind than I am now.

[ordinar]

Couldn't you technically make anything taste like a twinkie in the horizon if you wanted.

What about you? What are you homesick for?

[mathmetism]

thats confectionary black magic
youre a fucking wizard
i would like a pre-diabetes amount please
can you do those lil debbie cakes with the zebra stripes next?

[mathmetism]

travioli
i can't belive im hearing this second hand through carmy's food blog
you would produce sweet tree butterjuana and not even think to mention it to me, that dude who adopted that dog who got replaced by that knife-handed goo monster who smoothied your face
has our whirlwind bromance meant nothing to you??

[sunnygoose]

Er, yeah. Sorry.

[She'll give him his time! Not like she's doing much around here, anyway... and it's sort of nice to talk about home, even if home wasn't super great outside the vault.]

Now that you ask... besides losing my head, and not finding my dad, and the radiation poisoning, mild to moderate starvation, being kidnapped and sold for illegal organ harvesting, and getting stabbed the last time I tried to have enjoyable and productive sexual intercourse, I'm actually pretty okay! Solvunn's kind of nice in comparison.

2/2

[sunnygoose]

Sorry, I realize I'm unloading a little on you after a particularly stressful time in my life that I haven't fully come to terms with, and I didn't even introduce myself! Anyway, I'm Lucy, and I think your burger sounds very good. Buddy!

[emulsions]

Ice cream.
Blender.
Mostly the blender.

I can shake one up by hand, but you won't ever get the same
thickness or consistency.

[emulsions]

[ Shit. ]

Um
You know what, don't worry about it, alright?
I'll make it work.

[ The guy seems nice, Carmy's not gonna give him shit about how he looks. That feels like an asshole move. ]
