[Open] The Mapo Tofu affair
Who: Everyone! If you can smell it, you can find it!
When: 6/8-610
Where: Hall of Glory Parlour in Caissa
What: Caren found out she can make mapo tofu and is sharing with everyone. Heaven help us all.
Rating: So far none but will change when things happen.
THe Halls of Glory smell a little different today. Instead of the usual fare that the others might know from the weekly menu, there's a different scent. Something that may remind heroes of Airy, Ma Jiang dishes, or maybe, more simply, of home.
This was the result of Caren's cooking and some hunting on her part. And the results may be quite appealing. There are pots of rice, still steaming, and various bowls filled with the result known as mapo tofu. Some of them are spicer then others, and she hasn't seen fit to label which are very spicy, and which are quite mild. The only thing she has labelled, with a rim of green around the bowls, are the vegan variations, for those who can't, or do not, eat meat or meat by products.
Consider it a game of spice roulette. Because there are other bowls as well, with crushed cucumber-hot pepper salad, spicy tofu, and something that has spewed spinach and garlicy noodles within. But hey! You may be able to cool off with one of the pots of tea around the place-or with one of the rare tubs of ice cream of various flavors, kept chilled with an icy spell.
The cutlery and bowls are disposable, and there are trashbags to clean up after yourself. She's not going to do it for you!
But hey. Who can say no to free food?

After all, she offered him something precious: her death. So in exchange she accepts all of what he is, without so much as a moment of judgement. Confusion, perhaps, but that was normal for her. She was experiencing that more and more as she spent time with more and more kindness.]
Setsuna...
[She looks at him for a moment. Just looks at him, before reaching out to press a hand where his heart should be beating under his clothes.]
That may be the day you need to kill me. My happiness is rooted in others peoples misery.
[She makes to drop her hand, and move away from him, to give him a moment and to check on the tofu. It's the truth. She doesn't know how to be happy like normal people. She's known that for a long time.
(That's why one day she may need to be stopped).]
no subject
[ That doesn't make any sense... First Caren tells him that she's happiest when seeing misery around her, but now she's telling him that she'll be happiest when she finally dies. When that side of her is stopped... But if she's so happy like that, why would she tell others about it? Why do she want them to stop her? Why is she so concerned with it, if she's really a terrible person...
Setsuna feels really confused, too. He doesn't get it... But this only makes him more determined than ever. No, he won't hesitate to kill her if that's really what's necessary. He's given his word and he will keep it. However, he won't resort to that if there's really a chance to save her. Even the smallest chance to do so. Because if she can still tell others to stop her, someone who is completely terrible wouldn't do such a thing... What is the point?
As someone who lacks a proper grasp of emotions himself, he's finding this very complicated. But he didn't want to give up. He'll do his best, because at this point he already considers her as a proper comrade. As she moves away from him, he watches her back side. It reminds him of his comrades from home... A situation similar to this. ]
I will still hope for it, either way. If you will not do it, then I will.
no subject
But people here are so hopeful. It's difficult to drag them down to their knees in such a fashion. And hoping for her to be saved...she didn't think it was possible. She was never meant to be saved.
It was better this way. But her own grasp of emotions were flimsy at best, something she observed but not experience fully for herself. It's something for someone else.]
If I'm enjoying the misery that I caused, I'll be making things worse. Who knows? I might have tortured you family and your friends. Just because I could. That's why that day, I need to die.
[She says it so calmly, detached from herself that it's as if it doesn't matter. But...well.]
You're allowed to hope. I won't stop you. But some things do stay true to their nature.
[A quick taste, and she scoops out his meal into the bowl he had out before. A sprinkling of green onions, and it's done.]
Here. It's done.
no subject
[ "Just because she could?" Is that a real reason? Is Caren's existence really that empty? She really has no other reason for it? Setsuna wants to know... He wants to understand what is it that made her this way. Even if not necessarily for her sake, but for others he will meet in the future. What if he meets another person like Caren? He's met people similar to her in the past, and yet... he was unable to save them. He doesn't want this to keep on repeating. If he could do something...
Though, Setsuna shortly realizes that he's questioning something very personal. He recalls his position, and how he's not important to her at all... He shouldn't be doing this. So he shortly shakes his head, then was about to turn away— ... But she shortly offers the finished meal to him, causing him to stop in place. He stares at it quietly, wondering how someone like Caren could still bother to feed others like this. He wonders if she's just doing it "just because," too...
What is the real Caren like... He stares at the delicious dish, and he shortly is unable to help himself. His expression twists into a lonely one, though he accepts the dish right after and attempts to distract himself by taking a huge bite. He lets the heat of the flavors occupy his mind, doing his best to forget. He shouldn't bother Caren... He had no right. ]
no subject
Even if she didn't mean to. Or did.
For a few moments she watches him, with her golden eyes heavy lidded. Then she turns away.]
That's not something to speak about in a kitchen.
Enjoy your meal Setsuna.
[And if he doesn't stop her, she's going to check on the parlor. She left some food out there too.]
