[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?

[He's not going to say no to free food, ever. But first there is someone he recognises, looking a little worse for wear]

Irisviel-san? Are you alright? [Akito hasn't noticed the notes on the plates nearby yet]

Akito-kun...

[ she says weakly as she takes another sip. ]

Did you eat anything yet?
sky_sharkling: (Explaining)

[personal profile] sky_sharkling 2016-06-10 10:00 am (UTC)(link)
No, I haven't. I don't usually like spicy food, but I thought I might as well try since I usually eat the same kind of thing all the time at home.

Umm...

[ Irisviel hesitates. Where to start on this whole mess that was Caren Ortensia's cooking? ]

They are very spicy, Akito-kun. So please be careful if you're not used to spicy food at all.

Ah...I see. [Well that might be a problem, huh]

...wait have you been...trying them all to label them? [He's just noticed the sticky-notes around. That's kind of amazingly brave, no wonder Irisviel looks unwell if it's as spicy as the notes suggest]

[ She nods gently. ]

Yes. I was unfortunate and started at the spiciest, apparently. But fear not, if I help someone then... it's worth it.

...you are brave, Irisviel-san. I don't think I know anyone else who could do that. Are you sure you're alright?

[personal profile] soulshift 2016-06-13 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Irisviel nods. Some of the worry that had previously settled on her face has left. ]

I'm fine. Why don't you have something to eat, Akito-kun? I promise there is one you can eat.
sky_sharkling: (Thoughtful)

[personal profile] sky_sharkling 2016-06-16 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Alright, but if you need anything let me know? [Irisviel has been super helpful to everyone with the notes after all, it's only fair to help her in return if she needs it]

I'll try one of the lighter ones, it definitely smells good. [Hunts for one with the appropriate note attached]
