[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?

[EXACTLY, BACK TO AWESOME THINGS.]

Sewing certainly does. You can alter your uniforms, so if you want something more comfortable for your fighting style, it should help. [She's in casual now, but hers consist of shorts and boots instead of the skirt. Easier to move around in.] But should that not matter, then you can always make something for yourself! I can show you how, we can start off with something simple.

Well, I miss having full-length tights.

[She feels strangely naked without them, even after having to wear knee socks all over the Far Side.]

I'd like that very much. Thank you.
hoasen: (expectations)

Do not worry, those exist. Have you been shopping yet?

[They'll probably have to buy those, but it is better than socks available for them now, she believes.]

And you're very welcome, Hakuno.

No, I need to find a job, first.

[She feels restless without some sort of capital to her name. In the Moon Cell, there were enemies to defeat for that sort of thing, but here there are Real World Jobs to take on. She clenches her fist again.]

...I'm a little excited.
hoasen: (ever clear)

Ah yes, that is true! Let's see...you first need to head to the notice board, there are some nice and easy ones right now. You actually get paid to go to the festival and participate.

[If that's not a great incentive!!]
sealeted: (is the view)

[personal profile] sealeted 2016-06-12 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
In that case, I'll definitely check it out.

[She's ambivalent about water, given the Moon Cell had a lot of aquatic elements and her would-be final moments had been spent sinking, dissolving away little by little, but that's beside the point.]

It sounds like fun.
hoasen: (hope)

[MOON CELL, YOU FUCKING SUCK.]

Yes, the civilians are really into it right now. I went recently as well, that was rather exciting.

[You don't even know, Vietnam. You don't even know.]

I'll look forward to that, then!
