[Text] The Hardest Part is Cleaning Up Afterwards

[strawberryredgrave]

Glad that's all over. I really didn't need another reason to hate Mondays, but there it is.

So it's time for me to come clean: I didn't spend all my money on potions and chemist stuff. On the off chance this was the time we took care of team Ramaamut, I took the liberty of marinating and slow cooking a few summer favorites, including the shawarma. We're gonna have us a well earned vacation, boys and girls! But we could do better than the restaurant, right? I think so. Instead, we're booking the hot springs in Myste Aura, get ourselves a nice, early take of summer. Sound good? Sounds good.


Also completely unrelated, but Bass is insisting I tell everyone the mortgage I took on Dante Must Fry a few days ago. Pretty worthwhile investment, right? No one died, except for when Phoenix gave us a mulligan. Turns out this zora's not gonna be the only thing red here in the restaurant!

Bass really didn't like that joke.

So in case anyone knows about a little freelance work somewhere, I'd appreciate a point in the right direction.

How are you gonna get that them on our side by doing THAT to them?! Are you hoping they'll be too scared to fight us when they hear about it?!

[strawberryredgrave]

Not them! Their moves. You know: a cactuar's thousand needles, a malboro's bad breath, a wyvern's white wind...things like that.

[mech_and_mutt]

Well of COURSE you'd get bad breath from eating a malboro. I don't wanna know how something like that tastes.

...What monster IS the tastiest? Do they teach you that?

[strawberryredgrave]

Depends on your tastes. I'm a fan of Ochu myself; I like using them in shawarma since they got this nice earthy taste to 'em. Kinda like steak and mushrooms, but without the mushrooms.

Merrow's my go-to for seafood. Nice all-around hunk of fish. Little secret, though? Elementals make for great seasoning.

WHO DECIDED IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO EAT AN OCHU??

[strawberryredgrave]

Answering questions like that is why historians exist.

My best guess is how history is usually made:

It was a good idea at the time.

[mech_and_mutt]

I'm almost afraid to ask but

What happens if you eat a bomb?

[strawberryredgrave]

You learn to explode.

Not something anyone recommends.

[mech_and_mutt]

I don't know what I was expecting, but somehow I don't think that was it.

What about a skeleton? Guessing you cook the marrow?

[strawberryredgrave]

Oh, for the bombs, that's if you eat 'em outright. Cooking them? Adds some spice. You can add a pop rocks effect if you know how to handle 'em, but that's not used for much.

Skeletons can make a good broth, gotta say. Eating 'em outright? Think it was something about draining someone's magic. I don't remember.

[mech_and_mutt]

I guess I forgot not everyone just goes for the bones raw.

You should try them sometime, though. They're good for your teeth!

[Or something. Either way it looks macho.]
