[ Excuse the interruption to your lovely first day of December the twelfth month, but here is a very courteous man with a nice fantasy RPG British accent. ]

I wish to announce the development of a community kitchen which shall reside within Middle Lunatia. It should be fully prepared for use by the end of the month. I understand fellow residents have produced many varied food-related businesses, and I thought to offer something within a similar vein, but to better use of those who would like to improve their own culinary skills.

I'll be providing a future update on when the location is ready for public use. If you've any questions, please feel free to approach me at any time. My name is Ignis Scientia.

Of no relation to the Lunar Scientia, I can assure you. [ Purely coincidence. Kind of annoying sometimes. ]

I'd also like to send an offer to those who would happen to have a spare amount of time during this month. I've a few baking ventures I wish to partake in and would be appreciative of anyone who would offer a willing palate for taste-testing. I lack the use of my sight, however I shouldn't require too much assistance.

[This answer comes from what sounds like a teenage girl, slow and halting, voice still a little rough from sleep.]

Mmm... I have a lot of time, but I don't know how well I could help with the taste-testing. Maybe... I could hand you things?

[She's #helping.]

Otherwise, though... When you say we can improve our cooking skills in your kitchen... do we have to have any skills to start with?

[tayoru]

Do trust me, any amount of help is appreciative, regardless of how much tasting is done. I'm able to maneuver around my own kitchen well enough and have a general idea of where everything is located, but extra hands speed up the cooking process.

[ He still fumbles and drops things sometimes, it's just kind of natural. ]

My apologies however, as I didn't entail to mean the kitchen would be open solely to those who are already able to cook. Skill or lack there-of, you're welcome to its use, and if you cannot find a willing teacher for whatever you are curious in learning then I offer my services to assist you.

[goodgames]

...That's really kind of you to offer, Scientia-san. I think... you must be a gentle sort of person.

[People here are so nice.]

I don't wanna take up too much of your time, if you're gonna be busy with projects and stuff, so... is it okay if you explain to me what you're doing when I help you cook? 'Cause the way I am now, I don't even know where to start. Things that taste good, things that taste bad... I don't really know how to put them together.

[Cooking Mama would be so disappointed in her. :(]

[tayoru]

Thank you. And please, you're welcome to call me Ignis.

Do trust me in that I am never without spare time on my hands. The reason I decided to create this kitchen is to keep me out of my own apartment on a more regular basis. Being blind can be quite boring.

[ If he could see he'd be working himself to the bone. So it kind of has benefits?? ]

I can say now, for what little you know, trust nothing but your appetite. That is where your judgment begins. Measurements, ingredients, leave that to me. I was once in your position after all.

[ She's sweet, so he'll give her the confident mama pep talk and get her on the right start. But no excuses after!! ]

[goodgames]

Ah, Ignis-san, then.

[Or perhaps even Ignis-sensei, but now we're just going buck-wild with the honorifics. Calm your li'l Japanese self, Chiaki.]

I hear what you're saying, but... I might still cause problems. I mean, like... jellybeans are good, and I like bread, too. But when I tried to make a sandwich out of that, the result... was kind of awful.

[tayoru]

[ That's certainly a new one, but with the time he's spent in Lunatia and all the different cultures and languages abound, he understands that little honorific enough to let it slide.

Also please give him a moment to process the fact that she tried making a jelly bean sandwich. ]

[tayoru]

Yes, that... that would be as expected.

Please do not do such a thing again.

[goodgames]

See? It's not that easy for me.

[She told you, dawg! She warned you, bro!]

But that's why I want to get better at it. I rely on others for a lot of things... so if I can help myself do this, I'll feel one step closer to everyone's level. So even if the difficulty level's really high... I want to try.

[tayoru]

You have high ambitions, which is amendable, but it's always important to understand when an idea is better in theory than in practice.

I would say what you tried wasn't... terrible, in a manner of speaking. You attempted to combine two things you enjoy, which can be an excellent way of discovering new flavors. But you need to remember to keep practicality in mind.

[ He sounds like he's lecturing now. Yikes. ]

Do you understand?

[goodgames]

Practicality... umm...

[Prrrrrrrobably not.]

Does it have something to do with not eating the same things all the time? Or... not just eating sweets?
