[intwained]

[ the video opens with a man sitting at a desk. he paints quite an odd picture - looks to be in his mid-thirties, with long dark hair, wearing a black vest with a white shirt under it, rolled up to his elbows. odd tattoos cover his arms and move up the front of his neck as well.

he clears his throat, and a deep voice speaks. ]

Good evening. For those of you who don't know me, my name is V.

I'm looking for people interested in a wine and arts night. Specifically, right now I'm seeking those willing to work as instructors for painting, drawing, and other such mediums, for a modest group of people. I can provide the supplies for such hosting, as well as the space. I'm even prepared to provide monetary pay if that's a sticking point for performing the instructing.

I'm also seeking people willing to pose as models, once I've secured the instructors. And of course, knowing what kind of interest people would have in attending such a thing.

[ he reaches a hand up to brush his hair back. it's starting to get long; someone should tell him about hair bands. ]

I'm looking to host this at least once a month. We seem to lack an entry level experience for the art forms here, and I'd like to change that. And I don't think most people would turn up a chance for some good wine.

[ he smirks a bit. ]

You can respond to this post or contact me privately. [ he provides his contact information. ]

[ Ah she called him her...friend. How does he even respond to that?! He doesn't have many friends back home so it's weird to hear someone he's only just met calling him that!! ]

Thank you. I...really appreciate all you've done for me already.

And I would like that. He looks so cute and small it's amazing how big they can get! [ Shigeru loves dogs!! They're so cute but...also messy which is why he's never had one. But he doesn't mind watching them from afar. Maybe one day he'll actually be able to pet and play with one...maybe. ]

Italian...oh. I've heard of that. That's something from Earth, right? I could make something like that if you think people will like it!

( Well, he is! They've only met a couple of times, perhaps, but he trusted her enough to come to her with his struggles, so why shouldn't they be? That seemed the more pertinent question. )

You're absolutely welcome. 😌💕
I'll let you know when he gets a bath, then, and you can see if you feel up for it while he's nice and clean. You should see his paws!

As for the Italian food, you don't need to cater to the one household member you're not like to see, haha. He isn't particularly artsy, but we may be surprised! But yes, Italian food is one of Earth's country's cuisines. Italy had a specialty and climate perfect for tomatoes and onions and garlic, and plenty of farming. Most red sauces and pasta dishes are common there, with spiced pork or other types of sausages and salamis. I've been meaning to learn. Do you know how to make dishes like those?

[ Shigeru is bad with people so he never really knows if the friendship is real or not. Probably because he was prone to being bullied his entire life too /sweats ]

He sounds so cute! (´∀｀)♡ [ Shigeru stop, Shigeru please?! ]

I see. It sounds like a wonderful place. I wish I could see it! But I've been trying different cuisines here, so I have a pretty good idea on how to cook most things. My memory is...really good so I can just memorize the recipes right off the bat. [ It saves a lot of time tbh. Thanks eidetic memory. ]

Would you like to learn how to cook something?

( That's ok she's here to be a steady and open presence for him to learn with. 😔 babey son... )

He is unbearably cute; you'll see. And Italy's quite beautiful, but most of Europe is, really. It's very dated and rich, culturally-speaking. Europe is where most of civilization developed the quickest with the largest populations.

That sounds quite amazing, though! I never really had the time or ability to cook for myself, so I suppose it's a bit silly I'm only just now trying to learn, but... There isn't much else to do here, and I've had some wonderful teachers.

( Nevermind that one of them is a tiger and the other one is essentially a blind and incredibly deadly swordsman... )

If it wouldn't be too much of a bother to put up with my bumbling about the kitchen, I would love to learn about red or cream sauces, if you happen to know of any! I'm not very good at seasoning things. If I had exact measurements in recipes it would be one thing, but they always seem to require a degree of personalization.

( The Scientist has no idea how to "season to taste". Help. She's from a country that is very... homemade with recipes passed down instead of written out, and she didn't have anyone to pass things down to her. She essentially just exists off the goodwill of others and the ability to order delivery. )

I'll have to see if there are any books in the library about it. [ Not that he...will bring them home but he can read them there at least. ]

I only really know how because...I can't really eat from restaurants, not yet at least. I usually make all my own food so I had to really get good at cooking. [ But he also enjoys cooking so it's not a big deal to him. ]

I wouldn't mind at all! I think I can help with that! Sauces aren't too hard to make at least.

[cadeuces]

I'll see if I can find any, as well. If not, perhaps I'll try for a selection of books on the different countries and recipes from my when, if you're interested. With those orbs this place has.

And that makes perfect sense; I always wish I had learned at an earlier point in my life, but I never quite had the luxury of time for something so self-indulgent. I hope if there is anything I want to share with you that you've yet to try, I can find a good way to make it and pass it along! There are few joys in life as wonderful as a good meal shared.

Just let me know when you have the time and where you would like to meet. Your place or mine. 😌
