002 » VIDEO; un: Persephone

[ragingnature]

[ The video opens up to a mostly blurry pink screen. After a moment things come into focus to show the face of a young woman with pink skin and hair. ]

Um, I think I've done this right. [ She frowns, brow furrowing a bit before noticing it's she's recording properly. She smiles as she settles back from the camera. ]

So I was thinking of offering cooking and or baking lessons to those that would like them. I'm vegetarian so I can only teach you how to prepare those kinds of meals.

I'm not really looking for anything in return, though if you don't mind a little hand-holding or cuddling I would appreciate it. I also ask if there's anything, in particular, you want to make that you provide the ingredients yourself.

[ She purses her lips, thinking for a moment before nodding to herself. ]

That was all. Please let me know if you're interested.

[ It takes her a moment to end the feed. ]

Vegetarian means I don't eat meat but I do eat foods made from animal byproducts such as cheese and honey.

[terribletwos]

you don't like the taste/

[ragingnature]

It's not that [ though it might be partially that ] I grew up somewhere where it was simply easier to make meals from vegetables than it was anything else.

[terribletwos]

a really green place, huh/

i'd like to learn how to cook. i haven't been able to get the hang of it on my own yet.

[ragingnature]

Yup.

Then I'll be glad to teach you. We can start with the basics and some easy recipes.

[terribletwos]

great. thanks.

where are you teaching/

[ragingnature]

I thought it'd be easiest to do it in my apartment, so long as you don't mind there being a lot of plants everywhere. Otherwise, I could come to your place to do the lessons.

[terribletwos]

you must really like plants. i can do either.

[ragingnature]

I do but it's mostly because I'm the Goddess of Spring and sometimes plants just spontaneously grow around me.

[terribletwos]

goddess of spring/ what's that mean/

[ Someone has no idea what a season is, aside from summer. The most important season of them all, cleary. He does at least know what a goddess is, thanks to some helpful Moonblessed. ]

[ragingnature]

Which part? [ How hard is this going to be to explain? ]

[terribletwos]

what does it mean to be a goddess of spring/

[ragingnature]

Um. [ Her mouth twists as she hums thoughfully. ]

Do you know what a god or goddess is?

[terribletwos]

yeah. someone explained it to me the other day. a powerful person people ask for help from.

[ragingnature]

[ That's a relief. Some of her apprehension about having to do a lot of explaining fades. ]

That's a pretty good explanation, but there's a bit more to it. In some worlds, a single deity might hold domain over an element, season, or aspect of mortal life. In my case, I hold domain over Spring which is when a lot of plants begin to grow again after Winter.

[terribletwos]

you can still do that here/ even though the world is different/

[ragingnature]

Well, I don't make Spring happen, not in this world anyway. But as long as I have the Chroma I can still make flowers and other plants grow.

[terribletwos]

that's a really cool ability.

[ And oddly close to Marluxia's... Though he mostly did things with vines and roses. ]

[ragingnature]

It is pretty neat, yeah. But that's why my apartment is covered in plants.

[terribletwos]

i don't mind. it will be like cooking in the groves.

[ragingnature]

Then we just need a date for this. I'm unable to give lessons while Sanguis is in effect, but any other day is fine for me.

[terribletwos]

i'm also sanguis so i know it's a bad idea to try to learn anything during that time. what about during cordis/

[ragingnature]

[ So many Sanguis! ]

That'll be great!

[terribletwos]

what do you think we should start with/

[ragingnature]

We'll start with how to prep the food and proper knife usage. As far as a recipe goes...maybe a stew. Stew is pretty easy.
