[The video starts with Cyrus just trying to get herself in the frame so she can be seen, but it eventually settles. There’s a proud smile on her face as her fox ears perk up and her tail can be seen swishing happily behind her.

Okay, proud moment over as she starts speaking.]

Hey, so I have a major request to ask. Can someone teach me how to cook some easy but decent meals? I mean, I learned about frozen dinners and they’re great, but they also deplete my Chroma buying them just as fast as, well, being like this. [She motions to her fox ears, allowing them to twitch a bit.]

Right now, I can make a decent salad! Everything else just tastes bland. I follow the recipes, but it just doesn’t turn out any better than ‘I guess it’s edible’. Anyway, I’d super appreciate someone helping me. I can repay with moonlacing, I guess, since right now my Chroma balance is fluctuating being like this.

Thanks!

[Hey, it's good to confirm people can boil water!]

Then a pot it is!

As for what I like to eat, most anything as long as it's not weird. Like bugs or animal organs-- stuff like that I won't eat for sure.

[hunksmash]

Cool. You're an easy customer, then.

We'll start on congee and fried eggs, maybe... Or maybe pancakes. I've been doing a lot of pancakes lately.

[acquittals]

Con...gee?

[Now that's something she's never heard of before and it makes her pretty curious.]

I don't know what that is, but I already want to try it!

[Cyrus...]

[hunksmash]

It's rice porridge! [ He is very enthusiastic, and he's happy to share it! ] It's really easy! And it's amazing! I mean, it's kinda' plain, but it's filling and it's got a nice texture, and you can add a bunch of stuff to it to customize it at will. And you can make huge batches. And it keeps pretty well!

It's all-around a good, good dish!

[acquittals]

Whatever it is, it sounds delicious and very customizable. Maybe it's something I really should start with if it's that simple.

[And huge batches? She's totally sold on this, the hungry girl she is. Granted, she fears she might mess up a batch, but on the other hand if she learns how to cook well, this could be great.]

I'm totally in!

[hunksmash]

Awesome! [ He's so! Happy!! To help!! ]

Where do you wanna meet up? Or do you just want me to shoot you a recipe and hope for the best?

[acquittals]

We can meet up at my place or your place! Or if there's somewhere else you'd rather meet, that's totally fine, too. But I would prefer that you teach me because even if you send me a recipe, I'm bound to mess it up.

[There's a nervous laugh from her.]

I think I'm just a visual learner, is all.

[hunksmash]

If it works for you, maybe your place? It might be good to know what tools you're working with before we get into it.

I can bring groceries, though. I can probably handle rice and stock and eggs.

[acquittals]

Yes, my place would be best. After all, I wouldn't want to mess up your supplies and you're being generous enough to bring food over.

[Given she's known to mess up things, some will probably go to waste, she imagines.]

Shall I send you my address?

[hunksmash]

Sure.

Do you wanna do this ASAP? Or is there a queue now?

[acquittals]

Would tomorrow work for you? I have a few people coming over tonight that it will probably be better if I clear the day tomorrow for you to come teach!

[hunksmash]

I can do that. I don't have a whole lot going on around here, so... Yeah. Whatever works.

Tomorrow, then.

[acquittals]

Sounds perfect. I'll have all my pots and pans out so we can get started!

[No, she seriously means that because she doesn't know which ones to use...]

[hunksmash]

Just one's fine. Just a good-sized pot, bit enough to hold however much porridge you think you can eat.

Oh! Also... I'm Hunk.
