I have a need for a few volunteers. Though you won't need to be physically present.

[Ignis had given some consideration to leaving the house he'd previously occupied with (fluctuating levels of) companions, but has ultimately decided that the twelve feet of snake-tail he's now pulling along is far better suited to a larger home. Thus, he's speaking from the kitchen of a house some might recognise as having been the home of Prompto, or Steak and Red Wine, or even Caren Ortensia.

And he's planning to make good use of it.]

This world offers a good number of culinary challenges, and opportunities. If you have a moment, I'd like to hear about something that you're missing from your home - sweet, savoury, anything that comes to mind - and I'll need it described in as much detail as you can manage.

[He pauses for a moment, considering his next words.]

If I can, I'll do my best to replicate it for you. As closely as possible.

I'd call it a hobby for the moment, but who knows. I have been looking for something to occupy my time.

That sounds like an easy enough challenge.

[electrod]

if you can replicate favourite foods of the mirrorpals you'd have a guaranteed core customer base. then you can pay me for the idea : )

[claritatis]

I'll give it some consideration.

Did you have any favourite ingredients? Something particular?

[electrod]

yeeeeeah— ingredients. you probably know different ingredients than I do, we could as well speak different languages. but then, I ain't asking for a crispy chocobo nugget, or something equally niche.

aefenglom sits at sea, which means sea food's aplenty!! fish, shrimp, and other crawly-floating things might have different names here, but their taste is equally good. that's my favourite.

[claritatis]

I might have trouble finding chocobo here, I don't believe they're native.

But seafood is simple enough. I'm sure I can whip something up for you in no time.

[electrod]

wait

are you saying you know what a chocobo is?

[claritatis]

Large flightless birds, typically yellow, often used as mounts or fighting companions?

Yes, I know what they are.

[electrod]

yep, that's the ultimate BiRd. some people think they're cute and put their likeness as ads or toys

so hey where are you from?

[claritatis]

Insomnia, the capital city of the kingdom of Lucis. And yourself?

[electrod]

Midgar, the power base of Shinra Inc.

Gonna step ahead and say I haven't heard of either of yours, and I flew over significant size of the world

[claritatis]

I'm not familiar with Shinra Inc, or Midgar, and my education has been extensive.

How interesting. I wonder if there are other similarities.

[electrod]

Maybe... there are also times to be considered, no?

Shoot me with a concept that you think is widely known but also unique to your world, and we can see.

[claritatis]

[Hmm.]
