lol heads up if you try to make a candle w food coloring, the food coloring will just sink to the bottom of the glass, and when the flame eventually reaches the bottom all the food coloring will catch fire and become one giant tall flame that you cannot possibly blow out and the glass will start to crack and then you’ll throw your tea on it in a panic and then the extremely hot food coloring will boil and sizzle horribly and then the glass will shatter. please take my word on this lmfao.

you can make a candle out of food?

[Wait...]

why would you make a candle out of food?

[Hold on...]

can you teach me how to make such candles as well?

[escardos]

enkidu!!!!! its so nice to hear from you again!!! how are you w/ your king friend?!

also, food coloring is kinda like food? but not an Actual food. you can use it to give food pretty colors!

and its flammable, apparently. who knew!?

un: enkidu

[enkidoh]

it is nice to hear from you as well. you mean gil? considering the circumstances we are doing well.

[Ah, that is what Flat meant. It still makes no sense but allow Enkidu to understand it.]

why would humans want to give food another color? is cake worth more when it is blue instead of the color of a cake?

but if it is meant to color food why did you want to make a candle out of it?

[Why did humans invent such a thing to begin with. It seems rather useless.]

still, i do want to make a food candle.

[escardos]

hm

i dont think its more valuable? but you can make pretty designs with the food coloring. and the same thing goes for the candles! its not exactly more optimal in any way, but isnt it nice to just look at something pretty sometimes? oh, then if thats the case, then it does have some more value! because it’s not only a regular wax candle, but now it’s a wax candle with a pretty color!

we can make food candles if thats what you want! i have some extra materials i can bring over to your place. mine smells like smoke.

flat.

do i need to warn you again?

[escardos]

hOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT A CANDLE WAS GOING TO DO THAT???????????????????????

[curruid_coinchenn]

food coloring isn't meant to be burned, is it? you don't think about anything before you just do it.

[escardos]

thats so harsh

:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

aND LOOK PEOPLE DO USE GEL BASED FOOD COLORING IN CANDLES ALL THE TIME. I JUST MADE A SMALL MISTAKE IN MY CALCULATION. I CAN TRY AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

[enkidoh]

i do not care for things being pretty. but i do want to learn. gil cares a bit more for pretty things. perhaps you can teach me how to make a pretty candle for him. and make it edible as well.

did you open the window to let the smoke out?

yes. we can use our kitchen. i believe there is some bread left.

[curruid_coinchenn]

do i have to come over there and stop you from burning your apartment down? or maybe i should just let you to teach you a lesson.

[escardos]

i would like it if you came over actually! oh but i would need to clean up, wouldn’t i? theres still glass everywhere and itd be bad if you got hurt. i’ll clean up!

[foundfamilies]

[ don’t think about a tall flame hot enough to shatter the glass it is in don’t think about a tall flame hot enough to shatter the glass it is in. leslie is probably not going to be using food colouring anytime soon. ]

Are you okay? Did you avoid the glass shards? Were you able to put it out safely? Do you need to see a priest?

I mean to say see a witch with healing magic?

[sealeted]

I’m still learning my way around kitchens and crafts, but aren’t you supposed to smother oil fires with lids or sand instead of dousing them in water?

POOR LESLIE SUFFERS SO MUCH

[escardos]

the fire is out!

theres glass everywhere but i’ll clean it eventually!

i think im fine? oh god i hope i didnt lose my eyebrows.

[escardos]

oh


youre right.

well. at least its out?????

[sealeted]

Maybe keep basic chemistry safety in mind in the future, even for fancy little crafts?

What color was the candle supposed to be?

[gilgamess]

This is why division of labor necessarily exists in a city-state. If you lack a capacity, you purchase from someone who possesses the requisite abilities.

Tch, were my vault here, I should have innumerable candles, enough that I would even spare one for so lowly and hapless a being as yourself. Call it a rare act of royal pity.

un: zero

[monotonality]

why in the hell would you use food coloring in the first place?

Mister King!

[ flat lights up a little at the sight of him. he’s so so majestic. says the weirdest stuff—almost as weird as his own. ]

Thank you so much for your pity and insults, but I don’t need it! This was an experiment! It’s always much more fun to make things instead of buying them, because I get to personalize it to my taste. Next time, I absolutely won’t fail!

[escardos]

ugh my professor would have my head if he saw that i forgot such a basic thing....

actually waver might just do it too! ;__;

green.

[escardos]

to make it pretty?!

[sealeted]

Well, no use crying over exploded and extinguished candles. Just... maybe go through a checklist of ingredient traits before you ignite anything next time.

Oh, that sounds pretty. Have you figured out a replacement for coloring yet?

[gilgamess]

Oh? Alchemy, is it?

[ it is a class of magic here, so why not.

also, lies, Gilgamesh is completely down to Earth. just wait. ]

Had you thought to create a Philosopher's Stone with this so-called candle of food coloring? That would seem the eventual ambition in such a craft. Otherwise I do not see why you should want to put edible dye into your candle. When I establish my kingdom more properly, I shall see to it that you are assigned someone to oversee your endeavors. Then you may use that so-called food coloring in the service of my feasts to add great beauty.

Wouldn't you be honored by such a noble job, mongrel?

[monotonality]

isn't it called "food" coloring for a reason?
