video; IT'S ABOUT FREE FOOD OKAY

[quickrecipeh]

Name: Ignis Scientia & Caren Ortensia
Date: June 16th, early afternoon
Format: Video

[Greetings fellow people who are stuck here! You've checked your watch, only to find a comedy of errors taking place as two people--well, a man and the top of someone's head--converse. There seems to be a disagreement.]

--do it. I've used this before once or twice, so I think I have a suitable handle on things.

[There’s a loud, exasperated sigh, and stray hairs float up lazily in the air. They’re slow in settling even as the smaller person speaks.]

Certainly. If you know what to do then-all you need to do is send out the information via text and we’ll be done, yes?

[There's a shifting of the image, and a thumb over it for a moment, then it's the other person--the woman--in full view for a split second, before there's a closeup of the man. More accurately, of his eyes behind his glasses. Then it resolves in focus to his entire face again.]

Right. I hope you don't object to doing this as a video feed, because it appears we've turned it on already.

Ah.

[There’s a pause, and the woman adds:]

If that’s the case-we need to adjust the camera.

[More shuffling, then the video wobbles (sorry for the motion sickness, everyone), and it's more or less two people there, at least from the man's chest up, and the woman's whole face is now visible.]

Shall we begin, then? We haven't much to say, and we're wasting everyone's time.

And we can only apologize for wasted time. In any case-we’ve decided to make this call because we have food stuffs in excess after some food experimentation.

[Is it a little sad that her head doesn’t even clear his collar bones? It might be. But hey, check out the view!]

As she said, Miss Ortensia and I are in need of some assistance. Both being connoisseurs of the culinary arts, we put our skills together to create some dishes for the festival with local flavor. However, in our haste to try various dishes, we've created many more than we can consume ourselves.

We do not ask for anything in return, but…if you would like to exchange for drinks, perhaps wine? I certainly would not be against the idea, especially if people wish to partake on site. Have we forgotten anything Mister Scientia?

I believe that covers it. If you'll be so kind as to give them the location, I'll give them a general idea of what we have to offer. A visual feast to precede the real one.

[And he picks up the device and turns it so people can see the… literal multiple tables covered in various food dishes. All of them look amazing. There's also Paris in the background, armed with bread, but blink and you'll miss him.]

We’re located in the Haven district, in the sub location of the larger housing. The address is…

[She rattles off an address which is basically says it’s the fifth fancy house claimed slash occupied by newcomers.]

We hope to see you soon. Happy...Litha? everyone.

Yes, have an… abundant holiday.

[And the feed ends after a little more wobbling of the camera.]

[ooc; A small log for this will go up later and will be edited into this footnote! Feel free to get ready to flamingle there! All are welcome!]

[Yeah, just Prompto laughing. That's all you get right now because that's all he needs to say.]

voice;

[quickrecipeh]

[He knows that laugh. It's very distinctive.]

Here I thought a bottomless pit would approve of this much free food.

voice;

[clickclickbang]

Too bad Gladio's not here for you to find out, huh?

voice;

[showsnopiety]

[She makes a quiet noise.]

I didn't realize you two were friends.

[She's not banning him yet. Ignis could do it. Maybe.]

voice;

[clickclickbang]

Yeah, he's one of my best friends.

[Voice]

[spaghettimonster]

Incredible! That's a culinary display for the ages.

But, uh, are you sure you only want drinks in trade...? You might trade too much food for too much drinks. And then where will you be??

[Voice]

[quickrecipeh]

You have an excellent point. If people bring drinks, they ought to leave with whatever remains.

[Voice]

[spaghettimonster]

Now that's a novel approach. Bring your own leftovers! Do you have enough plates for us to take things away?

[He'd have to do some shopping - with his limited funds - to get some wine. But spare plates he'd already been collecting, in anticipation of his own cooking days.]

voice;

[showsnopiety]

We certainly wouldn't be thirsty, that would be for certain.

[It's a quip! She's in a good mood because A) she's been cooking up a storm and B) the food is likely to be out of her kitchen soon. Most of it, she's hoping.]

But we don't necessary need anything. If you come by and eat anything, take anything with you-you would have our thanks.

voice

[spaghettimonster]

Well! I won't say no to free food.... Especially if cleaning it away helps you, too.

[He saw that kitchen, and that's food enough to last for weeks - or, it would be, if food from this world didn't spoil. No wonder they need the help.]

But I won't take your dinnerware, not when I have some of my own... If you think of anything that would be helpful after all, give me a ring!

voice

[vytal]

Man! It's like you guys just like giving free food out or something.

[ first mikleo, now this... ]

Not that I'm complaining, though. I'll be there.

voice

[showsnopiety]

If it makes you feel better, this was food experimentation....gotten a little carried away.

[They were having fun!]

But thank you in advance.

voice

[quickrecipeh]

This was quite unintentional. We'll be sure to welcome you, though.

[beariot]

That certainly is

a lot.

I really do wonder if I should.

text

[quickrecipeh]

All are welcome. There's no reason not to, and I can assure you it's all of the highest quality.

[showsnopiety]

Feel free to take some home as leftovers.

Or just a late night snack.

No one will know, and we won't judge.

voice; Archer

[boneofsword]

[Archer's voice carries genuine amusement.]

I see that you're having fun.

voice;

[showsnopiety]

[Maybe it's better that he's not getting a video reply, because her eyes widen briefly in shock. But when she speaks, her voice is level and steady. Not caught off guard, no sir.]

A little too much fun, as you can see. We hope at least other people can enjoy the fruits of our labor.

Will you be joining us?

voice; Archer

[quickrecipeh]

[Ignis is also genuinely amused.]

There's an excess of food and it's quite accidental. I haven't been able to get carried away like this in some time.

[bloodyuseless]

[Mary shoves two potentially familiar items into the camera's view: a bubble-blowing pipe and a deerstalker hat.]

I have a bubble pipe and a detective hat! How much can I get for those?

video;

[showsnopiety]

Keep them.

[quickrecipeh]

...we don't need anything in exchange, not to worry.

[topslug]

[ The initial feed is a rather wince-inducing clatter as Yako fumbles the watch and drops it when it's already on, and there's some awkward crazy angles before it focuses on her breathless and wide-eyed face, eyes seeming to glaze over at the sheer amount of free food on display. ]

I'llbethere.

[ Said so quickly it comes out with all the words running together. ]

video

[showsnopiety]

[...Welp.]

We look forward to seeing you.

Remember to bring your dishes to carry out leftovers.

[quickrecipeh]

[That's a... healthy attitude toward food...]

We'll save you... several portions.
