Is anyone else kind of pissed about the fact that pizza doesn't really seem to be a thing that exists in this city? Not to be overly dramatic or anything, it's just that after that shared nightmare from last week, some greasy takeout would have really hit the spot for stress eating.

I'd consider taking a crack at making my own, but if at any point I ever knew the recipes for the dough and sauce and shit, pretty sure I forgot them whenever I got hit with the amnesia stick.

What I miss is some good kushikatsu.

There's gotta be a good way to recreate it with magic. Although I got no idea whether putting magic food in your mouth's good for ya in the long run.

[showsnopiety]

It's mostly a matter of finding the right things and what you can substitute for one thing or another.

Though....

[She sighed.]

We'd have to build a brick oven to truly make the best pizza. Some things really take time.

[topslug]

Amnesia? I didn’t think you hit the water in the well that hard...

[loadme]

I don't know how to make pizza, but I understand how you feel.

Eating junk food after a long day... it feels really good, I think.

[juzubeads]

I guess I'm just used to Japanese dishes. But you're right that the food here is different. Making your own from scratch is an option at least, maybe if you can find the ingredients you need. Dough can't be that hard though? I mean, assuming they have the ingredients to make bread around here. Some tomatoes and cheese and whatever else you want on the pizza.

Pretty sure take out is not an option here, as convenient as it is back home.

[despised]

Describe pizza to me.

This isn't the first time I've heard of it. Is it that good?

[psychotronics]

And now you've given me an excellent reason to learn more about conjuration magic. Although you have a good point about the potential side effects... I'll have to look into that.

[psychotronics]

[ She snorts, sounding highly amused. ]

A brick oven? Yeah, uh, I'm getting the sense that you might have a more refined palate than I do.

[psychotronics]

I didn't. It's a pre-well, pre-mirror condition.

[psychotronics]

I feel like I remember mainly eating it because I didn't have the time to eat anything else, but. It sure does get addictive after a while.

[showsnopiety]

I wouldn't say refined.

It's just how it's made where I'm from.

[psychotronics]

Hah. It probably could be an option. It'd just take someone with enough grit and some entrepreneurial spirit.

[ From the lazy way she says it, it doesn't sound like she considers herself to fit that bill. ]

[psychotronics]

I don't want to oversell it, but yeah. It's pretty damn good. There's a lot of different varieties but the basic idea is a flat bread crust topped with tomato sauce and cheese, and then you put whatever toppings you want on it. Pepperoni's a pretty common one.

[psychotronics]

Oh. Sorry... Brick ovens have kind of fallen in to obsolescence where I'm from.

[showsnopiety]

It's fine, it's only for flavoring.

Everyone just uses gas ovens?

[psychotronics]

Gas, electric, microwave... Mostly the last two, typically.

[ She's trying to remember what kind of stoves they had on Talos. In the brief time she spent in the galley, the types of appliances present were just about her last concern. ]

[despised]

Hm... What toppings do you recommend? I've seen those ingredients around, but I haven't used them myself, so I don't know what goes well with them.

[psychotronics]

Can't go wrong with the pepperoni, like I said. Pineapple and ham are a good bet too, though I think it might be kind of hard to find pineapple around here.

[showsnopiety]

I see...

I've seen them, used them before but-I suppose for pizza I'm far more...

picky I think is the word?

[loadme]

It's not very good for you, either. Then again, that's why they call it "junk food" to begin with. Or is it more along the lines of "comfort food?"

[despised]

What about eggs? Or peppers and onions.

[psychotronics]

A more refined palate.

[ She echoes her first point, sounding incredibly amused. ]

[psychotronics]

I don't think comfort food and junk food are mutually exclusive ideas but, that point aside: At least you can put vegetables on pizza?

[psychotronics]

Peppers and onions, yes. Eggs...

[ She hesitates, mulling it over for a moment. ]

...Eggs'd be unconventional, but I can't think of any reason why you couldn't...

[showsnopiety]

[She made a rude sound.]

I'm not a pizza snob. It just sounds like I'm a pizza snob.
