Important questions and a Plan

[otomechapilot]

So, I have an idea for dealing with one of the Glatisants, and a question.

First, the plan. Found out helping Shinji - that’s Mech Pilot Shinji, not Has A Persona Shinji - that my ANIMa, at least in Questing Country, is still just as tall as it needs to be to fight monsters. So I’m going to the future to try and talk down that one, and failing that, wrestling with it on our terms.

Second, I warned the Fool about the whole time spiral thing that Me From Questing Country and Adult Probably Oracle-of-Anchors Me told Present Me to warn the Arcana about, and wow, I hate Time Shenanigans.

He thanked me and told me he’d also warn ROSE, Mei, SAGE, and Shekinah. I asked which ones quote “Rider and Waite” unquote would say those are and he grinned and was like “Who and what? Eh, you like questions, figure it out.” I know who SAGE is and precisely zero of the others, so... who would Rider and Waite say they are?


(Psi Protection I, privated from Kanji and Kohaku)
Also what’s a cheesecake, how do you make it, and what’s the difference if any between a Japanese one and any other kinds? Asking because birthdays are happening and I got a request.

Comments

Still privated/Protected I assume, but she doesn't have Protection II. Yet.

Who do you take me for? I'm shaping ingredients and properly cooking it, of course.

well, Shinji also has Protection I, so I guess they're covered?

You wanna bake a cake you've never heard of before, from scratch, for people's birthdays.

Not sayin' you can't or shouldn't try, but I am saying it won't hurt anything to take the shortcut and have a backup.

[Shinji is not about to knock anyone trying to cook. He just figures not ruining the party is a good call here. That and he's sen what happens when new cooks get experimental.]

sweet

[otomechapilot]

...okay, that's fair. There's cakes and party food I can do, so, uh, show me how this time, I'll share mine, and I can experiment when it's not someone's birthday?

[fruitknife]

Thank fuck, someone more interested in not wastin' food than trying to do more than they can handle. Sounds good.

[otomechapilot]

Hahah, yeah, thanks for the warning. You make it, you eat it is the law of my quartermaster's realm for a reason.

You never make the same mistake twice, that's for sure.

[fruitknife]

God, I bet not. Seen people make shit Koro-chan wouldn't touch and act all proud about it. [The fact that Minako helped Fuuka get to 'reasonably decent and edible food' is impressive all on its own.]

[otomechapilot]

That's how you get banned from Merry's kitchen back home.

Why haven't we talked? ...Achaea, right.

[fruitknife]

Fuuka meant well, but... she was tryin' to be one of nature's cooks when she really fucking isn't. And I don't think she had any sense'f the waste involved. [Even Yukari was at least trying to make good use of her leftovers.]

Yeah, that'd do it. That jaunt was a shitshow.

[otomechapilot]

I promise I'm much less stabby as myself.

Let's find some time to share recipes when we're done with this. Make a cheesecake, I'll make a chocolate one, we split both and keep half.

[fruitknife]

And I'm not a pretentious asshole, so I think it evens out.

[Don't try to convince him Helios was wrong. That won't go well. But he was definitely a jerk.]

Sounds like a plan.
