Bring back Cream on Cream or we riot

(All Travellers, new and old, hear a peppy tune as Sara starts the livestream in her industrial brushed steel kitchen. This time, though, Travellers can wave it off with a thought if they want or need to...)

Heeeey what's up guys, welcome to the new Liminal Space. I'm Sara Smith, and I'm here with a friend to teach you how Liminal Space and the network work through the magic of cooking. Thanks to Armin, I figured out how to make this opt-out, so if you have better things to do than learn how to make a perfect bowl of ramen from scratch - like, really from scratch - you can tune out now, and I'll be accepting questions from anyone about where this is and how to deal with it after!

Still here?

Cool, Mr. Shinjiro Aragaki, veteran Traveller, is gonna show us how to make a piping hot bowl of Hagakure Ramen from the fabric of reality. Take it away Shinji-kun!

I'm older than you. If you're gonna fuck around with honorifics at least do it right. [It's a half-hearted grumble, since Shinji knows it's mostly because he's not the only 'Shinji' here, but.]

First things first, most Westerners who think they've had ramen ain't had real ramen. Of course the prepackaged shit tastes like you paid about 20 yen for it. You did pay about 20 yen for it. You want the real shit, you gotta put some effort into it.

[With that, the counter is suddenly laden with lots of ingredients - noodles, of course, but there's also eggs and vegetables, as well as beef stock.] If you wanna make your own food, that'll take some practice. If you can tell Liminal to fuck off with its shit, it's easier to tell it what you do want, but you still don't get edible food right away. Meantime, plenty of us cook. Or just make the shit finished, but what's the fun in that.

Anyway, first off, sesame oil. Heat up some'a that before you get goin' and you'll have better ramen for it.

[And he's off, explaining the steps as he goes, until he has a largeish bowl of steaming ramen.]

[You know who's listening in intently to all of this? This guy.

Sara and Shinjiro are now forever on his OK list. They know about new foods.

But he's not gonna interrupt yet. Maybe at all.]
