At long last, Episode Poutine
[There's a jaunty tune, a message in your head, from a bright young girlish voice:]
Heeey what's up Travellers new and old, I'm Sara Smith and this is Snackin' with Sara. I like to demonstrate just what we can learn to do here every time we get new folks on board, and what better way than with a bit of cooking?
This one is a special request I've been meaning to get to from my friend Casper. I'm going to livestream myself cooking poutine, the super delicious sometimes food from Canada. Now, livestreaming is super disorienting, so if it's a bad time or if for some reason you don't want to learn how to make cheese fries with gravy WITH YOUR MIND, I've learned a way that you can simply opt out - now.
[And now, those who stick around see a burnished industrial steel kitchen from Sara's eyes, as she holds up an empty hand.] First thing we're going to need for our poutine is -
[ - she snaps her fingers, and suddenly potato! A medium Russet in her hands, and three more on the cutting board.]
- Potatoes! And no, that was not clever editing, that was me making a potato WITH MY MIND, which is a thing you can learn to do here. It doesn't just work on potatoes, with a little practice you can make any kind of food - like cheese curds, chicken and/or beef broth, butter, flour, cornstarch, pepper!
[And as she names the food, it appears under the sweep of her hand.]
You need to figure out how to Anchor yourself to liminal space or vice versa first, but meals on demand are a handy trick, yeah?
Okay, so. First you make the gravy - stir together the starch and a bit of water, then fry the flour in the butter until it turns to golden-brown sandy stuff that smells like popcorn.
Add both broths and whisk, until boiling - just beef or just chicken is fine, but either way, don't forget the pepper if you got it (and you do! Cause you made it WITH YOUR MIND!). Keep it warm until the fries are done.
Now, you're going to want to cut your potatoes into thickish sticks, 1/2 an inch or a centimeter and a half like so; and you're going to want to put those into a bowl of cold water then dry them very carefully. Once they're dry, heat up your oil till it's boiling and caaaarefully fry the potato sticks until they are cooked but not brown, then take em out, crank up the heat a little more, and fry them again till golden-brown and crisp outside. Scatter them on a paper towel to blot out the oil.
When that's done, just assemble the poutine! First a layer of fries in the bowl, then scatter the curds, then put the hot gravy all over them, and there you have it, the only fries you eat with a fork! This is super not good for you so don't make it too often and enjoy when you do!
This has been Snackin with Sara, a practical demonstration of liminal and psychic skills! Ask me anything!

(...This may in fact be what Crise Cardiac means, Sara.)
Now where are we gonna find a third person to eat this?
no subject
[He passes over an image.]
It's fifteen pounds.

...which you know. I’ve seen people inhale that much after fieldwork or a fight. But wow.

Competitive eating is a weird thing.

Merry would murder anyone who did that to our stocks back home. WOW.
Not that I can’t see people trying instead of arm wrestling or a real fight or...
If we ever had the food to spare, I mean.

So that thing about anchoring yourself to liminal space...how do you do that?
[Sorry for going off topic for this but he can't take part until questions are answered.
Or you could just feed him.]no subject
First thing you need to realize is that we're in-between everything. This place hasn't decided what it wants to be, yet.
I learned how to anchor the place to me - make it decide it wants to be a bubble of air and solid ground and not much else. Other people anchor themselves here, making portals from whatever Jaunt we're on to back inbetween.
I can demonstrate the bubble, mister...?
no subject
[The telepathy and willing things into existence is still very new and strange to him.]
My name is Riku. And yeah, if you don't mind demonstrating, I think it might help.
[The portal option reminds him a little too much of Dark Corridors to want to try it that way. For now.]
Into action?
Maybe it would be easier to show in person? It’s sorta tricky to describe.
Sure!
[Looks like he had something new to train for.]
Alright. Where should we meet?
Continuing here is fine, or through the link
