Is there anyone who can make edible stuff who'd be willing to help me with something? There's a few things I want to look into making, and I don't want to take the chance of it falling through because I don't have the right ingredients.

[The only person Naoki knows of off the top of his head who can do that is Leo, and he's not an option for... well. Reasons. Besides, he doesn't want to be stuck with one person who ends up infiltrating or on the other side of a jaunt-walkabout divide when he really needs something. As it is, he's going to have to look into somewhere to keep all this crap.]

I am interested in eating any food that you may make. Will any be available for sharing?

[leftbehindagain]

I won't be making any food. But this will give you a good idea of who can, if it goes well.

[laceandcarnage]

I am certainly interested in those who can create food. I shall eagerly anticipate gaining this knowledge.

[chalicejoker]

If you're looking to cook something, I can help. Used to run a restaurant.

...I just don't have a handle on making my own ingredients yet.

[leftbehindagain]

Not for cooking. Think Yomi and you'll be a little closer.

[chalicejoker]

Oh.

Can't help you there--I'm not really great at mixing drinks.

[purseownerisme]

...I can.

[leftbehindagain]

...Didn't know that or I would've asked you straight off. Still, it's probably better to have more than one person in mind, just in case.

[Private]

It's for the sleep aids, mainly. I'm sorry it took me so long to get around to it. Kind of had bigger things to worry about during the jaunt, and you were infiltrating anyway. It shouldn't take long at all once I have some ingredients, though.

[Private]

[purseownerisme]

It's ok, things happen.

What all do you need?

[thornsofmalkav]

I can't make edible stuff, but I also could probably use the help of someone who can in the next couple days. I mean, I can bug Leo if I really need to, but... well, I think he might end up being kinda busy soon.

[Because of greeting the newbies. And also a certain book...]

[leftbehindagain]

In that case, stick around, meet some people.

[He... has his own reasons for not asking Leo, but he's not going to air those on the network. Among other things, the Travelers have enough damn sources of internal conflict to be getting on with right now. Besides, Leo did earn some points back by going on Lyall-sensei's dungeon.

Not nearly enough to make things okay, but still.]

I might be able to give you some assistance, depending on what you want made. Something unfamiliar's always more difficult.

[thornsofmalkav]

Oh hey, Sabetha! We should meet up anyway, even if you can't. I've got a thing for you, dude. I was gonna give it to you when I spotted you by the water, but then the weird star bullshit happened before I could make my approach and I got super-fucking distracted.

So, like, I'm gonna try to do a Day of the Dead thing for people in a couple days, which means we're gonna need the right kinda food. The pan de muerto shouldn't be that hard, it's just specially shaped pan dulce, and the sugar skulls and chocolate skulls are pretty easy too. But man, the chicken mole...

[tailforbrains]

I can do it. What'll you make me if I do?

[Because Neeshka is a greedy thing, okay. Better have something good to offer.]

[leftbehindagain]

How's a drink sound? It's about the best I can offer, but I still have 90 percent of Yomi's drinks list. Not my main project right now, but I'm sure I could whip one up.

[Unless she has a use for one of the sleep aids that's the main point of this venture.]

[amadine]

What sort of things, and what are you planning to offer in return?

[leftbehindagain]

I promised someone I'd revisit some of what I had going in Melasurei. If you have use for a sleep aid, you can have a couple when it's done, I'm sure I'll have plenty.

Otherwise, I do have most of Yomi's drinks menu still.

[abweichend]

I can probably make the basics, if this is what I think it is.

[IN OTHER WORDS he's on board.]

[leftbehindagain]

Eventually, it will be. There's something else I need to do first.

[Private]

I've been meaning to talk to you anyway. If you haven't yet... you may want to check yourself for surprise tattoos. The one time we talked in Nova Venezia it sounded like you bumped into both Trumps.

[timelessinventor]

I can't make you anything useful, unfortunately, I made the most cardboard-tasting salad ever for Claudia to laugh into earlier.

However, I can make you containers to put things in, if you are interested. Or utensils to make things!

[leftbehindagain]

...Why was she laughing at a salad? [Or maybe he doesn't want to know.]

Containers and the like would also be helpful. Probably take some of the load off whoever's working on the ingredients.

[creativefool]

Man. Wish I could help: I've been tryin' to get the trick down myself, but it's not quite workin' yet. Kinda wondering if there's somethin' I'm missing or if it's just practice.

What's the plan?

[leftbehindagain]

Take your time. I'm getting plenty of options, but one more once you've got it down won't hurt. [And hey, maybe he can ask one of the people who've said they can pull it off.]

I promised someone some sleep aids, and I want to make good on that before we're disrupted by another jaunt. I did consider actually making drinks for everyone after that last disaster, but at this point I don't think there's really time. It'll have to wait for another Liminal Space.

[howexciting]

... I will, if you require it.

[leftbehindagain]

Thank you, sensei. I'll keep it in mind if I need it.

[The handful of people who know Naoki well might be able to guess, from that, that he doesn't expect he'll ever be that desperate. But there's no point in bringing it up on the network, and Leo means well.]
