early into the maze liminal

[fruitknife]

Quick question. They have us in two groups, and far as I can tell, one's smaller than the other - so who all on the smaller side can do food? I'm working on it but I don't have it down yet.

Maybe a better question, how the hell are we gonna distribute anything?

[Shinji's cranky - he can't find Minako or a way back to the nice warm bedroom Helena gave him - but if there's one thing he's been good at from an early age, it's using his crankiness to get shit done.]

...What, you on a restricted diet or something?

[papacerberus]

There is only one thing that gives me nourishment. I can eat other things, and I admit that the flavors are pleasing, but they don't do anything to sate the Hunger.

[That capital H is noted, but Shinji doesn't press for now. It's not important just yet.]

Got it. So you'd probably need talking through stuff for anyone else.

[papacerberus]

Working from examples might be better. There were only rations in the Junkyard, except for the occasional odd morsel, moldy roll, or rancid gravy. We avoided eating them, because they had negative effects. It wasn't until I arrived here that I was exposed to what others consider real food.

[...Odd... why are you talking about shit they found in Tartarus.

But that's a matter for another time.] Examples'll have to wait until I figure out edible food on my own, but once I do, I can do examples.

[papacerberus]

Until then, I'm content to make do with explanations if you're prepared for... unpredictable results.

[fruitknife]

Probably better from me than some other people. I'll be able to tell you what you got wrong.

[papacerberus]

Then I should be able to learn how to make things correctly quickly enough.

[fruitknife]

Cool.

[papacerberus]

If you do wish me to make something before you can do it for yourself, I do listen to the network even if I don't comment often. Just ask for Lupa.

I could also attempt to teach, if that's what you want, although you'll need to master more basic skills first.

[fruitknife]

Cool. Name's Shinji. [Well, at least when Emperor Emperor tells him about the rest of the 'team,' he'll know one name.]

I'm working on it. Got the food shapes down pretty good. I'll get to actual food sooner or later.

Thanks, though.

[papacerberus]

The one who taught me explained it by describing the food as empty, and filling it with nourishment by act of will. Perhaps that will help you too, Shinji.
