post palace takeout! [week 5]

[beathollow]

( at some point a bedraggled lot in yukatas manage to make their way to the dorm, shower and patch themselves up. and then mafuyu makes a very earnest request that they all go out for dinner, and, well, apparently many struggle to refuse her.

this is how they find themselves in something akin to a denny's or an ihop at like, midnight.




as one does. )

I will.

[ And she will probably like it, her opinion on sticky food aside. ]

Is there anything else that would be interesting to try?

[beathollow]

When my friends go to diners, Mizuki always gets a plate of fries... There's also sampler plates to try many things. I prefer to go by texture than anything, so I'll either get a crêpe or an omelet.

[cleansewithfire]

Oh, you also prefer texture?

[ "Also", as if Sunrise can't only go by texture and spiciness to determine preferences. ]

[beathollow]

Yes. I have a zinc deficiency that manifests in something akin to dysgeusia- but instead of a rancid taste, I don't taste anything at all.

[cleansewithfire]

[ ...Zinc, as in the metal??? ]

I see. I am incapable of tasting anything too.

[beathollow]

...

I never thought I'd meet someone else who didn't.

[cleansewithfire]

In my case, it is for a different reason. I believe Ms. Velvet said something like "Your tastebuds are probably just straight-up broken".

...This is my first time meeting someone else who cannot taste too.

[beathollow]

Hm...

Well. At least we can point out the interesting-feeling things to each other, now.

[cleansewithfire]

...We can.

[ And while she isn't particularly expressive, she seems vaguely happy at the idea. ]

[beathollow]

If the omelets are done right, they'll have different things layered in the egg, so there'll be an abundance of different textures, especially if you get it loaded. The crêpes are the same.

[cleansewithfire]

I see...

[ Things for her to consider when trying to get food for Richard, too. ]

Do you like spicy food, Ms. Mafuyu?

[beathollow]

I don't know. It doesn't really effect me.
