post palace hot pot party (week 7)

[townmusician]

[Yoon's Palace has faded away, but the fact the God of Conflict decided to show up and intervene again...

Well, that's! Not a good sign! To say the least! But there's nothing to be done about that right now, and Haruka isn't of the mind to really sit and wonder about divine conflicts and grandstanding and all of that, anyways. It's not his problem. The people who deal with that sort of thing on the regular can be in charge of all of that.

What he's in charge of (by virtue of being annoying) is... hot pot. Specifically rounding up everyone and dragging them out to a hot pot restaurant in the city.

He'll miss having money but... he'll just have to work hard to earn it back... Have fun, everyone. (Or maybe he can find a way to charge Mina for this?)]

Ahhh. I'll have to pass on the meat.

[It's not quite festive enough for him to indulge, so he waves it away a little awkwardly.]

How long should I cook the enoki mushroom?

[supherb]

Oh! No worries.

[He knows not everyone eats meat, so he doesn't find it awkward at all.]

Mushrooms take about a minute, but they get better the longer you leave 'em in since they absorb the broth well.

[metagame]

So they're like lotus root..?

[He sits up more to peer into the pot better and let those mushrooms simmer!]

And what about this sauce?

[Points his chopsticks to the szechuan mixture. It's quite an appetizing red!!]

[supherb]

Yep, pretty similar. I'd say mushrooms just have a different texture to 'em.

[He follows Atem's pointing to the sauce.]

That's a spicy sauce. I don't actually know what the name for it here is, but I know it's made with chili peppers.

[metagame]

You sure know a lot about food.

[It's nice to see many people excited about their apparent interests, and so willing to share them with others. Arven's a pretty cool guy...

A minute's up so he plucks the mushroom to dip in the spicy sauce to try.

he might have gotten too much]
