( video; ) un: shigeru miyata

[ The video will be spanning over a table set inside Shigeru's house. There's lots of different types of food and beverages lining said table as Shigeru finally shows up in the feed. He'll give a little wave as his half spider half snake wraps itself around his shoulders to get a peak at what its owner is doing. ]

I was wondering if...anyone would like some cooking lessons? I'm offering them free of charge! And, um, I guess if anyone wants to help me learn how to cook different foods from their worlds that would be decent enough payment! If it's more than one person maybe we could do a class, or something like that. Unless people rather have one on one lessons then that's fine too!

[ Shigeru please you are too pure. But his happy expression turns a bit somber as he asks his next question. ]

Also does anyone know anything about curses? Or perhaps being possessed?

[ He looks a little unsure as he fiddles with his gloves and then the LED bracelet on his wrist as he pauses. There's red specks of blood on his gloves even now, but it's not as bad as they used to be. Still he'll smile again as he huffs a little, shaking his head. ]

I guess I have a few questions is all. But that's bit somber, isn't it? What's your favorite dessert from your world or that you tried here? [ Trying for some levity despite the last thing he asked. He's so not good at this sort of thing forgive him!! ]

We know a great deal of stories, and would be happy to tell you of dragons and suncats and sea serpents...

[ He is glad that Shigeru made the suggestion; he would not have thought of stories as something he could trade, but Maia knows many of them. There had been little else to do, when he was small and his mother was ill all the time. So she had told him wonder tales, and about beasts - some real, some myth - from far-off lands. Maia remembers every one of those stories. He had clung to them through the years, since he had nothing else of his mother's to cling to. ]

There is not. We do not wish to raise your hopes for naught. We visited the library, in our first days here, and there is very little from our world, here. The librarian found us a treatise on the silk trade, and two books about Barizheise architecture. Nothing else.

[ Probably there wasn't much considered worth keeping. Everything here is so advanced. But the lack of traces from his own culture and home are contributing to Maia's feeling of isolation. Which... is one reason why he's screwed up his courage to try this out. ]
