( video; ) un: shigeru miyata

[mysophobic]

[ 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!! ]

Nothing about curses or possession, but your other offer does interest me.

[Breq is, admittedly, holding her tongue about curses and possession not being real. Those things are stories and fables where she's from, superstition trailed around in different ways on different planets, but if magic is real here, she can't say those other things aren't, either. It doesn't mean she won't still view them with skepticism.

Food, on the other hand-- she does still remember Shigeru's offer at the clb tables.]

[ Shigeru beams when he sees Breq reply. He does have to repay her for everything during carnivale after all. ]

Really? You'd like to learn how to cook then? I can definitely teach you! Do you have any experience at all, or no?

[breqintopieces]

Some basic experience, but nothing beyond what we did on my world.

[And nothing like the things she'd seen from him at the food stand. She may not be cooking for others the way she used to, but that's no reason not to learn something new and interesting.]

[mysophobic]

Well any experience is always a good start! It helps if you have the basics down too. Was there anything in particular you wanted to learn?

[breqintopieces]

Why not that dish you were showing at the activity fair?

[She had liked it, after all. Might as well start there.]

[mysophobic]

[ Shigeru will perk up with that request. ]

Oh! I can definitely do that! The recipe itself isn't too hard, so it'll be a good thing to start with!

[breqintopieces]

Good.

[She nods to accompany the words, then briefly glances off-camera. When she pops back in, she adds,]

When shall we meet for it?
