ic contact for tlv

[ it literally is just the generic ic contact post, Hickey hasn't changed the outgoing message yet or anything. ]

[ He glances over at the load of food and nods. ]

This is just my supplies. I'm sure others have their own. And none of the wardens have mentioned that the main supply is entirely barren.

[ A pause. ]

Are you familiar with rice?

[ Since, well, he has a lot of rice. ]

It's eaten with almost every meal. I have some cooking in the kitchen, if you'd like to try some.

[ He'd also been cooking something to go on top of it, so it'll at least be a good example. ]

[ He nods as he leads the way back to the kitchen, and there's the smell of it permeating the air, getting stronger as they make their way back. There's also the smell of what is definitely a mild Japanese-style curry, probably the last he's going to make for a while given the proposed limits, but he couldn't uncook what he'd been cooking when everything came out.

He'll point over to the cylinder-shaped family rice cooker that he has on the counter, and press the button to open it up and reveal the soft white grains and some steam. ]


It's just water and rice. You can steam or boil it. You can also fry it when it's a little older. Grind it up into a flour or a paste. It's even used to make wine and liquor.

[ And he'll reach over with a paddle to pull some out onto a plate, ladle some curry (chicken this time) onto the other side, and present him with a meal that would make Ghibli proud. ]

[ He does, actually; it was one of the things he brought back to try to get Rags to use something before he just gave up on it. So a fork is provided.]

Eat up.

Just about anything. [ He crosses his arms loosely, casual. ] It's easy to fill up with some rice added to the meal.

I've recommended as such.

[ He points to the plate. ]

The portion made for you is roughly a quarter cup of grain before cooking.

Not that much, as long as you have a big enough cooker. The one here would probably serve 30 people per batch with that ratio.

[ He pats it with one hand. ]

I used to have ten mouths to feed per meal. So it was easier to get it done at the start of the day and keep it warm for the rest.

That's why I'm going to be donating half of my supplies to the kitchen...

[ He looks very specifically at Hickey. ]

And half I'll be keeping here, just in case anyone gets foolish. If you want to take some to keep in your room, we can pack up a box for you.

[ He nods easily enough to Hickey. ]

That's why I offered it.

[ He'll head over to a corner of the kitchen and tug out a cardboard box, folding it back together before he tips his head towards the store room. ]

Let's get that done.

[personal profile] lone_horse 2021-11-10 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know what you eat. So I don't know what will be best to give you, other than rice.

[ He tips his head towards the store room again. ]

Come with me and we'll pick out some things. I can eat anything there. You might not like some of them.

[ He turns back to look at him. ]

Being willing to eat anything is a good thing. Not having a preference isn't.

[ He faces forward as he continues leading the way towards the food.]

It's a small motivation; every preference you have is something you'll aim to support. It's not big, like a place to live. It's a small dream. But it helps you work up to that bigger dream being real enough to truly chase it.

[ A firm nod. ]

No tomatoes. Anything else you can think of?

[ An offer but clearly not something he'll force. ]
