A.C. pauses in awe, with a spoonful of stew halfway to his mouth.

Time seemed to freeze as the spoon moved towards A.C.’s lips. The stew shimmered as only an awakened food could, and Salad imagined it was calling out for help. 

Acting on impulse, they slapped the spoon out of A.C.’s hand, sending it clattering to the floor.

Acting on impulse, they slapped the spoon out of A.C.’s hand, sending it clattering to the floor. 

A.C. was stunned as the spoon suddenly flew from his hand. He stared at Salad for a moment, then at the floor, and then back at Salad.

“What? You don’t like the stew? Well I didn’t ask you to eat it or anything. If we weren’t good friends, I might ask you to pay me back for that bite!” 

He leaned down to pick the spoon back up, and set it on the side of the table. It was no good now that it had touched the floor. How was he to eat his stew?

X offers him a new spoon.

[Rosharan A.C. he/him]

A.C. smiles at the newcomer, and takes it graciously.

“Ah, thank you good sir!” He blows on it and wipes it on the napkin, just to be sure.

“Now Salad, I hope you won’t knock any more food out of my hand. Speaking of which, were you planning on getting any yourself?”

“A.C.” Salad began, looking him in the eyes. “I’m an awakened salad.” They pointed to the stew. “That’s an awakened stew. Don’t you see what I’m upset about here?”

[Vapor she/her]

May I request a job? I am interested in joining.

[Lunamor she/her]

“Why certainly! Which position would you like to apply for?” Lunamor asked.

[Vapor she/her]

Vapor thinks for a moment and then replies, "Sous Chef would be nice."

“Someone to help clean would be very nice. This kitchen, he can be very messy. Have you cooked before?”

[Vapor she/her]

"Yes, I have. I could start by cleaning and work my way up."

[Lunamor she/her]

“Sounds great! We pay employees with compliments, does that work for you?”

“Oooooh. That, that makes sense. My apologies.” He looks down at his bowl in contemplation, then grabs it with both hands and chucks it over his head. A crash sounds somewhere in the restaurant behind them.

Moments later, he yells, “Hey Lunamor! Could I have some... uh... some unawakened stew?! Also, I’d like to pay for a bowl which is probably very broken now!”

He then winks at Salad. “Hope you’ll forgive me for my ignorance. And I’ll buy you meal if you’d like. Something that’s normal food.” He smiles wide, then pauses, in thought for a moment. “Well, relatively normal food.”

“Stew!” Salad cried, ignoring A.C. and rushing over to the now shattered bowl and puddle of stew on the floor. “No... no!” They tried to scoop Stew back into their bowl, but it was too late. Stew had already started soaking into the floor. Emotionally exhausted, Salad closed their eyes and let darkness take them.

OOC I’m completely calm. I just like melodrama 

 

[Lunamor she/her]

Lunamor poked his head out of the kitchen. "You know the stew wasn't sentient, right? It's made out of a bunch of plant stuff, so it only needed one breath. Oh, and what sort of stew would you like, A.C.?"

I've given up on continuity.

Salad, now suddenly awake, blinked and looked at the stew. 

“...oh.” 

They stood up and looked around the restaurant, feeling foolish. “Sorry, I’ll clean this up. I’ll buy you some more stew, @Rosharan A.C..”

“Mmm, I wouldn’t mind some of that cookie stew this gentleman’s offering!” He looks over at The Last Post, and raises his hand, saying, “That’s me!”

A.C. then turned for a moment to see Salad, sitting on the floor. And suddenly, he realized, this was more important than stew! “Actually, hold that!” It took all of three seconds for him to scramble out of his chair and over to Salad. 

“No don’t worry! I got it! I got it Salad! Don’t worry about it! I’ll clean it up!” He quickly presses the napkin down to soak up the stew.

edit: oops, ninja’d. Well, my statement stands.

Vapor grins. "Of course! Compliments are my favorite! I'm also really good at giving them." She pauses. "Ooh! I've got one for you! Your restaurant has the best food in the Cosmere!"

She frowns. "You already knew that, didn't you. Maybe I'm not as good as I thought."

After a little while, she smiles again, back to her perky personality. "I'll take the job."

“Thank you,” Salad said, heaving a sigh of relief. They began collecting pieces of the shattered bowl. “I’m sorry about your stew. I wasn’t sure if it was sentient or not, but I didn’t want to take my chances.” They smiled ruefully and shook their head. “I could’ve just asked.” 

After depositing the pieces of the bowl in a garbage can, Salad went to the front counter. “I apologise for the disturbance. I’d like to pay for A.C.’s cookie stew, and the bowl.”

Lunamor nodded happily, handing her an apron. “Could you go organize the Breath cabinet in the kitchen? It, er... needs some work.”

[Vapor she/her]

Vapor tries to put on the apron and drops it, somehow managing to tangle the string in the process. She picks it up and fixes it, finally putting it on correctly. "Of course I can!" She heads into the kitchen and her mouth drops. The cabinet's door is hanging from one hinge and the contents are spilled all over the floor. She sighs and starts cleaning.

Fadran steps inside.

Is this the third or fourth roleplay you've found yourself in? Icona asked him.

"Fourth, I think." Fadran replies. "Knights next Door, I'm Bored, the Scholar's Guild, and this one."

Impressive. Are you active or just insecure?

"A mixture of both, probably." Fadran looks around. "Though I suggest we stop breaking the fourth wall when we're actually in an RP, mmkay?"

Fair enough. Icona falls silent.

Fadran clears his throat. "What would it take to get a Highmaster Arcane Mage, Traveling Merchant, Iconan Channelknight a drink around here?"

You know, I was visiting this place called Cheecago the other day, and they had this amazing drink called Root Beer there. Kind of like carbonated ginger water. Do you think you could throw that together?
