See what you’re dealing with foodwise, of course! The camp pot is no deep fryer, that much is certain, but as you head over to prepare a few rations and get a big whiff of the burning campfire, it isn’t long before muscle memory kicks in!
Your field rations consist of just that: food items made to last a long while on an uncertain road! There’s some dried meat, of course–Volka claims it’s Muusp, but doesn’t seem too confident, a few blocks of Hussp: squares of paste mashed out of some sort of root veggie, and a small satchel of surprisingly chewy boba pearl-esque Nonon Sprouts!
Sampling a bit of each one, you decide to go for the gusto… with help from Volka you manage to scrounge up a few foragables from the camp perimeter: a few fungi, a particularly spiky fruit called a ‘Viishii’, and even one of those pinchy critters you encountered on the way back from the pond!
“Yep! Squeeze some venom outta’ the Reela and it adds a little tang!” Smiles the Skog as you get to work manhandling the pincher! “Whatcha’ makin’, anyways?”
It’s a long shot, but with the new ingredients and some water procured from the pond you manage to rig together a stew of sorts… It's slow-going without proper kitchen tools, but considering most of the food you make at work is just meat and/or cheese unceremoniously dumped into a fryer, you’re doing pretty well!
By the time Rezzie returns, you’ve got a good boil going on, along with a sweet-savory aroma blanketing the campsite! Intrigued, the devil marches over and wordlessly sticks a claw in the stew before giving it a taste!
W-well?
“Not as horrible as I anticipated,” She shrugs before stretching out on the ground and yawning! “I’ll allow it.”
Doling out some bowls, you bite your lip in anticipation as the other gals take their portions… bringing the bowls to their lips, you breathe a sigh of relief as Volka’s eyes light up with approval and TT nearly <span class="mu-i">DIVES</span> into her meal!
“Hells, Rook!” Remarks Volka as she slurps down her bowl in seconds, “Not bad for someone who’s only been here for a few days!”
“<span class="mu-i">YRM! THRSHERRHS SHRRRM GRRT!</span>”
You have no clue what TT said, but by the way she snuggles up next to you it’s clear she enjoyed herself! As you finish off your own stew and bask in the warm, tingly sensation it leaves you with, you feel your eyelids growing heavy…
Quite a big day, you think as TT starts to gently strum her Striilii again, if not an early one!
You wager you’ve got about time for ONE more thing before you pass out–the hearty stew you whipped up made certain of that! The question is, what do?
>Speak to Volka!
>Assist Rezzie!
>Chill with TT!
>Plan for tomorrow!
>Write-In!
