Week 4: April 22nd - April 26th



Fourth Week
A second murder shook the town of Cartesio. Clarisse's ambush plan ended with Katsuki Bakugou's death. Now what?

Nothing to be done other than continuing their life and watch what happens. After two weeks, after the deaths they have seen, it's hard to think there's a way out. The only option is to wait for the right chance to turn the tables and see a weak point in the Sergeant's plans -- and hopefully not see any murders.

The townspeople's attitude towards the tourists soured even more. The destruction of the church was much worse than anything they had seen so far, and they ran out of patience. People who in the past were nice and wanted nothing more than to make the tourists happy now aren't afraid of saying to their faces what's what. Random pedestrians shout at the visitors, telling them to stop being criminals. Although there are a few who have more patience than the rest, general opinion is clear:

The tourists are nuisances, to say the least.

In the lobby of the motel there's a few more brochures, and the maps have been updated once again.

Kinoyaki.

[And here, Kino grins.]

There was a country that wanted to try flavors from a traveler who had visited many places and tried all kinds of foods. They made my recipe into the signature food of the country.

[RIP all those poor peoples' digestive systems.]

[ Cian, who has no idea what a reasonable amount of spice for this time period is, just nods, clearly impressed. ]

That's amazing! I didn't know you had such a talent!
quickpersuader: (Getting lost)

[Oh, Cian. You know not what you speak.]

It was nice to have someone appreciate it for once. [Is it because Kino always travels alone? Or because no one actually likes Kino's cooking? A mystery. Anyway, time to get this chicken sliced appropriately.

Kino is in fact very good at this part, expertly maneuvering the knife to cut through the meat swiftly and efficiently.

[ The expertise at cutting the chicken does nothing to make Cian doubt the validity of Kino's cooking genius. Clearly, this is just how it is out there in the world. ]

Looks like it's going to be flavorful... I wish I could try it, but my palate is probably unable to handle it. I'm only just getting used to basic foods... It's so sad.
quickpersuader: (started far)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-10-25 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... then this might not be good for you.

[Even Kino realizes that, finishing up with the slicing in record time. Into the pan it goes!]

I always like to season my food a lot. You aren't used to food like that?
integratedsoul: (i hate hypocrisy)

[personal profile] integratedsoul 2018-10-25 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, my world doesn't really use a lot of spices... or fat... or much of anything,. really.

[ The more time she spends here and sees other people's food experiences and expectations, the more pathetic her home cuisine starts to sound. ]

I'm trying hard to try new things here, but the first time I tried to eat at the diner I couldn't eat more than two bites...
quickpersuader: (started far)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-10-25 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[That...

Sounds so distressingly sad.
]

What have you been doing for food?
integratedsoul: (learned to smile so well)

[personal profile] integratedsoul 2018-10-25 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I started off eating plain bread and salads, but I'm fine with healthier native dishes now!

[ She is so proud of this. ]

Bacon and pancakes are probably still a no-go, but I'm getting used to things bit by bit!
quickpersuader: (so the...)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-10-25 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kino feels. So badly for this woman. That sounds like the worst??]

...I hope you can try them someday. They're really good.

[Oh right it's probably time to start dumping spices in, huh? Kino turns back to their work, pouring the bowls into the skillet. The air soon fills with the smell of many, many spices.]
integratedsoul: (that watching you)

[personal profile] integratedsoul 2018-10-25 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ S-so much spice in the air. Cian sneezes as it's put in though when the dust settles and only the smell remains it is... well, easier to bear. Easy would be too much said. ]

I'm working hard to get there! Your world's cooking seems super flavorful though. Does it differ a lot from place to place or is it always like that?
quickpersuader: (is getting wet)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-10-26 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[There's ghost pepper in there, RIP everyone who ends up trying this.]

Oh, it's very different depending on the country. This is just the style I've developed.

[Kino says this proudly like the traveler is not in fact just taking all spices available and putting them in for maximum flavor.]
