3.0 - week three

[afflictionmods]

WEEK THREE

Last night might have been exhausting for any number of reasons - maybe it was the emotional

toll of dealing with those ghosts, or maybe you stayed up too late after watching Jim Shrok. Who knows, but Saturday is over, even if some of you haven’t quite left it behind and half spirits that are still hanging on, tethered to you and weighing you down…

But that’s not going to stop a new week from starting. There’s no breaks in an eight week course.

There’s very little fanfare to the start of your third week of the course, though it does seem like the fog has lifted even more. It’s a bit more of a trek down the abandoned streets of Estelline, but surely a mile is walkable? Or you could grab a bike or try to hotwire one of those cars in the mall parking lot… Whatever you plan to do this week is up to you. All you know is you've got some new locations to explore.

As always, Florence and Lorelei are available.

SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY

TASK LIST


( OOC Note: Luci, Mutsu, and Mae will each receive a small roomba! Congrats on the successful egg drop. It's a tiny little friend that cleans extra well, though this also means its trash compartment is a little smaller so it'll need to be cleaned more often. )

[ how the FUCK do you rng cursed food.

that said, flat looks mildly surprised! ]

Right, right? I think the tanginess of the blue cheese goes well with the sweetness of the oatmeal raisin. How do you think we can improve it?

[undertakings]

[you rng food and then mash the combination together if it's sufficiently terrible, like some kind of horrible gacha

He doesn't even really put much thought into it when he answers:]

Use less sugar for the cookies.

[this is not a nuanced opinion, he just has a bias against sweets]

[escardos]

Huh... but I used what the recipe said...

[ he tries some of the leftover batter, obviously by sticking his finger into the bowl. ]

Should I try adding salt instead of sugar? Or what about mustard seeds?

[undertakings]

[Eh, it's fine. Who needs to be sanitary anyway.

Realistically speaking, Shin's probably one of the worst people here to ask for cooking opinions, so this is just what we're getting now.

A shrug, and:]

You could try putting both.

[escardos]

You think so?!

[ flat's eyes widen in surprise, happy to hear that shin is helping by giving ideas. ]

Will you try it if I do?

[undertakings]

[Well, it's not like he really has anything better to do, so...]

Sure. Is there a reason why you're doing this though?

[escardos]

I'm making food and/or drinks that remind me of the people here!

[undertakings]

[??? okay sure flat]

So who was the cookie and cheese supposed to remind you of?

[escardos]

Of you.

[ he says this matter-of-factly, as if it were something that shin should have already figured out. ]

Isn't it perfect?

[undertakings]

[Glances over the cookie batter... then looks back at Flat.]

...I don't like sweets.

[escardos]

Oh, that's fine.

[ is it?! ]

I mean, it just means that your personality is sweet.

[undertakings]

[there is not enough ???????????? to properly convey how baffled he is right now]

...

It isn't, though.

[escardos]

No need to be self-deprecating. I'm sure there's someone out there that thinks you're sweet. That's what the cookie means.

[ a pause ]

Meanwhile the blue cheese represents your outside personality. People are intimidated because it's strong, but deep down it's delicious and goes great with many types of foods.

[ what the fuck ]

[undertakings]

[well... this definitely takes the cake for one of the weirder conversations he's had here so far. to begin with, having the adjective sweet applied to him has never been a life goal of his so hearing it from a guy he barely knows is...... well. he's also not even entirely sure if they're talking about his personality anymore?!

...]

Then what about you? What would you assign yourself?
