Does anyone have any vegan or just any non-meat recipes to share? (っ˘ڡ˘ς)

My friend doesn’t eat meat so I’d like try making some stuff for him. You know, just something new to try.

Preferably meals, please. Thank you.

[The video feed cuts on with Gokudera sitting in a tattered living space. It looks like a giant cat has been using every piece of furniture as a scratching post.]

Is there a daycare somewhere in this place? Parents that miss looking after children? One of the kids from my world showed up. He’s five, and a pain in the ass. The Tenth and I have to go to school, so we need someone to look after Lambo while we’re unavailable.

[He clearly has his hands full. There’s a real leopard living in his little apartment, and he has his job and school. Lambo can’t be cooped up all day while he furthers his education. He’s considered no longer going to classes, but he’s not Lambo’s guardian!

Even if he’s been acting like it for a bit now, and trying to be sneaky about it.]

[The video opens onto a long shot of singing people dancing around the base of a huge tree. Naked singing people! Not all of them, but many of them, though some are wearing white robes instead of going totally nude. That's right, it's the majestic and emotional climax of the Nicnevin Solstice tradition, apparently being liveblogged by someone who is not participating in the naked musical antics.

The shot holds for a few solid moments, and then the phone camera swings around to a large, muscular man sitting a short distance from the action, under a tree, also naked—except for the black wrap tying up most of his hair. It takes him a second to steady the camera and aim it well at his face, but only a second. He actually seems to be decent at working this thing.

He says:]


So, this is "magic"? I want to understand. This ritual is more than a symbolic gesture of bonding? Is there proof? Or is this simply what people accept?

And if there really is more here than symbolism, how have they done this to us?

[His body jerks in a tiny shiver against the cold—boy does it look cold out there, but he's trying hard not to show it, and with that little tell, he turns off the camera with a flicker of annoyance. Cold!]

[ Louis appears on the camera, and behind him is a very empty looking room at the inn. Perfect - just how he decorates. He leans back into a chair and has his arms folded over his chest. ]

I was away for a few months and things got bad here, it looks like. I think I have the short version of what happened, and I don't need all of the details. Besides, that's not why I'm here on the network.

[ He considers and then -- ]

In December, at home, we have a Holiday called Rexmas. It's to be spent with families and loved ones, gift giving, that sort of thing. I wager other places have similar holidays, and if you want - you can share what yours are. I'm admittedly a bit curious. December is always busy and eventful for me, and this is the first year in many where I don't anticipate being busy, so I don't know what to do with myself.

Which made me get an idea, which I suspect that a lot of people will like.

[ His tone doesn't shift, and his attention seems solidly on the camera. His tone is...formal, almost stern. ]

I'm thinking that the first weekend of December we should have a party for everyone. A formal party, or maybe a masquerade? Maybe let me know what sounds more fun for you. An opportunity for people to dress up in something nice and enjoy each other's company. To drink, and dance, and party, essentially.

I've worked to organize events like this at home many times before, so I have no problem securing a location, and working to organize the event. As long as others are willing to volunteer to help with setup of it.

[ He unfolds his arms, and his body seems to relax. He smiles a little. ]

That being said, I want to make sure everyone can fully enjoy themselves, and it's a safe event. So I do have a few things that I want to ensure are absolutely going to be rules.

First, children under the age of sixteen will be forbidden to stay after nine in the evening. Second, all weapons are to be left at home. Third, no fighting with magic, either. Magic may be used for the purpose of entertainment at the event.

Again, I want a peaceful, safe event - so these are the only real non-negotiables. Beyond those, I'm open to suggestions, contributors. That's sort of thing.

Why are there so many damn fires. [Granted, Shinji's only actually caught sight of one fire in progress.

But when you have fire-related trauma, one is 'so many.']

And how the fuck are any of them sticking when it just rained all fucking month, I guess. (Don't say 'magic.')

1. what do you know about job interviews?
i didnt know you have to interview to get jobs. even if it's just at a restaurant!! regardless of whether the job itself involves talking to people at all!!? stupid


[ Guess who's been bombing interviews as a part-time busboy all over town. And who's only bothering to ask about proper employment beyond random quests, um, now, after several months of just getting by...? He must be getting tired of stealing hotchips from the cornerstore. ]

2. what do you know about going to school as a full-time student here?
i heard you can make a living like this
insight about going to school in other worlds could be useful too. i was homeschooled....


[ But at least he's thinking in terms of solutions. ]

[Gundham starts the video as he sets up his phone looking out onto an empty stretch of grass as he props the phone up on a stump. He sets a large basket down as he steps back and takes a steadying breath, still not quite comfortable with such broadcasts, but making it anyway.]

So, I've been thinking long and hard about how to bring more money into my animal shelter and stable to better fund the upkeep of it, and I believe I have struck upon something.

[He crouches down and pulls what looks like a miniature pumpkin with a large D painted on its side in dark purple paint.]

I've recently gained access to plant based magic as well as curses, hexes, and the like. As such I've decided to try and combine the two and...

[He turns away from the camera and tosses the pumpkin into the clearing behind him. As it hits the ground, it explodes into a cloud of what appears to be purple mist for half a second.]

I've managed to breed a unique strain of miniature gourd with seeds that cause the gourd to burst when thrown, and placed a curse of darkness on them as well. Any caught in the cloud will have their vision darkened as if it were midnight for roughly thirty seconds.

[As he speaks he picks up another one and tosses the gourd for a similar demonstration.] I've found it an effective way to shake off pursuers, when venturing into the forests. The only requirement I am going to enforce on its purchase is some kind of proof that you are venturing into dangerous territory for a quest.

After all, I cannot simply sell such weapons to anyone.

[There's a pause before Gundham glances at something off screen, making a face as if trying to get something to do what it was told before a bear paw could be seen swing into frame before launching the phone much to Gundham's... frustration. Thankfully the phone lands and ends the feed less than a second later.]

[This is a bored child talking, of course, they're not going to ask about games or anything a kid should probably be asking about.

Also considering the time they post this, they should be in bed.]


So like, our familiars are supposed to help us with our magic, both kinds right?

[Because they're aware of having two kinds of magic now except...]

I think mine might be broken because I still have no idea what magic I can do, like at all.

Right.

[Alec appears in front of the camera with an enormous rack, antlers, that is. And while they aren't out of proportion exactly (well as in proportion as they can be to an otherwise human head) it would make a stag take a second look]

I've had these bloody things a month or more. [and it wasn't the only thing he had, but he wasn't talking about the rest of it.]

That thing is no help. [he jerked his thumb at the spectral whippet shaped grim gnawing on a squeaky toy that looked like a strangled chicken]

If anyone has any suggestion on how to get them to go away, I'd appreciate it. Anything short of a saw. I've tried meditation-- I've tried sleeping more. [though he'd failed at both. Probably because of the damned antlers]

I'm out of ideas.

And I think I've got something else now. Magic I mean. How the hell do you lot handle all this? I just want to go home and read a book for God's sake.

[though which home he really didn't want to think too hard about]

[also he hopes no one notices the user name as he didn't notice it until it was too late to do anything about it]

So

If you have like

A phobia of some kind, especially to a particular kind of animal

How do you get over it?


[He has a reason for asking and it has all to do with the fact that he has had Nigou the pup since Kuroko went home but now there's a wolf in his house due to a certain blond basketball player staying over. Nigou was hard enough to try and get used to but he's also had like, a couple years in Seirin to do so. Add in Nova the wolf and all that dog-phobia is coming right back.

He's trying, okay?]

Need ideas for last minute things I should do on my birthday tonight.

I don't usually celebrate, so I'm going to take suggestions.

For the record, I do plan on drinking, at least a little.

[ It's been a rough day at work for Kaiba, apparently. He's back at the inn after a long shift at the trinket shop. His small blue dragon is off playing in the background, apparently amused by the oddities her partner brings home. ]

If I ever meet the person who first coined the phrase 'the customer is always right', they'll rue the day I find them. I've seen how the base engine of the business world churns...and I regret everything.

But as much as I'd love to walk away from the grind and start a business that better suits me, I lack the capital for that escape route. So I'd appreciate any other employment recommendations...or, failing that, advice on the art of politely tolerating customer mistreatment.

Recommendations for what to do with shed antlers, go.

Can they be used for magic? Weapons? Something like that. I've heard they can make good chew toys for carnivores.

And before anyone asks: they are mine, not some deer in the woods. I did not go hunting down something and take its antlers.

Alright, folks, one more question:

What's your favorite food that doesn't include meat? I want to try some new things and am getting bored of the same-old.

Is this working? I tried a couple times to make sure it works, but this is still pretty different.

[The little girl on screen is frowning while looking at her device, until finally she clears her throat, takes a deep breath and...]

AAAAAAAAHH!!!!!!!!!

[Clearly she is a perfect model of calm and composure in a crisis.]

WHERE IS DOLLY?!?! I NEED DOLLY!

DOLLY!
DOLLY?? DOLLY!

[She takes... several deep breaths after her screaming... and then says quite a bit more calmly...]

Also... does anybody have any cake? I haven't had cake in over a thousand years.

Saving multiple worlds -- no, multiple universes, do you think that is enough to erase the sins that a person has committed?

Or is this merely what is right for those that are sinners?

Perhaps, redemption is beyond us and we can only do a little bit of good before judgement.

[Ren has set up the camera so that he's visible from waist up. He's smiling a perfect smile, fit for an entertainer.]

Hello, everyone. My name is Ren Jinguji. I'm an idol back home and I was also in the business in Lunatia, where I was before coming here.

I was curious to know if you think being a singer would be successful here in Camelot? I am planning on joining the theater, but I wish to sing as well. Of course, I could just sing for the sake of it, but I want to spread the joy of music around as much as I can.

[Maybe that's a bit cheesy and more what Ittoki or someone else from STARISH would say, but he does feel the same way.]

Also my magic here is Healing. If anyone would like to practice together, I would appreciate it. Or if anyone happens to need healing, I can at least try my best.

[Alice shifts the device backwards after she turns it on and smiles at it. She's in the Inn for the observant. Her big silver tabby with his sharp claws and even sharper fangs is asleep on her bed. Or, well, he LOOKS asleep but an ear is turned towards Alice.]

Oh ah, I beg your pardon, please. My name is Alice Liddell, how do you do?

[She offers a curtsy to the device. The tabby seemed to purr, perhaps he picked Alice for her manners.]

I do apologize as I'm about to add to all the questions, I hope it's alright? Oh- but that isn't the question, you see!

What I was wondering, and hoping someone might have the answer, is- is there a school? [Whether or not she needs to attend can be asked AFTER she knows if there is one.]

Also, does anyone else have control over various elements? I've never had any powers before you see, or well, you don't as I didn't have them, but I do have them now! I was wondering if anyone is very skilled at them. I...

[She glanced at the singed napkin near the microwave of the room.]

I had a bit of an... accidental incident earlier with fire and would like to not to... that is, not have any more incidents on accident. [The silver tabby's ear flicked and his tail swished.]

Thank you so much for your time!

i have a question and maybe it's a dumb question but i don't care
i know we've all got different magic, right?
so that means there have to be more people that can move stuff with their mind

do any of you guys have problems with it?
like problems controlling it or aiming or whatever
not that i'm having problems

i'm just curious


[ he is 100% having problems ]
