songerein | [Closed] Entry 005

Who: Barok Van Zieks, Ema Skye, Gina Lestrade, Herlock Sholmes, Kazuma Asogi, Susato Mikotoba and Yujin Mikotoba
Which: Closed
Where: The Wild Harvest
What: The AA crew get together to try their luck with the spicy food challenge. Or to observe the struggling of others. Don't worry, we got a doctor on the scene.
Warnings: Fire

The Wild Harvest have setup a food challenge this month and the crew are having an impromptu get together to either try it themselves or observe. An area by the garden has been sectioned off for those to do the challenge, so damage control can be a bit more manageable. Some extra hands are definitely appreciated when, not if, a fire starts.

There's plenty of ice cream and floats to go around for those watching, along with the regular menu of course. Or maybe one could get some air walking around the garden, with plenty of critters from garden snakes to lotus koi fish, and an axolturtle wandering around somewhere. Take care not to feed the fish and turtle too much "junk" food, and good luck spotting the garden snakes as they are more on the shy side.

Is that so...? Well, you can tell me whenever you decide on something. [He'll just fill that glass again, just in case.]

How are you feeling?

[ After sprinkling the bowl with sliced strawberries once again, she pushes the bowl back towards Gina. She already has a cupcake lined up in Gina's name; she can't wait to see what else she might add by the month's end. ]

It may be difficult to taste much of anything for a while. [ Susato adds to Kazuma's question. Might have been more useful for Gina to know before the fact, but! Oh well. ]

[She nods slowly as she accepts the bowl. This time, she actually uses the spoon and eats at a more human pace.]

I... I feel okay. Feelin' a lot less like me mouth is burnin' up. It ain't there so much no more, but... I still feel the spiciness. I think all I can taste right now is the feelin' of 'ot an' cold... [She wearily admits in between scoops.]

That sure was sometin'! B-but... Still 'ad a nice taste to it.

Does it? Maybe we should consider using it in other dishes. In smaller quantities. [He adds, though he may just be joking about the whole thing.]

It'll pass, and know you're the first I've seen today to have completed the challenge.

[ Definitely smaller quantities... They'll have to experiment. For now, assuming Gina is satisfied, she'll grab two more bowls so that both she and Kazuma can have their share, too. ]

Yes, same here. You were remarkable, Gina!

[ Not to say she didn't think she could do it, but she would have never guessed the girl would've had any experience with spices or spicy food. Hmm. ]

Come to think if it... we should probably start a list. Keep track of those who have succeeded, as well as their suggestions.

Y-yes, please... much smaller ones now! [In a very small does, Gina feels like she could enjoy it without feeling like she's going to expire! Still, she manages to a smile as she takes in some more ice cream.]

Thanks, Sooze. I don't see wot was so special 'bout it. I was just eatin' is all! [She tries to downplay it confidently.] I'd be curious about wot that list would look like. ...An' I'd give 'em me sympathies.

Oh? Are you saying you could handle another? [He's teasing her. An appreciative glance when Susato returns unexpectantly with extra ice cream for the both of them.]

I get on that list once we have more who succeed.

[ She would love to see Gina tackle another, but for now, she'll just nod. Making a list to keep track of the challenge conquerors sounds exactly like the kind of assistant work she was made for. ]

Perhaps she can try the curry next time? As for what makes them so special... Well, the peppers come from the farmlands. Mr Asura...

[ Turning to Kazuma-- ] Isn't that right?

No! No more please! [She gains energy when it comes to shouting that out, before shoveling some more ice cream into her mouth.]

Oi, those must be some peppers. I never knew they anytin' could be that spicy!

[He nods to Susato to confirm. The moment of panic in Gina's voice has him put on an amusing grin.]

I wouldn't be surprise if they're not from an Earth world. [He watches her shoveling down the ice cream.] ....Maybe next time, we should have a cold eating contest.

[ Susato looks amused, too. Someday they'll have to find out more from him about where they grow. At the very least, soil quality doesn't seem to be an issue. She appears to perk up at Kazuma's suggestion. ]

Oh! For the winter, perhaps! Although... would that be inappropriate to consider when it is cold, or would it simply add to the challenge...? [ Maybe it would dissuade people from participating too much. ]

Oi, I wouldn't be s'prised if they came from 'ell itself... [She sighs, while going through the last of her ice cream.]

Gimme that ice cream contest right now, an' I'll blow it right away!

Well, we are having a spicy eating challenge when it's still warm. [Maybe he should flip things around next time. At Gina's demand for an ice cream contest, he merely grins.]

You think I'd give people ice cream to eat? [That's too obvious.]

. . . Too predictable.

[ Said as if she'd read Kazuma's mind like it was nothing. ]

We'll figure out something fun and exciting. For now, Gina, you are free to have as much as you'd like. [ Ice cream, that is... ] Just don't get a stomachache before your next meal.

I ain't really thinkin' right now. I just want more cold.

[She admits while finishing the ice cream. And she chuckles at Susato's comment.]

Y-yeah, I'll see if I can avoid that. But I think I might take that over a burnin' mouth... [A shrug.] ...Anyway, thanks for the meal an' all.
