[Closed] Entry 005

[chippedsoul]

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.

Precisely! If I thoroughly coat myself in a layer of chili powder, a noctaere might think twice about devouring my precious dream essence! [ Sholmes looks down at the sliced pepper where the oils are already proving to be a powerful irritant to his bare fingertips. Maybe it's better not to apply it directly to his skin?

It's in that moment, he begins to question his resolve; he's put a great many inadvisable things inside his mouth ... is he really going to add this to the list? ]

Have you sampled this pepper yourself, Miss Susato?

[judicialassistant]

[ If she also puts it in her mouth, will she feel better about it? Susato seems to shrink a little, though she does adore the way his voice sounds when he is inspired. She has to sadly shake her head. ]

Not yet, but I was considering... Maybe with everyone here, I... [ There's a pause, as she trails off unwittingly. ] Well. Could.

[ Another pause. ]

Today.

[ But would having an audience make it better or worse, she wonders... ]

[thegamesafoot]

Miss Susato! I won't tolerate such equivocation from the world's greatest judicial assistant! And over a mere vegetable!

[ Sholmes touches his tongue to the meat of the pepper with a performative flourish. ]

See? Nothing to fea— ... Hhhhhh!

[ And he doubles over, hissing out hoos and hahs as sweat beads on his face. At his hip, the familiar vial of paper cranes glows bright. ]

[judicialassistant]

...!!

[ Susato has to shield her eyes from her own magic's light. Did she forget about his protection charm? Perhaps... but at least time, he's actually eating something meant to be eaten.

It is no less terrifying, of course. If Sholmes is trying to sell Susato on the idea of taking the challenge herself, he's doing a terrible job. She quickly rushes to his side to support him as he doubles over. ]

Mr Sholmes! Are you...?
