Why not set up a few more pots then? Provide a variety of stews for different tastes and preferences. There's a soup festival where I'm from where they hand you a bowl and you can ask for any soup you'd like to try.

Wanna hook a guy up with 100 bronze swords?



Just kidding.

Now that's an idea, one that wouldn't require me to commission a bunch more pots. Maybe that's something we could hold first, to see what'd be the most popular en masse.

[frostfist]

Do we have enough people who know how to make soup to make that happen?

[transmit]

… It's one of the most basic things you could make. No way in our base of 50+ there aren't at least ten people who know how to make soup.

[frostfist]

Sure, they can probably make soup. But can they make soup that other people are going to want to have?

[transmit]

Then, they could always just pick one of the millions of four-star recipes online and follow it.

I don't think anyone wants to contribute something inedible…? Do you really have this little faith in people?

[frostfist]

How many people's cooking here have you tasted personally?

[transmit]

[ … the barbecue… nanamin's… high-key pretty depressing… ]

You know what? Fair enough.

Your reaction's pretty extreme, though. Like there was someone who hurt you specifically.

[frostfist]

You really have to ask?

[transmit]

It's not that bad.

Sure, your life passes before eyes, but it just makes you appreciate what you have that much more.

And isn't there a defense to make that she's not exactly human…? Most people don't have taste buds like that. Probably. Unless she managed to get her little hands in all of them.

…





You don't think…? Is this something we need to worry about? Security detail for our pots of soup?

[frostfist]

Since you came up with the idea, I'll let you handle that part.

Let me know when your friend in charge of the pot finishes and we'll start planning then.
