Greetings. My name is Kamisato Ayaka. You may know me as one of the organisers for the upcoming festival for the arts. Please worry not-- we are doing our utmost with the preparations, and I am positive that there will be something enjoyable for everyone.

I must also apologise for sending a suspicious message not too long ago to most people that I know. I received it from someone I did not know, but thought it was sweet of them to consider me a friend. If you received a message comparing oneself to a flower, and that you must send it to other people so that you will not turn into a bitter gourd, I do apologise for the inconvenience I have caused. (｡╯︵╰｡)

Apart from the festival, I am also working on opening a tea house. While I am still working on obtaining a permit, I would like to learn more about other's tastes through a game.

Participants must respond to this entry by posting a cup 🍵, and other players will respond to you by preparing tea that is made especially for you, based on the meanings provided with each kind of tea. They may even give you snacks, as well as other things for this little tea gathering, or even multiple pots of different kinds of tea.

Let us a have a fun tea party before the opening of the tea house. (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ

((OOC: i mean if you guys wanna give eggplants at a tea party, that's fine too))

[You know they won't.]

I know you would, Nen. I'll try to keep it so you don't have to worry.

[Keep Nenonen safe, avoid getting himself into trouble... the first is easier somehow.]

[essenceborn]

[ Nen doesn’t have any insane siblings making a religion out of them to canonize an inter dimensional fuckening, that’s why ]

Can you convince Wolfwood to let me back in the kitchen instead?

[bountyfull]

[That gets him to laugh out loud?]

I'll try, but you know how he is.
Maybe if we brought him something more edible than last time.

[Bribery?]

[essenceborn]

how about a durian? It is a fruit they sell at the grocery store. Very edible!

[bountyfull]

[danger alarms...]

I don't think that'd help get you back in the kitchen. It'd need to be something we cooked. Do you know how to grill? I could teach you that.

[A barely dodged disaster.]

[essenceborn]

Grilled like a grilled cheese?

[ That Was A Close One ]

[bountyfull]

[There's always next time. No one from NML knows the dangers of durian.]

Uh, kinda, yeah! It's different but similar... I figure we could cook some kind of meat. Might be easiest.

[And safest.]

We'd have to use your kitchen, since I think we're both still in trouble in mine.

[essenceborn]

That should be fine. Enkidu will not mind. We can grill anything we want!

What kind of meat do you like?

[bountyfull]

Oh uh, let's see what they have at the market. I don't know that I have a preference myself, really. I could ask Wolfwood what his is, though

[Nen, he is used to eating weird things. Like worms.]

[essenceborn]

[ And yet he judges peanut butter porridge!! ]

That is a good idea! Statistically, people are much more likely to respond favourably to gifts if they are things they like.

[bountyfull]

Haha. You're right, Nen.

We'll earn your kitchen rights back. It might take a few tries though. So be prepared for that.

[He just smiles at his phone, honestly. It's been a long time since he had people in his life like Nenonen, and it makes his chest feel warm in a way that he's scared to get used to.]

[essenceborn]

Great feats are seldom achieved without trial and error. I am prepared to put in the effort.

I added powdered oats to my porridge today.

[ PROGRESS ALREADY. Although powdered oats is really just, uh, Oat flour. But it's not just peanut butter and water now, and Nen is proud of that.

Nen has seldom had a chance to be proud of anything before coming to Ellipsa and meeting people like Vash and Wolfwood. ]

[bountyfull]

"Powdered" Oats?

You're probably really affecting the nutrition by crushing everything into dust, Nen. But I'm proud of you, I know it's difficult for you to eat.

[They have, after all, explained that they throw things up. He might have experienced it once? or maybe he's just making that up in his head.]

[essenceborn]

Don't worry, I account for that. I am still working on being able to eat solids, so this is the most viable option for now. I hope that soon I can turn it into "pancake", which uses something similar.

Oh! And "scrambled egg." I may be able to eat those.

[ Life is hard when you've spent the majority of it on a paste-and-gelatin diet. But, with any luck (and a lot of patience), Nen will one day make it to solids they can keep down! ]

If I blend things up I can usually keep most of it down. Blenders are very efficient method of meal preparation.
