1 qev050505_MSG0001 I am coming to learn that this business of food and[ST:n ]eating goes much deeper than ever I knew.[ST:wait ]
2 qev050505_MSG0002 And in those depths is a path into the very heart of a[ST:n ]man. In that, it is the same as the sword.[ST:wait ]
3 qev050505_MSG0003 I hope you will understand my passion in the pursuit of[ST:n ]mastery over this new form.[ST:wait ]
4 qev050505_MSG0004 Ah, my good BLADE! I am ever in your debt.[ST:wait ]
5 qev050505_MSG0005 Have you gathered the recipes?[ST:wait ]
6 qev050505_MSG0006 Oh my...[ST:wait ]
7 qev050505_MSG0007 If I may...? Hmm... I see, I see...[ST:n ]Curry, Peking duck, and...potluck hot pot?[ST:wait ]
8 qev050505_MSG0008 How are these the recipes you wound up with?[ST:n ]It boggles the mind![ST:wait ]
9 qev050505_MSG0009 I fear these names are all foreign to me, madam.[ST:n ]Could I trouble you to explain the foods to me?[ST:wait ]
10 qev050505_MSG0010 What? Er, sure, I guess. I mean, I'm no expert,[ST:n ]but yeah. I can give you the basics.[ST:wait ]
11 qev050505_MSG0011 Sooo, curry. You take meat and vegetables and spices[ST:n ]and turn them into a rich stew, basically.[ST:wait ]
12 qev050505_MSG0012 You can serve it with rice or bread or whatever.[ST:wait ]
13 qev050505_MSG0013 Peking duck? Well, Peking was a place and duck was[ST:n ]a bird. The dish is one of those roasted whole.[ST:n ]Oranges are involved, I think.[ST:wait ]
14 qev050505_MSG0014 And the last one...potluck hot pot? Hoo boy. Yeah.[ST:n ]This one stretches the definition of \"recipe\" a bit.[ST:wait ]
15 qev050505_MSG0015 You throw anything you want into a pot,[ST:n ]add whatever stock you have, and call it a day.[ST:n ]...That's it.[ST:wait ]
16 qev050505_MSG0016 Right then. Which one do you think he should learn?[ST:wait ]
17 qev050505_JNK0010 Suggest Curry
18 qev050505_SEL0011 Say that Ni Zain should go with curry.
19 qev050505_JNK0020 Suggest Peking Duck
20 qev050505_SEL0021 Say that Ni Zain should go with Peking duck.
21 qev050505_JNK0030 Suggest Potluck Hot Pot
22 qev050505_SEL0031 Say that Ni Zain should go with the hot pot.
23 qev050505_MSG0017 A savory stew of meat and vegetables...[ST:n ]Yes, that does sound intriguing.[ST:wait ]
24 qev050505_MSG0018 My family used to make it when we went camping,[ST:n ]so I can vouch for it being easy to make in the field.[ST:wait ]
25 qev050505_MSG0019 Roasting an animal whole sounds the simplest.[ST:wait ]
26 qev050505_MSG0020 Yeah, except it's not JUST a matter of roasting it.[ST:n ]Cooking Peking duck's actually pretty laborious.[ST:n ]Oranges, remember? Also some other goo.[ST:wait ]
27 qev050505_MSG0021 Not to mention that you have to find a duck...[ST:wait ]
28 qev050505_MSG0022 I can't say it's a very practical choice.[ST:wait ]
29 qev050505_MSG0023 Surely a dish called a pot of luck will bring fortune to[ST:n ]my people in battle, yes?[ST:wait ]
30 qev050505_MSG0024 Back on Earth, the word \"potluck\" was only exciting to[ST:n ]old grannies. It's funny seeing somebody so aggro get[ST:n ]so...amped about it.[ST:wait ]
31 qev050505_MSG0025 What is this \"aggro\"?[ST:wait ]
32 qev050505_MSG0026 Forget it. I'm not about to judge anyone for their likes[ST:n ]or dislikes. If it floats your boat, more power to you.[ST:wait ]
33 qev050505_MSG0027 But it's still a terrible recipe. Not a recipe at all, really.[ST:n ]It was silly of me to even include it in the running.[ST:wait ]
34 qev050505_MSG0028 So, all things considered, I think curry is our best[ST:n ]option.[ST:wait ]
35 qev050505_MSG0029 Understood! I would dearly like to try my hand at it.[ST:n ]Please, madam, train me in the ways of curry![ST:wait ]
36 qev050505_MSG0030 I'd be happy to, buuuuut... Well, we can use my[ST:n ]kitchen and cooking utensils, but we're still short on[ST:n ]ingredients.[ST:wait ]
37 qev050505_MSG0031 An easy matter to resolve. It so happens we are in the[ST:n ]presence of a master of such searches, freshly done[ST:n ]with finding my sword AND the recipes![ST:wait ]
38 qev050505_MSG0032 Saw that one coming.[ST:wait ]
39 qev050505_MSG0033 I trust you heard everything, yes? Then please, for the[ST:n ]sake of my people, go forth and gather the ingredients[ST:n ]to make curry![ST:wait ]
40 qev050505_MSG0034 You're really getting the short end of this deal, huh?[ST:n ]Well, thanks I guess?[ST:wait ]
41 qev050505_MSG0035 I am ever in your debt once more![ST:wait ]
42 qev050505_MSG0036 \"Curry.\" Even the sound of it has an exotic flavor.[ST:wait ]
43 qev050505_MSG0037 Despite hearing it described, I cannot quite imagine it.[ST:n ]Spices in general are foreign to the Wrothian palate.[ST:wait ]
44 qev050505_MSG0038 I do not even know what one looks like.[ST:n ]It is a mystery...[ST:wait ]
