Quest | Cult Classic

[actinggrandmaster]

[Jean wouldn't be a knight if she didn't go out trying to help people in danger. So when she heard of whoever this person was, getting into battles with random, sometimes unarmed, citizens, she knew that wasn't going to stand. After hearing that one of his attacks was in some sort of 'knightly fashion' she ended up putting on all of her gear from home, sword and vision included, before heading out one night.

She tailed him for a while, watching as he went through what seemed to be a script. She paused at the edge of a building to watch him for a moment, taking a page from Kaeya before just jumping in.]

I wonder what he's doing... it's as if this is something he's read... or seen before.

[scriptwriter]

It looks like we've got ourselves a professional LARPer on our hands, ma'am. He's so detached from reality that he believes that his world is a fantasy. The questboard did say that his chunni fantasies are getting pretty bad.

[The young man who approaches Jean will be Kotarou dressed up in a grey cloak with a long wooden stick in his hand. If they were going to beat a roleplayer, then he figured that it'd be best to fight fire with fire. He waves his wooden stick at Jean in a rather melodramatic fashion.]

Before we go in to catch this guy, you should tell me a little bit about the magic that you can use.

Pizza with Jean | Open

[actinggrandmaster]

[One thing Jean hadn't found yet in this place was a good pizza. Was it the fact that she hadn't been able to make one herself? Probably, in her mind. She befriended one of the citizens who owned a restaurant and managed to convince them to let her work in it for one early afternoon. Promises of sharing what she made and some currency made it a somewhat easier deal.

She arrived one day with ingredients for her favorite pizza, chatting with the people around as she worked on the recipe before throwing the final product in the oven.

After it was the perfect golden brown, she pulled the pizzas out, realizing she'd probably made a bit too much. Setting them on a nearby table, she chuckled.]

Well, I made a bit too much, but at least there are some people around to share with.

[asaviorshand]

[Dimitri just so happens to be in the area the same day that Jean cooks pizza. He had been getting hungry, and this restaurant was nearby, so he decided to have lunch there.

As he enters, his attention is immediately drawn to where Jean is with several pizzas on a table in front of her. However, Dimitri has never once seen a pizza in his entire life, so he doesn't know what they are, or what to think of them. Curious, he approaches, and notices that he's facing someone he met once -- back at the solstice festival.]

What kind of a dish is this? I've never seen one before.

[actinggrandmaster]

Oh, hello Dimitri. [She says with a smile, cutting the pizza with an available knife.]

It's called pizza. This one is specifically the Mushroom variety. It's something I made a lot back at home.

[asaviorshand]

Pizza...hmm.

[He takes a closer look at it now that he's right in front of the table. It does look interesting, and if he's not mistaken, that's cheese on top. He may have lost his sense of taste, but he still enjoys the textures of certain foods, cheese being chief among them.]

It looks to me to be cheese and mushrooms set atop bread. Is that right?

[actinggrandmaster]

[She chuckles.]

When you get right down to it, yes. There's also a tomato based sauce and spices involved. Together it tastes like a bit more than just cheese and mushrooms atop bread.

Have you never had pizza before?

[asaviorshand]

I haven't, no. I can't recall a dish like that at all from Fódlan, and this is my first time seeing it here.

[He takes another look at it. It looks appetizing, at least. If only he could taste...]

May I have some?

[actinggrandmaster]

Of course!

[She cuts the pizza and puts a few slices on the plate.]

If you want to find a table, I'll come join you after I finish cutting these.

[asaviorshand]

Thank you! I'll just get something to drink and then have a seat.

[Dimitri goes to the counter and gets a glass of water, then takes a seat at a nearby table. Unfamiliar with how to eat pizza, he ends up taking the fork and knife from the place setting and cutting the pizza into bite-sized chunks.

The texture of the pizza ends up being exactly what he expected, and pretty satisfying. There's a slight crispiness to the bread, and the feeling of the cheese and sauce in his mouth is interesting.]

[actinggrandmaster]

[Jean isn't too far behind with her own plate of pizza and some water. She does manage to catch Dimitri eating his pizza with a knife and fork, and chuckles before she sits down.]

Ah, yes, you did say you haven't had pizza before.

It's quite appropriate to eat it with your hands.

[And as if to demonstrate, she picks up one of her slices and proceeds to take a bite.]

[asaviorshand]

Oh! I wasn't aware. I assumed that since it was like a pie, I should use utensils.

[Dimitri watches Jean pick up and take a bite from one of her slices with curiosity. He then imitates what he watched with minimal difficulty. There was something satisfying about just taking a bite straight from the slice, and how the crust broke under his teeth.]

I see. This is more enjoyable than with a knife and fork.

[actinggrandmaster]

That's why I wanted to clarify. A lot of people wouldn't know, trying this for the first time.

[She laughs]

See, it's much better.

[asaviorshand]

[Dimitri continues to eat the slice in his hands, pausing a few times to take a sip from his drink.]

Do you spend a lot of time cooking?

[divinereaper]

[ naoto isn't one to bother many people out of the blue. but something about that wonderful smell of pizza made his stomach rumble. it had been some time since he had a slice, and now he was simply craving it thanks to the smell. following it, he finds a whole array on a table and a singular woman, and his eyes widen to the size of dinner plates. ]

Whoa!! Did you make these all by yourself?!

[actinggrandmaster]

[She laughs a bit nervous.]

Yes, I did. It seems I got a bit carried away in the end.

[divinereaper]

May I have some?

[ he's quick to ask, mostly because they look so delicious. naoto has a hopeful glint in his eye. ]

I'll pay if I have to!

[actinggrandmaster]

Oh, no payment needed! You can have some.

[She smiles]

I made too much for one person.

[divinereaper]

T-Thank you so much!! [ now that he's been given permission, he eagerly takes a slice. after waiting for it to cool for a moment, he takes a bite. ]

So good!! Do you mind sharing your recipe? I don't think I've ever had this kind... [ the japanese palate might be wild, but naoto's japan had much simpler tastes. ]
