robowest | [ WEEK FOUR ]

WEEK FOUR

CURRENT POPULATION: 28

It's a rather quaint town when you get down to it. At least, that's what the Sheriff would argue. Warm and dry in the mornings and afternoons with a brisk coolness in the evenings. The perfect type of weather to just sit out on your rocking chair and observe the comings and goings.

... Of course, there's not much in the way of comings and goings when there aren't any actual people here to watch. Nevertheless, don't let that get you down! The town is your oyster and those roosters won't stop crowing until everyone's out of bed. Up and at 'em, rise and shine, it's time to make the day yours!

After all, there's nothing wrong with the town today and you might just want to savor it while it lasts.

This post functions as the general mingle post for the week. Wanted Posters and other small events will be posted in top levels below. If there's any questions or requests, please send a PM or shoot a PP to

...I believe it. Smells just like home in here.

[kind... of.]

Aside from, you know. The burnt part.

[you tried, milla, you tried.]

[she tried]

Does the smell evoke a certain sense of nostalgia from you? If so, I'll at least consider this a partial success.

Yeah, definitely does.

[for better or for worse, and there are a few reasons for that.]

Didn't really think I'd get to anytime soon, that's for sure.

Then I'm at least glad for that.

[. . .]

Do you know how to properly cook garula steak? I believe I could use your help.

Not sure if I can do it "properly" but I can.... probably manage to make it edible.

[he understands the fundamentals.]

I'm... not usually the one who does much of the cooking back home, but I've done it before.

Excellent. "Edible" may be a low bar in and of itself, but "edible" is far better than what I achieved on my own.

[MILLA. . . THAT'S RUDE??? towards Noctis and yourself???]

Who knows? Maybe together it won't be too bad.

[THANKS, MILLA......] Might have a better eye for it these days then I used to, anyway.

[she doesn't mean to be rude she swears. . . also she dumps the failed steak into the trash]

There's only one way to find out. I prepared an excellent spice rub for this steak, so it'd be a shame if we didn't get to taste it.

[rip garula steak, we will mourn the fact that you were burned to a crisp.]

Well... the worst that can happen is it gets messed up again. Not like much else is riding on it.

[all this wasted garula steak must really be hurting Noctis on the inside, huh]

Quite true. And nobody every learns anything without jumping in and trying it, first.

[it cuts deeply, even if it's not like, his favorite food.]

You got that right. First time I tried to cook anything, I burned it so bad I thought I was gonna have to throw the pan out.

Really?

[somehow, that makes her feel better??]

Then I shouldn't feel too discouraged by my mistakes!

[he nods, offering a bit of an amused smile.]

Least my screw-ups did something good for someone. [by encouraging her, apparently? it's fine.]

[you're a good guy Noctis]

Hn. . . I have the steaks, but I haven't thought about what side dish to pair with them yet. Have you any preferences?

Potatoes go best with it.

[and definitely like!! not vegetables??]

...Do we even have potatoes here?

Ah! Potatoes are delicious, and can be prepared many different ways. We should check the general store to see if there are any in stock.

I never bothered to look before. Guess it can't hurt to see what they got, right?

I didn't either, but that's only because I hadn't thought about trying any potato-based recipes yet.

[she smiles]

Perhaps we should go see what the general store has to offer before we attempt to cook this steak again.
