Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver says to you, "Oh, you want to learn by the oven or something? Or..."

Malarious suddenly shouts, "POOF!" and waits as if expecting something.

Malarious grows still and his lips begin to move silently.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver looks surprised and says, "I didn't wipe out any animal population!"

Deniana says, "Of course not."

Canniboss Kalas Malarious, Doomsayer says, "Lies."

Malarious is enveloped in translucent fire for a moment and is gone, his soul safe until he returns to Lusternia.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver exclaims, "I am responsible with the Ecosystem!"

Coraline points boldly towards the horizon and declares in a proud tone, "Onward!"

<fucking zoomies>

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "You are SO FAST."

You glow an astonished shade of mauve, eyes boggling out.

Coraline beams broadly at a pair of crusty clogs.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver laughingly says, "I got some help from some shoes."

You nod your head slowly in understanding.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "I can get up two...less than that, when I'm riding Delos here."

You reach over to a gemstone scaled seal with burning wings of flickering flames and itch his back.

Looking endearingly at you, a gemstone scaled seal with burning wings of flickering flames bounces to your side and buries his head against your torso affectionately.

Comprehension flashes across Coraline's face.

Coraline beams broadly at a gemstone scaled seal with burning wings of flickering flames.

A gemstone scaled seal with burning wings of flickering flames closes his eyes and smiles brightly at Coraline, though a sudden sound quickly draws his attention elsewhere.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "I suddenly feel like I could learn another trade, see!"

You nod your head sagely.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver asks a gemstone scaled seal with burning wings of flickering flames, "You're a cutie, aren't you?"

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "And everyone already thinks I'm a chef..."

Comprehension flashes across Coraline's face.

Coraline nods her head enthusiastically.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver exclaims, "It's because you've made so many good recipes!"

You ponder the situation.

You think to yourself: They might be good!

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Maybe they're just popular!"

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver smiles broadly and says, "They're popular because they're good!"

You nod your head slowly in understanding.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Maybe so, maybe so!"

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver asks, "Well, hmm.. what do you wanna start with?"

You use 80,000,000 of your divine essence.

You gain BeauteousThought as a supernumerary power.

You ponder the situation.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Pastries are good!"

Coraline beams broadly.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Pastries are filled wth taste."

You swell in pride as you choose to become a student of Cooking.

You have emoted: Shulamit swells up like a little bird briefly.

You have recovered balance on all limbs.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Let me see, erm, uhm."

You have emoted: Shulamit looks over the stove, poking it with a finger gently.

You request of Coraline, that she impart some of her knowledge of Cooking to you.

Coraline turns the pages of her own recipe book, flipping through some cookie and tart recipes.

Coraline nods her head in agreement.

Coraline bows to you and commences the lesson in Cooking.

<I've edited out the spam for this as much as possible>

You have emoted: Shulamit pulls out her own design catalogue, boggling as it fills with new recipes.

You have recovered balance on all limbs.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Hey, some of these are mine!"

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver smiles broadly and says, "Indeed, they are!"

You nod your head sagely.

You glow an astonished shade of mauve, eyes boggling out.

Smiling happily, Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver says, "It's the best feeling in the world, making your own recipes.."

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "There's so many pastries."

Coraline nods her head enthusiastically.

You ponder the situation.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver says, "Cookies, tarts, donuts...."

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Sometimes it is! Sometimes the food is mean."

You nod your head gravely in acknowledgement of the point.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver smiles broadly and says, "Pastries are the best! And everyone loves it too!"

You nod your head slowly in understanding.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Oh! Hm. Hm."

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Wow!"

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver says to you, "The antidote to mean food is..."

Coraline shifts her eyes suspiciously from side to side.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Like...all the ladyfinger designs are...mine?"

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "FLOUNDER FILLED?"

You have emoted: Shulamit gives a recipe book a horrified gasp.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Jolanthe! Terror!"

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver laughingly says, "Ah, that must be Jolanthe's."

Coraline giggles happily.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Let me see, hm."

Her voice a soft whisper, Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver says, "Sometimes, the best way to deal with the fear of making mean food is to intentionally make mean food..."

You have emoted: Shulamit peers inside the oven thoughtfully.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Oh?"

Coraline nods her head enthusiastically.

You have emoted: Shulamit looks out of the oven and up at Coraline.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "But you make good foods."

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver says, "Yeah, but sometimes, I make mean foods too.."

Coraline gives some garish peep chili stew to you.

You peer at a massive oven of salmon-tinted sandstone, eyes narrowed as you glow a suspicious shade of slate grey.

You remove 1 coal, bringing the total in the rift to 185.

You peer at a piece of coal, eyes narrowed as you glow a suspicious shade of slate grey.

You peer at a massive oven of salmon-tinted sandstone, eyes narrowed as you glow a suspicious shade of slate grey.

You put a piece of coal into a massive oven of salmon-tinted sandstone.

You purse your lips pensively, glowing a thoughtful shade of dull grey as you carefully gather your thoughts.

You can't bake in a massive oven of salmon-tinted sandstone that's dark and cold. Perhaps you should fire it up?

You light a massive oven of salmon-tinted sandstone, and work the bellows until the flames burn hotly.

You glow an astonished shade of mauve, eyes boggling out.

Coraline beams broadly.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "I'm not on fire!"

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver exclaims, "Ah, very good!"

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Oh! I should cook while it's hot, uhm uhm!"

You have emoted: Shulamit throws together something into a bowl, looking very baffled.

You quickly mix up the ingredients into a batter, and then bake a plum and cream ladyfinger in the oven.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver asks, "Indeed, you aren't! Hmm.. one of the ladyfingers, perhaps?"

You have emoted: Shulamit watches the oven with deep concern.

Coraline gives a magic spatula to you.

This large spherical oven has been carved from the same material as the room it stands within, the shades of pink that form it a perfect match to the ceiling it rises towards. A door of intricately embossed copper opens to a blackened belly, its innards charred by use. The conical chimney attached to its top filters smoke through the room, yet the scent of burning coals still fills the air about it.

It weighs about 486 pounds.

It has been fired and is burning strongly.

A massive oven of salmon-tinted sandstone is holding:

"ladyfinger383668" a plum and cream ladyfinger

1 items found.

It has the following aliases: oven.

You brandish a sticky spatula of Solstice peppermint menacingly.

"Ahah!" Coraline exclaims triumphantly.

You take a plum and cream ladyfinger from a massive oven of salmon-tinted sandstone.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver says, "Wield that."

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver says, "It doubles portions."

Glowing an astonished shade of mauve, you boggle at a plum and cream ladyfinger.

Glowing an astonished shade of mauve, you boggle at Coraline.

You glow an astonished shade of mauve, eyes boggling out.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "It's not..it looks edible!"

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver exclaims, "Oh, that's a wonderful looking ladyfinger!"

You think to yourself: I will have Coraline eat it in case it's deadly.

You give a plum and cream ladyfinger to Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver exclaims, "It looks very edible indeed!"

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Here, here!"

Coraline puts her nose over a plum and cream ladyfinger and inhales.

Coraline tentatively sticks out her tongue and licks a plum and cream ladyfinger.

Coraline rubs her tummy and goes 'mmmmmmmm.'

You cease wielding a magic tome in your left hand.

You begin to wield a sticky spatula of Solstice peppermint in your left hand.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver exclaims, "Oh, this is lovely!"

You think to yourself: She didn't die!

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Yay! I'm so glad!"

The fires in a massive oven of salmon-tinted sandstone start to flicker and then burn out.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "You are an excellent teacher person."

You nod your head gravely in acknowledgement of the point.

Coraline beams broadly.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver asks, "Am I really?"

Coraline flits about happily.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "The most!"

Coraline beams broadly.

You nod your head sagely.

You have recognised Coraline for: For teaching Shulamit how to not burn down the basin while cooking.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "I must learn...all the things! And cook shinies!"

You have emoted: Shulamit flips through her recipe book, boggling more at it.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Cakes!"

You have been recognised by Coraline for: A very good culinary student! The best-est!

You just earned 5 daily credits. You can earn 15 more.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver smiles broadly and says, "Cakes are just like... pastries, but bigger!"

Showing that you understand, you nod your head slowly towards Coraline.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "This makes sense!"

Coraline nods her head enthusiastically.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "I had theoretical knowledge, see, having made recipes, but that's not the same as actively not burning a bakery down."

You lean on Coraline seeking consolation.

Coraline falls over.

You give a horrified gasp.

You have emoted: Shulamit picks Coraline up gently.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "I forget you are small lady."

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver laughingly says, "I'm too small to lean on, yes."

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Since you are very larger than life."

You nod your head gravely in acknowledgement of the point.

You have emoted: Shulamit gently looks over Coraline, checking for bruising.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver exclaims, "Oh, don't worry, I.. am used to falling! That's how I learned to fly!"

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Oh, wines! You don't just throw grapes into a cavern then wait for them to rot!"

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Or...do you...."

You have emoted: Shulamit peers at a wine-stained list of wines, confused.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver says, "Well, you could.... but it's much easier to just mull them."

You nod your head slowly in understanding.

You think to yourself: What is mulling?

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "What is mulling?"

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver says, "It's when you.. uhh, when you squeeze the juice out of the fruits and turn them into wine."

Comprehension flashes across your face.

You nod your head slowly in understanding.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver says, "Like, you MULL wine, but you BREW beer, and tea!"

"Oh?" you exclaim quizzically.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Oh!"

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "That makes sense!"

You nod your head sagely.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver exclaims, "But you DISTILL whiskey and cocktails!"

Coraline explains that nutrition is as much a part of the cooking arts as is pleasing the palate, and that a well prepared meal can bolster physical prowess and overall health.

Coraline nods her head enthusiastically.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Maybe now I won't be just giving people rotting grapes."

You nod your head sagely.

Coraline giggles happily.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Wafers...?"

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Oh!"

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "OH!"

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver says, "It doesn't have to be -just- grapes! I.."

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver says, "Oh.."

Coraline shifts her eyes suspiciously from side to side.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "I didn't know chefs made the wafers."

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver says, "I've..."

You nod your head slowly in understanding.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say to Coraline, "Is something wrong?"

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver whispers, "I've never made a single wafer of purity dust in my life."

You fret and worry over everything that could possibly go wrong, glowing a shivering shade of silver.

Comprehension flashes across your face.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver says, "It's ...well, it's tedious."

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "I have enough dust. I will bake some later."

Acknowledging Coraline's point to be true, you nod your head gravely at her.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver says, "And not fun, like cooking or baking."

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "The recipe sounds tedious."

Coraline nods solemnly.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver exclaims, "And you gotta sit by the oven forever!"

Coraline bows to you and commences the lesson in Cooking.

You nod your head slowly in understanding.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "At least it makes a few at a time? But, ah."

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "A dedicated hunting person will just go through them."

You nod your head slowly in understanding.

Coraline nods her head enthusiastically.

You peer at a massive oven of salmon-tinted sandstone, eyes narrowed as you glow a suspicious shade of slate grey.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver says, "All ou hard work is just... gone in moments."

Glowing in tune with her words, you say to Coraline, "But isn't that cooking in a nutshell?"

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver says, "You have to make a LOT to satiate someone!"

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Sometimes literally in a nutshell."

You hum a happy tune.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver says, "But cooking is.. fun! And they actually taste it!"

Acknowledging Coraline's point to be true, you nod your head gravely at her.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "The wafers are so...dry."

You peer at a wafer of purity dust, eyes narrowed as you glow a suspicious shade of slate grey.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver says, "I doubt anyone remembers how tasty the purity dust was that they ate while they were hunting."

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "True, true!"

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver says, "It brings you money though!"

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "But they will forever remember the peep chili!"

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Oh, wait! That's how you...make dolphin...cubed. I wrote the recipe, but every time I tried, it fell apart."

Coraline nods her head enthusiastically.

You have emoted: Shulamit mimics making some deep fried dolphin cubes.

You have recovered balance on all limbs.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "You don't just...smoosh them."

You nod your head slowly in understanding.

You think to yourself: I wrote it, and could never make it.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver exclaims, "Platters are.. you can even imbibe them with health!"

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Oh, yes! Those are popular."

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Those and...whatcha...kabobs!"

Comprehension flashes across Coraline's face.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver exclaims, "In that case, your dolphin cubes can make someone go super fast!"

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Even if it's a delicacy and not a platter? It's fancier!"

You don't have that many lessons available for that skill's lesson pool.

Comprehension flashes across Coraline's face.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "I...think I've learned as much as I can. And I haven't burnt down the city!"

You flit about happily.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver says, "Oh, a delicacy!"

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver asks, "In that case, it doesn't do that... but ... it can be poisoned?"

You give a horrified gasp.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "I saw the book suggested such terror."

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "But I must never!"

Coraline nods solemnly.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Also, don't have cromatine."

You shift your eyes suspiciously from side to side.

You hum a happy tune.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver says, "I've only prepared poisoned food for one order, and I charged exorbitant amounts of gold to do it."

You nod your head slowly in understanding.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Good. It should be expensive and not common."

You nod your head gravely in acknowledgement of the point.

Coraline nods solemnly.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "I must go and hunt peeps, for a feast! Or something!"

You flit about happily.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver says, "Because people sometimes don't remember who sent the food."

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver says, "But they can always see who made it."

You have emoted: Shulamit kisses the top of Coraline's head, leaning down to do so.

You have recovered balance on all limbs.

Ready for a new adventure, you point boldly towards the horizon and declare in a proud tone, "Onward!"

Coraline beams broadly up at you.

You brandish a large, castle-shaped cookie menacingly.

Coraline Myeras, Flowing Quicksilver exclaims, "Ah, good luck!"

You peer around yourself unscrupulously, glowing a suspicious shade of slate grey.

Glowing in tune with her words, you say, "Outside, right."

Ready for a new adventure, you point boldly towards the horizon and declare in a proud tone, "Onward!"

Jolanthe

I'm glad those ladyfingers can still elicit a reaction sometimes.

Arix

I still like the durian cookie
