Fifth Shot | Break Fast

[aceshighsniper.livejournal.com]

[A chef knows how to work when there is little food. Many pieces of cuisine (and the "screwdriver" drink) come from the need of providing a person with nutrition, such as turning an unappetizing clam into a tasty chowder with potatoes, carrots, onion, celery, and cream.

So what happens in one particular day after the rationing crisis at the Chalice is over? One of the cook is filled with glee, and readies almost a buffet for the crew to snack on, welcoming anyone to help her in this endeavour.

If you're here to eat? Chances are, it's here.]

Aaaaaaahhh!!!

[And it's enough to make her dive for cover.]

[fermionprincess]

Truly a stench most vile! Only those of stalwart determination may gather confidence to eat such a thing. Let us gather such determination - that too is a training!

Oh, lady Lynette? Is something the matter?

[aceshighsniper.livejournal.com]

I... I wonder why I even made it...

[Sob.]

Y-You're going to eat it, Alessandra?

[The "We" is what terrifies her.]

[emorangerpink]

Oh dear.

Is that... safe?

[Given that Laura was damn near floored by her proximity to the smell of it, she strongly suspects the answer is no...]

[fermionprincess]

Please do not cry! My demise here is very unlikely, so tears shed because of that will only go to waste!

I shall tarry no further.
[Grabs the nearest utensil, takes out a glob of lutefisk, puts her in her mouth, chews and gulps down. All took less than a second.]

...

It does not taste as horrendous as it smells.

[Minimal change of expression, but this is the first time you see Alessandra begin to sweat like that.]

[emorangerpink]

[Have Laura presenting a glass of water.] It's a fish, so maybe it'll be more, um... authentic in water? [Because she gets the feeling this strange girl would regard "wash the horrible taste down" as a slight against her fortitude...]

[fermionprincess]

Why, thank you very much! You are such a helpful person. Let us recreate the natural environment of lutefisk!

[Grabs the glass of water - with both her hands, and chugs it down.]

I believe the secret ingredient is lye.

I wondered why did we even have it in our food shipment... It's thoughtful of Dan to have ordered it, though.

[He's clearly insane.]

[fermionprincess]

Truly, a mystery of thoughtfulness!
