video; un: dovahkiin (backdated to early Nov)

[fusrodaaaah]

Um.

[Wow, it's a rare show of video from Melius. The Argonian is sitting on the beach, in the cold, at his little tent. A lizard, in the cold. But he doesn't seem at all bothered by it.]

[He shifts where he sits, and then just. Straight up thrusts a basket of mushrooms at the camera.]

I was - I was um. [He ducks his head, hiding behind the basket.]

I know mushrooms! Really well! I um - if you need! To know! I can - I can tell you!

Goodbye!

[He shuts it off, right there.]

[... basically, Melius is offering his services as a mushroom expert. With a lot more anxious yelling than necessary.]

Comments

[fusrodaaaah]

They um... don't... really have a taste? So uh. You can kind of... make them taste like anything?

[Like tofu. You know, if tofu existed in Tamriel.]

[droptheious]

Oh, so you can add flavour to them? Like...spices?

[God it's so sad he has no idea what tofu is.]

[fusrodaaaah]

Y-yes. Or um. Use them like.


Bread.

[droptheious]

Oh.

Huh, I guess that makes sense? Maybe they can be like the tacos Shiro talked about. They're kinda like pockets, right?

[fusrodaaaah]

[ ... Record skip.]

Tacos?

[droptheious]

Yeah!

[He learned a brand new thing and now he gets to teach Melius The Thing too!]

They're like sandwiches, apparently, but also pockets?

[fusrodaaaah]

[Melius looks at the mushroom. Then at Varian. And then back to the mushroom.]

Varian it... doesn't have pockets.

[droptheious]

I...I mean I guess not, but you can put a filling in it, right? Like...like it's a pocket?

[What is this madness.]

[fusrodaaaah]

I... guess?

I guess you could do that?

[droptheious]

I guess so? It doesn't make a lot of sense to me either, I didn't really get the concept.

[fusrodaaaah]

I... hm.

That. Sounds like a pie. A - a hand pie.

[droptheious]

Yeah, I really couldn't picture it at all. I should see if anyone here knows how to cook one? I think that's the only way I'd be able to visualise one.

[fusrodaaaah]

Oh! Oh yes. Yes, you should!

I'd try one.

[droptheious]

Thanks! You can be my official taste-tester once I've figured it out. There's like, minimal chance of me poisoning you with it, so bonus!

1/2

[fusrodaaaah]

Varian... you can't - I'm... I don't get. Poisoned -

[fusrodaaaah]

[wait for it ...]





Oh.

[And there it is.]

That. That's. What you meant.

[droptheious]

[He grins, doing fingerguns at the screen.]

See! Then I know I can make them and you can tell me if they're...you know, detrimental to anyone's health who isn't you?

[fusrodaaaah]

Y... yes. I can do that.

But I um. I don't think. You'd be that bad.

[droptheious]

Your faith in me is very much appreciated, buddy!
