WHO: anyone
WHERE: Daffodil's front lawn
WHEN: Day 32, mid-morningish

[ at some point mid-morning, a pasturewide cubecall goes out: ]

I'm holding lessons in Daffodil's pasture. Come if you want to, don't if you don't.

[ yeah, that's it. that's the whole thing. BUT if you do show up, the apothecary cat has set up several stations outside of her little workshop/cathouse: a makeshift firepit with a wooden drying rack, several large pots of varying sizes, and is currently in the process of chopping up a pygmidillo. and I do mean chopping. we are cleaving through bone here.

* For those who would notice, the ribbons in her hair are now Daffodil-yellow, but her collar is still black. ]

[She still looks a little tired and—since the last time maomao saw her—she's got some little pinprick scars around her lips and mouth.

But! She's here! She hauled herself out just for this!

And she's watching Maomao butcher the thing in fascination.]

Wow...

[apothekitty]

You just have to be confident in your strike.

[ WHACK, straight through the bone ]

[electricflock]

[i live here]

Do you have everything you need?

[apothekitty]

For now. It'll depend on how indepth we're going today.

I also promised that Caster girl on Clover I'd show her the basics of cooking.

[adorabrawler]

[ Watching the apothekitty go chop chop chop... ]

... What's this about lessons?

[apothekitty]

Learning how to deal with preserving food.

...And basic cooking for Caster.

[rugpull]

Thank ya miss doctor for yer hard work.

[apothekitty]

It is my hope that if people are properly occupied, they will cause me slightly less trouble.

[ WHACK goes the knife through bone, very casually. ]

[terraria]

( hefts a few jars and pots of his own from lily, setting them by her table. )

I took out a few of my preserves for your lessons. It should serve to give everyone a taste of what the end product is like.

—are you going to ( flinch at the cleave through bone...... scary. ) use that entire thing for a demonstration?

[apothekitty]

I'll switch to the smoking and drying once I've got this processed.

[ she is very casual about this. Penjie with the knife in the kitchen, ]

--But that's very thoughtful of you, thank you.

[electricflock]

[chirps at him]

Perci! Do you need more lemon juice for your preserves? I also have leftover whey.

[aididitmyway]

You managed to find a way to fit it into your schedule?

[afineknight]

[ Crois will just be hanging nearby to supervise if need be.

He is not smoking out of respect for his adorable and perfect assistant, too. ]

[apothekitty]

[ thank you dad you're the best

she's not as Activated as she is when it comes to her medicine and mad science, but she is definitely in a better mood about this work ]

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Watches him from across Daffodil's pasture for...a minute before coming over ]

Are you behind any of this, or is it all her idea?

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Watching this demo at a respectful distance, attentive ]

So it's gonna be a cooking lesson?

[apothekitty]

I promised Caster I would teach her that, as well.

But this is for food preservation, first and foremost.

[wants_the_phd]

What kind of preservation methods are you demonstrating?

[apothekitty]

Smoking and drying, first and foremost, though we might swing into pickling. Perci brought some end examples for a demonstration.

[belltolling]

[ CASTER ... IS HERE


she claps at the next chop. those are some Knife Skills ]

[apothekitty]

[ WHACK WHACK WHACK ]

This part is the easy part.

[stirtheblood]

[Edgelord has very little desire to learn but he is curious what Maomao is doing, so he shows up, sitting on the fence to watch.]

Whatcha teachin'?

[apothekitty]

[ she waves to him, with the hand holding the cleaver ]

Food preservation.

[secondbornsun]

[ here to Supervise which is to say he's dozing off to the side, comfortably settled in the grass. he does seem to be making some sort of token effort to pay attention but it's not going well. his attention is losing to the sunbeams ]

[apothekitty]

[ you are the most useless man alive ]

[survivaltricks]

[lessons?? what kind of lessons??]

[Lupin is curious enough that he makes his way to Daffodil's pasture, hands resting in his pockets. he looks well-rested; much better than he did yesterday!]

-- oh. Cooking?

[apothekitty]

[ she is giving him a quick DOCTOR'S ONCE OVER before she shakes her head ]

Technically, food preservation. Though I did promise some people I would teach them how to cook properly as well.
