Good to hear.
Ah, what other ingredients are you preparing for these lunch boxes?
Do you like having recipes to follow? Or guides?

[ PLEASE, kaveh is thinking, DON'T POISON YOUR FRIEND. ]

Let's see... Hiyori has suggested eggs, vegetables, and sausages as easy ingredients to start with in addition to rice. I suppose I could just make some sandwiches as well, but the color that everything else provides is too delightful to ignore.

But I won't say no to a recipe. Always a good place to start, that.

Oh. By the by, I hate to impose, but you wouldn't happen to know where one might find a spare microwave?

[fussiest]

Then, if you don't mind, I've been writing a few recipes for another individual here. I can simply copy those ones and send them to ou as well.
In terms of a spare microwave, I'd suggest taking it from the apartment next door to you, if it's empty. Why do you need a spare? Did something happen to yours?

[nomoresharks]

Helpful as always! I really must do something to thank you in return. If I can even come up with something to do so.

[he'd offer lunch but, uh...........]

Back to the microwave, I was re-heating some soup and happened to leave my spoon in the bowl. Thus did I learn that metal does not play nicely with whatever mechanisms are at play with the machine.

[fussiest]

Well, you're already helping with this project, are you not? Your musical talents will be irreplaceable. For that, you no longer owe me - in fact, I owe you.

And oh, dear. Were you hurt? Is your, ah, apartment intact?

[nomoresharks]

Perfectly fine, I assure you! It was a little worrisome at first, [understatement] but the microwave itself was the only casualty. And now I've an important lesson to keep in mind and pass on to all those who may need to hear it in the future.

[fussiest]

Yes, you know, I suppose that's a perfectly valid thing for us to put, say, on the Welcome Diner's board and somesuch. Just making sure everyone knows to keep themselves safe.
I'm sorry that it was at the cost of you getting a fright! But I'm glad you're alright.
Truly, the more I'm thinking about it, the more it makes sense: in your previous society, the manipulation of aether allowed you to create as much as you'd like, without the need for the steps in between.

[nomoresharks]

Indeed. While there are some of us who choose to go through those extra steps purely for the sake of their craft, the majority hold to the path of creating and perfecting the end result.

I've made progress over these past few months, but it is still quite the steep hill to climb.

[fussiest]

Well, if there is anything I can help with in that regard, please don't hesitate to let us know.
Your learning curve may be steeper than many others. I don't want you to have to go through it without help.

[nomoresharks]

My sincerest thanks. Hopefully, with a little bit of luck and practice, that curve may even out.
