Who: Hakkai Cho
Broadcast: Video
Action: The kitchen of the SS Caprine
When: Now-ish

[ Hakkai is, perhaps unsurprisingly, cooking, and humming lightly while he does it. For protein-block-based food, it looks like he's managed to come up with a fairly decent stir fry. He smiles cheerfully into the camera. ]

Somewhat to my dismay, I seem to be starting to get used to the food here. I understand that some of the ships have designated cooks? Even among the ones who don't, I'd be interested to hear what recipes others have come up with to make the shipboard fare more palatable. Also, are there any particular ingredients you seek out when you have the opportunity?

[ Also, of course, this is entirely open to interaction from the crew of the Caprine/anyone who happens to have a reason to be there. ]

I collect what I can on the planets we visit. Upgraded kitchens have some staples, but it never hurts to barter for what you need.

I sort of... [He smiles a little.] I cheat with my magic to stretch the supplies out longer.

No, indeed, it never does. What sorts of extras do you usually seek out? There are so many different kinds of people here, I imagine there's a wide variety of cuisine preferences as well.

[ The mention of magic gets him a slight headtilt. ] How does your magic help you 'cheat', if I may ask?

Meat, fruit, sugar, flour, starch, exotic spices... I can make do with the protein they give us, but they ration all the real ingredients.

[He pauses.]

I can conjure food. It's a very basic skill for mages on my world, but I've refined my technique in order to conjure ingredients as well. They will disappear after a day so I try to only use it for food that will be eaten immediately.
