March Mingle Madness (aka SURPRISE it's another mingle)

[bryces_pup]

Who: Crew members and visitors of the SS Blue Fish
Broadcast: nope
Action: On the Blue Fish, naturally.
When: Throughout March!

[Another month, another mingle. Once again, any visitors on the ship should bear in mind that there are locks installed all over the ship, so someone on board's gotta let you in. Or you can just stand there. And stare. And hope someone takes pity on you.]

Ah, that's amazing! Congratulations!

[Yes he does think this is a high honour]

I wish I could do something like that....though I suppose it's all meat.

[littlecousin]

[At least when Nita looks smug, it's pretty cute.]

I didn't ask [she is the opposite of a picky eater] but it's not like you can taste anything under the spice, so it might as well be cardboard strips for all the difference it would make. Might as well ask them for tofu or something.

[save_the_souls]

[Well then...! He rubs his chin]

Hmm.....

[On one hand, it's been years since he's eaten meat. As much as he misses it, he's learned to live as a vegetarian after....the incident.]

[On the other hand, this sounds like an honorable eating contest. One that he would adore to be apart of. Allen wasn't one to step down from a challenge after all. A challenge he knows he can win. Would it be considered cowardly to these people to ask for a vegetarian option? He'd hate to come off as weak..........]

[God, this is so difficult. Don't mind him as he gets lost in completely deliberating thought.]

[littlecousin]

[Nita watches in patient silence for a good ten seconds as the Jeopardy! theme plays in Allen's head.]

Blue Fish to Allen?

[save_the_souls]

[Well at least that snaps him out of it]

- Ah! Sorry Nita. I was just...thinking.

[littlecousin]

It'd probably stop hurting after, like, a day.

[That counts as encouragement, right?

She doesn't know about the vegetarian thing, because on a ship where all the food is artificial protein glop, why would she?]

[save_the_souls]

[He laughs]

Oh don't worry, it's not the spicy I'm worried about. [He cracks his knuckles confidently.] It's more I'm still a vegetarian.

in which i contradicted myself like two replies apart??? oh well.

[littlecousin]

[Nita doesn't really get vegetarianism--you have to do things like kill sea monsters in gladiatorial combat to come of age where she's from--but she's a live-and-let-live type.]

What if we bought a bunch of their hot sauce and had a Fleet-wide challenge with the protein stuff? Equal ground for everyone!

[She's a helper.]

it happens!!

[save_the_souls]

[His eyes light up with that idea!]

Really? That could work....

Something like that, I bet Varric could be talked into holding it at his bar. [Crowley would insist he's too high class for that] I could only imagine how many drinks that'd sell.

it happens!!

[littlecousin]

Ooh! Western themed would be perfect!

[She'll probably turn up in a cowboy hat she found somewhere.]

Definitely need to find someone who knows how to cook, though.

[Nita is aware there's a process by which one turns hot sauce into actual food but is fuzzy on the details.]

[save_the_souls]

[He gives a small little laugh]

I'm sure if you ask around, you could find a cook that'd be willing.

[littlecousin]

Do you think if I just asked on the comms someone would pop up? I don't know many people yet.

[She's been spending all her time on the station, wandering into bar fights and hot wings contests and whatnot.]

[save_the_souls]

Well I can't promise- but it's possible! Some of the cooks here like challenges.
