[ you receive loot: [mystery meat]. ]
Who: Belthazar and you
Broadcast: Yes
Action: On the singing planet
When: July 5th, afternoon
[video;]
[Though one cannot smell through the network broadcast, it certainly looks like there is a barbecue happening on the beach. Belthazar has a lovely bonfire built. A few metal grates form a cooking surface, on which there are various roasting vegetables and... gigantic racks of meat as well as oversized steaks.
He adjusts the camera feed so that he is also in the picture. He looks so very small next to these ribs. Just where did these originate?]
I have chanced upon an opportunity to try this world's cuisine... by cooking it myself. From what I gathered of the beast-- or rather, what many men gathered, and I observed-- it appeared to be some kind of stegodon. In laymen's terms, it was a giant lizard.
Naturally I find myself with an abundance of meat. It is certainly enough for experimentation, but I cannot possibly eat all of this myself. If you have any interest in trying gigantic lizard served twenty different ways, by all means, come and find me: I will be on the beach for another two or three hours, probably. For those who would prefer a meatless option, I've made plenty of other fodder as well.
[He pauses like he wants to say something else, but then opts not to.]

[action;]
[As promised, there is a huge cookout going on at the beach. Belthazar has converted at least six picnic tables into a buffet line. The main dish is, of course, giant lizard; the creature's corpse is nowhere to be seen, as it's already been butchered and quartered and fifthed and sixthed, and then those pieces were hauled out of the forest so as to not attract any unsavory company. There truly are a dozen ways to sample a dinosaur: traditional filet mignon approach, perfectly-seasoned gigantic ribs, marinaded, cubed, ground and combined with herbs and cheese, battered and fried, breaded, sliced thin and boiled, stewed...
And then there are the side dishes: fancy as fuck macaroni and cheese, something like asparagus, salad that isn't totally green, potato salad of some kind, whatever the fuck this is, stinky curry, and then, for no particular reason at all, onigiri. (He needed the practice.)
There's a lot of food, so it makes sense that he's exhausted; if he isn't struggling to flip his Texas-sized steaks, he can be found nodding off in the sand.]

Action
He can be found with various meats cradled in one arm, wile his free hand is busy shoving as much of it into his mouth as possible. He's probably been at this for a while and shows no sign of stopping. Seriously, where does all the food go? It's like a mystery of the universe or something. ]
no subject
Oh. Er, hello. When did you...?
[Holy shit, he's eating a lot. He trails off and just... stares.]
no subject
'Ey! Gud fud. You' th' 'est!
[Chew chew swallow. Down it goes. ]
How long did it take you to cook all of this? It's huge!
no subject
[It's really been too long since he fed Sokka and Allen. He forgot all about this.]
Two, maybe three hours? I'm not finished, though.
no subject
Really? There's gonna be more?
no subject
[He still doesn't quite believe it.]
... Are you sure you can eat all of that?
no subject
[Chew, chew, swallow. Sokka grins in Belth's direction. ]
Pfft, please. This is easy. I can eat way more.
no subject
... Teach me your ways.
no subject
I don't know if it can be taught, but sure. I'll give it a shot.
no subject
How do you fit it all? Is it pacing? Breathing? Something else? No doubt you've noticed that I am somewhat... vertically challenged, and so I have always been hopeful that if I eat enough, I might make up for lost time and grow as I should have.
no subject
I dunno. I just...eat it? But maybe if you eat enough red meat you'll grow some. That's why a friend of mine was so short, I think. Only ate vegetables and fruit.
no subject
That is sage advice. I have not yet reached the end of my maturity, I think, so there is still time...!
[He balls his hands into fists beneath his long sleeves and looks determined as hell. He looks over the racks of marinating steak that has yet to be cooked.]
I will have to eat more meat. None of this gelatinous stuff I am forced to cook with otherwise.
no subject
[Sokka, no. ]
That's the spirit! If you ever need extra meat, we've always got lots on the Blue Fish, and I can always hunt a little extra when we hit a planet with good game.
no subject
[BELTHAZAR, NO.]
Thank you for the offer; it is generous. Do you have a chef? Or should I resume making meals and sending them to you?
no subject
[Sokka that isn't even a WORD. ]
We're still horribly cookless. It's a tragedy, so please, please send us food. I don't want us to starve to death. That's not how I want to go.
