[ 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.]

[She plucks the tray off her back with her teeth and turns her head to offer it to him.]
Uh'gah' oo shum foo'.
no subject
[His eyebrows lift, and he can't help blushing a little. He reaches out to take the plate.]
-- You are kind. I stole a few bites here and there, but for the most part, I have been too busy to eat.
[And that's why he's ninety pounds soaking wet.]
no subject
[Especially Applejack, although she's more likely to forego sleep than food.]
no subject
[Except when it comes to table manners. He pops an onigiri into his mouth whole, chews, and then swallows. It takes a moment.]
What are your friends like?
no subject
Hee, Twilight and Fluttershy are both kinda like you! Twilight LOVES reading and practicing magic, she's even a PRINCESS now because of it! Fluttershy's special talent is taking care of animals, but she's REALLY shy.
Applejack helps run Sweet Apple Acres and she's REALLY honest and hardworking and LOVES apples and her family! Rarity's a fashion designer, and she's really generous and great at keeping things neat and spotting little stuff! And Rainbow Dash is part of the weather team, and she LOVES racing! She's even becoming part of the Wonderbolts back home now, that's always been a BIG dream of hers! Hee, she's ALSO a lot better about taking breaks!
All my friends really REALLY love their jobs, but sometimes Applejack and Twilight and Rarity and OCCASIONALLY Fluttershy get SO wrapped up they forget to rest and relax!
no subject
Wait, studying magic allowed her to become royalty?
[That's not how it works.]
no subject
Yeah, it did! She accidentally switched up all our cutie marks and then she reminded us of our talents to get them switched back and then she wrote this REALLY cool new spell and then we all zapped her with the Elements of Harmony and when she came back she had wings AND a horn and Princess Celestia told us she was a Princess!
[Totally makes sense, right?]
no subject
I do not know what the Elements of Harmony are but I remember the significance of cutie marks and I certainly understand how difficult it is to write a spell as I have written countless for the sake of research, so already your friend has my highest respect. There are no easy shortcuts to royalty where I am from-= you are either born into it or you are not-- but the government is also staffed by magisters, who are quite skilled at magic. One does not need the bluest of blood to attain a seat, so I suppose the closest analogy I can think of is that she made a magical breakthrough. Her body mutated because of the arcane magic-- which isn't unheard of-- and she was given a new place... yes, it makes sense now.
no subject
Hee yup, pretty much!
Wow, your government sounds REALLY different. So how many royals do YOU have? We just have four princesses now, maybe five if Princess Cadance's new foal'll be a girl! Ooooh I wonder what kind of pony they'll be, I'm so excited and Twilight's REALLY excited to be an auntie!

[Oops, he ruined the mood.]
no subject
No, really that... gets a sad face.]
Oh. Well that's not good.
[... It gets worse from there, doesn't it?]
