Twin Roses Mingle

[passingthrough]

Who: Twin Roses and those who visit!
Broadcast: Nah.
Action: Twin Roses
When: Now and also later. Maybe before if someone wants to get wild!

[It's been a long few months with a rough landing on a less-than-inviting planet. The ship is flying again, but we've lost Makie. Still, the fleet drifts onward.

Welcome to the Twin Roses, Merlan. We hope you survive the experience.]

Agreed. Adding fresh fruit and vegetables to the menu already makes my mouth water. Fingers crossed for the next planet. I'm definitely interested in expanding the herbs and spices if only to improve the quality of our food.

[She smiles slowly, thinking about it.]

That's definitely within the realm of possibility

I appreciate the food-forward thinking. Who needs medicine, right? [It may sound sarcastic, but she's serious. The ships seem to provide for their medical care. They care less about flavor profiles and the previous plant curators on the ship had all been focused on medicine. Not that she was about to pull those plants out or anything.]

I keep hoping we run into a planet where they have ice cream plants or pizza plants. [Kidding...and yet they find a lot of weird stuff.]

[darksmokerising]

Mm. [Merlan offers a slight shift of her shoulders.] There's something medicinal about fresh food, too, I guess. Mostly, I've been thinking about growing food because when we're drifting out here, who knows what the next planet will be like.

Ice cream and pizza plants aside.

[She smiles.] Tell me about it. When we hit February I'll have been here two years. There were definitely some food droughts. I mean, there's always the space food. Not starving is good [and back home that wasn't a foregone conclusion. Food was scarce and not always safe] but I wouldn't mind some better storage capacity for keeping things preserved in between too.

[darksmokerising]

We can work on that as well. All we really need are parts and housing or I can work on a preservation warding. There are all sorts of alternatives, especially if we want to be creative about it.

[She's all smiles at the idea of creativity.]

[passingthrough]

I'm all about getting creative. I can't say I understand the magic angle, but I saw it be pretty useful back in my last home away from home, interdimensional abduction. And here too.

[darksmokerising]

It's been pretty fascinating learning more about magic, here, that's for sure. Back where I'm from I enjoy the engineering aspect of it because that's pretty much what magic is, well, that and cooking - I enjoy that as well. It's a challenge, like building or adding onto a hydroponics set up.

[passingthrough]

Cooking? You should've lead with that, my new favorite person. [Smiling.]
