...

[sticks a finger into the pudding]

It has an... odd consistency.

[slobjection]

Just try it.

[ and it will change her world!!! maybe. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

I wonder how it would be recreated...? Hmmm.

[flayn is from a world where there aren't ingredient lists on packaging, so she goes to the sink to wash off her finger, then goes looking for chocolate and milk to get started on trying to make something that matches it.]

[slobjection]

So you're aiming to do it based off of looks and touch alone? I wish you luck.

[ she's really committed to this. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

It will be an interesting challenge!

[she's gonna fail hardcore.]

[slobjection]

I look forward to what you produce.

[ he shouldn't. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[he really shouldn't



but she nods and gets to work! the first attempt is, uh, an unappetizing mixture of melted (and slightly burnt, somehow) chocolate with milk. it's entirely too soupy looking to be right...]

It needs something to thicken it...

[slobjection]

[ wow it's already burnt....... how did she manage that. ]

Hm.... looks more like chocolate soup, right now.

[fishingforcompliments]

...that it does.

[time to dump it out, wash out the bowl, and start over]

Where did I go wrong...?

[slobjection]

Hm.... well, I'm no expert, but you may need to use more than just a fingerful for a proper recreation.

[fishingforcompliments]

Even with just the fingerful, I can tell I got the consistency wrong...

[slobjection]

Take another look, then.

[fishingforcompliments]

Well - I know already that it needs to be thicker. But I am not certain what to add to achieve that.

[slobjection]

What do you normally use to thicken things?

[ he could check the ingredients but he's allergic to being directly helpful ]

[fishingforcompliments]

I do not know. I am not terribly skilled in the kitchen.

[slobjection]

Me neither. What to do...?

[fishingforcompliments]

Perhaps we could ask someone who is...?

[slobjection]

I'll leave it in your hands.

[ he will never be helpful ]

[fishingforcompliments]

Very well. Leave it to me!

[they can reconvene for Pudding Experiments after she's had the chance to ask around]
