Local Dancing Goose Is Hungry for Culture Bread

Recovering from having a creature climb into my heart and take a few big nibbles is a terrible nameday gift. Would not recommend. 0/10.

So I aim to recover the lost time and beg to the masses for a moment of their time! Just a teeny-tiny moment.

First, context: I have an ability I wish to share with the class that is a little hard to explain. I can hear music in the world. Every battle I've fought, every time I go hunting, and even while I cook, I can hear a sort of music in the air. If you've ever attended an opera or any other stage play, it's a bit like that but in real life. Everyone I've met seems to have 'theme music' that I somehow am able to hear, and I'd like to listen to more of it. I'll even sing it or play an instrument to you if you're curious as to what plays when you arrive.

On top of learning new songs and stories to sing, I also obviously enjoy dancing. I'd love to know the dances from your culture! Please, even if you don't dance very well, I would still like to see it and try it myself.

Lastly, I'd like to thank the fine dreamers of Reverein for their help thus far toward the opening of the Lady of Bliss. It's going along swimmingly! I'm still on target, but a girl needs a day off.

Wait, so if I come up to say hello to you, some bitchin' theme plays. Well shit, I need to know more.

[songbird_slayer]

That tends to be what happens, yes. Everyone gets their grand entrance and if I told anyone at the time, they'd think I'd lost my marbles.

What do you think, Zhao? Want to give it a shot? I definitely remember something really blood-pumping when we knocked some sense into those wild dogs.

[seemagicshit]

No shit? So then you can play whatever you hear when we fight dogs and stuff like that?

This sounds amazing. Let's do it.

[songbird_slayer]

Exactly! Gosh, I wasn't sure if you'd be into it, but I should dreamotion the tunes from here on out.

You up for a hunt tomorrow morning?

[seemagicshit]

Hell yeah! I could use a chance to work with the meat too. Still trying to figure out some good cuts on a few things.

[songbird_slayer]

Like those weird cows, right? I'm still trying to find what's meat and what's just candy or something equally unfitting.

[seemagicshit]

That's for goddamn sure. Nothing worse than taking a bite out of something and you're expecting it to taste like one thing and then you're thrown completely off.

Even if what you end up tasting is better, it kind of ruins your expectation.

[songbird_slayer]

I'm sure there's some science-y word for that, but it's exactly that! It'll be weird going home and tasting the usual and wondering about the "that" that is missing.

Oh, by the by? If you haven't tried it yet, it seems something from my memories has appeared in the woods. If you see a big woolly creature with curved horns, that's a dzo! They are delicious. I can show you to some tomorrow. They marinate well and the meat gets such a good crust against the heat.

[seemagicshit]

I'll have to make up a word to describe that scenario.

Wait really? Can you also take the wool too? I don't know how to spin and do all that shit, but it can't hurt to take the wool to someone who can.

But hell yeah, lets go find some dzo and I'll work on the best way to cook it.

[songbird_slayer]

Oh, yes. My people would take the pelts and make blankets and all kinds of things with it. I'm no master of it, but I can skin it and prep the hides. I tend to trade things like that for cooking ingredients since I've come here.

I'd love to see what you can do with dzo! My favorite way of eating it is in dumplings. My mouth just watered thinking about it- I grew up on the stuff.

[seemagicshit]

Dumplings and meat buns, hunh?

I usually buy those because they're time consuming to make but new meat, new home...I can make them but it might take me a bit to make them great. Little spices here and there and cook it just right.

Yeah, this is gonna be a great idea!
