Subject: Paopu Fruit

hey, did you guys notice the huge fruit tree that showed up near the new ocean? it's got big giant yellow star-shaped fruits growing from it that are called paopu fruit. they taste like a pineapple mixed with a pear. sounds pretty tasty, right?

there's also a legend back home about these fruits. i thought you might wanna know.

"If two people share one, their destinies become intertwined. They'll remain a part of each other's lives no matter what."

i've always liked that legend a lot. i don't know if it's true for sure but it's nice to think that if you share one with someone really special to you that you can always be a part of each other's lives. if that doesn't sound like love, i don't know what is. it might be nice to try it with someone sometime, huh? go for it!

Heh, sounds romantic.

Be nice to have it as part of a dish, personally cooked with love. Could think of a dozen recipes that would use that fruit well.

[oathkeeper]

yeah! it does!! mega romantic!

are you a big foodie? it's a lot like pineapple so the only thing i really know is pineapple pizza

[chefalier]

Damn right. I'm a cook-- a love cook.

It's versatile, not just as toppings for pizza. I'll have to take a sample of this paopu fruit and work from there. Even if it tastes like pineapple, doesn't mean it can be cooked the same way.

[oathkeeper]

whoa that sounds intense. what does a love cook do?? do you make love chocolates or something?

if i get you a paopu fruit could you show me what you could do with it?!

[chefalier]

Just means I cook everything from the heart, not just chocolate. Every meal has all my love in it~ Especially if it's for a lady.

[But guess guys can eat his food too.]

Yeah, sure. Got someone special to share a paopu fruit here?

[oathkeeper]

whoaaa!! that's so cool? do you have a lot of ladies because of it??

[This dude is not maidenless, for sure.]

i've already shared a paopu fruit with two people. but i still think it would be awesome to learn new things i could cook with it!

[chefalier]

I'm a lover to all ladies.

[Although, he's really done nothing with any lady. At most, a hug, but nothing's gotten any further than that.]

Yeah? Couldn't hurt to share a dish or drink mixed with the fruit though. Make it extra special since you cooked it from the heart.

[oathkeeper]

that sounds like a ton of work!

[He can't imagine having multiple ladies!! Nevermind that Sora just said he's shared his fruit with two people already.]

haha yeah! a drink or dessert would be the best!

[chefalier]

Every lady deserves to be treated with respect and love, Sora.

[He'd work himself to the bone if he could serve every lovely lady out there...!]

Heh, sure. How familiar are you with cooking?

[oathkeeper]

no doubt! but wouldn't it be easier if you treated one like a queen? it would make her feel the most special!

as for cooking, im pretty okay at it. i used to help my friend in his restaurant so he taught me a lot of french dishes?

[chefalier]

They all deserve to be treated like a queen! But I'd love to settle with a lovely lady eventually.

[Not here though, back home, after their adventure is over.]

Eh, it's a starting point. I won't go easy on you just because you're inexperienced. Do you have a working kitchen?

[oathkeeper]

heh you're right about that! and i hope you find the one for you soon then!

i don't want you to go easy on me! i want the crash course, okay?! and yeah i got a kitchen, it's not that big though. but it's got all the stuff!

[chefalier]

[Heh, guess this Sora person isn't bad.]

Long as you have the right equipment, that's all we need. Alright, when are you free? Have the fruit ready and I'll bring everything else.

[oathkeeper]

i'm pretty much free whenever! i help out with the greenhouse and communal garden every week but other than that i'm free as a bird!

I'll start by getting enough paopu fruit to work with! a whole basket of them should be good, right?

[chefalier]

Definitely enough. The more fruit you bring, the more cool shit I'll be able to show you.

Luckily, I don't have a restaurant to run or a crew to constantly feed, so I can spare some time whenever to help you. You're gonna get a lesson from a first-class chef.

[oathkeeper]

haha that's awesome i can't wait!!

thanks, you're the coolest ever!
