Fourth Shard [Action/Voice]

Once upon a time...

There was a prince who knew nothing. He was a prince who loved his people and wanted to express that affection by improving the lives of his citizens. However, all of his attempts to add to his knowledge in order to benefit his people ended in disappointment. Until one day, when the kingdom was hit by a terrible plague. Desperately, the prince turned to a traveling witch for help. He convinced her to cast a spell on him, one which would allow him to truly learn new information. The deal was successful, and the prince was consumed by newfound curiosity. He found himself traveling throughout the land, asking question after question, constantly adding new information to his mind.

However, no matter how many answers the prince received, he found himself unable to do anything other than asking more and more questions....

[So Mytho has had a few weeks that have been eventful in the terms of getting some of his heart shards back. First was affection, which led to him spending more time around Rue. Then there was disappointment, which caused him to be somewhat withdrawn. And most recently, he has regained the desire for knowledge. Ever since last week, he has channeled this into studies. At school, he would be noticeable for asking questions frequently about even the most minor matters.

And this week, he goes around seeking some specific knowledge: the location of Rue. He's unaware that the rogue Malnosso's droids had kidnapped her. So he's been wandering around town, quick to inquire with anyone he sees, especially if he knows that the person in question knows her.]


[Voice]

I don't know where Rue has. Have you seen her? I don't know where she could be...

[He can't stop there. He already has another question on his mind.]

I'd also like to know... How does this book work?

[But Emil just shakes his head to show that it's just fine.]

I didn't keep you waiting, did I?
knightofratatosk: (Headtilt)

[personal profile] knightofratatosk 2013-12-29 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Huh?

[That gives Emil pause, and he has to stop and think about it for a moment.]

Well, a chicken is a kind of livestock, and in most worlds, people raise livestock to use as food. Like cows, pigs, and things like that. It's an easier way of getting meat than hunting.
knightofratatosk: (Curious)

I don't know if I'd say she needs it, but it would probably be good for her.

I brought all of the ingredients for it, so if we go to the kitchen, I can show you how to make it. It isn't hard at all once you get the hang of it.

[And lead he does, right down to the kitchen area, where he sets the bag of groceries down on the counter and begins taking items out.]

I'm going to teach you the easier way to make soup. You can make it all from scratch, but that takes a few hours and there's not that big of a difference between the kind you make this way. This kind will be ready in less than an hour.
knightofratatosk: (Just a small-town boy)

[personal profile] knightofratatosk 2014-01-03 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
Okay.

[Once Emil has everything out, he divides it up into the vegetables, the broth and chicken and noodles, and the spices.]

First we're going to chop up the vegetables so that we can cook them in the pot before we put the chicken broth in. Have you ever cut up vegetables before, Mytho?
knightofratatosk: (Smile)

[personal profile] knightofratatosk 2014-01-04 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
Not really. You just have to be careful so you don't cut yourself with the knife by accident.
knightofratatosk: (Oops)

[Action]

[personal profile] knightofratatosk 2014-01-05 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
... maybe I should show you how to do it first, just in case.
knightofratatosk: (Blue sky)

[personal profile] knightofratatosk 2014-01-06 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Okay!

[He looks through the cupboards there until he finds a cutting board and a knife; that accomplished, he selects a rib of celery from among the ingredients, washes it off, places it on the cutting board, and then chops off the ends.]

Just make sure you keep your hands out of the way and you should be fine. All you have to do is cut it into little slices like this...

[And he demonstrates, slicing a few pieces off one end of the celery.]

See?
knightofratatosk: (Scarf)

[personal profile] knightofratatosk 2014-01-08 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Emil nods.]

I think so, just as long as you keep your fingers out of the way.
knightofratatosk: (Oh snap)

[Action]

[personal profile] knightofratatosk 2014-01-08 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
N-not quite like that--!

[Carefully, Emil reaches out to help him position his hand around the knife properly.]
knightofratatosk: (Ehehehehe...)

[Action]

[personal profile] knightofratatosk 2014-01-08 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
Um...

[Emil considers this, trying to think of some sort of analogy that Mytho might understand.]

... just keep them out of the way of the knife.
knightofratatosk: (Droopy)

[Action]

[personal profile] knightofratatosk 2014-01-08 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
[... this is going to take a while, isn't it?]

No, use your other hand to hold the celery, but be careful not to cut your fingers with the knife.
