[ arms wrap around their stomach to ward of potential tickling

...

...

Ginger.

[starrypoint]

Keigo...

[cmon...]

Your punishment is that I'm not gonna tell you the answer. Figure it out and tell me later, and I'll reward you. Okay~?

[adsum]

Is it konbu? Shoyu? Red pepper! Onion!

[ They're going to be up all night going through lists of recipes in their head trying to find a commonality between most of them, they're going to get this right and earn that reward ]

[starrypoint]

[oh my god!!!]

Mm~. I wonder if I should give you another hint~. You're a smart guy, but you're a little too focused on actual ingredients. ♪ I know you got this though!

[adsum]

[ Something you put in every meal that's not an actual ingredient...

... ]

Chopsticks.

[starrypoint]

Nope! Gosh~, at this rate you'll never get your reward!

[...♪]

Wanna phone a friend?

[adsum]

[ Who here can they call about cooking? Komaeda's out of the question. ]

I want to call Tarou-nii! He'll know the answer! He knows everything!

[starrypoint]

[i almost choked on my funnel cake fries]

He does, he does! Okay, lemme ring him up for you. ♪

[he'll take out his phone first... and then put that away... takes out his pda... better. he'll pre-set his usual font its

please use accordingly im giving you so much power rn ori]

@ r.amami
What's a special ingredient used in every meal, that isn't dashi, salt, ginger, konbu, shoyu, red pepper, onion, or chopsticks?
There's a reward on the line!
Please answer ASAP!

[ ...this sounds like one of Subaru's stupid riddles ]

[sisters]

who's asking?
just wanna make sure

( it's garlic or something )

[adsum]

It's me!
It's not an /actual/ ingredient.
What do you think it is?

[ Maybe it's a bowl... ]

Is it a bowl?

[ they turn to ask Subaru, because they can keep tossing out guesses in the meanwhile ]

[sisters]

oh? that's a pretty big hint
but i guess it's safe to assume it's a pop quiz from akehoshi-kun then?
different people will give different answers

[adsum]

That's right, it is!
So, what's your answer?
You can give me ten guesses at a time, if you want.

[sisters]

akehoshi-kun's the sentimental type
if it's not an actual ingredient, what about something like "putting your heart/feelings into it?"

[adsum]

[ "You're still overthinking it" they were in the middle of typing "sugar" because it's supposed to be something simple and what could be simpler than salt? Subaru would say something like "sugar isn't a food!" so it doesn't count as an ingredient, technically, or something

but then Amami comes in for the save

... ]

Is it your heart slash feelings?

[ ...

tap tap taps to Amami: ]

Would you say whipped cream and salad dressing count as food, or not?

[sisters]

yeah, they're edible
they're just not "meals"

[adsum]

[ good enough ]

Thank you!
^^

Subaru! Tarou-nii says I'm right and you're wrong!!

me struggling on mobile

[starrypoint]

Tell Tarou-nii he's dumb and he's getting a wedgie when I find him.

[how dare he not have his back. there must be a loophole in amamis words.]

Close enough though!

[kicks his feet... close enough, but he's looking at them the way you do an animal that hasn't quite grasped a trick yet. fond and resigned.]

Love. It makes everything taste better, so even the best tasting food gets kicked up a knotch and not as good food tastes special. See what I mean about overthinking~?

[adsum]

[ LOOK... look... they got a close enough answer, eventually, ]

Have you tried Komaeda's cooking? He puts a LOT of love into it.

[ They do turn out special, though saying nothing about taste ]

[starrypoint]

Maddy's got a way around the kitchen I've literally never seen anyone else have.

[this isn't a compliment. it's impressive, but it's not a compliment.]

But that's what Mom always put in her cooking, and it's what I put in mine too, so that's why you've gotta make sure that your feelings get across in everything you make for someone. Got it?

[adsum]

Yeah, I do! In everything that I make!

[ Their commissions... what would this person like? what would make them smile? would they be able to take care of something made of soft wood or would a harder one be better? varnish versus rustic, warm colors versus cold, there really is no other way to do it besides thinking of the other person because otherwise there would be no preference to work off of. ]

Cooking is just following a recipe, though.

[ exact measurements and time. maybe a little extra taro or lotus root here and there because they like it ]

[sisters]

any time, hope it's a good prize

[adsum]

I hope so too!
FYI, Subaru says you're dumb and that he's giving you a wedgie when he finds you, so watch out!
He's just being a sore loser because I'm right and he's wrong.

[sisters]

yeah? well he can try, it won't change the fact that we're right

[starrypoint]

[this is so cute... what was this thread originally? oh right subaru's not depressed anymore he's cured by keigo okay good]

Nope~. You're still overthinking it, Keigo.

[fun to watch tho. he'll sit on the counter and play with one of their keychains.]
