[The recording Aqua sends out today is short and sweet:]

I had an idea a little while ago, when more people arrived.

How about we all get together and make a cookbook of foods from all of our worlds! That way we can all try some new things or learn to make them and we can share a bit more about our worlds and cultures!

Fish is a big part of Japanese cuisine, as well as varying noodle and rice dishes. My favorite is called zaru soba, which is cold soba (buckwheat) noodles with a dipping sauce.

I also really like strawberry shortcake. Maybe there could be a page for that.

Ooh, that all sounds amazing! Especially that zaru soba? I bet that could go nicely any time.

[And he definitely has her at strawberry shortcake.] We could write a whole dessert section, I bet.

[thermoregulate]

It's a popular dish back home during the summer months, although I like it no matter if it's hot or cold out.

[ Listen, loving zaru soba is basically a part of who he is as an individual. ]

I can see that. Have many other people shared their ideas?

[betheirwayfinder]

With how whacky the weather here gets, who knows when summer will be! [A laugh.

And hopefully he'll be able to start a small population of zaru soba loving souls here.]

I've had a few people make some offers like tea, cupcakes and almond bars, and there are a few things that we'd have to experiment with a little to figure out what the recipe would even be. I should probably start looking for healthy meals to put into it at this rate.

[thermoregulate]

[ Honestly that would be amazing. Everyone should be introduced to the world of the most perfect noodle dish! ]

. . . Was the tea offer from someone named Momo?

[ He can't help but wonder with a bit of amusement. It would be very much like her. ]

Healthy recipes would also be a good idea, I agree. Moderation can be important.

[betheirwayfinder]

It might have been. Honestly, I got so excited over the cookbook and so many volunteers, I forgot to ask everyone's name.

[But she'll forward bits of the conversation just in case.] Is that her?

Mm, I agree. It wouldn't do to make everyone sick on sweets. That would be an awful start.

[thermoregulate]

. . . Yeah. That's her. She and I know each other from home, and we were previously in a different world, called Empatheias, before ending up here.

[ A nod to that. ]

It would. In general I overall am interested in what variety may become of this.

[betheirwayfinder]

I'm glad you get to be here with one of your friends! I can imagine how awful it would feel without someone.

[She smiles. And she can imagine it very well. Goofy is great company, and she adores him, but she still desperately misses Ven and Terra.]

So am I. And I'm more than happy to have help with more than just recipes.

[thermoregulate]

Yeah. It can be.

[ He had been the first from his world to arrive in Verens, and was so for several months before anyone else showed up. Eventually, though, it was back down to just he and Momo. ]

I look forward to it.

[betheirwayfinder]

I'll arrange a meeting of some sort. Maybe we can use some kind of town hall or office to sort ideas, make up a table of contents, and pick somewhere to drop off any finished recipes.

[thermoregulate]

Sounds good to me.
