[ This is pretty formal for an introduction but she doesn't really know how else to address a large group of military strangers. Best to just post it and hope for the best... ]

Hello, everyone. This is Kagura Reika. I'm a recent arrival to Audentes; I would like to request for assistance regarding a few things.

First is acquiring a sword or a weapon of a similar size. My own was deemed unusable, and I'm looking for a replacement as well as anyone who might be willing to train with me during the downtime we have now.

Secondly, I'm seeking to learn how to cook proper food beyond simple meals. Please let me know if you can do so and have some time to spare, I'll repay any help given to me.

Thank you.

Buon giorno, Ms. Kagura. It's a pleasure to meet you. Regarding your questions:

I only have knives. I have plenty of knives, but no swords. If you find one, though, I'd be happy to train with you.

Secondly, I can make. Pasta. And chicken. So there you go.

[ Knives are... small swords. Still, she isn't sure if they will be any compatible with her Blood Arts. PASTA THOUGH. She has to eyezoom. ]

Thank you for your offer; I will contact you when I am ready, if it is amenable to you.

What type of pasta can you make?

[digiorno]

Of course; that will be fine.

Ah, well, just a few basic dish combinations. Different types of garlic tomato sauce, cream-based sauces, wine sauces, combined with whatever meat works best with the seasoning. Mostly chicken, I don't care to work with beef too much. It's really not that impressive, but I'm happy to share what I taught myself.

[p66]

[ That's already quite impressive to her, who's unable to make anything beyond the simplest of noodles. ]

I would like to learn all of them, if it's okay with you. It's for a friend.

I have a baton if that would be of any use? I am afraid I am either using the others or they are out of ammunition or do not directly belong to me...

As for the rest, I am not able to cook but I am able to bake if that would be of any use?

[p66]

[ What an interesting username. Was she really talking to a princess? ]

Thank you for offering, but I would not wish to burden you by taking what belongs to you.

Baking is a good skill to have, however. If you can teach me, I would be very grateful.

[assent]

[ Well she isn't one of those girls who calls herself a princess to look cute... ]

It is quite alright, I have other weapons I use.

Though you do not need to thank me for that. Baking together in a group is more fun than trying to do it alone, after all!

[p66]

That's very true. I'm glad we think the same way.

Do you perhaps have a baking session planned anytime in the next two weeks? If so, I would like to join you.

I can help with sword training if you haven't gotten anymore offers.

[ Don't do it Reika. Arima is a hard ass when it comes to this stuff. Save yourself!! ]

[p66]

[ It's not like her old instructor wasn't hard-ass... ]

I would love to. Though, do you know if we can acquire weapons for ourselves?

[prodigism]

[ But Arima is xbox hueg levels of hardassness. ]

I have a spare weapon from my time in Perdition's Rest that you may use to train with.

[ He's not sure if anyone else has anything to offer however. ]

[p66]

[ She's from a canon where she beats up giant monsters daily. She should be fine. Probably. ]

Thank you. May I ask what type of weapon it is?

[viscontree]

What will you do with your God Arc?

[p66]

I'm not so sure. Without maintenance, I can't use it. I suppose I'll follow your example.

[viscontree]

That's a wise decision. It's too risky to use it out here.

I did manage to acquire a standard sword from the previous mission. May I show it to you?

[p66]

By all means. Shall we meet somewhere?

[ it is always nice to see people on the path to self-improvement! ]

I'm afraid I can't be of much use with the former, but if you'd like to learn a few recipes, I wouldn't mind sharing what I know!

[p66]

[ There seems to be a good number of ladies here, which at least settles her somewhat. Dealing with men isn't an issue but having not enough women tends to bring up some sort of trouble. ]

If you could teach me, that would be wonderful. What do you have in mind?

[winces]

[ lmao not hardly enough, gurl... more than half of them are male. probably more than 3/4ths. ]

Ah.. it might be easier if you specified what kind of dishes you were looking into? [ she has. built up quite the repertoire. ]

[twinpeak]

why bother cooking when you can get anything you'd ever want from the kitchens for free?

[p66]

I don't think we will be able to use it when we go on missions.

In addition, homecooked food can be made with a person's care. It brings more happiness to other people that way, being something not a mechanical creation.

[twinpeak]

oh. yeah, I guess, but I've still managed okay

[ Guess who has never cooked a day in his life... ]

and if you ask me, food is still food regardless of where it came from

[ex_adept136]

I should be able to help you with either one, depending on what you need. Combat and cooking are areas I have plenty of experience with.

[p66]

Thank you, I greatly appreciate it.

I'm mostly concerned with acquiring a weapon first; without one I can't begin training. Is the only way to get one from a mission's world?

[ex_adept136]

That's a good question... So far as I know, we just have what we come with unless we're issued rewards for set tasks or mission participation.

If there aren't other resources available, we could probably make a practice weapon to start with.
