Late Morning / Early Midday

How perplexing, a herbalist that held a disdain towards lettuce. He pegged her for someone that would've liked all manner of greens. However, a meat pie? Well, that was something he would not be able to make for quite some time. It's not like they have the wheat milled nor did they have milk, eggs, fat, or any of the ingredients needed to make the crust. It was something to look forward to then! "Well, when we have the stuff to make it then you'll be the first to get a slice!" The dwarf said with a big grin as his little legs carried him forward.

However, the group stopped when something green sloshed out of the bushes, something jiggly and glistened in the late morning light. "Oho, indeed a slime. Funny little things they are. One moment they are sluggish and the next thing you know you have one going for the head, especially this kind." There were many a time when he came across this sort of slime during his adventures. Now the first thing one would think of when looking at a slime is indifference, or even think that it is pathetic. Brom? He wanted to know what they tasted like and had caught many a slime before with varying degrees of success. Varying the operative word. Slimes are sticky and get everywhere and sometimes if one forgets to wash their hands then it can get to places... It was best not to dwell on that.

"Don't make any sudden movements." Slowly, Brom walked over to the woodpile and grabbed a particularly large piece before gently tossing it towards the slime to act as bait, hoping that it would go for the path of least resistance. If it distracted the slime, Brom would gently slip his backpack off and detach the cast iron pot and lid before circling behind it where it was hopefully consuming the piece of wood without a care in the world. It was capable of having a care.

With a glint in his eyes, the hand holding the big pot would swoop down with the aim to scoop up the slime while using the lid to push the slime into the pot and then close it in one clean motion. Surely nothing could go wrong.

Oh, one more thing. I realized that I forgot to give Brom a cutting board. Can I just slide that in his inventory?

A New Day; Cozy Fantasy Village Life

Looks like slime is back on the menu boys!

Genuine question, would Brom know if slimes corrode metal through his various adventures and being a guy that cooks things he probably shouldn't cook?

I was giving Zeroth a chance to post, but I'll get something up soonish.

Edit: Did sprain my wrist so that's why things have been slow on my end by the way.

A New Day; Cozy Fantasy Village Life

I'll throw something up soon.

My Hero Academia: Just Another Hero, Act 2

Seems fun. I am definitely interested.

@Xaltwind

So, uh, how acidic is 'mildly acidic?' Enough to ruin a cast iron pot?

Brom turned his head towards the sound of wood clunking together as it was heaved over and was greeted by the flushed cheeks of Akigatsu who had been working up a sweat collecting wood while Brom and Myrr were being idle. It was certainly quite a load too, but the blacksmith was correct in his observation that this amount of fire wood would certainly not last the night. Not only were they going to need firewood to keep warm, but they would need it for chores, cooking, and even just light so they can see their surroundings at night to keep watch for monsters.

The dwarf gave him an apologetic smile for not helping as much as he should. "Of course, that would be fair. Also, again, just Brom is fine." It seemed like the blacksmith was certainly set on calling him sir even though by all accounts, he certainly was not a knight of the kingdom. By comparison, Akigatsu seemed much more knightly than he himself could hope to be with his polite manner of speech and rather noble countenance that betrayed his chosen profession.

"We're probably going to need to go a bit deeper if we want more wood and find more food. While we are back in town we can borrow some tools to make it easier on ourselves." Brom thought about the tools that the carpenter back in town must've had and he was quite a jolly fellow so perhaps he would not be against them borrowing. Still, it did not sit right with him to borrow someone else's tools; they were extensions of themselves so they must be treated with the utmost care. However, given the situation it could not be helped.

Whether or not they moved back to the village, Brom would ask his two companions, "So, just for future reference do you two have any favorite foods or foods you dislike?" Given Akigatsu's manner of dress, Brom could infer that he hailed from the eastern countries. He had very limited experience with working with eastern ingredients and the ones he did manage to procure were always expensive, especially the spices.

Sorry, a lot has been happening. Maybe I can get something up quickly.
