Mingle Post! Our First Class Post~ [Action]

[netherworld_lolitics]

[You've all arrived by your own will or have been hustled into a classroom by a flock of stampeding prinnies. You've been in the room for a few minutes before your first teacher shows up, fashionably late~]

[It's some kind of effeminate flower person: Senator Trap!]

... why are you all here? This is class. You don't belong here.

[Sigh] Making my life hard.

Alright, whatever. I'm Senator Trap and this class is "Zen-Not-Giving-A-Care." I'd have prepared a lesson plan, but it turns out I'm already a master at not caring. So I guess that means you're all going to have to learn from my example as I spend the next hour and a half playing Tetris. [pulls out his myPhone.]

Of course, if you actually care about learning, you're already failing this class.

[Gasp!]

M-Mister Champloo! Are you saying I should be more proactive about the situation?

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

Almaz! Where is your strength?

[That isn't a rhetorical question. He seriously wants an answer.]

[abravelikehero]

My strength?

[That's a good question, I went through a lot of growth and became stronger, but then finding myself in an unfamiliar place is making me feel insecure again. Does that mean everything we went through didn't mean as much? Did I not really grow at all?

What would the princess say if she saw me like this!? I can't crumble! Not when she has accepted me and we were about to have our happy ending!

But what do I do... it's a lot easier to be strong with friends by your side....

No! I can't give up! I can't give in! I am Almaz von Almandine Adamant! And I am finally a hero with a title!]

I won't lose sight of myself again Teacher!

[He will, despite it all he had a pretty week constitution most the time.]

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

[Of course he will. But Champloo has faith in Almaz's heart, his internal monologues, and his willingness to listen to a Home Ec teacher.]

Remember, that no matter how bland the dish, seasoning may improve it! If the meal set in front of you is poorly cooked, then duty demands you honor the ingredients the best you can!

[abravelikehero]

But.... What if there aren't any good seasonings to use?

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

Then your appreciation must come from the heart, no matter the pain of your tongue.

[abravelikehero]

I'll try really hard to follow your directions, even if I'm not sure I quite understand them.

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

You are using your head too much. And frankly, that was never your strong point. Heroing, like cooking, comes from the heart!

[abravelikehero]

So as long as I act from the heart, it will all work out.

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

Sesame chicken cannot pretend to be kung-pao beef, and it will not be happy so long as it tried.

[abravelikehero]

Yes, it's important to just be yourself and no one else.

Don't worry! Though sometimes I might second guess my choices, I know that I should always follow my heart no matter what.

Though... isn't it a bit strange to be kidnapped and sent to a school? I mean, I shouldn't even be in the Netherworld.

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

If you find mushrooms on your porterhouse, should they not be there? Or do they enhance the experience? Only the cook may say which ingredient should or should not be where it is! If the meaning is hidden to you, it is because your knowledge would ruin the taste!

[abravelikehero]

Then, what should I do while here?

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

If a spice is on the rack, it knows it will find a dish in time, even if the chef has no meal in mind for it that night. But you are an ingredient that has experience in the Netherworld oven! Like a marinade, you may infuse them with the taste of knowledge!

[abravelikehero]

Of course! I should help everyone else who's lost and confused here. I can help explain the customs and what things mean.

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

Exactly! You will be the wine and soup that bridges the fish course and the poultry course, boom!

[abravelikehero]

I could try and make a pamphlet or something. How does that sound?

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

That... sounds like appetizers.

[abravelikehero]

A start is a start! I'll try my best to explain everything I can!
