Hey. I'm looking for someone who can cook dextro. Or could learn to. My race can't eat normal food so I need someone who can cook with dextro aminos instead, and the sooner the better. I'm running low on rations over here.

What's dextro??

[ Because. Cooking challenge? Hell yeah. ]

[cadbane]

What race would that be?

Re: text;

[reachnotflexibility]

It's a protein. Most food uses the amino levo as a base. I need food that uses dextro instead.

[reachnotflexibility]

Turian. Quarians are dextro too, but I haven't seen any of them around.

[cadbane]

Mostly humans around here.

Is this why you're not showing your face?

I just like my privacy is all. We can switch to vid if you want.

[And on this end a blue-skinned, red-eyed alien being can now be seen. He's wearing a wide-brimmed hat and there are some sort of tubes attached to his face. His voice is gravelly.]

I'd prefer that.

I'm not sure if you would be better served with a cook or a chemist, but I'm a good cook, and used to working with diverse dietary needs.

As long as you can make it, I don't care what you are.

[Video] ((How do you even describe Garrus' looks??))

[reachnotflexibility]

[Garrus isn't sure what he's expecting, but it certainly wasn't that. He hasn't seen anything like the alien before him. Come to think of it, though, Bane'll probably be surprised at his appearance as well.

He clicks on his own video and a plated avian-looking creature appears with blue paint streaked across his not yet scarred face. When he speaks, there's a flanging sound to it.]

Happy now?

[captain_by_the_book]

I can't promise anything, but I'm willing to try. And if we can't figure this out by ourselves I'll help you track down someone who can.

[Video] That's where icons are handy. XD

[cadbane]

[The Turian wasn't something he'd seen before either, but he'd seen a wide variety of aliens before and there were enough similarities for Garrus to not seem too strange to him.]

That's better. I like to see who I'm speaking to.

[Video] Thank god for icons

[reachnotflexibility]

[Garrus generally does too. He's been mislead more times than he cares to share.]

Been ambushed too many times?

[reachnotflexibility]

That's awfully nice of you.


There's a catch, isn't there?

[Video]

[cadbane]

With the anonymous it's easier to get double-crossed.

Not that you were hiring. I'm not a cook.

[Video]

[reachnotflexibility]

[Garrus crosses his arms.]

Then why respond at all?

[Video]

[cadbane]

I had some time to kill and I saw your message. I merely wondered what you were, if you weren't human.

[Video]

[reachnotflexibility]

[Garrus scoffs lightly.]

And here I thought you cared.

[captain_by_the_book]

[ You can't know it, but you've managed to make him laugh, no easy feat. ]

You will owe me. I need allies in this place.

That aside, I'd be a terrible Rebel if I stood by as other species starve due to this world being geared towards humans.

[k2so]

I don't think I've heard about that kind of food before but I know someone who is...passable at cooking. He might be able to help.

[Ted's a decent cook! No gourmet chef, but the kiddies like it.]

"Huh! Never tried alien cooking, but it sounds like fun. What obstacles prevent you so far?"

[Cause, as much as he likes to save the day, it does seem odd that Garrus hasn't just...done it himself. Nova City had to have had this stuff. Is he just...terrible around the kitchen? To the point of starvation?]

Oh, and there's always mint, though I can see why you wouldn't want to live on it exclusively.

[reachnotflexibility]

[Allies for what?]

So long as it's for something I agree with, I'm there. I don't do causes I don't believe in.

It's not only humans. Most species eat levo. Only turians and quarians eat dextro. But I appreciate the sentiment all the same.

[reachnotflexibility]

Well that's not a very promising endorsement.

[Video] ((idk it turians can have mint?))

[reachnotflexibility]

[Was this guy serious? Mint?]

...Yeah, that's not ideal.

[He could should check the markets, see what they have, but he just hasn't had a chance to yet. Being Archangel meant leading a busy life.]

Honestly, I don't know if they even sell dextro stuff here - I haven't seen any other turians or quarians walking around, so there probably hasn't been much in the way of demand for it. I'm a busy guy, though, so I never really learned much about cooking. More of a fighter than a chef.

[k2so]

Perhaps. But the other option, staving, seems much worse.
