It is kinda funny. Some Guardians get really agitated trying to figure out what they mean.

[The ones who get way too invested in doing a perfect job. Anby is too much of a slacker to care that much if the mission blurbs sound like something that came out of a 9th grade poetry class.

But reading the last part...she lets out a breath of relief]

That's good. I knew a seer who only saw bad things that always made her cry, and she thought she was the one causing the bad things to happen. I was worried you might feel the same.

I hope you manage to reclaim it.

[life_ethereal]

[That strikes a chord in Harumasa's heart.]

I can understand the worry, and I appreciate you looking out for me. I hope that she's not born with that in this life, but if she is and you find her again... I don't mind if you send her my way to talk to her about it. I dunno if I can help, but I can still try.

I hope so, too.

[burgersplease]

Okay, thank you. I'll keep an eye out. Her name is Vivian, and she's close to Hugo. If people from New Eridu keep showing up here, there's a chance she might too.

[She appreciates it though. She was worried about Vivian, but didn't really know what to tell her beyond "it's not her fault"]

Also you should try Sonic's Picklerita Slush. It's tart and pickle-y. Seems up your alley.

[.... yes she's been eating the food Jane sent her the whole time]

[life_ethereal]

Got it~ I'll keep an eye out for her. If you knew her, she might be more comfortable getting a recommendation from you rather than me going up to her to be like, "so I see the future, too!"

[A what?]

That sounds hilariously bad and I should very much try it!

[burgersplease]

I don't know. When I first met her, she made a show of displaying how much she already knew about me and my companion. Maybe it'd do her some good to have someone do that to her.

[You know, make her realize how VERY OFF-PUTTING IT IS]

It's unique, at least. They're a limited time item, along with a pickle heavy burger and some pickle flavored fries.

[life_ethereal]

... Creepy! I'll do that if she starts it with me.

[He has manners. Thankfully.]

Pickle fries????? I feel like that's a step way too far!

[burgersplease]

Why? Anything tastes good if you fry it.

[life_ethereal]

There are some things that should not be fried in that way. But it's fine if you like them.

[burgersplease]

They are ok. I think I prefer regular fries as an accompaniment.

[a pause]

I wonder if you could deep fry a burger.

[life_ethereal]

Yeah, that seems like way too much pickle in one meal.

[Harumasa looks that up on a search engine. And then he promptly closes it.

She must never know.]

If you could, that's a lot of time and effort without making it fall apart.

[burgersplease]

Indeed. It requires a stronger love for pickles than what I have. I'm sorry pickles.

[She know you're an essential part of a great burger experience, but there's a limit to her love]

Probably. You'd need some way to hold the burger together while it fries, but if you did it with string, it'd fry the string and you'd have to be careful not to eat the string too. Maybe there's another method though. I imagine it would take a great amount of cooking skill to accomplish.

I wonder if Lycaon could do it.

[life_ethereal]

[Damn it, now he's thinking about the technique and how the mechanics would work. Anby's pulling him into her madness. That's still not something he'll ever put into his stomach, though. His poor body is failing enough and it doesn't need that thing to digest on top of it all.]

I guess you could fry each individual filling, but you'd have to be very careful to not let it taste only of grease. Not to mention that the salad part is a lot more delicate to that kind of heat. You run the risk of overcooking the vegetables into a paste.

Maybe? He might find that a fun puzzle to make edible.

[burgersplease]

[This is why Section 6 has been acquired by the Cunning Hares and Sons of Calydon. They may be more elite and competent, but deep down they have the same brainworms.

But don't worry Masa-chan, if this burger ever comes into existence she'll take the hit to her body for her sibling's safety. Wouldn't be the first time. ]

Frying separately would eliminate some of the assembly issues. But you're right that the lettuce probably wouldn't survive the process. It'd be recommended to stick to the kinds of toppings that'd survive a deep fryer. I'm not sure how to avoid the overly greasy taste with this method though.

Yes. Victorian Housekeeping follows by the creed "Your wish is our command". No doubt if he was hired to do it, he'd work until he found the best method.

[life_ethereal]

[It's true. It's so true.]

Maybe the tomatoes would? But that would be some unnecessary texture for them....

... Do you think he'd try making it for $5?

[burgersplease]

Fried green tomatoes exist. They're tasty.

[She considers]

Maybe. Could be worth asking.

[life_ethereal]

You got a point there.

... I'd be so willing to witness this culinary endeavor. I won't eat it, but I definitely wanna watch.

[burgersplease]

[She considers]

Okay. Next time I'm having a bad day and require a burger with extra grease, I'll ask.

Time with my little brother and a burger will be a surefire way to cheer me up.
