On The Prowl
Paco was a man on a mission. It was a very serious mission of the utmost importance.
Depending on the definitions of "serious", "utmost", and "importance" at least.
There were people on this ship that needed to either be recruited onto Team Have Some Freaking Fun, and there were people who needed to be marked down to be shanghai'd into having fun the next time the Team had a plan. There were also people who he needed to talk to talk to on general principle because they were his friends and what else were friends for?
In other words, Paco was bored and in the mood to socialize.
Denizens of Stacy, beware.
[[OOC: Pick a location! Paco will find your character and socialize!]]

Chirp. Okay, so he's still fine tuning his walking skills here and he's navigating like any caneless true-blind should. he's moving slowly enough to not lose his cargo, not get lost and not lose Paco in the process.

"What are you going to cook?"
no subject
Lesson number one in Rennese Cooking: Come hungry and be prepared for nearly anything. Grinning a little, the oddity makes it to a Sensorium chamber and immediately calls up his seaside tavern, plus kitchen.
no subject
"Whatever you do best, I guess," he said, admiring the view. "Surprise me."
Hey, alien food! And it wasn't like eating something that was still technically slop could kill him. Why not let the little guy go wild?
no subject
Squeaking, the oddity scurries into the 'kitchen' and begins preparations -- Sterilisation first, then the process of creating-from-memory some ingredients, Sensoriumising others.
It's not too long before sizzling and smells drift through the air. One's a sort of salty, seafood-smell. Fish of some kind, possibly crustacean. Another has an insane spicy-burn smell with an almost cinnamony back to it.
And dessert? Something light with a little bit of tang.
no subject
...Speaking of, he totally ought to put that down on his list of possible-meatship-competition ideas.
"So, were you a cook back home?" he asked, leaning against an out-of-the-way counter. Staying out from under foot was a habit you picked up after awhile. Mrs Reyes didn't tolerate people messing with her cooking when she actually had the time to do it.
no subject
There's hesitance there until the sound of a mightily impressive sizzle. At which point, the oddity emerges, bearing a smallish covered plate on his head.
"Rrrr-enne noh do coo-k un-till Rrrrih-Din."

And those last words earn a blush from the beastie as he uncovers this dish. It's a sort of sampler, with what look like pita chips and various dipping sauces. Labeled respectively from "Mild" to "Inferno", the creature makes sure this time, to warn about that one.
"Eee. Tha-t be Hot-Hot."
no subject
Dip a chip and down the hatch!
Ack, sorry for the slow!
Thus, the nervous little gulp at first. He really doesn't want anyone hurt from his food!
Re: Ack, sorry for the slow!
Three...two...one...
Oh yeah, there's the kick! Fortunately, Paco knows how to handle this, and the Sensorium can provide him with a glass of milk easy as thinking. Which it does and Paco proceeds to chug down until the milk chemicals plug up his tastebuds enough that his mouth no longer feels like it's on fire.
"Whoo-eeeeee!" Paco whoops, grinning widely. "That is definitely hot-hot!"
Re: Ack, sorry for the slow! (again, me!fail)
He hopes not. He'd actually lightened up Inferno a bit from last time. Then again, he doesn't serve Humans or Humanoids anything he knows could cause serious harm -- if he's not sure, he asks.
Re: Ack, sorry for the slow! (again, me!fail)
He probably wasn't going to go for the 'Inferno' sauce again, though. Not unless someone showed up for him to impress or challenge to a competition.
Re: Ack, sorry for the slow! (again, me!fail)
He's curious now, amid returning to the kitchen. Sizzles, clangs, bangs and various sounds of cooking ensue and soon enough, there's some pretty savoury smells coming out. Warm bread, some fruit thing as a dessert and...Oh my. That's insanely spicy, whatever that is.
"Yeu li-ke Hot-hot, eey-ess?"
Sly little bastard.
Re: Ack, sorry for the slow! (again, me!fail)
Oh yeah, that smells spicy. He's going to need a bigger glass of milk.
I am the queen of slow!fail
And yes, Paco. You will need lots of milk and bread for this course.
About ten minutes later, the oddity emerges from the kitchen with a tray balanced carefully on his head. It's got everything there -- a light starter, the spicy-as-hell main course and a creamy custard-like dessert.
Hope you're hungry.
Re: I am the queen of slow!fail
Paco was a little more cautious this time around. Smaller bites, with bread and milk already available. He was still sweating a lot, but he's not going to admit defeat over spicy food.
"Wow," he said, finishing off the main course. "You are a really, really good cook!"
The custard-dessert was definitely a relief, though.
