On The Prowl

[flunkingspanish.livejournal.com]

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.

"Eee. Rrrrih-Din. It...big pla-ce, 'lots krrrit-terr."

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."

Like any teenage boy from Texas, Paco was going right for 'Inferno'. "That's cool. I like hot-hot."

Dip a chip and down the hatch!

Ack, sorry for the slow!

Hopefully he's careful. the stuff labeled "Inferno" isn't called that for no reason. Spice-wise, it's up there with the Naga Jolokia peppers, otherwise famously known as ghost chilis.

Thus, the nervous little gulp at first. He really doesn't want anyone hurt from his food!

Paco chewed happily and the "inferno" flavor rolled over his tongue.

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!"

"Pocko noh is hurrr-ted?"

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.

"Nope!" Paco said, wiping the sweat off his forehead. "I'm from Texas, we eat a lot of hot stuff there. This is really good!"

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.

"Wha-t be Teck-sis?"

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.

"Texas is a state in the country I'm from," Paco said. "It's known for breaking out the hot stuff in food, especially down near where it touches the border with Mexico. The city I live in is right on that border."

Oh yeah, that smells spicy. He's going to need a bigger glass of milk.

I am the queen of slow!fail

"Wha-t be Stayte? Is li-ke big Sit-tee?"

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.

"A state is a collection of cities," Paco said. "It's like a mini-country that teams up with other mini-countries to form one really, really big country."

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.
