SHARPE'S MEAL ⚔ WRITTEN | ACTION

[ after the public relations disaster of his last broadcast, sharpe has since kept his journal under a sort of imprisonment: tied shut with leather straps and stuffed in a cloth sack, that sack being knotted as well. but today he gingerly picks it from its incarceration and flicks through its pages until he settles upon one he likes. and then sharpe picks up his pencil.

he writes three messages. as ever, his handwriting is scrawlish, ill-practised, and riddled with errors. none are filtered, although only the first is intended for community consumption:]


LUCETI -- I need to speak with someone who can cook a des--deecdecent meal. [ ugh this is borderline humiliating someone shoot him and put him out of his misery. ] Frogs need not apply, beecuz I don't want the lot to taste like cheese and garlik.

KATNISS -- I'm coming by before 12. We have our wager to settle.

MISS FAITH LONG -- might a man call on you this afternoon?

-- R. SHARPE

[ OTHERWISE the man can be found staring disconsolately at grocery items. some of these things have never before been seen by eyes such as his. in fact, some of these things look barely edible. sharpe's been in luceti for a year, but he just about never goes to the grocery shop -- not when he has katniss looking after him with her stew. not when he can still shoot his own game. but today brings his boots squarely inside this devil's shop. as he browses, he mutters: ] Bloody hell...

[ LATER, sharpe has taken up a sentry position at the bar in good spirits. he's drinking watered down brandy because he can't afford to get drunk tonight. he's on the lookout for a certain fire-haired giant of a man. ganondorf. for it occurs to sharpe that he doesn't know where he lives, only that he's often seen at the bar. so he waits. ]

Right, got it. So you want to cook something nice instead of just the basics.

Have you ever tried to cook before? Or is this going to be your first time?

So something nice but not too complicated, and something that can feed a group of people.

You could try some kind of casserole-- those aren't too hard to make, and you could cook it ahead of time and then just warm it up when the guests arrive. Then you wouldn't have to worry about trying to cook something while they were waiting.

I don't see why not-- you can make them with chicken or turkey, and pheasant is almost the same thing, right? It would just taste a little different, that's all.

That depends on the recipe. Probably some different kinds of vegetables, maybe some pasta, and something to make a sauce.

You haven't? Not even once? Does it not exist in your world or something?

That's okay-- it's not hard to make. All you have to do is boil it in some water, so I'm sure you'll be able to cook it on your own.

Yeah, kind of like that! If you can make potatoes, you should be able to cook pasta too.

Yeah, or you can put meat and vegetables in it to make a meal, or just put some sauce on it and eat it that way. You can do all kinds of things with it.

In the grocery store, yeah. There are all different kinds.

It can be fancy or plain, depending on how you make it. That's the best part. If you want it to be plain, you can just make spaghetti, but if you want something fancier, you could do ravioli or lasagna. Although those might not be the best things to start out with if you've never really cooked before.

Yeah, I get it. There are plenty of things you can make that look fancy but that aren't very hard to cook at all. I could even help you with it myself if you needed it.
