Food Adventures, Thursday, First Period

[carbsliftthespirit]

Raiden, who totally had a black mane and tail and a backwards baseball cap on his head, despite his icon's tragic lack of same, had asked the students to meet him at Portalocity back when he'd assumed they were going to be, y'know, people-shaped this week. This morning he'd asked one of the gnomes to tape a sign to the door redirecting them to the park instead. Hopefully they wouldn't run into any trouble with the dinosaurs.

"Hey, everyponybody!" he greeted them once what he thought was his class was assembled. Had some random pony joined them? He had no way to tell. "I'm Raiden, and you signed up for Food Adventures! And we were supposed to start those adventures today, but, uh, I'm a pony." And probably some of them were, too. "And I couldn't reschedule our portal to anywhere with pony people, plus I don't know anything about their food." He would like to learn, though! "So instead we're going to introduce ourselves, and then explore our very own island! First I want you to tell me who you are, and a kind of food you'd like to try--either one you haven't already or one you want to know more about, both are good--and then your assignment for the week is to try something from one of the island's restaurants that you haven't before! If you don't have any money on you," because you were a pony, "just tell them to put it on Raiden's account. Okay? Great, let's get going!"

How are you going to handle food with your hooves?

Billie was not a pony. The mun was busy and couldn’t get a pony creator to work on her phone or work computer. she looked around at all the ponies and, well. Couldn’t help a twinge of jealousy.

“I wanna be a pony.”

"There's always next time!" Raiden said in hopes of cheering her up.

Nell was struggling with an unwelcome desire to nibble on her plants. Which she would Not.

"I'm Nell Ingram," she said. "And I'm up for trying just about anything."

Introductions!

[carbsliftthespirit]

Of the pony kind.

Re: Introductions!

[thatsmysword]

"What," Henry introduced, intelligently.

Re: Introductions!

[carbsliftthespirit]

An eloquent response, to be sure. "You're supposed to introduce yourself," Raiden said helpfully. "I can't tell who you are when you're ponies."

Erasmus had somehow made it to the park unmolested, which was great because he couldn't carry any of his charms around when he didn't have pockets, and he didn't know how he'd activate them with his hooves anyway.

"I'm Erasmus Boone," he said. "I haven't really traveled much, except for visiting my Pops in California, so...just about anything, really. We don't have that many restaurants in my town in Mississippi." He thought about it, then decided, "Crepes. I would like to try crepes."

"So, uh, welcome to weirder," Arden said, apologetically. "I honestly didn't expect it to hit this hard or this fast or I would have warned you."

“Two questions,” Billie said. “How come you guys are ponies; and why was I skipped? That seems most arbitrary.”

Re: Introductions!

[carbsliftthespirit]

"Sometimes the island just does stuff, and sometimes it just skips people," Raiden told her, wishing he could shrug like this. "You're right, it is pretty arbitrary. Or random might be a better word? I dunno."

"Ignis Scientia," the winged pony with an impressively styled mane and a pair of dark glasses offered with a nod. "As a bit of a foodie myself, I'm always interested in exploring what culinary treats there are out there in this world or any other, really. I'm sure there will be a good treading of familiar ground for me, but you also new know which new experiences might be waiting if you don't go searching for them in the first place."

Re: Introductions!

[carbsliftthespirit]

"Ignis!" Raiden exclaimed. "That's the spirit, buddy. We're gonna have a lot of fun and eat a lot of food," he promised. "And even if it's not new, it'll be delicious."

"Hey, I'm Arden," said the pony who looked like it was taking every bit of effort she had to not just launch herself up into the sky and fly around. "You know I'll never turn down proper Southern barbeque--" and now there was someone else to appreciate it with her, hi Erasmus! - but also I think more fusion cuisines! Make food taste better by shoving it together!"

Re: Introductions!

[carbsliftthespirit]

"Hi, Arden!" Raiden greeted her. Oh, they should totally go flying after this! "Barbecue and fusion are both great ideas! We'll definitely be visiting New Orleans, one of the most beautiful fusion cuisines you'll ever see."

"I'm Stark," Stark said, looking remarkably humanoid sorry.

"I think...I'm happy to try almost anything. But I think I'd like to learn more about Mexican food? And try more of it." He'd eaten plenty of tacos but hadn't really branched out much.

Re: Introductions!

[carbsliftthespirit]

You and Billie could use your thumbs to the benefit of the rest of them!

"Hey, Stark!" Raiden greeted him. "Mexican sounds like a great idea!"

Re: Introductions!

[singlenakedwhat]

"I'm Henry," said the other Henry, conspicuously not a pony due to lack of time to make an icon. "I've never had sushi, so like- that, I guess?"

Class Activity!

[carbsliftthespirit]

Eating While Pony.

Talk to Raiden

[carbsliftthespirit]

Who probably has eating while pony all figured out.

I don't know if this pony generator had a mane and tail option I just couldn't get to, or what, it was kind of wonky, but it did have a pizza-shaped cutie mark so I stuck with it.
