Summary: Liv and Papyrus host Wonderland's Inagural Inter-planetary Fod Festival!
The Story:

The stage has been set for everyone to have food from all over time and space, and Liv is possibly a little more excited about this than she should be. Her message with Papyrus didn't seem to drum up a ton of interest when they made their announcement, but she's hoping like hell this actually goes somewhere.

There's a table with Sharpie pens and little cards to write the name of the dish, main ingredients, and where it came from (plus the bringer's dish if they want) and three huge coolers filled with ice and various drinks like bottled water, juice boxes, soda, and beer for the adults (that one's labeled on top). Cutlury, napkins, and cups are taken care of! There's also music playing, the equivalent to what might as well be a random Pandora station not set on one specific genre of music. It easily goes from an Adele song to the Spice Girls and back around to something by Adam Lavine.

All that's really left, is for Liv to sit back and enjoy the day.

[ OOC: This is, obviously, a gathering post! Please top level, tag around, and have fun! ]

Banishing negativity? Wellbeing and peace? Sign her the fuck up.

Mikan nervously begins to approach - she's been having a rough time of things, with the boy she fell in love with going home to die, so anything that can make her feel better she's absolutely going to try. If she's allowed. Nervous nelly and all that.

"... Excuse me...?"

Misty is hovering about, feeling good about contributing to things. She glances up at that shy voice, offering a wide smile.

"Why hello there. You doing okay? Did you get yourself some jambalaya? It's my momma's recipe, and I admit I did a pretty good job on it too," she says, sounding proud of herself.

What a warm, comforting person. Mikan's nerves instantly settle by about... 2%.

"I-I was just about to ask, um, if I could please have some?" Even though the gathering was about sharing, so she didn't need to ask, some habits were just difficult to break.

"But of course," she says, moving to pick up a bowl for a girl with a smile. "It has a bit of spice, but I tried to keep that tame," she says with a laugh, trying to help her feel at ease.

Scooping some into the bowl, she got a spoon and stuck it in before offering it out to her. "You don't have any allergies, do you?"

Mikan shook her head no wildly. "N-No, I don't! I've made sure to take several tests to confirm that, but I also brought a bunch of epi-pens, just in case anyone has one and there's an emergency!"

Wow, that came out in one breath, new record. "... Um, th-thank you." She gently took the bowl.

"Well isn't that sweet of you. Not everyone watches out for others like that," she says, smiling at her with a nod. "Guess that's one thing no one is worrying about here. The cost of prescriptions. And you are most welcome. I'm Misty, by the way."

Mikan blushes a little at the compliment, not feeling she really earned it. A little whiff of the bowl... mmm, it smells good.

"M-My name is Mikan Tsumiki... th-thank you very much for the meal!"

"You're welcome, and I hope it helps. If nothing else a good meal means relaxation and peace of mind. I suspect most people around here need it," she admits, offering her a sweet smile. "I hope you enjoy."

Best to try it not, right? She s-l-o-w-l-y takes a spoonful, going very carefully, not wanting to spill anything. Mouth, chew, swallow...

"... Oh! It's good! It's really good!"

Misty looks away, not being rude and staring as the girl eats. She lets her enjoy the food, though she smiles widely in that moment.

"Oooh, I'm so glad you enjoyed it," she says, grinning widely. 'Thank you. It's been a while since I cooked, but I'm really glad to have a chance to cook for others."

Mikan looks up, nodding a bit in understanding. "Mmm... w-with that magic kitchen, diner, and closets, it can be really easy to go for a long time without cooking..."

That gets an odd look from Misty, making a face. "I guess it could happen. I don't know about letting that happen though. I like relying on my own magic."

Now that stops her mid-slurp.

"Your own... magic?"

Having dealt with her past experiences, Misty still doesn't rush to explain. The smile she gives is a bit shy and she ducks her head as she nods. "I... I was born with my own magic, and here everyone seems to be open about it, so I'm getting used to using it here more often. I'm a witch."

"Oh."

Honestly, at this point, why the fuck not? She gives this some thought. "... Is your body and health different from, um, not-witches?"

That is an intuitive question, and Misty can't help how her smile widens in that moment. She considers that, glancing up and then back at the girl. "I can come back from the dead, and bring others back as well. So I guess my health is different. My body was once destroyed but I'm still here so... I guess a little bit?"

She's never thought about it in these terms. Not until today.

Those are... REALLY GOOD SPELLS TO HAVE, WOW. Granted, Wonderland does that already, but maybe she can speed up the process? It's probably too early to ask. She swallows them down, going forward with her honesty. "Well, the thing is, I'm a nurse... I want to take care of everyone here, but since my world only has humans, I have to do a lot of research on the other kinds. Monsters, robots, ponies..."

A little shrug. "So... I promise I'll learn what I can, so I can take care of you properly if you need me."

"Oh, that's wonderful,' Misty says, nodding as she considers that. "It's good knowing we have those skills here. So many talk about the way you can't stay dead, but not many talk about what happens if we get hurt or sick. I do a bit of herbalism myself, so we should definitely compare notes."

Because if she can help others here, she is up for that.

"Wait, robots need nurses?" And that is what she takes away from all of that.

"We have a few robots living here." Mikan says with a little shrug. To her, it's no longer weird. "I guess, technically, they'd need mechanics... but! Everyone here is a potential patient, so if I have to learn how to repair machines to save lives, then that is also part of my duty."

A difficult part, definitely, but one all the same.

"Isn't that just sweet and smart of you," she says, nodding. "Not like we have mechanics or cars here, so it's good to know some are looking after them. I'm going to keep my eyes open. I've seen and met a few that aren't what most could consider normal, but not a robot yet. I admit, I'm curious."

It's just more of people being themselves in Wonderland, and that is amazing to her.

"Well, if there's anything I can help with herbal cures, be sure and ask. Okay?"

Sweet? Smart??? Those compliments make her entire face turn red, and she ducks her head, almost smacking it into the soup.

"I, um... I-I will, thank you... I... I hope you can enjoy your time here in Wonderland."

"You know, I really think I might," she admits, smiling. "I hope it's been good to you as well."
