This one believes that some of the offerings would be similar to those. Meat on a stick after all, is common universally.
[ just. sometimes it's mystery monster meat x instead of chicken! ]
Ah, and you will have to excuse one. Our world uses honorifics for all they interact with. The closest translation would be... hm, "Little Sister". [ until future ari finds out i hecked up and used the wrong one later BUT OH WELL TOO LATE NOW ]
[As they talk, she's getting into line at a food truck advertising Deep Fried Everything. Deep fried chicken, fish, potatoes, vegetables, those normal things? Yes, but also: everything else. Desserts, candy bars, fruit, and probably much weirder things appear to also be on the menu, and all of it deep-fried.]
So you're a teacher! [Neat!] Of... cultivation? What's that?
[ terrible how he's making I CRAVE faces at fried everything behind her back and bemoaning the fact he should probably be proper but that probably won't stop him from getting something for himself. thank u mcd's for giving him the excuse for trying new and better things....! ]
Mm. Cultivation is the teaching of spiritual ability, training the body and mind to reach power and immortality unreachable by mortal means.
[ he preens (sqq you didn't even do any of the hard work) ]
Indeed. Each various method of spiritual art has its own focus of course but with great power comes boons and benefits to oneself, which, in my case includes immortality.
It is, perhaps, better considered longevity than true immortality. After all, ones body is still human. Teaching one to guard against injury, illness, and nature is very much possible.
[ LIKE, YOU CAN STILL STAB HIM IN THE HEART AND IT WILL, IN FACT, BE PRETTY FATAL. He'll make you work for it but he still bleeds prettily in the end. JUST SAYIN' ]
[ well, here they are a new week, a new location. sqq so far seems to just be exploring out of curiosity and the general idea of learning but... the intense emotion of squinting dubiously sure makes it interesting to watch probably ]
... but it would be rude to just watch him from a distance, so before long, Amelia's coming up beside him. the feelings from this girl are curiosity and good vibes!]

Week 1, Monday
When she notices Shen Qingqiu nearby, she sidles over a little closer and leans in...]
I don't think I've ever heard of most of these foods...

Have you ever gone to a street market Amelia-xiaomei? It's quite similar to that this one feels.
no subject
[A beat.] Xiaomei?

What should I call you, then, sir?
no subject
Shizun is what many call me, having been a cultivation teacher in my world. If you prefer else wise, Shen Qingqiu works perfectly fine.

I've studied the spiritual arts, so I know how powerful they can be, but... immortality, too!?
[Well, maybe she doesn't know. Because like, that's new.]

Are you out exploring the new areas too, Shizun?
no subject
Indeed. With these new changes, one is curious about what offerings it brings.
[ until he finds the library. haha! ]
no subject
[is this sightseeing.]
no subject
[ it is now. they make the weirdest pair in PleasantvilleTM but surely they've seen Some Shit ]
Was there anything in particular you wished to see?
no subject
no subject
Indeed, perhaps we shall find something of interest.
