WHO: Lucia & others (closed prompts) WHAT: Catch-all for closed things, open top level may come later WHEN: Autumn WHERE: All over WARNINGS: Miiiight be some nsfw
[ There's a scent that fills the air in town square on one particular afternoon in Autumn. The scent is strong, hot when it hits one's nose and could potentially drive one to tears with how much it stings. There's a monstrosity being made inside of the Cozy Kitchen restaurant, making it not so cozy after all, but should Yelan peek inside...she'll see a redhead at the stove, cooking something that looks red.
Lucia, the chef, is sniffling as she makes it, but she's also staring at it quite intently. Under her breath, she mutters something about it not being spicy enough.
Intimidating, isn't it? Maybe to some, but for others, it's an invitation. ]
it tickles her nose and while most people would probably sneeze the moment it hits their sinuses and walk away from such an offensive scent, yelan finds herself trailing toward the source of the smell. the last time she's had smelled something similar was when xiangling accidentally dumped a little too many jueyun chili into her noodle dish and no one else wanted to eat it.
she waves amicably at some of the people in the restaurant, gesturing at the kitchen to ask what's cooking. it's only after she gets a headshake that she decides to take a peek inside, curious. ]
Need any help?
[ after all, she was told that no one else could stand it. ]
[ A new customer, a new face. She realizes that what she's doing right now is ridiculous, but if this lady was drawn into the restaurant regardless of the spice, then surely she must be unperturbed...
Lucia nods at Yelan and gestures at her to come in. ]
I-if you don't mind spice, I could use a taste tester...
