It's kind of nice having two holidays in a row that aren't too wildly different from something that we had back home with Winter's Crest and Christmas, then New Dawn and New Year's. And, in the spirit of the latter, here's my goals for the new year -- in the interest of being held accountable. (If I'm going down, you're all going with me.)

1. Beat Velora at Mario Kart just once. I don't understand how she is so good. I think she practices in the middle of the night, when she's supposed to be asleep.

2. Learn how to make more than toast, cereal, and pasta. Something involving chicken?

3. Try not to focus on how I will soon be in my late 20s. (If anyone tells me that I'm too young to say such things, I will smite you. Pretty sure I can't do that yet, but you're going on the list if I ever gain the ability.) (I'm kidding. I won't smite you.)

4. Drink less?
And that's it. One can have only be expected to have but so much positive development in a year.

VEX
So, how are you d were your celebrations?

To each their own, however, your fourth goal is abysmal.

No, I agree. That's why I included the question mark, so I can claim later on that I wasn't serious about it when I inevitably fail.

Why fail? Make a noncommittal goal of drinking no more or less than you did last year and no one is disappointed.

That is a good, sound suggestion. I did drink a rather lot last year, so it ought to be respectable, even if I do fall short.

You are all too right. It would have either been you or Vex'ahlia, but she's in the same boat as me, so.

No. No chicken. You are banned from making anything that has chicken in it.

TWINS
Actually [...] really good? It was fun. It was a lot of fun.

Not even if I let you use it as target practice first?

TWINS
Yeah? Good. I'm glad to hear that you had a nice time.

[info]vexahlia

How about you let me use the chicken as target practice and then you find something else to cook with. Also now I actively miss my broom, so thank you for that.

TWINS
I think I needed it. I think I really needed it.

How was your night?

Perhaps Vallo will be kind and gift it to you, so you can fly circles around me.

TWINS
Then I'm especially glad. I've been a bit worried about you, but haven't known if I could actually help.

It was quite good. Different from celebrations back home, but that can be good, too.

You know, if the price of frequent takeaway is upsetting you, they have a wide variety of meals pre-cooked and frozen. Or some just stuck in a can.

Oh, those and anything that can be cooked in a microwave -- that I've got down. I'm just making an attempt to broaden the horizons, particularly for the youngest sister. I don't know that she really cares, but she had a bit more fancy going on for herself back home.

Ah, right. I can't cook to save my life and they just boil everything to hell at home, but I've learned that roasting vegetables is easy enough. Probably chicken too.

My meals were either cooked for me, foraged, or were traveling rations, so I haven't really tried until I got here so easy is the way forward. I doubt that these hands will ever be able to manage anything gourmet.

As hilarious as it might sound coming from me, I suggest watching videos on the internet for guides on cooking, it's how I learned to adjust to a modern kitchen.

In all honesty, age is a difficult thing to really measure for my sort, so I shouldn't be whining at all. I'm a half-elf, so while we don't get the very long lifespan of full elves, if all goes well I should make it to nearly 200.

Then you're pretty young. I only get 100 if I'm lucky and I'm already more than halfway there.

You're probably right, though it's an odd sort of dichotomy. Not quite human, not quite elf.

I've realized! It hasn't really been necessary before arriving here, but I've been giving it a go.

There's just something soothing about cooking, too. I find it enjoyable. What sort of things were you wanting to learn how to cook?
