Hi, so... Quick question. I'm thinking of collecting recipes from different places and making a restaurant somewhere. So what are the foods people miss from home? Have you found something almost like them? What's your favorite dish in some of the big cities?

And like... do any of you have cures for motion sickness or indigestion from riding flying pokemon 'cause it doesn't matter how much space experience I have, my gastrointestinal tract has never wanted a part of any adventure on any realm of existence. If there's a noncorporeal plane to visit? I guarantee I'd find a way to feel sick on it on the first hard right turn.

[Mostly he's learned to just cope and ignore it but not dealing with it at all would be nice.]

ACTION - CLOSED TO LUISA

[He's made a few friends over the network, but he's not left the Sevii Islands very much. He likes it there, it reminds him a lot of where he grew up, but he does know he needs to get out more. Even if it means he needs to hitch rides more.]

[He's walking around with a Nidorina in tow, (though she's shambling considerably slower than him). A box of poffins in one hand and a lunch for Luisa even if he probably should have asked her what she liked first. He's got his gear out, looking over the directions to the meeting place with a confused squint.]

Well, if I can make some dishes here that are Galra style, then I should be able to make them back home. Even if I don't remember, I do it once, I can do it again, right? I really want to contribute to a peaceful universe and upcoming interstellar union.

[And maybe become a chain franchise tyrant.]

And that'd help a lot. If I want to get around here quickly, I'm going to have to learn to ride flying pokemon. And so far I go up and my stomach wants to stay on the ground.

[He nodded] I'd certainly be willing to share. Much was lost when Zarkon decided to focus on the military above all else. There was a thriving culture outside of that most dare not bring up.

Of course. I understand. I will investigate some of those who are aware of the properties of the plants around here and work on something from there. If you'd be willing to test it, it could help others with similar issues.

That's really a shame.

Since, you know, we're not fighting the oppression of a dictator and an overwhelming colonizing power, would you want to talk shop sometime? Lotor's nanny gave me some great starting insights into the Galra, but I wouldn't mind learning some more.

[Experiencing other cultures striving for success and liberty was the best thing about space.]

Yes, it is. Most of older Blades tried to keep alive some of our traditions from before Zarkon's reign. Unfortunately mine was lost with me.

Of course. I would be happy to discuss more about it with you.

[Most likely without "balen bol"]

We can figure out a time to meet or we can talk when I have a possible treatment to bring you.

[Which he'd get right on that. He didn't put off things]

I should be traveling soon! Hoping to, anyway. [Even if he'll be sort of a tag along. He's got a vague fear that he might be a third wheel after being separated from his crew for so long. He's hoping he's wrong, but at least he has a realistic perspective of people having changing priorities over time.]

So maybe we could meet up at some point? I'm going to be running a food cart, so I should be able to discuss food too.

That is good. We can meet up soon then. Which city have you been living in currently?

[Since there is the chance that they might be closer than they expect]

A food cart? What sort of food would you focus on?

Well... sort of a mixed variety.

Basically like, have you heard of fusion food? It's where you take two regional specialties and mix them. I want to modify some recipes from people like us with local ingredients and specialties.

Call it a 'homesick fusion' I guess.

[He still doesn't know if that makes sense, but it's the best way he can describe it.]

Some of them would be totally new recipes compared to what you find around here.

I see. I can't say "fusion" is something that I have had much of aside from what was available when with the Blades, but it is an interesting idea.

And 'homesick fusion' makes sense. I would be interested in trying it.

Ah, right. Right. It's a shame that the Galra empire didn't leave a whole lot of room for that kind of planetary culinary frankensteining. Everything ended up pretty utilitarian.

I really hope that changes in the future.

Yes, there was no such creativity allowed when the race was so militaristic. Perhaps you will be able to work on something here.

I hope so as well. There was much that could have been done which was not for many decaphoebs.
