Hello, prisoners of Landel's!

This is a message about old-fashioned recipes.

There are already organizations dedicated to Cooking in weird and mysterious ways, using just metal tubes and that kind of thing. I think maybe the History club also has people doing this now, I'm not sure.

But lots of people here can't do that! Instead, we're used to making weapons dishes in the old fashioned sense, with just our hands and the ingredients and some tools! On the short term, this takes longer, and it might not be as efficient as bringing together a pile of metal and instantly getting an order that night, but on the long term, I think we can make larger and more powerful weapons dishes if we work together.

I've seen other people talking about this kind of cooking before, and I know lots of people here are from different places and know about how to work with different levels of technology. Some of the people here know a lot about gunpowder one dish I specialize in, but don't know how to make it themselves. Other people know different chemical combinations that are really dangerous tasty.

The resources here are so limited, especially chemicals and tools. Instead of multiple people working on little projects, competing over creating separate stockpiles of ingredients and items, a lot of people working together in tandem for bigger projects could create much better things using all of our resources!

I don't know if what I'm proposing would be a formal Club, since I think it'd be important to make sure everyone was communicating with everyone else. But at least a more formal organization.

If you have talents like this, or if you're interested in that kind of dish instead of a magical instant sword, please let me know here or in person! I'm easy to find because of my long and handsome nose.

I am capable of synthesizing not only the inferior compounds you flesh-cre humans use in your weaponry, but also some of the more advanced and far-more elegant munitions we use on Cybertron. Do you have a sense of the variety of chemicals that can be found in this place?

[usoppsenchou.livejournal.com]

Some. We don't have a full list, there are still areas that might have chemicals that might be useful. That's another thing we need to get...

But there's other people from advanced times and places here too. I know a lot of people here are from a place that's more advanced than what I'm used to. That's why I thought it'd be good for people to come together, so the simple stuff I know that might be easier to make and advanced stuff like you might know can both be made.

This seems very interesting, and even though I am far more used to combat than I am the sciences at this point in my existence, I nevertheless wish to enlighten your organization with my presence and expertise. I shall assist in any way I can, Captain.

Both are useful, so thanks for offering! If you want to meet with me to discuss the sorts of things you were thinking of working with, or how you'd like to help, I'd be happy to.

But I'd really like this to not be too formal an organization. I mean... I'm posting this message, but... mostly I just want all the people who are working on stuff like this to be talking more regularly to each other. I don't even think I'm the 'leader,' so I can't say someone's co-leader.

[whiny-egomaniac.livejournal.com]

Yes, I think meeting you would be quite amenable. When would you propose we do so? I have no specific plans for the foreseeable future.

Any time tomorrow would be fine. I'm easy to spot because of my long nose (well, it sticks out for a human... it's very easy to tell.) I'll be looking for people who wanted to talk to me, too. If that doesn't work out, then maybe we can schedule one of the periods day after tomorrow to meet.

I hope you weren't writing dirty words at me or anything.

Let us meet, therefore, during the morning refu breakfast session; I'll likely not be consuming anything, so my time should be completely open to discussion.

[usoppsenchou.livejournal.com]

I'll look for you in the morning, then.

But I said Okay, sure.
