    Footsteps echoed in the stagnant air of an abandoned factory. Sunlight poured in through cracks in the ceiling, yet those inside still had to squint to see anything in front of them. It was all so dull, and a bored W was the worst kind to have around. She was still on edge taking orders from Rhodes Island’s doctors thanks to her history with them, but excitement seemed to follow them wherever they went.    Mama John’s had reached out to Rhodes Island to clear out a factory platform following its rediscovery. Details were sparse in what they produced here but it had to be food related at the very least. It was far less excitin

    Winter came and went as Spring’s foothold on the nation of Askr grew firm. The flowers grew vibrant with each day, and all the tiny animals came out to relish in newfound warmth. The season marked a new beginning in many ways, not least of all in the festivities. From Firene to Solm, Chloe was fond of celebrations. If nothing else, they were a sure fire way to sample some of a culture’s best food. Even now the lovely aroma of freshly baked cactus bread and sizzling serpent meat made her mouth water.    “To think there was ever a realm brimming with so many delicious cuisines! Why, it’s like a melting pot of meltin

    Zhloe (Weight Gain)    Pineapple pudding was the pinnacle of culinary treats as far as Zhloe was concerned. The sweet, creamy mixture filled her up like nothing else and was easy to fit into her tight budget. One gourd of the stuff would last her weeks and gain new flavors and textures the whole time. It was amazing! But as time went on and Ms. Aliapoh’s orphanage drew aid from more patrons, the young woman found her tastes expanding (among other things).    “Mmm! Y’know I don’t get why people are so defensive over pizza toppings: it all tastes great together!”    Currently, Zhloe was on her lunch break--h

    Darkness and water flowed around a lone figure. Ch’en felt at peace, as if for once in her life she could let loose all the stress she had balled up inside her. Of course she still held her breath as she remained just under the surface.    Three… two… one…    “Fwaaaaah!”    The still surface broke as Ch’en came up for air. She had been on break for long enough. It was time to get back to training.    Despite how far off the summer season was, some cities had set plans in motion. Dossoles was no different. Following her performance in the city’s previous Warrior Championship, Ch’en

    Among all the cuisines she had experienced on her adventures, Altani was at a loss to pick out her favorite. Steppe buuz remained her favorite with its pillowy outer bun and salty meat inside. The ramen houses of Kugane impressed her with the balance of chewy noodles and savory broth topped with vibrant green onions and perfectly browned cuts of pork. As time went on and her journal filled with more and more notes on local delicacies Altani learned Eorzeans had a word for her interests: a foodie.    GRLGLLMM…    “Haaaaah… Never have I partook in such a delicious meal…”    Altani’s long black coat st

    In the chaotic mess that was a person's life, setbacks were only natural. To go through all of one's years and see only good fortune was impossible. Edelgard knew as much. Her life had never been a simple one and she had faced more than her fair share of walls. But life had grown a sense of humor over the years. Right now, she wished for the bygone days of assassins lurking in the shadows over…whatever the hells she had to deal with now.    "In summation…" Hubert spoke in a hushed voice. "Her Majesty has undergone a hex which neither of us has seen before and--while it will wear off--we haven't the faintest idea of when."
