Mixer Cuisine
Sounding for interest

PREFACE:

Currently, there is somewhat little in the way of thematic cuisine in the game on Red. I'd like to see this area expanded on, because I feel that food & drink are important staples of setting the theme in an RPI and bars and diners provide place settings and talkpoints for roleplay.

Having a wider diversity of cuisine enrichens the universe and (I believe) will encourage people to integrate meal-taking into their roleplay. Food & drink is honestly such a massive amount of society, and we discuss it without thinking about it on a daily basis. It's a large part of what shapes our interactions in the real world.

WHAT I'M ASKING:

I would like to create an outdoor room in Red with several stalls that would function as counter/bar objects. The following will have to be completed, of which I'm offering to do all of the writing for if I'm given a green light:

I will write:

- Room description

- Object descriptions

- NPC merchant descriptions, personality summaries

- menus

- ALL corresponding messages for the new cuisine items

Implementation would obviously have to be handled on staffside if it's something that the staff would be interested in - which is no small amount of work in itself, so I'm posting this thread to sound off and see whether this is an undertaking people would be interested in me doing.

This is something I would like to do if the staff support and interest is there. I would be eager to see more thematic cuisine added to the game.

On Red we might expect to see similarly exotic foods, along with a blend of many ethnic styles. Foods such as krill or deep-fried locusts and other insects which are easily farmable in an environment where much of the agriculture we have in the real world is difficult or prohibitively expensive would also make a showing. Not everything has to be weird and wonderful though. Soyfood substitutes and other replacements are a CP staple and are positively bland, reflecting the lives of those forced to subsist on them.

There's really an opportunity to see a wealth of different foods represented.

If you somehow got this from my post, then you definitely don't understand where I'm coming from.

Red is a shithole. Expanding on Mixer Cuisine helps delineate just how much of a shithole Red is.

So you'd maybe make a general street burger (defines a low quality bun basicly) and recipes:

carne rata torta - grilled rat patty, merican cheeese, onion slices, ketchup sauce

street special burger - grilled rat patty, merican cheeese, recycled lettuce, alley tomato slices, onion slices, ketchup sauce

bad dog burger - grilled dog meat patty, merican cheeese, hot sauce

For example. :)

Krill dog? Why not.
