12th day of Fall 511 AV

Bob had plans, big plans to make up for the small man's stature. He already decided what he needed to do on the 9th. Just think about it. "Bob Barton, Ratlord of Sunberth!" who is going to hold the "Ratrace of Sunberth" on the 18th. If he was able to do it well and gain a lot from it, he might even make it an annual thing. In terms of the title he gave himself and his event, he could do better but for now it was enough. Eventually after his reputation grew and his event gains more prestige, people will start referring to them in their own ways as they see it. From there Bob could just pick one up and use it for himself if it suits him. After all, this was the way that legends were made. Like Emperor Kovinus who is also known as The Wise Emperor for his inspiring life as Bob learned back home. What would Bob be remembered as? "I know. Bob Barton, the small man with a big heart!" Obviously he was the only one who thought that because everyone else just cast him a suspicious glance, giggled and got back to work.

"Fine, be that way!" he yelled when he saw what they did and stormed off to look for Jinsen because he knew that "there are others who agree with me." Let no man question the loyalty of a dog to their master as Caiyha created them as Hannah would tell him. Once he found the dog he asked "you agree with me right? I am such a good master?" When the dog came to him and started rubbing on him to get his attention, Bob knew he was right and gave a maniacal cackle before he said "Good, very good. I have something for you then Jinsen."

He went back to his room where he kept all his things looking for the rat queen which has been butchered up the day after he got it. He still did not know what to do with it until he finally got it. "The Ratlord needs his majestic robes!" The one who helped him with the dirty job did the job well but as always Bob was forced to help. He took great pains to preserve the skin of the rat lying on the floor like a rug once the man skinned the corpse for him.

Looking at the skin Bob took a whiff. What he was forced to do was take the rat's brain in his hands, "Ewww!", put it into a bowl he filled with water, "Ewww!" and stir it into a very disturbing solution he liked to call brain juice, "Ewww!" At least it didn't smell like brains anymore. He remembered the day he did it. Scraping whatever meet which was stuck on the skin with a spoon, "Ewww!" At least he did not have to "Ewww!", eat, "Ewww!" it because he tossed the contents of the bowl right after that. Then he had to take a cloth and "Ewww!" dab it into the "Ewww!" brain juice and "Ewww!" brush it all over the back of the rat's skin continuously up and down, up and down like he was painting a wall. Finally! He was done with the disgusting job and threw the rest of the shyke away, brain juice and all "Ewww!"

Taking some of the rat meat with him to the kitchen, Bob can going to cook it "for you Jinsen. You can already taste it right?" Yes, it was for the dog. Bob will never ever eat rat meat unless the times were really desperate let alone rat meat. Actually, he would not even eat his own cooking. It was that bad. But if here was others would eat it like his dog, who was he to try and take away that privilidge?

Bob took a hammer and started pounding on the meat. "Nothing is good enough for my Jinsen right?" he asked with a smile. But inside he was furious. Who were those people to laugh at the truth he thought about himself. He was a nice person! Imagining that their faces were on the meat, he continued pounding away, "take that! And that!" until it was tenderized and he slapped it into a pan with fat he spread all over the surface, putting it on the fire.

The meat sizzled and sizzled changing into a darker colour which Bob would use as an indicator that it was cooked. Obviously he would have to stop before it turns black. "Be patient Jinsen!" he said turning to the whining dog and pressing it on the floor with his hands on its body commanding it again to "be patient" hoping his words will tell it how serious it is to wait for the food. As soon as it was cooked Bob would give it all to the dog. Only question was how will it taste? Bob can't taste it himself knowing that it was in fact, rat meat.

[Killroy's]If you think you hate the animals now...(Darik)

Postby Darik on November 7th, 2011, 11:20 pm

oocWhy do you always pull me into your sick twisted games? D:
When you are a nice person, nice things happen to you. That’s why Darik wondered why his life had never turned out right. He was the nicest person in Sunberth, even though that wasn’t saying much. He worked in the worst establishment in the whole town of Sunberth, and was only paid three gm a day for it! Okay, maybe the pay was great, and it provided him a free place to stay but he still had to put up with the annoying co workers.

Still, co-workers had a few benefits. Mainly, they were easy to steal from. One such incident was when Darik sunk into the kitchen to see a turned around bob and his dog. The dog intent on the cooking meat would probably not hear Darik’s footsteps. Also, the dog didn’t like Darik, but Darik did smell like everyone else in the kennels so the dog could be fooled by the scent.

Whatever the reason, Darik got close to the sizzling meat. Its enticing aroma caused his taste buds to fire up almost causing him to drool. Maybe this was the reward he deserved. When he reached his hand out, he tried to swoop up the meat without Bob seeing. That didn’t happen, but when are things ever predictable with Darik?

First off, he was an imbecile. He was reaching his hand, on purpose, into a fire. Secondly, he missed, instead pushing the frying pan out of the center of the embers. The resulting pain he felt unbearable as Darik’s yelp rang out most likely alerting Bob and his dog. ”OOOOOOOWWWWWW” It would slowly reside to a slow ache after a few minutes. At worst it would be a first degree burn, and that’s if fate decided to screw him over.

Luckily, he still had functions in his other hand. Knowing he would only have a few seconds to compete with the dog, he withdrew his knife. He stabbed it straight into the steak and lifted it into the air. Before bob could stop him, he put the steak into his mouth. Suffice to say, the taste was…interesting.

As he bit down into it, he felt warmth spreading through his mouth. He should have let it cool down a bit before swiping it. Even though it was blazing hot, Darik could still feel the rough texture. Sure, the fat helped smooth it up a bit, but the roughness was still grating. In fact, it was much too crunchy, and not the good kind. Steak was supposed to be delicious, not akin to eating vermin!

As he swallowed the bite he gave a look of loathing to Bob. ”God dammit Bob, leave the cooking to the women. You screwed up perfectly good cow meat…somehow. Even your dog wouldn’t want to eat this.” Being a hypocrite, he took another bite. Hay, he was hungry! As he swallowed the second piece, his face screwed into disgust. ”Ughh, and I think you left it in the middle of the fire to long.” He removed the knife from the middle of the meat, allowing it to fall to the floor. If Bob didn’t act fast enough, the dog could eat the meat. And yes, Darik did it on purpose to make Bob either dive and look like an idiot or to ruin his alpha male status with the dog.

OOCBecause you love it? :)

Should Bob take a little taste just to see how proper the meat is done? Ewww "no!" The very idea was disgusting. It was rat meat for crying out loud and since Bob still had choice and mizas on his side he would never resort to eating it even if it was just out of curiousity. "You will just have to tell me how it tastes Jinsen" he told the dog as he continued trying to keep the pan over the fire. Damn that was hot as Darik would soon find out even with holding on to the handle with gloves and soon Bob was just going to give up. Jinsen should be happy that it had something to eat which was different from the norm. Just as Bob was about to put it down an imbecile pushed the pan against him. What the...?" he asked as he struggled to regain balance so that the meat would not fall off. Bob waddled a little bit trying to keep the meat on the pan and when he stopped he finally got to ask "What the hell are you up to..." turning around to see the said imbecile known to all as "...Darik?"

Serves him right to get himself hurt if the yelp of pain said anything. Bob got his answer when he saw Darik going for the knife and stabbing straight at him, or so he thought. "Have you finally gone mad boy?" or more so than usual but Darik only went after the meat taking a bite and savoring it. Interesting. Perhaps Bob did not have to taste the meat for himself after all. Waiting for rat to finish off its barbecued kin, Bob tried to look at his reactions. "Good?" he asked when Darik felt the warmth of the meat or was it "no good?" after all seeing his face while he struggled to get through the rough part. Bob did not expect Darik to know how vermin tasted since he hoped that the boy was not that deprived but he expected the boy to know what was good for food and what isn't.

It was not good after all. The look of loathing did not say anything since that was what Darik always looked like but his words said it all. As always Darik was spiteful but in his own strange way he will tell you what you needed to know. Bob gave a chuckle when Darik admitted that he thought it was cow meat but made it seem like the joke was "I could not find you anywhere Darik. Of course we know that your supreme cooking skills are to compensate the lack of, well..." Bob wanted to say brains like he always told everyone about Darik but he could not resist to keep nodding his head to the bottom to signal Darik exactly what he thought the boy was lacking. "So what do you think it needs? More salt?" Well, if Darik thought that Bob left it in the fire too long then "it probably needs salt" because salt makes everything taste better.

Bob did not really care that the meat fell on the floor and just watched Darik's smug look on his face until it landed with a sound between a "THUNK!" and a "SPLAT!" Well, it reached Jinsen earlier than he intended but he hoped that the dog will not have any lingering feelings of gratitude of Darik instead of its master which had to prepare the meat for real. "Just hold on there Jinsen" he reminded it and commanded for it to "wait!" while he rummaged through the spices for salt. Damn Killroy was a cheap ass even if he had a monopoly on animals. Bob finally took the salt shaker and crouched down at the meat to sprinkle it all on top of it. "Now you can eat Jinsen and maybe if you want to you can thank Darik for saving it from being more burnt" he said with a grin knowing just how exactly his dog thanks people.

Standing up Bob put the salt shaker on the counter and stared at Darik asking whether "did you want something?" you fool? "You nearly ruined Jinsen's meal with your nonsense and its lucky that you are not dead yet." Everyone who worked at Killroy's knew that it was stupid to get between a dog and its meal or cross Bob for that matter. Giving a grin he asked Darik "how did tasting your kind feel like?" Was Bob suggesting cannibalism? Probably since he did not like to think he and Darik were of the same species so it was time to deliver the punchline. "I know my cooking sucks but it is kind of hard to find people specialized in making rat meat." Did Bob just say that right? Not satisfied with whatever reaction the boy would give he would remind him again to throw the full weight of reality that "I had no other choice but to prepare the rat meat myself." He said rat meat twice! Even Darik would not be so dense as to miss that.

Postby Darik on December 4th, 2011, 5:03 pm

oocYa I know its late. :/
Bob thought he was clever by giving thinly veiled hints. The whole idea was idiotic in nature because he was saying complete utter nonsense. How could Bob, an ordinary human, capture and roast a god into a terrible tasting steak patty? Even if he somehow managed to capture a god, you would think that they would at least taste a bit better!

It made more sense when Bob uttered a deadly word. rat meat Usually it wouldn’t be a big deal. Darik was weaned on rat meat when he grew up in Sunberth. It wasn’t actually that bad after you got over its bland taste. But ever since he had money he hadn’t eaten it. Even though he would save money by eating rats, last time he ate rat meat bad things happened to the stomach. He was going to the bathroom for almost five hours straight. After a experience like that, you can tell why he didn’t ever want to eat rat meat again.

Darik needed his stomach pumped, now. He bended over and tried to mustered all the strength in his stomach. He wanted it to go out of his esophagus and into the fire. It was already submerged into much acid though so it stayed firmly in his gut. After a few minutes of trying, Darik lifted up his head and his eyes were watering. Not because he was sad, but because when you try to throw up your eyes start to water.

”Dammit Bob, what is your freakin problem? Couldn’t you at least tell a guy when you’re cooking rat meat. It just isn’t polite.” He moved away from the fire and used a wall as a support. The rat meat had tasted horrible so it would probably give Darik a variety of diseases. But then again, it tasted like crab because he had burned it to the upmost degree. So, it was going to be interesting what would happen.

oocI know a bit bland, by creativity is killed at the moment.

Darik must have been right, how could Bob actually capture and roast a god? This was just a rat but...just look at the size of it. It must be the lowest of the highest, a rat god but Bob did not really do it any justice because what he cooked would without a doubt taste very bad. Bob will never improve in preparing the food if he did not know what to do and so he ignored Darik who just did not say anything useful or productive because "my problem is Jinsen's food. He does not seem to be eating much lately" and decided on following Jinsen's reaction to get it to eat which was the same. Just sniffing and licking the meat before backing away just as Darik did. "Salt isn't good enough huh?" Bob asked Jinsen before getting up to look around the kitchen for something stronger while teaching Darik that "stealing Jinsen's food is not polite or smart either so I guess we are even" though Bob did not have to live with any result of his actions. "How do you even survive in Sunberth with its monsters if you cannot even do things properly in the kennels with lesser animals?" he asked uninterested while rummaging through some of the jars.

The answer should be pretty simple but "no one is that lucky" because if they were then there was no point of Bob trying to ascend in gambling either. "So it would have to be...ooooo...!" Before Bob could finish his sentence his nose caught the scent of something sourish in the jar he was holding and took a sprinkle from his finger to find that "this is good" before going up to meat and sprinkling some of it on top thinking that it will help give the meat some taste for Jinsen while the salt gave the dog the part of its staple diet. Bob knew personally that the taste of salt was too overpowering and sometimes it was not what he wanted in his mouth so "Jinsen, eat your food" while Bob put the jar back before getting back to Darik. "What was I saying?" It was something about rats..."animals! Right? Yeah how do you even get to survive here or even keep your job. It is not like you have any skills either. Like me? They know I am just that good which is why they also gave me Jinsen. You don't have anything like that do you?"

Of course not! This was a boy who had enough trouble keeping himself out of trouble and "even your beloved money is a waste if you go and buy an animal of your own." Bob told Darik as he went towards Jinsen to watch if it was eating its food it still was not. Bob pushed the rat meat towards the dog with his foot telling it to "eat! It is good so don't worry about it even if I didn't test the taste myself. You can thank Darik for that. He is just too helpful" and speaking of which, Bob was a little bit too lazy to get on with his job today. Maybe he can get Darik to "help" as well. It will not be too hard given that Darik ate rat meat on his own free will. With a little persuasion like asking "so why don't you just show me how good you are Darik? Or maybe you are just that useless? If that is the case then it is better if you keep away from the animals. We don't want them getting food poisoning when they feast on your corpse now do we?" just like how Darik looked when he realized that he was eating rat meat. It took all that Bob had just to stop himself from laughing as he pictured that.

Then he went back to Jinsen who was still not eating its food and angrily asked it "do I have to repeat myself again?" pushing its head quickly with his hand towards the meat that he was pushing with his foot. "Eat!" he told it in case the reason for his actions which was to get the dog to realize that it was supposed to eat the meat was lost on it. "If not..." then Bob was going to have to look around the kitchen, again.
