Good afternoon, all.

If we have not yet become acquainted, then please, allow me to introduce myself. I am Sebastian Michaelis, another recently arrived Outsider, and most pertinent for why I make this address today, recently employed on LILITH’s base here in Neo-Tokyo. My official title is the kitchen manager for the cafeteria, but as needs must, I have taken on some additional responsibilities. I may not be in service to my lord here, but I still feel it important to best offer my skill as a butler.

First, on matters of food.

I am attempting to improve the menu on offer in the cafeteria, and I hope that anyone that has stopped by to try the improved offerings in recent weeks has enjoyed them. However, I would very much like to expand such offerings. If there is a particular dish that you find yourself missing, please, do let me know. I will endeavor to recreate it with your assistance, though I can make no guarantees. If you have a recipe I can follow, all the better.

Second, on matters of facility maintenance.

While our automated services are adequate, I do believe that the order and cleanliness of the base could be improved. Thus, the additional responsibilities I have taken on. If you find any part of the base in disrepair or would perhaps like your personal quarters cleaned regularly, please let me know. It would be my pleasure to do so, as a tidy home makes for happier people.

If you would like a full list of services I offer, I would be glad to provide it. I simply fear that this is already a rather long announcement.

Thank you very much for your attention. Do have a wonderful day.

- Sebastian Michaelis

It's one thing if you're out on the battlefield and don't have time for a good meal, but to have to eat those sad bars they hand out here on a day-to-day basis? Now that's just depressing.

But I'm sure between the two of us, we can figure out some way to make everyone's stomachs and tastebuds happy. We just gotta find the right ingredients.

Yeah, I tried to make some yakisoba with some of the mystery meat, and saying that it didn't turn out great would be an understatement.

Contracts? You mean with the local suppliers?

[ What is....Japan.... ]

I'm from Inazuma but that's right! Stir-fried noodles in a rich sauce, with whatever veggies and meat you happen to be feeling at the time. Or whatever you've got lying around. It's a pretty versatile recipe. I can teach you the ones I know if you'd like. Assuming they're the same as what you've been learning.

But I definitely agree with you. I mean, I know it's hard to get supplies out to the front line sometimes, but at least while we're here we should able to get fresh food. We're out there putting our lives on the line, it's the least they can do.

Sure! I'm always up to learn what I can. I've picked up a few recipes from the guys over at the International Trade Association, but there's still plenty out there I don't know.

I feel you on needing to get settled in a bit, but I'd be happy to write down what I know and send it to you. I'm also happy to meet up in the kitchen for some more hands-on experience.

Great! I'm still getting the hang of things around here so I don't have too much going on. Just let me know when you're free and I'll be there in a jiffy.

Haha, just Thoma is fine. I'm no one fancy, not here or back home. Should I be calling you Mr. Sebastian though?
