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.

( holyyyyyyyyyyy mackerel )
Never mind then
I learned what a train is in another conversation which is fortunate
They've got a more direct route to Las Vegas though as a few outsiders are searching for worm segments
Could be a good opportunity for you
The stipend won't likely compare to what you made previously but it's enough
Were you assigned a civilian job
no subject
As for the stipend, I find it very generous, actually. The young master did pay me, but honestly, I am not very materialistic... Even with the young master's stipend, I tended to use it more for the household than myself. I do not need much. It will be the same here, I am sure.
And for my job, I believe this is it, actually? I have only been assigned to work menial tasks upon the base.
no subject
We can keep you in there cooking
( we're all desperate man )
I think I'm making fairly good money in my position so if you need anything to help in the kitchen then I'll see what I can do about getting it for you
Food is good for morale and the people I've met here need the boost
What is England like compared to this place
no subject
England is a much simpler place, but part of that is surely because of the centuries that separate us! But even so, most of my time was spent at my lord's manor, which was settled in the countryside. We would go into the city of London for business, but day to day, it was an idyllic place of farmers and pastures. Most of the country is like that, really.
London, on the other hand... Well, it is a rather dirty place, to be honest, but that is what is to be expected of a center of industry. The soot can be quite bad some days from all the factories' smoke.
no subject
oh, finally. someone he can project his struggle onto. )
You must still be getting used to this advanced technology too then
People keep telling me it's faster and easier
Maybe that's true but it doesn't feel that way
I can't imagine toxins in the air like that
Gases being inhaled and damaging the lungs
no subject
Though that is not to say it does not give me trouble from time to time. Many of the machines in the kitchen I have simply ignored, for example. They may be able to do a task, but they do not do it well.
As for London, you get used to it, I suppose? [ or you're a cheater and it doesn't matter at all ] The young master has a somewhat frail constitution, so we do try and stay away from the city as much as possible... Or, rather, if there is urgent business and it is especially bad, I tend to go in his stead.
no subject
( laios told him it was convenient... maybe for them, but sebastian seems to like cooking. it'd probably be a hindrance to him. )
If I were in charge of the kitchens I wouldn't want to use something automatic
What if you forget it's on and it burns everything
( he just doesn't like it because it's noisy........... )
Is it some kind of medical condition that makes him frail or was he born like that
no subject
[ he doesn't know wtf calories or heart disease is you fry everything in FAT and you will LIKE it ]
And indeed, I would have some concerns about leaving things unattended, but honestly, if things ended up on fire, that would almost feel like home. Unfortunately, the man who has the title of chef in the household is beyond terrible. Truly, abysmal. [ did he really have to say it twice... ] So, at least I am adept at putting out fires too, and thus, I am not terribly worried about it.
As for the young master, it is both, I believe? I do not understand it very well (though, now that it has been brought up, I shall have to look into it more here while I am able), but it is asthma.
no subject
( it's hot air )
Whatever
I think everyone's so concerned with making their lives easier that they're forgetting how to do things with their own hands
I bet that chef tries to cut corners
It's not the way a man should conduct himself
( this is becoming an extreme boomer conversation... )
I've heard of asthma
Inflammation and muscle constriction in the airways
They have advanced treatment for it here you should find plenty
Hopefully you'll be able to bring the knowledge home with you to help him further
