OOPS! All Gravy...

Lore

The kitchen made a mistake and produced a feast consisting entirely of gravy. Miso called it divine. Mochi finished her portion before anyone could establish a committee.

Princess Duck Gravy was born. Silky duck warmth filled the bowls, and the royal taste-testers became extremely available for further research. Their approval was enthusiastic. The kitchen’s claim that this had always been the plan was less convincing.

Soon, warm portions traveled to companions arriving from cold roads. A magnificent adventure can leave you hungry in a thoroughly ordinary way. The stars may fill your eyes. They are less useful in your bowl.

Miso checked that there was enough to share. Mochi checked whether sharing might leave any seconds. Somewhere, a grand feast was undoubtedly being announced by trumpets. Here, a tired friend lowered their head to supper. Nobody asked the gravy to be anything more important than that.
