[ She's a bit hard to recognise when all bundled up, but Nanoha is here, wearing a woolen hat, a winter coat, and some mittens. Steam rises from the foil-wrapped thing she has in her hands, which on closer inspection turns out to be a sweet potato, which she's cautiously munching on. ]

So it's winter in your world?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

[Small person!] What's that you're eating?

[starlightbreak.livejournal.com]

[ Nod nod ] Un! We just got our first snow.

[starlightbreak.livejournal.com]

It's a sweet potato.

[contract_star]

How nice. Our first snow is still a few weeks away, I'd think.

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

It smells pretty good. Never heard of a sweet potato, though.

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

{Sniffing the air,} Ah, it smells as if you have quite a treat!

[starlightbreak.livejournal.com]

It'll be Christmas soon, so Papa and Mama have been really busy making cookies and cakes. Big brother and big sister took my friends and me to roast sweet potatoes.

[starlightbreak.livejournal.com]

You should try one! Ah, let me get you one! [ She vanishes, then reappears with a thing wrapped in foil. ] They're really hot, so blow on it before you take a bite!

[starlightbreak.livejournal.com]

[ It's a lady who looks like Arf! Nanoha grins. ] Would you like one? I have more!

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

I would like to try one, yes! What strange root is that?

[starlightbreak.livejournal.com]

It's called a sweet potato. I'll get one for you! [ Nanoha blinks off the Plane, only to reappear shortly with a foil-wrapped thing that resembles a small football. ] Where I'm from, we roast these when it's cold, and they're really sweet and yummy.

{Horo gladly takes the potato and peels off the foil, sniffing curiously at it} A potato? This is?

{And she takes a bit, then grinning} Fufu, it does not taste like a potato at all!

[contract_star]

[Smiles.] You ave a big family, don't you?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

[ajfkdjklf free food!] Wow! Hey, thanks a lot! [Takes it delicately and blows on it a bit to cool it off before taking a bite.]

Huh...weird! It's like a potato, but...delicious! [Fiddles with the foil.] This is metal, isn't it? How did you get it so thin? It's like paper!

[starlightbreak.livejournal.com]

Mmm, not too big. Papa, Mama, big brother, big sister, and me.

[starlightbreak.livejournal.com]

It's called foil, but I don't really know how they make it... It keeps things warm without burning your hands.

[starlightbreak.livejournal.com]

It grows in the ground like normal potatoes, but it doesn't taste much like a regular potato. They're really good with butter and cinnamon!

[contract_star]

That's pretty big, though. Is it nice?

[starlightbreak.livejournal.com]

[ Little nod. ] Mama and Papa are really good together, they really love each other. And big brother and big sister are pretty close because they're close in age...

[contract_star]

Ah... [Something seems off. Redirect!]

I've sometimes wondered what it would be like to have a bigger family. It was just me and my sister, really.

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

Aha, so that is this sweet taste! What a delicious thing!

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

That's awesome! Oh man, if I could figure out how to make something like this... Ha! I could make a fortune!
