[ooc: Backdated to the beginning of the Sticks and Stones Flood!]

[text, around lunch time on the first day of the Flood]

Please excuse this interruption to your day, but since I do feel it bears clarifying:

The food served in the Dining Hall will be safe for consumption through the duration of this Flood. Every kitchen employee takes their work seriously, and as an extra precaution, I will personally ensure that no food that leaves the kitchen has been contaminated.

During the next few days, the Dining Hall will serve dishes containing snake meat. There will be other options available, should anyone object to such fare.


[Spam: breakfast shift in the kitchens (CW: violence against snakes)]

...There is an abundance of snakes. Mostly when Sebastian is snarking at Johann.

When the first venomous snake appears out of thin air, Sebastian is as surprised as anyone else, but quickly moves to grab it and wring its neck. If he gets bitten in the process, well. It doesn't seem to concern him.

More snakes pop up during the shift; all are as promptly dealt with. There's the occasional vial filled with poison, chocolate truffle filled with poison, and - sometimes - a pristine silver knife when he gives a prompt order.

Suffice to say, once lunch shifts rolls around, Sebastian is a lot quieter.

[Spam: wildcard]

Sebastian is commonly found working in the Kitchen and Dining Hall as always. He spends time in the Library, reading books on a variety of topics (although right now a lot of them are recipe books: he's not experienced with cooking snake meat). You can make a case for other areas as well, although he's not quite as out and about as he usually is.

[ooc: Sebastian will take care to contain his various venomous snakes/poison vials/poisoned foods, but if you'd like your character to end up poisoned, let me know and we can work it out!]
