I could take a video of an expert at work if you like. Someone should benefit from my house being turned into a chocolate factory.

[devwocean]

Zelda, you knoww howw?

[zelda_hylia]

Well, I am learning about it myself, but I was actually referring to Zelos. He makes enough each year to give out to half the city. He's really quite good at it.

[devwocean]

Oh, I don't knoww him.
Wwould he teach me, or make me some proper ones?
I don't wwant to buy the ones they havve at the store, I tried one an it tasted like fish but it didn't say anythin' about it havvin fish in it on the package.
Wwhich wwould be fine if it wweren't paired wwith chocolate.
It wwas fuckin' foul an make no mistake about that.

depends on if you just want to make chocolate candies or if you want to hand make chocolate from scratch.

Wwhat's the difference?

[Rude, why would you block it from him.]

pre-made chocolate syrups and chips can be used to make decorations and candies while making your own chocolate by hand requires a considerable amount of more work.

[Ganymede doesn't get it. He doesn't know Valentines, and he's only gotten the nasty chocolates so far. So he reaaly really doesn't get it.

By the time he replies to this, he's pretty annoyed, though not at Dualscar personally.

Not that he knows Dualscar. All the trolls with their typing kind of blend together for him, but he finds them comfortable enough to reply to.]

Why is everyone so obsessed with chocolate?

[devwocean]

[Sorry, Ganymede, he's never talked to you before]

Don't you knoww?

[cynicisms]

[Oh, the person switched to video. It's a grey person, just like he was expecting, but not any of the ones he's talked to before.]

No! I ate some of the chocolate they gave at the store, but it was disgusting. Why would anyone want it?

[bestestfurrend]

:33 < which kind of chocolates?

[devwocean]

The kind a chocolates that people eat that are shaped like hearts or somethin and havve tasty things inside.

[bestestfurrend]

:33 < id try and explain but mine always turn out pretty messy
:33 < im sure darkl33rs book will help lots, though!

[aim_exorable]

D --> Did it occur to you to get a cookbook before sending out this message?

[devwocean]

They havve books for this?

[aim_exorable]

D --> ...Yes
D --> The bookstore I work in has them in abundance

[crabbygenius]

It depends on what kind of chocolate you want to make. So, lets start with that. What exactly are you wanting to do with it?

[devwocean]

I don't think it needs to be as precise as that.

[crabbygenius]

You don't~?

Then lets put it this way, are you looking to make chocolate shapes, or dunk say strawberries or pretzels into it?

Either way, you need to melt down existing chocolate chips or chunks. Unless you want to make your own chocolate from scratch.

[akumanotrill]

But I thought it was girls who made Valentine's chocolates...?

[devwocean]

Wwhat does it matter if you're a girl or not a girl?
Do females havve some kind a special chocolate-making talent that males don't fuckin havve?

[akumanotrill]

Well, back where I'm from, girls give chocolates on Valentine's Day and boys give them back gifts a month later on White's Day.

Whilst I'm n9t exactly well versed in the culinary arts, I 6elieve y9u might have m9re luck with 96taining a recipe 699k fr9m the l9cals rather then a netw9rk wide p9st. H9wever, sh9uld such a thing 6e imp9ssi6le, I might 6e 9f assistance, even if 9nly vaguely, c9nsidering my lack 9f kn9wledge regarding the area.

Wwho the fuck are you?

My, my, such abrasive use of untagged slurries.

I'll instruct you this once, but please do note you should have the initiative to do so yourself on a regular basis.

[ tw: slurries. ]

It's not exactly difficult, and could potentially help a lot of people with sensibilities regarding these words.

As for your question, albeit worded in a rude manner, which I will deign myself to answer to ensure that this conversation does not reach a stalemate, my name is Kankri Vantas. Pleasure to make your acquaintance.
