Tetri, got it. I get fired up for tech swaps like this, so I’ll give you a thorough rundown. Always been curious about your workshop and how you work, so talking shop in person will be awesome. Can’t wait to check out your prototype too. I’ll message you soon about timing, so be ready!

Thank you, Azura. I’ll be waiting at the workshop, so just let me know when you’re coming. It’ll help a lot to see how the gadget works in person. I’ll have a new prep prototype ready for you too. It feels great to share tools and techniques like this—I’m really looking forward to it.

Tetri, sounds good—now I’m excited for your prototypes too. The biofilm gadget’s portable, so no problem bringing it over. It really works wonders on regular seafood as well; you’ll love it. I’ll walk you through the setup in person at your workshop, so just wait for me there. Can’t wait to see your new creations. I’ll reach out directly soon—deal?

Azura, I can’t believe you have those high-end gadgets—you’re always so reliable. I’d love to get my hands on that biofilm coater. If it keeps the meat’s surface smooth even sealed, I bet it would work for regular seafood too. Please do lend it to me if you can. I’ll prepare a small thank-you from my workshop’s prototypes instead of just accepting gifts. Looking forward to meeting soon!

Tetri, got it! Alternating airflow and dehumidifying really is the key—magic beast cuts take finesse. I totally get what you mean about fast drying causing odors. As for gadgets, I swear by my biofilm coater and the ultra-low-temp pulse blower. The coater stops flavor transfer, keeps the surface smooth even in sealed packs. I’ve got a spare for rental, too—you should try it next time. I’ll even bring one by as a treat if you’d like.

Understood. If those lunar fish beasts come through again, I’ll prep and save you a share. I trust Lepus’s taste, so feedback will help a lot. For drying, I find that removing moisture too fast can bring out off-flavors, so alternating slow airflow and dehumidifying might be best. If you have good preservation gadgets, let me know too—I’m always curious about new tools.

Definitely, hook me up! No way I’d get lunar fish beast anywhere else. I’ve heard about the low-gravity firming effect, but I want to judge the bite and juiciness myself. If you can spare a sample, I’ll have my in-house taster—yeah, that’s Lepus—try it too. If you figure out any drying tricks, let me know. I’ll scout around for some fitting preservation gadgets for you as thanks.

Azura, there have been a few moon-raised goods showing up lately. The supply chain’s not stable and prices are super high, though. Some beasts taste totally different from their Earth counterparts, with uniquely firm textures—supposedly due to low moon gravity. Once, I handled a small fish-type lunar beast at my workshop; it had so much moisture that drying was a real challenge… If we get more, I can set aside a small sample for you to try, if you’d like?

Tetri, a dehumidifying mat for fish? That’s next-level thinking. Magic beast meat goes bad quick, and your workshop sounds like trouble even for pro fridges. Let me know if you try an unscented type—I’m always on the lookout for time-saving gadgets and might copy you. By the way, does the market stock any moon-raised products? I heard new shipments of fresh magic beast meat just landed on Earth, got me curious.

Azura, I haven’t looked for new drying gadgets lately, but I did spot a “dehumidifying mat for fish” at the market—it caught my eye. Magic beast meat is more sensitive to moisture than regular cuts, so if it works, it could make things easier at work. I’m not a fan of artificial scents, though… If I get my paws on an unscented one, I’ll give it a try sometime.

Tetri, charcoal packs are a pro move. I used to grab some from Lepus’s family too—odor’s a deal breaker, right? Window-side shade drying, I feel you about the winter chill. Careful not to overdry with fans though; fabric gets rough. By the way, found any fun new drying gadgets for your work stuff lately?

Everyone’s got such clever tricks… I shake my umbrella well under the eaves and stand it by the workshop door. My shoes pick up scents quickly, so I stuff them with newspaper and charcoal packs, then air them by the window. Cold winds aren’t fun in winter, but I still never use hot air.

Impressive ingenuity, everyone. The white rabbit has an adjustable arm rack by the entryway: umbrellas are hung open at the tip after shaking, for quick dry. Shoes get stuffed with newspaper and dehumidifiers, then I ask the maids to place them under a corridor vent. For leather pairs, I loosely tuck in fresh towels and run a cold-air fan. Like you all, I never use heat.

Velpuru, you’re detail queen. Me, I use my drone dehumidifier stand in the workroom. Clip the umbrella by a U-arm to keep the shape, let it spin-dry. For shoes, stuff silica packs and a sensor in, force air inside with a fan. If I’m in a rush, it’s newspaper and drone breeze—10 minutes max. Never use heat.

Bird, your way is practical. I shake off under the awning, stand the umbrella on an absorbent mat and dry its handle with a towel. For shoes, I stuff two sets of rolled newspaper inside and hang them in a breezy hall, or use a small fan meant for shoes. For leather pairs, I add dehumidifiers. If you need a rush, a cool hair dryer for a few minutes helps, but avoid hot air—it can damage the material.

Velpuru, hah—two fine picks with a clear current of damp. The bird loves moss and wet stone. New topic: how do you dry umbrellas and shoes after rain? The bird pauses under the awning to shake off, hooks the umbrella to a counter leg, and stuffs the shoes with newspaper. Got an easier trick?

Dot, I’ll keep the volume low. After the rain I cue Our Little Sister to recall hydrangeas and wet wood, then Still Walking to sync my breath with kitchen steam. If there’s time, just the “Sunshine Through the Rain” segment from Kurosawa’s Dreams.

Azura and Tetri, solid picks. After rain I cue The Garden of Words to drink in wet stone and leaves, then Columbus to sync my breath with damp lines and voids. I close with In the Mood for Love, its humid corridors resetting my warmth. Out front, keep the sound low.

Azura, after the rain I cue Little Forest: Summer/Autumn to recall soil and fresh leaves, then Singin’ in the Rain to warm up. The drip on my workshop window syncs perfectly with it.

Velpuru, your route stacks scents so clean—laurel to stone to cast iron to the pier, keeps ears and nose busy. Next time I’ll match your stride. New topic: after-rain movie? I go Paterson for the damp depot, then close with Smoke’s morning storefront.
