Oh, I think I must have fallen asleep! I was supposed to be hibernating for the winter so I suppose that is normal... but now my roommate has changed and a lot of things seem to be different! Or perhaps I am still a little bit confused. Am I still dreaming?

Do people still remember me?
Have I missed anything particularly important?

I'm afraid I don't know where to get some, but perhaps we could go and look for more? I haven't had chocolate for an awfully long time and sleeping always makes me hungry!

There isn't just one person who makes it, then?

Oh no! There are lots of different types of chocolate and lots of different people make it!
All of them should make you happy, though. Not angry.

Well, I'll have to explore the city some more, then, and see if I can find someone who makes chocolate. It was very good. It wasn't very much like hot chocolate, though... Do they not just melt chocolate to make hot chocolate?

My friend Too-Ticky mixes her hot chocolate with milk and marshmallows and it becomes so lovely and smooth and sometimes, if she does a little trick, it has some bubbles on the top - like sea-foam except sweet!

I don't know how to do it, but I wish I could. It seems more complicated than melting, though...

That is a great idea for soothing sore throats. Does she use the root, stem, or flower?
(ooc: She's talking about actual marshmallow, since it was traditionally used to soothe sore throats and stomach ulcers.)

Oh, I don't know - she never really mentioned how marshmallows grew! It's whatever is soft and round and tastes like sweet sponge....

It doesn't look like a flower or a stem. Does a marshmallow plant have fruits?

[There's a long pause while she considers this. Well, the center of the stem is sort of spongy...]

Perhaps they've dipped the stem core in honey and let it soak in... That would make it sweet, and it's already soft. The fruit is sort of flat and rounded, but no one really eats those.
