Barbeau, the shark-like cambion chef, is experimenting with some lobster-like creatures he trapped. His little kitchen is a box with a large open window, resembling a food truck with crab legs instead of wheels, and with an entire chemistry lab enmeshed into the normal cooking implements. The air is ice cold around it.
Sundew walks closer to inspect the kitchen, but quickly steps back as the ice cold air seeps into her veins. She calls out to Barbeau. "What is this place?"
"A research and development lab." He replies, not initially looking her way. Then, he plates something and brings it out to her. It's a whole lobster-thing, split down the middle and splayed out with a variety of sauces and caviar-like bubbles drizzled and placed over its body in an artistic display. It smells faintly of vinegar and roses. In his other hand, he carries a golden fork, which he offers to her. "I like to source my ingredients locally. Try this."
This seems to surprise her. "Oh! Thank you."

This seems to surprise her. "Oh! Thank you."
"Before you take your first bite," he says, placing the plate on a nearby table, "I want you to know that what you are eating is an experimental art piece. I need a fresh set of eyes, or, in this case, a flesh palate. Do you drink?"

The air grows cold around him, but only for a second. "Yes. But I was referring to alcohol. Specifically white wine."

"I have not fully ascended yet. the Grand Ascendant has ascended fully from the imperfection of natural forms" they gesture at the cloaked figure, who hasn't spoken a word
"So you assume an unnatural form either would or could be perfect?"

She shrugs. "I suppose it couldn't hurt."

"People aren't worth trapping. They will come to me. And as for the uniform..." He holds out his arms and turns around. His clothes are spotless. "I doubt those buffoons would dare walk around without a mask. Or with such a ridiculous hat."
'Aye, you're right there. Too scared of getting poison gas. And I guess your hat doesn't resemble their helmets. It's just that... you look like a chef. What kinda chef goes trawling around in the sanitation lines looking for ingredients? Ya gotta be mad'
"Mad?" He sounds faintly annoyed. A long pause follows. "I guess," he concedes. "Many people have been labeled as mentally ill for looking in unorthodox places. Like Alan Turing, father of computer science. They used him for his ability to see things others couldn't, then had him castrated for the same. They said that seeing secret messages in jumbled signals was different from seeing love and beauty in another man, but I believe they are the same." He places another trap into the water. "To see something no one else does, to experience the world in an unorthodox way, to feel the way no one else feels... it is madness, yes, but it is a madness we all contain. To share that madness is the purpose of art. I keep my eyes open. Do you?"
'I keep my eyes open. Necessary part of the job. And yeah, you're mad, but maybe in a good way. You have some kinda food stand? Like, down in the Sink? It would be pretty popular if you actually made these critters taste half-decent somehow.'
