She sells seashells...
One of the useful capabilities re-minisce has acquired over the years is the ability to shuck oysters with his handy oyster-shucking-thingummagiggy, purchased for him by an ex. Strangely, all save one of re-minisce's exs gave him knives at some point. But let's not dwell on that.
This Shucking Oysters Skill (+2), combined with cheap oysters at Borough market (£5 for 10) and some easily accessed info online about how to prepare raw oysters has once previously resulted in a surprisingly pleasant gastronomically splendiferous evening-in for two, sans side-effects.
(one of the other - and these are rare - useful traits re-minisce acquired during This Life was the ability to clean, shell and prepare crabs. However, as this was during the Dark Ages of National Servitude, re-minisce denies all recollection of these events, his mind having been mysteriously wiped clean of similar atrocities, warcrimes and what-nots)
Now if only re-minisce could find some pleasant female company who enjoyed oysters as much as he... all his friends seem to be freaks who hate oysters and sashimi, arguably two of the best things in life.
(Going it alone seems just a trifle sad...)
