( taraji p henson, 131, non-binary, they/them ) β Look who it is! If you take a look at our database, youβll find that KHADIJAH JAMES is a a/n CHEF that works in SECTOR 2. According to the file, theyβre a mutant with the power of FOOD HEALING + CULINARY MASTERY. That must be why theyβre PHILANTHROPIC and REACTIVE. If you ask me, they remind me of recipes passed down generations, an authority in the kitchen, a knack for serving something just right, a reputation known far and wide. They are affiliated with NOBODY.
3 negative traits: bitter, reactive, over emotional
questionnaire:
how do they feel about living in sol city? have they always lived there or did they travel from another settlement?
coming from humble beginnings in the small town of houston, texas; khadijah has come to appreciate and admire the beauty of sol city. though, its underbelly leaves an awful taste in their mouth. a now permanent fixture, khadijah has seen and heard more than they'd like. but what can they do when they've got a city to feed?!
do they trust the councilβs leadership? why or why not?
it's a βyou scratch my back, I scratch yoursβ kind of relationship. khadijah caters to the council's dietary needs/requests and they leave them the hell ALONE.
if they chose their sector and profession, why did they make that choice? if they didnβt, why not? were they happy with their assignment or not?
it was chosen. khadijah loves to cook and is damn good at it. besides, most of these people wouldn't know a good seasoning if it hit them with a 2Γ4!!!
whatβs one object that they always keep on their person?
their chef's jacket
(mutant only section)
what is your characterβs ability (or abilities)? culinary mastery + food healing
are they gen i or gen ii? gen i
what can your character do? what are their strengths? khadijah is a culinary prodigy, able to create dishes with ease; regardless of ingredients and their availability. heals people with their cooking.
what canβt they do? what are their weaknesses? depending on the method, it can take them anywhere from a week to months to pick up new skills. also, grave injuries require finer ingredients and have longer prep times for their meals to take effect.
is there anything else youβd like to specify about them? they're a southern baddie with a damn good palette!!!

"Being on-call is the second best thing that's ever happened to me," he said. A massive grin of sharp teeth is stretched from pointy ear to pointy ear. "The first best thing was eating at your restaurant," he said. He's laying it on thick, but his crush on Khadijah just won't quit. "Aren't you going to invite me in?" he asked.
good lawd, what trouble has this fool gotten himself into now? is the first question that pops into their brain. alvaro's deposition a bit too sunny for the chef's liking. khadijah so accustomed to alvie's twisted sense of melancholy that any exhibited signs of common sense seem glaring. βyou were all skins and bones then. stress llike a permanent setting in your eyes. now look at ya, buttering me up. tell me what you want and I'll consider it.β
βworking two out of three shifts, I might add.β chuckles the gentle hearted and no nonsense chef. khadijah happy to fill the hungry stomachs of those who needed it. even with a curfew in place. βfor the most part. and if not, brom's got me covered. how are you faring?β

"You're a life saver." Alina takes a sip of the hot stew. Already she can feel as it begins to ease the tension in her newly sprained ankle, courtesy of a patch of ice that had quickly been reduced to a puddle in her anger. "I may not be allowed to work in my usual profession thanks to snow-mageddon, but that doesn't mean I don't want to keep up with my routines."
βso they tell me.β chuckled khadijah with a wry grin, watching as alina enjoyed her stew. with the upcoming rations, these small luxuries would be few and far in between until the storm passed. though, the people currently stationed in the restaurant were fortunate to have a chef talented enough to make just about anything delectable. βif you're strong, you're more than welcome to work security here. the more eyes we have the better.β they suggested, arms folded across their chest. khadijah aware how dire circumstances could bring out the worst in people. and as a longtime veteran of the apocalypse, they weren't taking chances.
Mo went inside, like the cold and almost lifeless moth he was on the inside. Once the queen of monsters, now a hungry humanoid. Mo politely nodded his head maybe hoping for something-anything sweet. Mo flopped on the counter.
"Khadi......" Mo muttered beneath multiple layers. "Please tell me you have some sugar cubes."
the restaurant had become an oasis of sorts for those residing or trapped in sector two. the winter storm's harsh winds and bitter chill having no effect on it, thanks to the building's brick enforced walls. not to mention the specially crafted heaters gifted to khadijah in order to keep the eatery running. so when the doctor entered in what could only be described as a cocooned defense, they merely raised a brow upon sight. βsugar alone won't keep you full. how about a hot chocolate while I fix you something nice?β responded khadijah with a snort.
"hold on, i've got it in here... you know what? forget it. you know who i'm here for, don't you? the old fuck. making me pick up dinner orders now, too."
a playful snort somehow manages to escape past their lips. khadijah nodding in affirmation while preparing seth's to go order. honestly, what would that salt and peppered fool do without them? die, probably. βif I were you, I'd asked for a pay raise. given the weather hazard.β snickers the famed chef, well aware of what a CHEAPskate seth wss.
Itβs with a labored grunt that Brom places the last cooler on top of the stack, giving the structure a challenging tap to make sure itβs not going to fall over. Itβs impressive how the cold eats at his strength: moving coolers of meat isnβt normally this tiring. βIβm sorry, Khadijah. I did what I could with this, but itβs not anything like the quality of your regular cuts.β
the winter storm had taken everyone by surprise. the denizens of sol city far too accustomed with the heat and humidity to ever adjust to freezing temperatures. but if there was person who could make a way out of the impossible: it was khadijah james. the famed chef busy with their inventory ( frozen meats included ) as they continued to bunker down in the spacious restaurant. and oddly enough, they weren't the only ones. βwe're in an ice fucking age. I don't expect you at your best.β the brunette teases, holding back at laugh as rosita waddles around like a marshmallow, bundled from head to toe.

"you're certainly blessed, but i would think you'd be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't love your cooking." even the most ascetic individual would break under just one taste of what they have to offer. well-equipped in the kitchen himself, eli knows he can't help but pale in comparison to their own unique abilities. "but i will say, i never enjoy it quite as much as i do mornings like these." the soup, that is to say, is well in order.
βI won't argue you with there.β surrended khadijah with a chuckle. cognizant that their establishment was one of the rare few that saw frequent patronage out of desire instead dreaded necessity. people came here to have not only their stomachs filled but their hearts as well. and khadijah made sure to do just that. βI'm good to my customers and in return, they're good to me. equivalent exchange.β adds the personable chef, eyeing the steady crowd that continued to flock in. mornings were far more relaxed compared to afternoons and evenings. hence khadijah's insistence of manning the shift themselves. their kids could handle the other two. βas long as you keep coming, the food will be here.β
"i still don't know how you do it." resource-wise, of course. he's fully aware that they're a cut above even the above-average as far as their skill-set does it. even so... "you're incredible. nobody in the world could cook like you can."
βon a wing and a prayer.β laughs khadijah, referencing a song from long ago. a tune only those from the previous generation would recognize. truth is, it hasn't been easy. starting over scratch, building an empire that somehow thrives in a post apocalyptic world. and yet, somehow they manage, taking the path less traveled. βI'm just blessed to have people love my cooking.β khadijah smiles, sliding over a hangover stew. a specialty to those who frequent the bearded lady.
Jacob acknowledges the question, pretending to think about it for a second before gently shaking his head no. He was at some point but even that feels like itβs been ages ago, lost in some other equally loud and confusing city. βI donβt want to impose if youβre in a hurry. I know little ones are already a handful.β He pauses, βI live outside the city. Just knowing the direction towards the nearest exit would be helpful.β Please donβt ask me to get in your car, please donβt ask me to get in your car, please donβt ask me to get in your car. "It's alright, I can walk."
at the humored response, rosita's eyes mirror something akin to disappointment. the seven year old pouting over the fact she has yet to meet the actual oogie boogie. although khadi could have told their young charge that wasn't possible to begin with, they let it slide. their mind on other tasks carefully arranged for the day. βshe most definitely is but I know how to manage.β chuckled khadijah in afterthought as their manicured fingers tap against the wheel rhythmically. βyou sure? it'll be awhile before another ride comes along. and that sun ain't nothing to play with. we got room. and a drive is much faster than a walk.β comfortable too.
they clasp their hands in glee once they hear her words, quickly making their way towards the bar. "yes!" rei hasn't promised their grandmother they would definitely bring her khadijah's food, but they are sure she expects it β which is more than enough pressure on its own. when they spot the zombie girl, it's impossible not to stare for the next few seconds, before they manage to peel their attention away from her and to the chef instead. "i'm sure she'll be happy with anything you cook." rei themselves have tried once to cook for her, and she couldn't fake liking it no matter how much she tried. "what are the specials for today? do you have desserts as well?"
βlook at you, using flattery as a currency.β bantered khadijah, winking playfully at their guest while maneuvering expertly around the fully staffed kitchen. with the holiday season fast approaching, they were busier than ever. meal planning alone was enough to keep the beloved chef up all night and early morning. ever the perfectionist when it came to honing and displaying their craft. then again, it was this frenzied state of being that made khadijah feel alive when cooking. βlet's see. the lunch special for today is: wild turkey skewers, broccoli rice, chickpea and sweet potato hash with a berries and cream dessert.β announced the brunette, listing off the items with their fingers while rosita rubbed her stomach dramatically as if to further sell the menu.

Jacob immediately narrows his eyes at her words, head turning to discover what he assumes to be a mother and child. His gaze softens unconsciously at the sight of an obviously undead child who looks rather excited to see him despite it being their first meeting. Heβs never had a child excited to see him before so he doesnβt know how to react at first, only giving a slow nod to the latter once the initial shock wore off. It takes him some deliberation before he finally fishes out the communicator from his pocket. βIβm not from around here. Just trying to find my way out.β The device echoes out.
that's the thing about children: they're fearless. none more so than their rosita, who is continously singing the oogie boogie song from her favorite animated movie. or at least, one of them. βare you filled with bugs?β the zombie girl proceeds to question, trying (and failing) to lean over and converse with the masked stranger. heaven give khadijah strength! with a silent exhale of air released from their lungs, khadijah pushes rosita back safely into her seat, ignoring the child's whines. βbeen there, suffered that. city can be hard to navigate. especially so far out. we can guide you home or close to it, if you like.β the chef kindly offers while tapping their nails against the steering wheel of the jeep. βyou traveling on foot or otherwise?β
FROM: REI TAKAHASHI
TO: KHADIJAH JAMES [ @sassyspiced ]
LOCATION: sector2 kitchens / restaurant
it's a good day- or at least, rei is hoping it will be, as they are planning visit their grandmother later in the day, hoping to bring her some of her favorite food, forget the chaos of everything else. once they reach sector 2, the smells that spread out to the vicinity are more than enough to make their mouth water, footsteps growing faster, eagerly navigating through the streets. once they reach ( inarguably ) the best restaurant there is in sol city, they push the door open, and hope to see the chef around. once they spot them, they smile wide. "hello! please tell me i'm not too late, nana's still talking about last month's stew i brought her."
βnot too late!β chirps rosita with a toothy grin. tiny hands on her hips as she parades around in her chef's jacket. customed made by elijah, khadijah's oldest son, who provides all the wardrobe for the restaurant's staff; which in itself is pretty cool, not to mention the offensive and defensive buffs equipped so everyone can remain safe while curating the needed service. βrosita, if you got time to talk, you got time to wipe down some tables.β scolds the brunette, offering rei a hospitable wave, ushering them to the bar as the tiny zombie child santizes the now available areas. rosita comically focused as she sings the scrub and shine song taught to her. βso, what can I get for you, hunβnana got any cravings?β
