Andalun had finished slicing the wheel of cheese into circular slices that coated the upper surface of the raw mince, now nicely shaped into a tanuki-burger.<br/><br/>He spoke as he laid the last bit in place. "Masterwork carving knife, 330 gold pieces. Enchanting it to a keen plus 1 blade, 8000 gold. Geting the perfect thickness of cheese on your loved one? Priceless."<br/><br/><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td style="margin: 0;padding: 0;border: 0;"><div style=" background-color: #FFEBD5;color: #000000; -moz-border-radius: 16px; -webkit-border-radius: 16px; border: 1px solid #FFFFFF; padding: 4px;font-size: 1em;">  What was that?  </div><img src="./images/think.gif"/></td></tr></tbody></table>Kuroni asked.<br/><br/><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td style="margin: 0;padding: 0;border: 0;"><div style=" background-color: #FFEBD5;color: #000000; -moz-border-radius: 16px; -webkit-border-radius: 16px; border: 1px solid #FFFFFF; padding: 4px;font-size: 1em;">  Just some randomness.

Steam started rising from the burger, and the savoury smell of roasting flesh filled Andalun's nostrils, making his stomach rumble. The burger started to darken in seconds, and the cheese on top sagged and melted due to heat transfer from the burger.<br/><br/><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td style="margin: 0;padding: 0;border: 0;"><div style=" background-color: #FFEBD5;color: #000000; -moz-border-radius: 16px; -webkit-border-radius: 16px; border: 1px solid #FFFFFF; padding: 4px;font-size: 1em;">  Well done?  </div><img src="./images/think.gif"/></td></tr></tbody></table>Kuroni asked.<br/><br/><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td style="margin: 0;padding: 0;border: 0;"><div style=" background-color: #FFEBD5;color: #000000; -moz-border-radius: 16px; -webkit-border-radius: 16px; border: 1px solid #FFFFFF; padding: 4px;font-size: 1em;">  Looks and smells like you've done yourself brilliantly.  </div><img src="./images/think.gif"/></td></tr></tbody></table>Andalun though back.<br/><br/>Kuroni's response was a bit exasperated.<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td style="margin: 0;padding: 0;border: 0;"><div style=" background-color: #FFEBD5;color: #000000; -moz-border-radius: 16px; -webkit-border-radius: 16px; border: 1px solid #FFFFFF; padding: 4px;font-size: 1em;">  I mean well done or rare?  </div><img src="./images/think.gif"/></td></tr></tbody></table><br/><br/>"Oh, yes, well done!"

He examined the skewer as he drew it out. Clear juice... He tasted it. Oh yes...<br/><br/>The burger still weighed the hundred and fifty pounds of the original girl, plus cheese so even with draconic strength, he felt it better to support it with both hands, or rather sets of claws, as it was still hot. A fire breathing red dragon would have ignored the heat, but he preferred his way. He lowered it onto the bototm of the bun, and laided the cheese with about 40 pounds of assorted garnish from the plastic tubs, and several catering bottles of barbeque sauce and mayo. The top half of the bun went on, and he stood back to admire it.<br/><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td style="margin: 0;padding: 0;border: 0;"><div style=" background-color: #FFEBD5;color: #000000; -moz-border-radius: 16px; -webkit-border-radius: 16px; border: 1px solid #FFFFFF; padding: 4px;font-size: 1em;">  You make a spectacular burger!

It represents an Anime character's ability to eat ridiculously massive meals, as in sevrral times their own body weight very quickly without ill effect. Examples of charcters with it would be Lina Inverse from Slayers, or Goku from Dragonball.
