I think I'm lost.

ETA: Definitely lost. Send help.

ETA: Now lost long enough to be both hungry and thirsty

ETA: And lonely. :(

ETA: Found a live goldfish, bowl and all. This can solve 2 of 3 problems

ETA: Lonely again.

ETA: oh NOW I find gummy bears

ETA: 5 part finished packs!!! jeez hiro

ETA: SAVED MYSELF and I even have something to show for it. THIS, Jadewing, is something you should see. Anybody else interested...? Breakdown, I expect.

Find anything useful? Aside from the movie, I mean.

a roll of electrician's tape but, alas, not much more

might just help myself to some of Hiro's gummy bears after all

[He’s chuckling over here.]

Gummy bears?

[What?]

[Text]

[10_20_15_5_50]

they're a sort of snack food. No real nourishment but sometimes a nice treat. No actual bears involved.

Probably gonna steal some for the show. Nobody needs five bags.

You fleshies eat weird things.

[10_20_15_5_50]

you have no idea :P

Re: [text]

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

Not sure I want a clear idea.

[10_20_15_5_50]

now you're just tempting me to start naming stuff. Stuff like headcheese and kasanka and saffron

[one of these things is not like the others]

Re: [text]

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

[There’s a long pause here...is he gonna answer at all?]

...what?

[text]

[10_20_15_5_50]

headcheese, you probably don't want to know

Kasanka is a mixture of blood and fat and minced organ meat and grain for a filler cooked in a casing; its made to use up what would left over from a pig once the conventional cuts of meat are off it

Saffron is a spice made from a specific part of certain flowers

This is what happens when you have a whole lot of omnivores living in large groups; humans will eat just about anything, even if we're not as extremely omnivorous as Dirge

Goddamn Dirge

every other person I have ever known and esp. every other human being would agree that the line is generally drawn AT OTHER PEOPLE and without asking why

and so I say again goddamn dirge

Re: [text]

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

I say again, humans eat weird things.

Still having troubles with him?

[text]

[10_20_15_5_50]

truth

Nothing pressing. Mostly I am exasperated with Dirge in general, and also with how I cannot be 100% sure he's not going to murder me. I grant that the last time we crossed paths everything went actually ok but I trust him about as far as I can throw him

Re: [text]

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

Okay, I know he’d like to kill you, but I don’t yet know why...

[Care to share?]

[text]

[10_20_15_5_50]

oh boy. okay.

so at one point, dirge was weighing the feasibility of farming humans and I told him it was a terrible idea

just fucking terrible
for so many reasons
a big one being YOU CAN'T JUST EAT PEOPLE

and when i went to elaborate he got all irritated and declared he would eat whatever he wanted and i told him that if what he ate included people i would take his ability to taste away

he'd said once he didnt think he could bear to be without it way back when i was surprised to learn he ate at all so it seemed like good leverage

Re: [text]

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

..................................

He eats organic stuff?!

[text]

[10_20_15_5_50]

yeah

Re: [text]

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

.......

scrap. That's gross.

[text]

[10_20_15_5_50]

and kind of a cause for concern

speaking as y'know someone who's a convenient snack size

even if he's declared my murder would be too troublesome
