1st Bite [Video]
[The screen flicks on, but there seems to be something wrong with a it. A long crack runs down the right side, fragmenting the image. The color also seems off, though its hard to tell if you haven't seen the speaker's paintjob before.]
Oh, you do still work. Hm.
[A big seeker of a less boxy variety than most leans in and raps on the screen with a knuckle, sending the drone drifting backwards with a distressed beep.]
I'll have to go find a bigger rock.

[She'll hold up one intricately-inked hand, shrugging that shoulder.]
'To eat is to appropriate...' was translated; I may be misinterpreting. Still makes sense.
[Given the context some experience with sympathetic magic provides, it---whichever interpretation 'it' is, 'inseparable' or that scrap of Sartre---makes very solid sense. Consumption's a loaded act; there are libraries on its implications alone.]
[AND ABOUT IMPLICATIONS]
[that]
[that is one screaming sharp left turn this conversation's taken]
[and when it was going so well][The look on her face says as much, in the
(long)moment before she manages to regain composure]I don't think that would work well.

Your skin- its different. I've never seen a human with those markings.
[He peers into the screen at them, trying to make sense of the tattoos.]
Oh? Why not? Sounds like it would be very easy!
no subject
[It would be a weird digression, but Sam's long considered the topic of her skin adjacent to any other, and there are other issues to address.]
Seems like it, maybe, but lots of things seem like they should be easy and aren't. Humans are contrary creatures, with this... tendency to prioritize revenge, even over sustenance. That's not really a trait to facilitate farming.
[Sure, the last study she'd seen on the subject used that pop-bubble board game to arrange slight-and-revenge scenarios, but the principle held to high stakes.]
no subject
Revenge over sustenance...how peculiar. [He's sort of lost interest in the farming thing, at least for now.]
How much of your body is covered in those markings?
no subject
[Strike one, strike two, sweet mother Mary, maudit, and marde.]
Coming up on two thirds. It's a work in progress.
[It seems she should have that established, before this exchange takes another left turn.]
Why d'you ask?
no subject
I like rare things, they are valuable because they are unique.
no subject
What I've already got is from a few years.
[One eyebrow goes up at that, and the adept crosses her arms. She's elaborately etched, but you're some kind of sketch.]
Given the context of this conversation, and what you've been asking after, I'm kind of concerned.

What, exactly, are you expecting the future will involve?

[He stands up and picks up the drone, shaking it experimentally.]
Perhaps this was a bad idea. Oh well. [It seems the shaking has knocked something loose though and the feed cuts out.]
