Okay. I'm bored. So, all'a you pinheads:

What're your favorite foods?

[Lars isn't totally trying to get intel for Psi, deeefintely not...]

Comments

[mirrortide]

Don't know. I don't eat.

[mossbuds]

Who just doesn't eat!?

[mirrortide]

Me, obviously.

[SORRY LARS.]

[mossbuds]

Yeesh. Sorry about your life. You should try it, sometime. It's like... sensory pleasure that doesn't make you act like a dang idiot, like alcohol does.

[mirrortide]

Mmmmaybe one day. What's your favourite food?

[mossbuds]

That's...confidential.

[mirrortide]

Why? You eat, don't you? Surely you'd be better at telling me your favourite food than I'd be at telling you mine.

[mossbuds]

Of course I eat!! I'd die without food. It's, just, I mean—I'm asking you guys, alright?

Plus, it's...hard to pick a favorite, I dunno.

[periphrasing]

I'm physically incapable of ingesting any kind of food whatsoever!

[Gems are exactly who you want answering this kind of question right?]

[mirrortide]

Then pick more than one? I don't know, maybe I'll try them sometime.

[Maybe.]

[mossbuds]

Alright. These aren't my favorites, necessarily, but stuff you should maybe try. Like, Amethyst definitely eats? She likes donuts, but maybe sweets would be kinda crazily stimulating as a first thing to try... Something more mild, maybe...

You should try...some watermelon, maybe? It's kinda sweet, and it's refreshing. Doesn't require any cookin'.

[mirrortide]

Not watermelon. I've, uh, just remembered. I've eaten watermelon before. Sort of. [Lapis probably sounds a little panicked.] So uh, anything else.

[mossbuds]

[LARS DOESN'T BUY IT]

Physically incapable? Why?

Also, why is it that the answers I'm gettin' are variations of "I don't eat" to "what do y'all eat"? That's like the opposite of the appropriate answer.

[mossbuds]

...Okay. [fucking gems. what the dang hell]

Maybe some kinda bread. Croissants, maybe? Or brioche.

[mirrortide]

What are those like?

[drrdrrdrr]

Oh man, like, anything, but spicy stuff rules. Oh, and, like, stuff that has a bunch of different textures, like, crunchy on the outside 'n gooey on the inside or whatever – anything in a wrapper or a can or whatever is great for that.

[mossbuds]

I dunno. Delicate, soft, kinda sweet, but not sugary. Best warm. Kinda classic comfort food kinda stuff.

[mossbuds]

[Lars doesn't understand Amethyst means that she eats the can and wrappers as well.......but]

That's simultaneously unhelpfully vague, and also the most correct answer possible, cuz both of those elements are like super important. Spicy food's top tier.

[except Amethyst also means shit like fire salt, which almost ended Lars's life and burned down beach city. details]

[mirrortide]

Huh. [AS LONG AS ITS NOT WATERMELON, HONESTLY.]

I guess maybe that'd be good? [She doesn't know, her only experience was eating a watermelon Steven as Malachite.]

[drrdrrdrr]

[Yeah, Amethyst lets out a snorting guffaw at that -] I dunno, dude, I'm pretty sure I remember you don't handle spicy too good.

[mossbuds]

Everyone's tastes are different, so y'might not think so. Hard to judge like, the entire existence of food based on one or two items alone, y'know?

[mossbuds]

What! When? I grew up on crazy spicy food.

[mirrortide]

This whole eating thing sounds really complex. What's the point of it if you don't even like what you're eating sometimes? Wouldn't it make more sense to like anything that gave you sustenance?

[drrdrrdrr]

[UNRULY SNICKERING] Fire salt ring any bells, donut boy?

1/2
