Further Questions

[thelightontheedgeofsleep]

 *A man, or at least a humanoid shape in a robe, is people-watching from a dark corner. That only holds its interest for a few minutes even here, however, so before long it comes up with a few questions.*

What do you hunger for most, and what is the most hungry you have ever been? What are the best and worst things you have eaten, be it in morals or simply taste?

Hmmm. Complicated questions. Fortunately we should have some time to ponder them -- and relieve any current hunger too, at least a bit.

[And here's Doc again, carrying a plate -- and trailed by some new people! There's two young men -- one short, brown-haired, and blue-eyed; the other tall, black-haired, and brown-eyed, and incredibly pale to boot -- one young woman -- dark-haired and green-eyed, about the height of the first young man -- and one little girl -- brown-haired and brown-eyed, with a chubby face and a curious sense of 'otherness' about her. They all regard Mr. Eaten with varying degrees of shock and curiosity. Doc smiles a touch awkwardly] Ah, yes, they were curious -- meet the family.

This fellow with the abnormally long blond hair and the miniature suede-skinned green dragon on his shoulder has to think about those a bit.

"Whichever way you mean it, I don't think I have an answer for the first. Though without this place that might have been different." If he'd remembered enough for it to matter. Most of the alternates he'd met when young seemed to have lost their memories along with everything else.

"The second... it depends on if you just mean food, or something else. Food, pick any of several foxholes during the Ragnarok War. When the supply lines would get cut off for a few days and all you get are what e-tanks can be dropped in by fire-lizard, even the Pantheons start looking tasty. And they're not edible. Other than food..." that way lay thing that still gave him nightmares, most of his siblings in pieces and Wily's blood on his hands. "That's something I don't talk about with someone I just met."

"As for the last," and there's an amused snerk, "from my siblings' reactions, that would still be the mincas - in terms of things I shouldn't eat in their opinion and things I think are too tasty not to eat. They're fist-sized grubs, not bad fried, nutty and good with chocolate." A bunch of Wilybots going 'eww, bugs' could be a very funny sight. "Worst thing in terms of taste was when I tried some of that Mystery Goop I heard about. I definitely agree it's probably pureed cardboard."
