way to christen the place with the shittiest take

on anything ever

people were probably lining up to drop some mad knowledge

words of wisdom in these trying times

maybe even a sick recipe for some asgardian mac n cheese

but then you shoved them all to the ground and trampled over them to be first

like a 50 year old mom desperate for that black friday tv/vcr combo at walmart

to tell us this incorrect opinion

[skittering]

❰ after a loooooooong pause. ❱

red

❰ he seems to have figured out how to make things red. ❱

[timeriffs]

congrats youve discovered your wysiwyg

an important milestone in every maturing youths life

my what

( Lalli may be within 10 feet of him, but this new network function Intrigues him. If only they had this technology a bit ago even if Lalli would have just ignored his incessant audio pokes anyway. )

mustard isn't that bad

( this also took him 10 minutes to post because his fat fingers are not acclimated to qwerty living )

[skittering]

❰ lalli sees this message,

squints at this message,

squints down at emil, sitting literally within- well, not arm's reach but definitely leg's reach,

then looks back at the message and begins to type. ❱

i'm sitting right here

❰ oh hells it's still red ❱

[enflame]

( okay you little bitch, fine then.

Emil rolls over from his back to peer up at Lalli and this newfound power of his. He'll make no use of it, but he wants it. )

How did you make it all red like that? Is it only red?

( That's just not his colour tbh. )

[momsboy]

If you think mustard is bad, you should try marmite.

Now, that's practically poison.

assuming it's text? i'll edit if not

[skittering]

why would i try poison

Oh yes, sorry! text works

[momsboy]

You really shouldn't.

I'm just saying that marmite tastes like regret and bad decisions. If someone offers it to you, don't eat it.

[Hey there! Guess who it is! It's the blindfolded weirdo again. This time she's typing in horrible, irritating l33t sp34k, but not in alternating colors quite yet because they're still working on that apparently.]

Lemon's obviously better, obviously.
But totally with strider. Kudos for starting us off with an ignominious bang there, bucko!

[Holler if you want to actually see her terrible text.]

[mindseer]

Are you going to make me repeat myself in explaining the obvious superiority of lemons to mustard?
I am agreeing with you after all!

[With indecipherable gibberish, but she was!]

[sanityinruins]

i'm sorry for your lack of taste

[skittering]

i can taste fine

[sanityinruins]

you do realize there are a lot of foods that use mustard in them, right?

[unakin]

You failed

[ It's anyone's guess if this was meant to be sent, really. Texting, Vanitas finds, is confusing and it's so very easy to be distracted. In any case, his follow-up text pops up a full minute later. ]

You failed to mention the colour of the mustard

i love ic misfires so much, thank you for that

[skittering]

❰ excuse me ❱

i did not

❰ that was to the first one, and by the time the second one arrives, he assumes it was meant to be an entirely separate text rather than the actual first one. ❱

yellow

He will insit this was intentional until his Dying Day

[unakin]

There's scientific proof that you did

[ And by scientific proof he means himself. He came, he saw, he proved stuff. Stuff that, it appears, relates to a completely seperate conversation? Someome send out a clue trout please...

That said, the next text comes with a delay yet again ]

Are we talking about a light yellow or a brighter shade?

[ look, he cares about the answer ]

[ See, there are a few things that don't exist in all worlds. There are also a few things which do exist in hers, but she's just never experienced them - since she hasn't experienced much, really, outside of other people's memories, and there are just some things in said memories which weren't important and thus got overlooked.

But that doesn't stop her from being curious, so, ]

What's mustard?

[skittering]

yellow. wet

people put it on food

it tastes bad

[lethechained]

[ The description doesn't sound particularly appetizing by itself. Scrunching her nose a little, Naminé fixes her screen with a bemused frown. ]

Then why put it on food at all?

[ragnarsson]

Thrilling information to have. You must regale me with your thoughts on fermented shark. If we ever find any around here that is.

[Is he being serious or not? One can only guess.]

[skittering]

is it worse than fermented trout

[ragnarsson]

Actually it's not that bad. The taste is strong but you get used to it.
