An early - [Day 5] Video

[iobairt]

I do not suppose anyone else has received pineapple-themed foods this morning?

[Maya frowns at the camera before it pans down to some BBQ'd pineapple.

And then a heap of yellow Nutri-cubes.]

I asked for something not this.

[She swaps to text. ]

Perhaps I should, though the jungle is dangerous, is it not?

Hopefully this malfunction doesn't last.

"I'll take the dangers I know over whatever this is."

[Day barely knew what sugar was before the Gas Station, let alone exotic fruit. It's all a bit too much for him and he barely trusts the food processor to start with.]

[Maya blinks.]

It's pineapple. Do you not have it in your world?

[burstingstars]

The list of things Republic doesn't have is rather longer than the one of things it does have, which consists mostly of unpleasant ones. Or so I've been told.

[It's really not that easy to put "normal" into context when you grow up in a nightmare and only realize it later.]

[iobairt]

Much like my home could not grow them, then.

No matter. There is much that can be done with the fruit and it goes well paired with ham, for example. Though... Not to the extent the replicator seems to think.

[burstingstars]

I'll take my chances with the forest. Something in there must be in season.
Not like it'd be my first time skipping meals for a handful of days.

sorry for the slow. You are free to ignore if this is too late!

[iobairt]

Likely, though, is it safe to venture in alone?

[burstingstars]

It cannot be worse than the forest that is part of me.

[iobairt]

[Say what?]

Part of you?

[burstingstars]

I'm the Warden of... well, we call it Townsend Park now, but it's much older. But I got some of it to carry with me, to better care for it. Magic. Bits of gods and the trees and the beings living in it.
