so imagine you're making ratatouille and you don't like tomatoes. you don't like the taste, the texture, the putting them in water and the peeling them-- ugh! so you say to yourself "lookit, this whole dish is nothing but vegetables, so what does it matter if i leave the tomatoes out?" a seemingly innocuous decision on the surface, but 2 hours or whatever later when you're done cooking, you open the oven to find a complete mess! just a pot full of baked vegetables, none of them congealed or somehow unified. what happened to your beloved ratatouille?! so you take to google and find that the tomatoes are an essential ingredient of ratatouille, as they forma a "sauce" of a certain kind that makes the whole thing work. and so a seemingly innocent decision has destroyed the very foundation of the established order with disturbing ramifications towards the whole. in this essay i will examine how martin luther's 95 theses lead to protestants being more boring than catholics.

Yeah, I am.

[She told Maverick so there's literally no point in hiding it any more.]

Human foods make me kind of crampy, tbh, my digestive system doesn't work like it used to. Blood's way easier to digest.

[escardos]

aw that really sucks. no wonder you guys are so inefficient as beings.

well, doesn't it get boring to just drink blood all the time? what do you do to make it different? what about like...blood popsicles?

[transfusionem]

Yeah, it kind of sucks not being able to enjoy the stuff I make anymore, but some stuff isn't so bad. Regeneration is pretty neat.

Blood popsicles would be a good idea for the summer, I'll have to remember that. And all blood tastes different, so it's not all bad. Some people are tastier than others and all that.

[escardos]

so do you get it directly from the source? or does the infirmary give you your Designated Blood Bag of the week/day?

[transfusionem]

Designated blood bags - though it's not the same.

[escardos]

mmm it's the more efficient method, i guess.

but if you ever need any, i guess i can offer mine?

not sure how tasty i am though.

[transfusionem]

It's definitely easier than hunting.

Are you sure? I mean, it can be pretty painful.

[escardos]

they say it's important to try new things in life!

but also don't bleed me dry please and thank you!

[transfusionem]

Generally that doesn't mean "make yourself a snack for an apex predator".

But I know restraint!

[Is she being serious or not... Who can say.]

[escardos]

but ok! good to know!
