002: [video]

[topslug]

[ Yako's obviously in her MAC apartment, hair pulled back away from her face with a kerchief and still wearing an apron, though she's kicking back on her couch instead of actually cooking at the moment. ]

I'd like to welcome everyone who's arrived in the City over the past month. I haven't really been using the network much, so I haven't had the chance to greet everyone, but hopefully I can be better about that.

[ She pauses, like she's mulling something over, before continuing. ]

Also, since people here come from all over the place, we must have had the chance to eat all kinds of things. What's your favorite food? Is there anything at home that you can't find in the City, or vice versa? What's the strangest thing you've ever eaten?

[ She looks like she might be about to launch into more questions, voice rising with more obvious passion for the subject, but she's interrupted by the sound of an oven timer going off. Her face visibly lights up before she hastily turns the feed off. ]

Comments

[psychopass]

It's nice to see such a pleasant greeting. I believe we've had he food discussion before, though, in our first conversation.

[He gives her a short chuckle]

But should you wish to talk about it again I don't mind.

[topslug]

[ She laughs softly, too. ]

I could probably talk about food for a while if I got started, so I'm more interested in hearing what other people have to say.

[psychopass]

What exactly is it that's so appealing about food to you I wonder?

[demonspawn]

I'd say people's fears makes for a weird diet, but that's probably not what you meant.

[topslug]

[ She laughs a little. ]

It's not as strange an idea as you might think. [ Her demonic partner, after all, fed on something that was close enough. ]

Do they actually taste any different? Can you taste them at all?

[demonspawn]

Not like you taste food. It's kind of a sixth sense. I don't know.

[adventureboner]

Popcorn!!! Honest to goodness overpriced cinema popcorn slathered in low-cost theater butter.

[topslug]

[ She laughs. ]

It certainly sounds like you know what you like. Do you watch movies a lot too, or is it just the popcorn for you?

[adventureboner]

Heck yes! Nothing quite like a good flick, the movie popcorn is just a bonus; and I should say I make the simply greatest movie picks in my experience.

[tridentkind]

Hi! I don't remember you from last time I was here. My name's Feferi! And I eat fish!

[preferably raw...]

[topslug]

Well, I've only been here a couple of months, so you must have been here before then. In any case, it's nice to meet you, Feferi! I'm Yako.

There are a lot of fish out there -- are there any that you particularly like?

[tridentkind]

Hello, Yako! I just got back, actually. So that must be how we missed each other.

I like all kinds. I never met a fish I didn't like, you could say! [a rather mischievous giggle]

[soulbonder]

My favorite food? [mmm] I can't really decide on one. [why did she have to ask] I like rice, pizza, spaghetti, pesto sandwiches, salad, tomatoes, grilled cheese sandwiches, ice cream, donuts, cinnamon buns, zucchini bread, sweet candies, sour candies...

[topslug]

[ astral, you're making her hungry... ]

Those all sound pretty good to me. [ she grins. ] Honestly, I don't think I could pick a favorite myself. As long as its good food, I'll like it.

[soulbonder]

[he just looks sheepish, because he's hungry right now. but some asshole will call him fat if he tries to eat another meal today. GOSH] Yes, I think I'm the same way. [he doesn't really know. this whole eating thing is still new]

There are foods I don't like to eat, so I don't, but the rest are very, very good.

[Permavoice]

[wisecracked]

Pizza. Only food you ever need. There's plenty of pizza here but so far I haven't found any as good as this one place back home.

[topslug]

What made that pizza so special?

[seeksherownsalvation]

Hey. Hey! It's you!

[ And she points at the screen. ]

[topslug]

[ Oh. It's. Her... ]

Erm... yes, it is. Sakura-san, wasn't it? [ She'd been wondering why she never heard from her after the auction... ]

Hot wings. The best food in the world is, hot wings. It's indisputable.

...I don't think it's odd, but I've been told it's off-putting. Pig's blood and Weetabix. Gives the blood good texture and just a little bit of extra sweetness.

[topslug]

You must have tasted some pretty good ones to say that so confidently.

That's a combination I haven't heard of before. [ She looks amused, but also like she's trying to wrap her head around it. ] I don't think I'd give it a try myself, but I'll take your word for it.

[invoking]

Anything from those "fast food" restaurants. [ From the disdain in his tone, he's obviously talking about the strangest thing he's eaten. ]

permavideo

[topslug]

They would be a little strange for someone who's used to eating home-cooked meals.

voice;

[onetouch]

[This is a super serious question?!] Have you ever eaten a white trouffle?

permavoice;

[topslug]

I've never had the chance to, but I've heard about them! [ Of course she has, she's way too obsessed with food after all... ]

What about you?
