[ ah. he sort of smiles a little uncertainly upon seeing the food. ]

You think that might work? I didn't try sharing pizza with it yesterday.

[ballies]

Maybe? At the very least, there's meet on it, and if that's what it was focused on in the first place...

[ a shrug. ]

Worth a shot, right? Worst thing that happens is they don't want it and I go and feed it to Nimona.

[resumed]

I don't know if it was so much the meat as it was something new. There's a lot of food it's never seen before. [ the baby leans forward to sneef. ]

It's worth a try though. And good to know Nimona will take leftovers if we have to.

[ballies]

I get the feeling Nimona will eat anything. You know when people just have that vibe?

[resumed]

[ there's a sage nod. ]

No, I guess that's a good point. I'm still getting a read on everyone here but she seems kind of easier to read than others. I'm less surprised when you put it that way.

[ballies]

[ how is the baby finding the smell of pepperoni and… feesh… ]

Yeah, there’s a lot of people to get a read on here. It’s not like a couple of days tells you everything about everyone anyway. People can surprise you.

[resumed]

[ the baby is curious but not particularly ravenous. it's not strictly a carnivore, but it seems morelike it's interested in food that's new. so the feesh is more interesting to it than the pepperoni right now. ]

And without knowing how long we're really going to be here, we might have our observation period cut short. [ haha. ] Have you met a lot of people here so far?

[ballies]

[ she nudges the feesh towards it, just a little. consume, little one. ]

A few? Some in passing, some in a bit more depth. We’re a pretty interesting group.

[resumed]

[ you know that scene in httyd where toothless sneefs the feesh before he just unhinges his wholeass jaw and reveals all of his teeth? that's what baby does with this fish, revealing several needle-sharp teeth but it doesn't bite tama. it shall consume. ]

Interesting is a word for it. I'm still trying to figure out everyone, too. There's a lot more of us here than I expected.

[ballies]

[ gasp.

teefies. look at it go! ✨ ]

Thirty-five, or something like that? No wonder this capsule hotel fills so squished.

[resumed]

I've shared spaces with even more people before, but this is a downgrade. [ he reaches up to pat the shadow-creature while it eats. ] I'm still not sure why there's so many of us to begin with. What do they really need us for?

[ballies]

I guess we'll find out when we're able to pose 20 questions at the leaders...? If they show up at all.

[resumed]

They're going to have to if they want the hotel to stay in one piece. I can't imagine everyone will keep being patient for much longer.

[ballies]

We have caused so much property damage.

[ said so matter of factly. ]

[resumed]

And this is just basic damage. [ soda is lowball shit. ] I'm a little afraid to see how creative people are going to get.

[ballies]

Very. Probably.

Soda's a pain to get out of things though -- it feels sticky for so long afterwards?

[resumed]

Sugar's already pretty bad. Liquid sugar's kind of worse. I've had enough cups of soda from McDonald's explode on me for a whole lifetime.

[ballies]

… Why were you letting soda from McDonald’s explode on you?

[resumed]

It wasn't like I was letting it happen on purpose. [ sometimes you're a baby and you're still learning how to control your ghost-summoning powers, let him live. ]

[ballies]

And yet, the consequences came for you anyway.

[ skill issue, nico. skill issue. ]

[resumed]

I was ten. [ give him a break!! ]

[ballies]

[ she just giggles. ]

[resumed]

[ :| ]

--here, do you want the other half of this? Now that they're eating, I doubt they'll want the bagel.

[ don't laugh!! ]

[ballies]

[ :D ]

Oh, uh— sure? I can take it off your hands.

[ … she will, but she will just look at it for a bit instead of biting it. ]

[resumed]

[ yay.

except she's staring at it. why are you staring at this perfectly good bagel? ]

...if you're actually not hungry, I can figure out somebody else who'll take it. Probably Ace. Maybe Nimona.
