[ 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.

[ballies]

No, it’s fine. I’ve just never had a bagel before.

[resumed]

Really? [ tama your food. ] They're actually not bad, don't listen to them. [ gestures to the baby. ] Easy to eat, easy to steal.

[ballies]

[ don't tell the AI cop you're stealing bagels. ]

Alright... I'm trusting you on this one.

[resumed]

[ what's she gonna tell, tattle on him to ryuki? ]

It'll be fine. You just have to take a bite and you'll know right away if you like it or not. [ it's a decently toasted bagel with jam, and now i wish for one as well. ]

[ballies]

[ yes. ]

... [ do you know I have never had a bagel with jam? somehow in my head they are completely a savoury food and i have them with cream cheese and/or smoked salmon. ]

Okay, well-- here goes.

[ she will have a little nibble ]

[resumed]

[ becks your bagels!! that's fair i love bagels and lox. but sometimes you just want a lil sweet tweat which is what this is. ]

...and the verdict?

[ballies]

[ i did just remember i went through a phase of putting this chocolate/white chocolate/cookies & cream spread on bagels a few years ago. my teeth hurt thinking about it. ]

It's really soft.

[resumed]

[ I'm losing it. also he seems to think this is a little funny. ]

Well yeah. Bagels are still bread. If you don't let them sit out for too long.
