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.

[ballies]

Otherwise they'll go stale?

[resumed]

Yup. Terrible for eating but great for throwing as a last-ditch effort.

[ballies]

If you toast stale bread I've heard it's not as bad to eat.

[resumed]

If you have a toaster. I'm not sure it's something we're going to have to discover ourselves at least. For better or worse there seems to be plenty of food here.

[ballies]

Not starving is one thing less to worry about.

[ she is ABSOLUTELY going to forget to eat. ]

[resumed]

[ they're both going to forget and he doesn't even have the excuse of not being used to being fleshy. ]

One problem down, hundreds of others to go. [ shaking his head, but he glances toward his hood. ] You good up there?

[ the puff chirps. ]

...thank you, by the way.
