[Day 191 | Open] What's that familiar sizzling sound?

[freedom_engineer]

Who: Colin, anyone who wants breakfast
Open: OPEN
What: One word. BACON
When: Day 191, Morning
Where: The Distillery
Format: Take your pick
Warnings: Who needs a warning when BACON is involved?

Three days ago, Colin introduced his new buildings to the Bastion. This morning, the lab's work had finally come to fruition. Colin brought a slab of skillet-ready bacon to the kitchen, first thing in the morning. The kitchen was freshly upgraded, how fitting it would be to have it broken in with fresh meat?

Rin had been apprehensive at first. Artificial meat couldn't be good, could it? But that apprehension seemed to melt away gradually like so much fat off of sizzling meat as the bacon cooked.

So, when everyone shows up for breakfast, there's a giant serving platter loaded down with bacon to go along with the rest of the breakfast for the day.

Go nuts, everyone.

"But I'd still need to know the cuts, right? I learned that stuff a long time ago when I was first startin' out, I don't remember it very well by now."

"Very true, very true," Colin says, nodding. "There's only so much that technology can do without some level of external influence."

He looks amused for a moment, as a scenario runs through his head. "It still gets me that there are people that don't know where their food comes from," he adds after a moment.

"It's not like most people take tours of factories. Way I see it so long as the stuff we get in stores are safe and healthy, it's not worth worryin' about that much."

"I disagree, but it's not really important, and it's certainly nothing worth fighting over," Colin says, shaking his head. "Just a lifestyle choice is all. I'm not trying to contradict you here."

He puts his hand to his forehead, and he sighs. "Why did I even say it, then?" he asks, once again to nobody in particular.

[hellpyre]

"Why d'you say anythin' you say? It just irritates people when you talk like that, y'know."

And here you have Rin, telling it like it is.

Colin just gives her a flat, albeit apologetic, look.

"You should be used to my mouth now, eh?" he observes, shaking his head and giving her a small grin finally. "Let's just get you up to speed on the facility out there. It's as easy as a picture book."

[hellpyre]

"'Used to it', and 'Okay with it' are two different things, Colin. Even I know that."

But she won't argue with learning the ropes of that meat machine.
