[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.

Okay, well... Where I'm from, we know EXACTLY what makes up the body of just about every living thing.

And we know how to grow it from its component parts.

[He gives Alucard a grin.]

What you're eating? Is bacon, made from the elements that make up pork.

Meat without the need to kill something, in other words.

[superdrowningskills]

Ah. A particularly complex feat of alchemy.

[Not that that's having any effect how much of the bacon he's going to eat. Bacon is bacon as far as he's concerned.]

[freedom_engineer]

Quite.

If you can think of a meat, odds are very good that the new facility can create it. All Rin has to do then is cook it.

[A pause.]

No bones, though. So no T-Bone steaks, no ribs, no drumsticks.

[He gives Alucard a grin then.]

I figure this way, we should start having FULL meals. Rin's great in the kitchen, and this will give her more supplies to work with.

[And right about now Alucard is giving Colin the closest thing to a starry-eyed look that's ever likely to cross his face, barring perhaps being told that his mother had been found alive. He may not understand it, but you've totally sold him on the magic of science, Colin.]
