day 223 - "even the SOUND of bacon frying is like applause!"

[magisperica]

Who: Skyla and you!
Open: Open
When: Day 223
Where: All over the Bastion
What: MEAT SURVEY aka "why stop at donut trees when you could have BACON CROPS"
Format: Started with prose, will match with whatever you want to use
Warnings: Skyla's pottymouth, will edit if anything comes up.

So. So.

If you're out and about around the Bastion today, you'll find yourself pulled aside by Skyla, no matter how busy you may be. As shocking as it is that she's actually making an effort to interact with everyone, even more puzzling is the little notepad she has with her, that appears to be occupied by some kind of meat-centric tally chart.

She'll kind of glare for a moment, like she's irritated at being drawn into a conversation (despite the fact that she's the one who started this in the first place) before saying, in a completely casual voice;

"What's your favourite kind of meat? If you're a vegan or some shit, just pick the one that starts with your favourite letter of the alphabet."

No, this isn't an innuendo and yes, you are going to have to ask for context.

The tall boy she stops outside the distillery does indeed look to be rather confused, as does the otter-like Pokemon trailing at his heels. The two of them blink at Skyla for a moment, before the boy puts on an awkward smile and responds.

"Ah... excuse me?"

Did this girl really just randomly ask him about meat?

[bulletofhope]

. . . uh, favorite meat...?

[ Skyla, why are you asking him this right now. Naegi just looks more confused if anything at both her choice of conversation starter and her previous glare. ]

... what's this about?

[amphibian]

Skyla! Hi— [wait wait wait what's this about meat?]

Eh, eh? Just one? It depends how it's cooked, doesn't it? Nothing beats tonkotsu with some extra pork fat, but there's so much you can do with different kinds of beef...

Rob both tenses and starts slightly as Skyla touches him; his mind had been elsewhere while he'd been harvesting from the farm and he hadn't registered her approach. The delay before she actually says anything doesn't help either. The question is also unexpected, but it's still an improvement from the previous two points because he at least understands how to respond to it.

"Uh, bacon, though good beef is a close contender. Why? You deciding what to get the meat-making machine to churn out next?"

[superdrowningskills]

"Vegans," he responds in his usual deadpan way.

It's a joke of course; he may never smile, but Alucard does in fact have a sense of humor.

Well that was unexpected. Being pulled aside while carrying several Pokemon (a Zoura and a Darumaka in his arms, a Woobat on his shoulder and a Swablu on his head) wasn't what N was expecting to happen to him today, and there's a collective of confused looks at Skyla from all of them as she asks her question. Zoura yips nosily, though the others stay relative quiet.

"... if I don't eat meat how do you expect me to choose based on a letter?"

[croceamors]

Ham. [It's probably telling that Saix doesn't bat an eye at random weird questions. He also doesn't bother asking her why.] Doing something productive with your time then?

[coolerthansora]

[Oh no, it's this scary girl again.]

Um. Does fish count?
