Thirteenth Dive [Video / Action for Loki]

[manlypassion]

Alright, Asgard.

*Aoto and his super casual greetings. He gives a glance to bracelet as he is crouched down like a delinquent somewhere in the Loki streets, looking about at the chaos of candy.*

I get the whole 'It rained candy!' thing is apparently a thing. In fact you'd have to be blind to miss this detail. But putting aside the fact it all fell from the sky in a relatively harmless way from what I can see-- aside from the fact my cat kept trying to eat them-- I have a very serious question for any of you who have this kind of candy where you come from.

Whhhhhhy the hell does it taste like chalk?

... ... and before anyone pings in on it, no, I'm not telling you why I know what chalk tastes like. That's a story nobody should be interested in!

Because you're enough of an insufferable idiot to actually taste them.

[Video]

[5thchild]

It does sound like an interesting story.

[manlypassion]

Hey, free candy is free candy.

[Video]

[manlypassion]

It's really not! ... unless you're the type who likes hearing about childhood idiocy, I guess.

[Video]

[5thchild]

I like to listen about everything.

[integrous]

... Wait, why would candy taste like chalk?! That sounds like it should be a crime, that's practically deceiving people!

[seventeenpills]

You know, Aoto, whenever you say something shouldn't interest people, most people can't help but be interested.

[Video]

[manlypassion]

You like to listen, or like to talk about?

video;

[manlypassion]

It's false advertising, plain and simple! It would be better if you could actually write with it and still tasted like it.

[manlypassion]

That is when I will simply employ diversionary tactics!

[seventeenpills]

Heh! I guess that's a pretty good way of dealing with it, sure.

[Video]

[5thchild]

Both.

[Video]

[manlypassion]

That mean you have a chalk related story up your sleeve?

[manlypassion]

It's the only way, if I want to divert it completely.



Barring knocking them out.

[pratentious]

The better question may be why you felt inclined to taste objects that fell from the sky.

[seventeenpills]

....I think I prefer deferrence!

[integrous]

Why would you want to eat either way while you're writing?! It means your paper is eventually going to get all soggy!

[Video]

[5thchild]

No, not really.

What I mean is, I like to speak about the reasons that lead to some actions. Even if they were "silly". It's how you get to know others, after all.

[Video]

[manlypassion]

Ho ho... So you are curious about what poor life choices I made that led up to me tasting chalk, eh? I'm not sure how much that'd tell you about me though.

[manlypassion]

Why wouldn't you want to eat when you're writing? It's like adding some spice to a dull task!

[manlypassion]

Hah. It's not like I can reach through my bracelet and nail somebody in the kisser anyway.

Even if that would be a useful feature to have.

[ video ]

[manlypassion]

Hey! People were eating that snow stuff. Why not this? Besides, it's meant for consumption, ain't it? Candy is candy, even if it's been on the ground for a bit.

[ video ]

[pratentious]

The ground, perhaps, but what fell from the sky? Unless you shot it yourself, it seems far too suspect for my comfort.

[integrous]

Then at least get something to eat that's just part of what you're writing with..! That kind of solution isn't that hard to think up!

Re: [Video]

[5thchild]

I don't think it's a poor life choice. Thanks to it, you are able to tell chalk isn't tasty and able to compare the candy hearts to it.

[Video]

[manlypassion]

... I feel like you should be laughing at me after saying that, yet you aren't, so now I'm confused.

[manlypassion]

--you mean an edible eraser?! Or a pen that writes using something you can eat?! I know people gnaw on pen caps, but that's a whole new territory!

[ video ]

[manlypassion]

Flavor favors the bold!

... or it would if this stuff actually tasted sweet.

[Video]

[5thchild]

Do you want me to laugh?

[integrous]

They could probably make edible erasers, right? They just need to find something that can erase stuff, yet tastes good at the same time!

[ video ]

[pratentious]

[ . . . He's just gonna go with no on that first bit. But - ]

Is it meant to be sweet? I've never seen anything of its likeness before.

[Video]

[manlypassion]

... now that I think about it, I haven't seen you burst out laughing...

[manlypassion]

If I were back home, I could definitely make something like that... Hands down, easy as could be.

[ video ]

[manlypassion]

Of course it should be! Candy needs to be sweet, or it just ain't right!

... that, or sour! Sour is also a perfectly fine flavor for candy.

[Video]

[5thchild]

I never have.

[ video ]

[pratentious]

And chalk is not an acceptable flavour.

[ he doesn't know what chalk is, but he's trying to keep up. ]

[integrous]

.. Huh, really? [ it surprises her mostly since.. well, even the very idea of it seems so difficult to her, but this guy is talking like he's saying it's nothing. ]

Are you some sort of super inventor?

Yes, let's put anything that's free into our mouths. That's a foolproof strategy.
