Foodplot: Parte Uno [Closed]

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

After the 'bitching about Stacy' session finally reached a head, Sakura and Howard decided to actually do something about all the questions they had about their spacefaring fleshy home. Granted, they couldn't really find anything out about the Ohm on their own, and the Daligig were Right Out, so that left exploring the ship itself.

Time for them to find out what it is that they're putting in their bodies.

They drew on a few people they trust, or at least have figured out well enough to not distrust (more than they usually do), and now they're gathered at the mess hall at some awkward hour when no one is there to eat. They've brought Kanoe Zouichi (specialties: stuff going boom and wrangling Howard into being cooperative) and Ian Chesterton (specialties: hot cocoa, also science). And Ian's brought Barbara Wright (specialties: ??? and pissing Howard off).

Howard's tucking away at a tray of slop, figuring that if they're going to find anything that puts them off eating food forever, he might as well enjoy sweet, delicious ignorance now.

[zouichi]

Zouichi didn't really feel anger at the moment, just cynicism. He wasn't personally invested in the war -- in fact, after meeting the Daligig, he'd concluded it was likely that they were simply fighting for what was currently the lesser of two evils. One was bent on destroying worlds. The other they knew little about, save that they were willing to maim or murder their allies if they didn't toe the line. Besides, who was to say the Daligig hadn't started this face-off?

And of course the ship had been an enemy since day one.

But he was growing a little impatient. "So let's find out what this source is. That is why we're here, isn't it?" Unless they'd invited him here to exchange complaints, of course, and he had plenty of those waiting in the wings.

Silently, Barbara watched Sakura pace. She couldn't really understand why she was becoming so angry.

"Where would we start?" she asked Zouichi eventually. "And how? Do we need to pull things a part or break into some place?" They might need equipment if that were the case.

"With some equipment," Ian pointed out to Howard, but that didn't stop him from scooping out some of the paste with his finger and sniffing it.

"You're right." He smiled at Sakura. "Although it's energy that can't be created or destroyed. But perhaps the food is some output from Stacy. We drink milk from cows, perhaps this is Stacy's equivalent.

/wrap thread!

"What kind of equipment? Because if it's breaking in, I'm all set." He pats his backpack and slings it over his shoulder, gesturing with two fingers forward. "That way!"

Then he makes a face. "God, just when I thought we couldn't get grosser than cannibalism, Ian busts out that."
