Ah, so you were listening. I thought you might be.

It depends on the country though, and the station of the person. At the palace, we could more or less get anything we wanted, including fresh fruits, chiles, even a fairly consistent meat supply. Though Piena's a land-locked country, so our fish and seafood is comparatively lacking. At many of the temples I trained at, the diet was limited to what they could grow in the fields or mountains around them, often beans as a key part of the diet. Being on the road, I'm also quite used to jerky. If I had to pick something that almost everyone in the world eats, though...? Maize? It's by far the most abundant food in the fields of most farmers.

[transmittable]

of course. seeing what you guys are good at is nice.

interesting. food's different depending on the place for my home too, obviously, but there's a wide variety depending on people's tastes. having more corn than anything else sounds alright. it's not a vegetable i really disagree with. would you say it's your favorite food?

[nachetanya]

Oh no, not at all. More something I'm used to! I don't dislike it at all, but to me that sounds like calling your favorite drink "water."

My favorite food is probably apples? They're something also grown everywhere in Piena, we're well known for them. The apples in the refrigerator don't feel as rich. I also really like lemons (as the profile shows) and carrots.

[transmittable]

ohh, got ya. if only we had an apple orchard here.

two questions. do you like carrots because of the rabbit motif, or was that a prior thing? and how can you eat lemons without your face going all wonky?

[nachetanya]

Oh, that's a question! Can we make food requests? Like to have a lot more maize one day in order to make a big feast?

1) I've had the rabbit motif since I was very small, but I've also liked carrots since then.
2) ? They're delicious and I'm not sure what you mean.

[transmittable]

food requests?? ohhh that's a good question. i can see? no promises. i've learned those aren't great when you can't guarantee.

1) how'd you choose rabbits?
2) they are so sour your mouth turns inside out how can you not know what i mean

[nachetanya]

Please tell me when you know. Ah, actually, did that bag or toy I requested end up in the vending machine?

1) I've always admired how they're quick-footed, and that even when they retreat, it's like they've still won.
2) I like sour things?

[transmittable]

that'd be a no. :/ there are bags in there, which i think you've come across? but nothing special. unicorn discrimination.

1.) oh, well, that makes sense. i just admire their cute twitchy noses.
2.) but HOW? it's SO SOUR.

[nachetanya]

Oh, that's unfortunate, I was looking to the chance to see those. But yes, I did get one from Daniel as a trade for one of his eyes.

But sour things are delicious! Well, and sweet things, I like both equally.

[transmittable]

good! very good, i'm glad you have something to help you around. and to trade, it fosters community. or something.

i guess sour's one of those tastes i can't handle? sweet i'm good with, and spicy? oh man bring on the spices. but sour? naw.

[nachetanya]

Oh see, now I'm not terribly good with spicy things. Even that curry I tried the other day surprised me with the kick to it.

[transmittable]

ha, there we go, a win!

obviously we're not competing but you know.

it's like a kick or a jump. it's exciting! is sour like that for you?

[nachetanya]

You're keeping score between us?!

Actually, yes, I think that sounds right. A shock to the brain? or the tongue i suppose

[transmittable]

not REALLY, i just got caught up in the moment...

i guess we just like different kinds of shocks, then. that sounds bad but you know what i mean.

[nachetanya]

Particularly in light of your collective's execution method.

But oh, if you did, I'm proud to think you see me as "ahead."

[transmittable]

[ A small delay. ]

right. yeah. different phrasing. sorry.

[nachetanya]

I wasn't very offended, don't worry.

[transmittable]

okay. good. i'm glad.

anyway. you aren't really AHEAD it's just in this one case, okay?

[nachetanya]

I haven't surprised or shown you up before now?

[transmittable]

you've surprised me a few times, but shown me up? no, i think not!

[nachetanya]

I feel like I have once or twice!

[transmittable]

like when?

[nachetanya]

When I tricked you into thinking there were unicorns.

[transmittable]

what?!?! no you said there were, unicorn-like fiends!!! horses with horns and everything!!!!

[nachetanya]

... How do I show a smile over text?

[ Either way, she has an impish smile in person. right now. She can see it, right??? ]
