USER: #2471A3 - Inquiry Regarding Foodstuffs and Other Edibles

[unfatalist]

[ USER: #2471A3 ]

It appears that as a group we've all generally agreed to utilize this forum as a means of sharing relevant information with each other and pooling collectively our experiences as we grow acclimated to our new circumstances, so in a similar vein — a few questions, if you will.

1) Has anything verifiably edible (and safe for consumption) been found in the wilds surrounding this town?

2) Has anyone yet identified a foodstuff that isn't altogether flavorless?

I don't know about safe for consumption, but I've been eating things I find and I'm okay.

...it all tastes the same, though. Maybe it would be better if someone cooked it.

[unfatalist]

Depending on how long it's been since you started consuming them, I'd imagine any averse effects would have manifested by now. When did you start eating them, and what all did you eat?

a bunch of nice people in the forest gave me apples!

everything i've tried has tasted pretty disgusting, but at least food is easy to find! and it's not so bad if you eat it really, really fast.

[Staying positive is... important...]

1. There are edible fish but they look weird.
2. Everything tastes like ash.

Would these "nice people" happen to be the shadow creatures you mentioned the other day...?

[passio]

I started eating them a little after I got here. I'm not sure really what I was eating... maybe grass. Some berries.

I ate some fish, too. They were bony.

[murdery]

[Hey, you're not OP!]

sure were.

[crowsigliere]

Nope! He might not be in the know for this tech, but a public conversation's a public conversation. He was hoping to find a source for proper, edible food...

I was afraid you'd say that.

[murdery]

they're not so bad. you just gotta go during the day and tell em stories.

[unfatalist]

You were able to procure fish, then.

[...wait.]

Did you not debone them before you ate them?

[unfatalist]

The forest is inhabited, then?

...By "shadow creatures". I don't suppose you could draw me a picture of what you saw?

[unfatalist]

What all have you found, may I ask? Anything of particular note?

[crowsigliere]

Did the apples at least taste as they should?

[unfatalist]

1) Weird how, exactly? I've heard "bony".
2) How utterly demoralizing.

[passio]

[ the next response takes a little longer to come than the earlier ones. ]

No?

I've had a couple different kinds of fish. They all had a few too many eyeballs or other parts. Tasted like shit, but it didn't kill me.

holy lalondian wordsmithing batman
1) apparently eating the fish hasnt killed anyone yet
2) nope

[glaciers]

1. Two heads. Extra fins. Limbs where there shouldn't be.
2. Are you a chef or something?

[unfatalist]

Small wonder you found it so unpalatable, then.

[unfatalist]

1) And you ate them?
2) I've dabbled in the craft, yes.

[unfatalist]

"A few too many eyeballs" is not a phrase I'd want to hear applied to anything I intended to put in my mouth, quite frankly.

I appreciate the confirmation that it failed to kill you, though.

[unfatalist]

"Lalondian"?

1) So I've heard. I believe full digestion can take anywhere from twenty-four to seventy-two hours, so if we all survive another day or two, that should be confirmation enough.

2) More's the pity.

[glaciers]

1. I have some stomach medicine. They're still fish. They taste as much like ash as anything else.
2. Must be even rougher for you.

[passio]

But it all tasted like ash. I don't think the bones made any difference.

[ ok well he's defensive now. ]
