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?

"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.

[swordfucker]

I didn't even tell you what else there were extras of. I guess with how some other people are eating things, I should mention I cooked mine over a fire first.

Are you compiling a list?

[unfatalist]

Well, now that you've said that, you can't very well leave me in suspense.

Less compiling a list and more simply taking a consensus. Sharing knowledge would seem to benefit everyone, at this point.

[swordfucker]

Wings, fins, I think one of them had legs. I didn't touch the one that had a big ball of shit hanging from it, but that's out there, too.

[Thanks Guren. But he's very much in agreement with sharing knowledge, so his silence in response to that is basically a text-nod of his head.]

[unfatalist]

That's one way to get a leg up on the competition, I suppose.

[WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS, IGNIS.]

Is that a colloquial "shit", or are you referring to actual excrement?

[swordfucker]

Aha, it matters? Actual, I think. It looked like where it kept that.

[A weird poop sack, he dares to say. Also that pun??? He hates it, he loves it. Good job.]

[unfatalist]

[he is making all his friends through his terrible puns, this is the worst]

I prefer to be precise. Particularly when it involves something I know very little about, and am trying to change that.

[swordfucker]

Well, there you go.

I'll let you know if I try anything else, too.

[unfatalist]

I'd appreciate whatever information you can give me, Mr...?

[swordfucker]

Ichinose.

[Typing out his last name first to a question like that came automatically, and he added after the fact.]

Guren Ichinose. And you?

[unfatalist]

Tellus Argentum.

[Sorry, Prompto. He's going to keep on borrowing your last name a little longer — and using his chosen fake name until such time as he decides it's safe to start giving up his real one.]

Charmed, I'm sure.

[swordfucker]

[...He sees a chance and he's going to take it.]

Why don't you Tellus what you've tried yourself? Or have you held back?

[unfatalist]

[...THAT'S IT WE'RE FRIENDS NOW. #FRIENDSHIP. HELL YES.]

And if I don't, will you Guren and bear it?

I've only made do with the nonperishables scrounged up around the city. I've yet to venture into the forest to do any proper hunting or fishing. Though I suppose I'll have to start sooner or later, if I'm going to work out how to make a meal out of any of these things.

[swordfucker]

[STOP THE PUNS THEY'RE CONTAGIOUS]

Hahaha.

You're right, though. It all tastes like ash, but if we try to live off of canned leftovers of gray mystery meet, it's probably not too good for our bodies compared to actual living animals.

[unfatalist]

On the other hand, there's a relatively low likelihood that food that's been processed and preserved will be poisonous for human consumption.

With wild animals, one takes their chances.

[swordfucker]

Those are the risks, aren't they. It's sad when I'd rather eat a five eyed fish than try whatever that meat mush was in a can.

[unfatalist]

And may you continue to live a long and prosperous life doing it.
