Because we may be likely to overlook something if we are distracted by hunger?

[slobjection]

That is one very important reason, yes. One of many.

That's why it's important to snack.

[fishingforcompliments]

...but if I am not hungry, then I shall not be distracted by hunger.

What are the other reasons?

[slobjection]

You think that, but the hunger sneaks up on you when you least expect it. That's why you have to defeat it preemptively.

For one, to maintain high energy levels. Investigation takes a lot of power, both mental and physical.

[fishingforcompliments]

What snacks do you suggest for an investigation?

[slobjection]

Pudding, foremost.

[ the signature snack ]

[fishingforcompliments]

How is it made?

[slobjection]

No idea.

[ shouldn't he know?? phoenix??? ]

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh, that is too bad. I would have tried to make it...

[slobjection]

Well... there's chocolate in it. That's a start.

[fishingforcompliments]

[oh my god for a second i thought they were talking about noodles like in one of our other threads and was like CHOCOLATE NOODLES?}

...we may be able to to find chocolate in the kitchens, I suppose.

[slobjection]

[ yea chocolate noodles ]

And milk... I think. Something milk-like.

[fishingforcompliments]

[i have actually purchased chocolate pasta before]

Hmm... it must have an interesting consistency.

[slobjection]

[ of course you have ]

[ also lets have a new pc post trial ]

I can get you one for reference.

[ flayn trying to recreate pudding based on store bought pudding is truly a horrifying prospect ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[ABSOLUTELY]

If you would like! I could also attempt to make it using just your description. Perhaps it would turn out correctly!

[no it won't.]

[slobjection]

Shall we head to the kitchen then?

[ for horrible pudding experiments doomed to fail ]

[fishingforcompliments]

Yes, we shall!

[failure: imminent]

[slobjection]

[ timeskips to kitchen.... gets a chocolate pudding... open it up for her. ]

Take that.

[fishingforcompliments]

...

[sticks a finger into the pudding]

It has an... odd consistency.

[slobjection]

Just try it.

[ and it will change her world!!! maybe. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

I wonder how it would be recreated...? Hmmm.

[flayn is from a world where there aren't ingredient lists on packaging, so she goes to the sink to wash off her finger, then goes looking for chocolate and milk to get started on trying to make something that matches it.]

[slobjection]

So you're aiming to do it based off of looks and touch alone? I wish you luck.

[ she's really committed to this. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

It will be an interesting challenge!

[she's gonna fail hardcore.]

[slobjection]

I look forward to what you produce.

[ he shouldn't. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[he really shouldn't



but she nods and gets to work! the first attempt is, uh, an unappetizing mixture of melted (and slightly burnt, somehow) chocolate with milk. it's entirely too soupy looking to be right...]

It needs something to thicken it...
