Oh yeah, it's totally fine! I'd maybe wait a few minutes to make sure it doesn't fizz everywhere when you open it but it's perfectly safe. Have you ever had one before?

[the fridge is upright! but now they're just staring at the food on the ground and sighing. it's a start.]

[enfangs]

Yeah, I've had a couple. [...] You good there?

[probe]

Yeah...[white may get the sense that they're pouting.] I get the whole indulgence thing means there aren't a lot of rules here, but some of you guys are really taking advantage of that. I just wanted to come down and play a game.

[monsters!!!]

[enfangs]

Hey, it's not like you have to clean up after other people's shit, right?

[probe]

[they consider this for a moment.]

I guess not. [it's kind of a big mess, but white has a point.] I can always do this later and see if anyone else does it first. Some people might use cleaning as their indulgence.

[shrug! but they kind of shuffle some things to the side before approaching white, peering up at him from under their hood.]

Molly sent you?

[enfangs]

It's not gonna be me.

[white can't even clean up after his own messes, let alone other people's.]

Sort of? He said he liked talking to you, so I figured I might as well see what the deal was.

[probe]

[white is valid. also, lust suddenly seems to brighten even more somehow, a faint pink glow coming from under their hood.]

I like talking to him, too. He's great. [lust is very fond of molly immediately which is terrible. but they fold their hands behind their back, rocking on their heels a little.] But I think it'll be fun getting to know you, too. Are you hungry? Thirsty? We can go get a snack from the kitchen and get to know each other better.

[enfangs]

[hm. glowing. weird.

but he perks up.]

Sure, I'm always up for snacking.

[probe]

[stop be nice to them. but yaaay snacks! they bounce on their feet for a brief moment before whirling around to exit the rec room.]

Let's go! [white will have to keep up because lust is nyooming a little faster than normal speeds, the click of their heels echoing on the floor as they head to the kitchen.] What're your favorite things to eat? Any preference?

[enfangs]

[it's fine white's happy to keep pace.]

I'm not into all the "good for you but tastes like shit" jazz, but I'll take what I can get.

[probe]

So not too picky but still with good taste. [they bound over to the vending machines, humming to themselves while hitting a few buttons.] How do you feel about sweets?

[enfangs]

Sure, hit me.

[probe]

[a small plate of taiyaki and two strawberry-flavored boba teas come out of the machine and lust claps in delight.]

Perfect! Here, this one's filled with red bean paste, and this one's got custard. There might be some chocolate-filled ones too, I just hit the buttons.

[everyone can be bribed with food.]

[enfangs]

[jan, squinting: what anime are you from

but everyone can, in fact, be bribed with food. white takes a few random taiyaki.]

Sweet! Literally too, even.

[probe]

[:)]

I thought you might like it. [they're reaching for one of the cups of boba and poking through the top with their straw.]

So. Tell me about you. Are you settling in okay and everything?

[enfangs]

[omnom]

It's not the worst place to be locked up in.

[probe]

[white?]

Um...do you get locked up a lot?

[enfangs]

[he shrugs.]

Not rece... actually, wait.

[does someone hijacking your body and keeping you trapped in illusions count as being locked up? that was pretty recent. should he count that? not too sure.]

Sometimes, I guess.

[probe]

[jan??? but also, hm, relatable. it's fine.]

On the bright side, at least this time it was your own choice?

[enfangs]

[lust are you okay]

Yeah, it's a first. And hey, we get to eat whatever we want here. So like I said, there are worst places to be stuck in.

[probe]

[a mystery.]

You're sure you're not one of Gluttony's? [teasing.] I'm glad though. Hopefully this place is comfortable enough for you guys to relax and really indulge as much as you want.

[enfangs]

Hey, appreciating knowing where my next meal is coming from doesn't make me a glutton!

[...]

Well, some parts of this place are kind of freaky, to be honest.

[probe]

Okay, okay! [give them a moment to take a huge bite from one of the fish.]

Which parts are the weirdest to you?

[enfangs]

There's a bunch of bodies lying around? I mean, I've seen that kind of shit before, but it's still creepy.

[probe]

Ooooh. Yeah, okay, that's a little creepy...but it's kind of cool at the same time. Mysterious and all that.

[that is absolutely not the takeaway here, but they seem sincere about that.]
