w1, sunday

[probe]

I do, actually. Know things and eat.
The kitchen then?

[toesies]

Kitchen sounds perfect. I'll meet you there. 😉

[probe]

[there's no reply text, but whether sheila's already there or not greed will enter the kitchen not long after and make their way to a counter, leaning against it and folding their arms over their chest. upon seeing her though, they will speak up.]

Good evening, Mrs. Hammond.

[toesies]

Good evening to you, too!

[Regardless of what order they arrived in, she has a meat smoothie and she is ready for business. You would think she would be turned off food between CYOA and toblevore, and yet...]

So, what do you normally eat? We can order it from the vending machine before we start.

[probe]

[sheila your smoothie. but it's fine, i suppose you can't stop a mombie. despite the fact that greed said they eat, they seem to be unsure of what to actually say to that.]

Anything will suffice. Something light? [they can actually get it themselves so they approach the vending machine and order themselves...noodles. hm. fair enough.]

The machines aren't the same as a well-cooked meal, but I suppose they're useful for times like these.

[toesies]

[Sometimes... the vore is somehow the least upsetting part of your extremely traumatizing experience.]

Yeah, I know... Did you know one of the girls, Aoi, only eats from the vending machines? I can't imagine that's good for her colon.

[What kind of noodles, tho. Is Greed, too, an rpanons level picky eater.]

[probe]

A tragedy. [this is said dryly but also slightly judgmental because ew...aoi...please eat something decent? also, since sheila's watching, it looks like ramen actually. huh.]

But I suppose not all of us can be a paragon of perfect health. [this is absolutely a joke given sheila has a meat smoothie. god.]

Would you like to stay here, or move elsewhere?

[toesies]

[Can't believe Greed is a weeaboo... "What if they're Japanese?" No, a weeaboo.]

We can move elsewhere. The kitchen gets a lot of foot traffic.

[Excuse you, her smoothie is very rich in iron and whatever other nutrients humans are made of. I am not googling that.]

[probe]

[correct. they will take their bowl and nod.]

The music room then. [because the common room is likely going to be filled with drinking and they think this is going to be a conversation that shouldn't be overheard. so. to the music room they go and they settle in a chair away from the instruments.]

[toesies]

[Literally taking a look around the room as they sit down because she has only been in here like, twice if even that.]

Huh. Not that I'm complaining, but this room?

[She will get to her actual question... soon...]

[probe]

Yes. I'm quite fond of it. [...] It was also likely to be the least occupied during this time of night.

[toesies]

Completely understandable.

[Nodding, nodding, taking a sip from her drink...]

Anyway! You've heard of what happened to me on Thursday, right?

[probe]

I've heard, yes. One of you told one of us and information spread from there.

[toesies]

Great, I don't have to go through all the details. Do you know anything at all about how or why that happened? Because I only enjoy being eaten in a sexual context so that was not fun.

[probe]

Again, your kinks are not my kinks, Mrs. Hammond. [why does this happen. but they pause to think.]

As for what it was and how it happened...that we are more uncertain of. We're looking into it.

[toesies]

[She shrugs and smiles like, just saying!]

Ugh. Well, I don't know if this means anything at all. But it was very heavy handed with the gluttony, and we had to step on a circle with your colors to leave. Maybe something went wrong with the recalibration?

[She has no idea what the recalibration actually is. It's fine.]

[probe]

Perhaps...[they seem to be contemplating this.]

What was it you were doing just prior to leaving?

[toesies]

[suddenly looking away fastly.]

... If you mean immediately before, that would be waking up in cages.

[probe]

[hm.]

So you were locked in cages, and then stepped in a circle as if to activate a portal back to the base. Is that it?

[toesies]

That would not be incorrect, no.

[probe]

Simply...sitting in cages? Waiting to be set free?

[they will wait.]

[toesies]

The cages were unlocked?

[probe]

[...hm x2]

And prior to that? What happened before you were in cages?

[toesies]

[... LOOKS AWAY BUT HARDER.]

We died. Of starvation.

[probe]

...a faulty recalibration would make the most sense with the evidence provided. And you were alive upon awakening in the cage.

[hm.] Might there be anything the four of you have in common?
