[Granted, there's exactly one person here who might understand Shinji's choice of user name, and that's a pretty big 'might.' But it wasn't taken, and it's not like the Iwatodai crowd know nothing about Greek mythology. There's just another layer to it.]

So. Money's presumably a thing here, since this isn't a void between worlds where you can just think shit into existence and I don't just have Mitsuru levels of it on hand. (Anyone else who knows Mitsuru: Yes, that much money is exactly as weird as you think it is.)

What do people do for jobs? I can cook and I can hit shit.

Maybe. Ain't exactly my strong point either.

[konpeito_aji]

[He laughs at that, but has no known way to communicate it. Someone teach him lol!]

Masamune Date's either. There's three -- no four, things you can always count on him for.

1) Cooking. He's one of the best ever. At least that I've ever known.
2) He's always willing to dive to the frontlines as much as any of the Oda clan.
3) He's always late! Especially to war council meetings.
4) He's almost more of a flirt than Takeda Shingen. And that's saying something.

[fruitknife]

Well, if you really need chronic lateness or flirting in your life, you'll have to ask somebody else.

Diving into a fight depends on the fight.

[konpeito_aji]

I can definitely do without those things. I mostly tolerate them, only because he's so good at the other two.

Lethal. We don't just hit. Mitsuhide's the only one who shoots better than me, Hideyoshi would conquer everything if I let him, and Mitsunari and Ieyasu fight better with leading into the future. But Masamune dual wields.

I'm fairly certain I can hold my own for killing any threats, but cooking is another story.

I still want to try mochi ice cream.

[fruitknife]

We mostly weren't fighting people.

Yeah, yeah. Gonna need more to cook with than a microwave.

[konpeito_aji]

In my experience, the "monsters" were always human. However, I believe you, given this place.

When you have the opportunity, I won't forget.

[fruitknife]

Never said we didn't run into human assholes. [Unfortunately, one of them is here.

At least Takaya's up front about it and not cloaking everything behind affable puns.]

Considering your sweet tooth is apparently the size of Hokkaido, I really didn't think you would.

[konpeito_aji]

You did say mostly.

An entire world made solely of candy could not satiate my appetite.

[fruitknife]

Yeah, mostly. A lotta the human side of the problem was dead before most of us ever heard of it. Guess that's what happens when you go 'let's start a death cult, what could possibly go wrong.'

You'd make yourself sick sooner or later with that much sugar.

[konpeito_aji]

At least they mostly got rid of themselves.

I'm not so weak a mortal to be harmed by a little sugar. Or even infinite.

[fruitknife]

Maybe, but you don't actually want your pancreas to hate you that much.

[konpeito_aji]

My what now?

[fruitknife]

The thing that makes it possible for you to eat sugar.

[konpeito_aji]

How is that a thing? Why is that a thing? Why can't you just eat infinite sugar?

[fruitknife]

Take that up with whoever you blame for the human body's design.

[konpeito_aji]

I will!

I wonder if magic or even more advanced technology can surpass this limitation.

[fruitknife]

That. Probably ain't the best idea.

[konpeito_aji]

Why not?

[Listen Shinji, you tell him he can't eat all the candy he wants because of the pancreas, and then you tell him he can't upgrade his pancreas? Pick one!]

[fruitknife]

You had enough candy in one sitting to crash when the sugar high wears off yet?

[konpeito_aji]

No. It's much too rare for that.

[fruitknife]

It's a bitch and a half. If you eat nothing but sugar you will feel terrible sooner or later.

[konpeito_aji]

You've experienced such a thing?

Though I imagine eating only one of anything would feel awful, wouldn't it?

For all the monks claim humans should live off of only rice and tea.

Even only eating fish doesn't seem good.

[fruitknife]

Exactly. Your body needs more than one kind of food to function.

[konpeito_aji]

I was just thinking it wouldn't be fun not to experience all the best life has to offer.

[fruitknife]

That too, I guess.
