Let me see.

[I so googled Japanese flavors of chips, and I have decided what it is]

Calbee Pizza Potato Mentai Mayo. Dare to try it? It sounds like it'd taste...salty. It's got cod roe.

[Are you more adventurous than Nick when it's about flavors, Saber? I'm not sure I would. Unfortunately for me, Akihiko probably is adventurous enough to at least have a bite, if Saber doesn't, hah]

[rippled]

[ you are deeply underestimating how much saber loves food and will put things in their mouth. they try it right away, and just... chew...




keeps chewing. hm. ]

This is... unique.

[ziosar]

[I, Nick, bow down to your power, Saber]

Unique in what way?

[Well Saber isn't recoiling in tremendous disgust, so maybe it's edible after all]

[rippled]

[ ...

they just hand him a chip. ]

[ziosar]

[Akihiko takes the chip and munches on it. At first, he's visibly caught with his guard down despite the package telling exactly what flavor it was -- but as he chews, he dares to smirk]

I see. I'll stick to the more normal flavors.

[If it's horrendous, well, Akihiko doesn't let it show]

Or maybe I'm still unable to taste much. Jiaoqiu ruined my tongue the first day.

[rippled]

Really? What did he do?

[ saber has not yet been victim to jiaoqiu's like of spicy things. ]

[ziosar]

He offered me a hot pot thing. Turns out his profile having something about adding spice to things, three times, is not undeserved.

[And Akihiko endured that defiantly, even though he was pretty much crying in spicy despair]

[rippled]

... you are making me curious.

[ would it turn out to be a bad idea to taste it?

probably. but stupid curiosity wins out. ]

[ziosar]

I'm sure he'd give you some of that if you asked nicely.

[Jiaoqiu doesn't seem like someone who would pass a chance to mess with somebody else]

[rippled]

Hm...

Would you try it again?

[ziosar]

Why would I ever do that?

[He would...if he had a reason for it. Or wanted to challenge himself]

[rippled]

A sense of bravery? Adventure? Lack of common sense?

[ all of the above? ]

[ziosar]

...ah. I'll end up eating that again.

[He has at least two and a half of those]

[rippled]

Perhaps it will be easier a second time?

[ now that akihiko knows what to expect. ]

[ziosar]

Yes. I will be able to take measures to make sure I'll do better than I already did. Psyche myself up mentally, or perhaps find a way to numb my mouth.

[Okay, this is going to be a disaster. I'm so in -- I have to PC Flurry next week for this, haha]

[rippled]

I am sure that the convenience store may have something to help? It has many things.

[ they have no idea if this is true or not, they have never seen one before until now. ]
