Third Floor Common Room; Monday Morning [05/17].

There was, that morning, a low, disgruntled humming sound emiting from deep within the throat of the young, broad-shouldered man stooping slightly to peer into the refrigerator that seemed to no longer hold any of the fine produce and ingredients that he had picked up for Monday morning breakfast anymore, but instead held a lot less and nothing that seemed particularly appetising.

Least of all because Wayne got this distinct feeling that things had changed again, and, really, now, if you were going to be a weird island with things like aliens and talking cats and dogs and magic and whatever the fuck else, it seemed that the least you could do was just stay the same type of weird for a while instead of going and mixing it up and giving everyone fucking whiplash all the time. It just seemed impolite; get your shit together, island. Clean it up.

The cabinets didn't seem to fare much better, though he did find a few bags of potatoes and an exorbitant amount of potatoes (not very good potatoes, really, they were some of the saddest potatoes he'd ever seen, but they'd do) and canned gravy in there.

And if a good old Canadian country boy like himself couldn't make do with potatoes and gravy (and some mystery meat, too), well, then, he might as well just turn in his citizenship right now, pack up, and move on out to El-Laaaay to go eat tah-cos and go hiking, fuck.

"Mystery meat, huh?" Vette considered it for a moment as she took the plate, and then just shrugged and grinned. "I have no idea what poutine is, but I fear no food."

Having more than one stomach kinda helped with that.

"Yeah," Vette replied, shrugging and picking up a piece of potato between her fingers - forks were optional in Vette-land - and popping it into her mouth. "This past little bit has been messed up, even for this place. But I'm here to tell you that you still cook a mean potato?"

With gravy. And mystery cheese.

"It's not usually this constant," Vette sighed, "but yeah, sometimes this place gets weird. Really weird. Didn't your sibling tell you that when you first got here?"

Vette had to find them and thump them, if not.

Vette hummed a little, processing that -- okay, so Mister Fluffycakes had probably gone into stubborn mode -- and then nodded, eating another potato and some... cheese substitute... before talking again.

"Yeah, there are things. This place plays fast and loose with the laws of spacetime. It's annoying."

There was an understatement.

That it was annoying?

Totally a constant, yup!

"In the meantime, hey, there's potatoes and mystery meat," Vette noted. "Breakfast continues as usual, more or less."

She seemed to be enjoying it, for what it was worth?

"Duly marinated," Vette replied, nodding solemnly. "That said, I would love to see you get blood from a stone. I bet that's a heck of a sight."

"Yeah, I'm pretty familiar with stones, too," Vette offered. She wasn't going to offer why. Ever. "Pretty sure I haven't seen any bleed, but it's a big galaxy." A beat. "Multiverse, even."

"Probably somewhere," Vette agreed easily. "Or else we're both just completely full of poodoo. One of those things."

Vette paused.

"Uh. No?" She squinted a little. "It's the stuff they feed to banthas. It smells a little like shit, though...? I mean, I'd almost rather be full of crap, I think."

Vette blinked, and then broke into a little laugh.

"Besides delicious?"

This was a helpful reply, right?

"Big, big shaggy desert animal. People keep them as transport animals and for food, mostly."

"I... have no idea what a camel is," Vette admitted, smiling a little crookedly. "Maybe? Do people eat camels?"

chirpchirpchirp: (Think Think)

"Ohmygosh," Vette whispered as she leaned in for a good look. "They're so round!"

Look at those big squishy camel bellies!

"... But those don't look anything like bantha do. Those are closer to eopies, maybe, only eopies have little trunks." She considered for a moment, and then added, "Bantha are much more broad, all over. Maybe as tall as the ceiling in here, but they do have the four legs, and big curling horns?"
