[It's midnight, the sixteenth. Honestly, everyone should be sleeping right now.]

I just thoguht of something.
that meat you buy from the store, what is it?

[...Except for when it comes to Rakka, she's been having a slight bit of difficulty with that. For a couple days now.]

I mean
where does it come from? Ive never seen a normal animal around besides pokemonoh no
are we eating pokemon?? is that it??

[And that would be where the texts stop for the night, but rest assured... or don't, Rakka is wide awake and ready for answers.

Or demands that she goes to sleep. That too.]

It could be synthetic.
But that's unlikely.
Vegetarianism wouldn't even be a safe alternative, as you'd never know if your salad contains grass-types.

[charcoalfeather]

[dirk why]

i never even thought about that.
but now I am
whyw ould you do that to a grass type wouldn't it hurt

[brocrux]

Probably.
Eating any Pokemon would hurt it, I'd imagine.
Unless you're thinking about just using a generated leaf from one of their attacks instead of chopping up an Oddish.

late

[charcoalfeather]

oof course it would!
id NEVER try to eat a live pkoemon!!
and youre saying it like somoene would just take a bit outof one

[brocrux]

Perhaps they do.
I'd imagine it would taste like a radish.

[charcoalfeather]

because it... looks like a raddish?

[brocrux]

Yes.
But it's evolved forms, a mushroom and a flowering plant, throw this theory off a bit.
I've never had an actual radish, so I couldn't test this.

[charcoalfeather]

[The reply comes rather quickly.]

raddishes are kind of gross.
they taste really spicy if you bite one but its also bitter

[brocrux]

Spicy and bitter?
Like a fish that's about to turn sort of bitter?
That's two things people have told me are less than favorable on their tongues.

[charcoalfeather]

I dunno Ive never tried fish that turned bad before.

if it actually tastes like radishes though then that's terrible
I mean, for the radishes. D:

[brocrux]

I wouldn't recommend it.

It could be terrible for the fish, if that's how they taste.
Comparing would be the only way to accurately gauge this but it is not an experiment I'm willing to perform.

[charcoalfeather]

i wouldnt do that either
you could get sick!
i mean im still curious i guess but
no!!

[At least this matter is being settled... Not one Rakk thought she would have to work on, but it's something.]

i think Ill stick to eating carrots

[brocrux]

Perhaps one day we'll come across a brave soul willing to subject themselves to our flavor tests.

How would you describe the taste of carrots?

[charcoalfeather]

you mean if we really asked someone to do it?
I
if someone said yes then i would be worried

[she's not curious enough to possibly hurt someone!!]

they're pretty sweet, especially if you cook them.

[brocrux]

Not terribly.
I would think it would be someone who was previously a species with a unique palate.

Interesting. I always pegged them as being bland for some reason.
Like an uncooked noodle but far more edible.
I should have known something with such an enticing color would be sweet.

[charcoalfeather]

the color? Orange?
wait
oh! I guess that's a color you like then.

[brocrux]

[ Rakka, that's cute. ]

Yes. I'm fond of the color orange.
What gave it away?

[charcoalfeather]

[no you!!]

your words, mostly.
I still don't know how you do that

[brocrux]

No?
I would have thought Dave and everyone would have revealed the secret of the colors by now.
It's a simple adjustment in the settings.
What color would you want?

[charcoalfeather]

[...]

I uh never got around to asking.
what color? uh, let's see if i go into the settings then
I got it!

[brocrux]

There you go.
Classic bright-ass green.

[charcoalfeather]

Isn't it nice?
it was the first color I could think of.
