video; backdated to during the yard sard
[Deon looks characteristically excited...but even more so than usual. And he's talking...a little faster...than usual.]
Okay, so I know about the jar of endless coffee beans in the Hotel, right? That thing is a godsend, it really is, but it's just not enough, you know? Well, I found something, during the yard sale, and I'd really really appreciate it if someone could help me set up something similar. It can be done, right? Course it can, there's an endless jar of coffee beans, this is a lot easier, or should be anyway.
[He holds an open can of Red Bull up to the camera. And the way he's holding it? It looks empty.
Take someone away from their fix for a couple months, and give it back, and don't be surprised when the reaction is a little stronger than usual.]
I found a whole case of Red Bull, and I'd like to know if anyone can make it so that it doesn't run out. Violates every law of physics I know, but the coffee jar proves it can be done, and I know there's people who can do all sorts of magic here, so how about it?

[You were also living on pot noodle, Deon, that doesn't mean it's healthy.]

[He's only 24, you know.]
no subject
And do you think that maybe your digestive system has changed in those years, since you've had the opportunity to move on from that kind of diet?
To, well, a healthy one?
no subject
My diet...hasn't really changed. Or, well, it hadn't until I got here.

do you see this face.]

Still, he has the good grace to look a little sheepish.] I was busy.
[Honey no.]

Hold that thought.

The best part about this is she's eating a donut in her icon.
[Uh oh it sounds like Callaghan called in for some Mom-level reinforcements. And she's looking stern with hands on her hips. You're already doomed, Deon.]

SURE IS A GOOD SOLID MEAL YOU'VE GOT THERE, CASS
AT LEAST SHE MADE THEM HERSELF. And they take more effort than cup ramen.
What was the last real meal that you've eaten?
[Do not make her mom you, because she will.]
pretty much anything takes more effort than cup ramen, tbh
...define 'real meal'? [he asks hopefully. Which is honestly an answer in and of itself.]
True dat.
Anything that is more fresh than artificial ingredients.
[Yeah, that nixes Cup Ramen and Red Bull both in one goal.]
And contains multiple food groups.
[And there goes coffee or the occasional fruit and/or vegetable.]
no subject
He actually has to think about this, before he volunteers,] Last week? [with enough hesitancy that he may or may not be giving a correct answer. Life's too short to worry about food groups.]
no subject
What do you like to eat? I can try to make something similar.
no subject
[What the hell kind of food does he like to eat? He can't remember the last thing he ate because he especially liked it rather than just because it was a necessary source of calories.]
Anything, really. Sorry, I know that's not very helpful. [Yes, Deon, there's a whole wide world of cuisine that doesn't come out of a styrofoam cup or a drive-thru window. Try not to faint.]
Why do I want ramen now. Damnit.
Oh. My. God.
It was worse than she thought. So, so much worse. She has the most horrified of expressions on her face.]
You don't have a favorite food?! Even Hiro has a favorite food!
huahuahua
[He is genuinely concerned that she appears to be in so much distress!]
Laugh all you want. Because I still don't have it.
[Because you sound like a person who values his brain, okay.]
