When: Day 6, afternoon
Where: The Ruined Hull
What: General exploration post!

[ The Ruined Hull has been unlocked! The go-team has been in the area for a while, the stay-team members who are so inclined have probably meandered over here somehow by now -- time to go exploring, but keep an eye on those suit power levels ♥ ]

[ That's the best logic ever Lance, don't change♥

Even if Inui does give him a look for the pineapple comment. ]

What? No. It was way too sour for pineapple. How are you getting pineapple from that??

[ Did kissing the Kharids break your taste buds or something ]

[ceruleo]

[ Um, excuse you. ]

You didn't even know what almonds tasted like! Your opinion isn't valid.

[dateme]

I know what almonds taste like Lance. [ Come on bro. People eat them all the time in Japan. ]

[ceruleo]

Uh, you totally thought that coral-looking plant tasted like chestnuts, dude.

[ GOT RECEIPTS ALL UP IN HERE ]

[dateme]

Because it did. It only smelled like almonds... [ Okay!!! He's not crazy ]

[ceruleo]

[ Nah this ish is personal now. ]

I'm pretty sure that isn't how taste works! If it smelled like almonds then it tasted like almonds.

[ YOU CAN'T TAKE IT BACK NOW. ]

[dateme]

[ HE HAS NO INTENTION OF TAKING IT BACK ]

Clearly you've never had fermented soy beans. [ Because man do those smell awful and not taste awful at all. ]

[ceruleo]

Fermented soy beans? That sounds nasty!

[ Super sensitive. The most sensitive. ]

[dateme]

[ IT IS DELICIOUS WITH SHOYU AND ONION HDU??? ]

Nah, it's not that bad. I mean it smells bad but the actual taste isn't that bad? Kinda nice to eat in the morning on a cold day.

[ceruleo]

[ In the morning on a cold day, huh...? Mmmm. ]

My mom used to make old clothes for us to eat.

[dateme]

Old...clothes?? [ What do you mean like eating sock soup or something here ]

[ceruleo]

[ It takes him a moment to realize that, once again, the translation didn't parse. ]

It's a shredded beef stew! With like, tomato sauce and peppers. My mama's is the best.

[ Of course. ]

[dateme]

Ohh...you mean hashed beef rice? I get that when I eat out sometimes at restaurants.

[ He totally has the wrong fish here, but to be fair Hayashi is sometimes made with tomato sauce ]

[ceruleo]

If you say so? It's pretty popular. [ Maybe??? ] Guess I have to try more Japanese food.

[ Not that he'll get the chance to any time soon... ]

[dateme]

If Japan even exists anymore, haha~

[ Yeahhhh excuse him while he drops that bomb and tries to play it off like nothing ]

Maybe the whole planet's gone by now.

[ceruleo]

[ Well that sure took a turn. Lance isn't escaping this, is he? His brows knit together. Fuck that.

Instead, he gets up, shocked a bit at how--bizarrely crisp the edges of the leaves seem. He feel energized, ready to take on whatever this planet has to give them. ]

Whoa. Dude, get up.

[dateme]

What? Why? It's actually pretty comfy down... [ 'Here' is what Inui was gonna say, but the moment he actually pushes himself up from just lying down he finds himself feeling charged as all heck, like it was just waiting to kick in when he moved. ]

Uhh. Oh. Wow. Uhh.

[ceruleo]

[ Lance blinks. ]

You ever had like, a shot of espresso on an empty stomach?

[ This is what that feels like. ]

[dateme]

No?? I don't drink coffee. [ Because holy hell if this is what it feels like he may never. Inui feels wired, almost jittery as he stares down at his...yup, shaking hands. ]

[ceruleo]

Okay, so, once before this big astronautics test Hunk and I totally pulled and all-nighter and ended up crashing at, like, 4AM? Anyway, we overslept and had to book it to class to take the exam, and instead of breakfast we had these big mugs of freakin' strong coffee—

[ He laughs a bit breathlessly at the memory, Hunk's anxious face letting himself get roped along in Lance's unfailing energy. ]

I don't even remembering taking the test, I was so wired. [ He curls his fingers into a fist. ] Point is, I was buzzing all day. This is nothing, we'll probably be fine.

[dateme]

...Do you ever plan for anything, or do you just sort of stumble your way through stuff? [ Just saying, Lance. If someone planned ahead they wouldn't need to all-nighter or pump themselves full of so much coffee they forget time. ]

Because a lot of the time I don't think you do.

[ceruleo]

C'mon, do you really think they'd let me fly spaceships if I couldn't handle it?

[ Yes. The answer is yes. ]
