“I see now that the path I choose through the maze makes me what I am. I am not only a thing, but also a way of being—one of many ways—and knowing the paths I have followed and the ones left to take will help me understand what I am becoming.”

If you were going for chewy, I’d tell you to eat it with the meat first. But since you said bloated…

[ like that makes any sense ]

[insinning]

Mm, the broth is good, so...

[It makes no sense but Sinclair has never had any of this before and Deto is clearly a master. He will follow]

[deto]

Yeah, but bloated noodles take more stomach space. So you wanna get in all the good stuff first.

What do you like eating the most?

[insinning]

I guess the meat, but the mushrooms are good too.

[Surprising!]

[deto]

The mushrooms in this game are pretty good. When I was eating them off the ground, they weren’t bad either.

[insinning]

--you picked them off the ground??

[no]

[deto]

[ yeah? ]

Where else? Mushrooms grow on the ground.

[insinning]

And ate it without checking?

[THIS IS HOW MITHRUN1 DIED]

[deto]

[ who again ]

No, I checked to see if it looked like a mushroom.

[insinning]

But some mushrooms are poisonous...

[NO]

[deto]

It’s fine. I’m fine. [ still alive kek ] It’s definitely better cooked though. I read somewhere that you can’t overcook mushrooms, so doesn’t that mean you can’t undercook them either?

[insinning]

Um. I'm not actually sure. [Looking around HMMM] If you say so...

Just make sure you check descriptions of items before you eat them...

[deto]

Okay, Mom. [ strangely enough it doesn’t come out like an insult? somehow?? ] Did someone get mushroom poisoning before or something?

[insinning]

...worse. Fugu poisoning.

[he'll just roll with this even though it's rude as hell]

[deto]

[ excuse, deto quite likes his mom. don’t be rude to moms, vogel ]

? How? Was it not prepared properly?

[insinning]

[He is not a mom??]

Someone ate it. Straight from the water, with no prep.

[deto]

… Look, I don’t think… we can compare the two situations here. The core problem here isn’t two people who just picked things off the ground willy-nilly, but, uh, one person who straight up swallowed a pufferfish.

Mushrooms can be poisonous, but isn’t always. Pufferfish have spines and are always poisonous? If I saw a mushroom with spikes, I would not be eating that.

[ … ]

Just to be clear.

[insinning]

Um. Thank you for the clarification.

[genuine.]

But yes, the...pufferfish event was very traumatising for a lot of people.
