[boy oh boy, isn't everyone just so excited to explore this... charming... place...?

this is a game-wide mingle and the timeframe isn't super-important, so throw in with whatever you want! play war games, go shopping for gas masks, get lost in the wilderness, hide up in the Iskaulit and refuse to set foot on the moon, anything goes.

here's the main event info post for reference! have fun!]

Trying to steal from me my title.

[There is a hesitation, perhaps regret, as he finally lets his hand drop away from Leto's.]

I am far too selfish a creature to fall for that.

[ He nods, considering that. ]

That's probably for the best. Such a title would not suit me. And I have too many as it is.

I have quite a few as well, but that one is my favorite and I should not like to share it.

[ A mock sigh. ]

Well, if you're that invested in it.

What have I but words, words, words?

If you cease trying to steal my favorite name, then I shall likewise not borrow yours.

Ah, but I don't think you know which one is my favourite.

Then you shall have to tell me, or I might simply try them all on like a series of hats.

The latter sounds far more entertaining.

As it sounds meat for my entertainment as well, perhaps I shall do so. [Though it is a bit less fun when someone wants you to do so. Then again, he's very capable of borrowing names in a way that ought to annoy even Leto.]

I look forward to your results.

I'll be certain to make you a full report. With a nice leather cover and an index.

Even better.

[ Finally, he pulls his hand away. ]

[A flicker of disappointment at that, so quickly hidden it might never have existed at all. Better to not tempt fate or himself.]

Deliver it to your desk in triplicate with a latte and a bagel, I should think.

[The world is a joke, after all.]

What is a bagel?

[ Or a latte for that matter. ]

Human food. I'm surprised you do not know it.

A bagel is a sort of bread. Ring shaped, but not sweet. I believe they boil it before they bake it, which gives it a particular texture.

Interesting.

[ He can't remember little Loki ever having bagels. Most of his introduction to current food was through Loki and Ruby. ]

My student introduced me to them. [Little brother.]

I don't particularly care for food, but it is nice enough. Not sickeningly sweet, like so much humans make.

. . . I can't stomach human food very well anymore. It's part of the metamorphosis.

I would say you are not missing much. But... I have never liked eating to begin with.

What do you eat?

I don't need to. The Sandworm can go for long periods of time without sustenance.

That sounds very convenient. [Eating is an annoyance. He occasionally has an inkling of why he finds himself so disinterested in regular food, but it doesn't bear thinking on.]

Convenience is a point of view.

I can still digest food, but it's less pleasant over time.

I thought we'd agreed that nearly everything is a point of view.

I suppose you must find your pleasures elsewhere.

[ He grins. ]

I never hid my pleasures.

If you hide them not, then there's no sport in searching for them.
