Unless you're up for some cannibalism?

[noprophecies]

That is - eating human meat, yes? Goodness no. I don't eat meat.

[someone is sometimes bad at sarcasm]

[outstandingbalance]

[Oh. Well. This is a thing.]

It was a joke. Not a very good one.

[noprophecies]

. . . my apologies, some jokes are a bit lost on me.

[outstandingbalance]

It's all right. I'm used to it around here.

[noprophecies]

Then I suppose I am glad that I am not the only one who does not understand some jokes. No offense, of course.

[outstandingbalance]

None taken. Humor is very particular. And it's possible I'm not all that funny.

[There are definitely a few people who think that.]

[noprophecies]

That is true, but at least you have a sense of humor. There are some who cannot claim that.

[outstandingbalance]

I'm glad someone around here appreciates it.

[noprophecies]

I try, even if I may not understand the jokes.

Where is it that you are traveling to, if I may ask?

[outstandingbalance]

Shopping. I had a few things I wanted to look for while we're here. Who knows when I'll have another chance?

[noprophecies]

That is true enough. Even if the planet is loud and crowded, there are still certain necessities.

[like tea. And maybe a sharp weapon]

[outstandingbalance]

Food that doesn't come in protein gel or solid is a high priority.

[Not a fan of most things that can be described as gel.]

And something other than vodka might be nice on the side.

[noprophecies]

Goodness, yes. That is on my list of things to buy - fresh fruits and vegetables, mainly. If I have to eat that bloody gel another day I may destroy the damned machine for offending my taste buds.

[is she joking? Is she serious? It could be both]

Vodka? That is an alcohol, yes? [she tilts her head with a thoughtful hum] Have you tried whiskey? That is one I have acquired a taste for here.

[outstandingbalance]

I have tried whiskey—and I'm a fan. It can be hard to find good stuff, but when we do... it's worth the extra money.

[Joking or not, Natasha's response is the same.]

Do they not have whiskey where you're from?

[noprophecies]

Mmm, I have learned that. The more expensive the better - it is one of the few things I will pay more for.

[she shakes her head] I think we have it, but it does not taste anything like it does here. And it is expensive and not worth the gold. Ale and mead are far more popular.

[outstandingbalance]

Mead, huh? That's not one you see much of where I'm from. Though it has its fans.

[Norse gods, mostly.]

Whiskey's a more acquired taste. Most people back home would rather drink beer.

[noprophecies]

Obviously you have not been to a medieval world before. It's one of the most popular things to order.

I . . . do not think I have ever had regular beer. Whiskeys and vodkas, though. And - mm, rum? I think I had that once.

[outstandingbalance]

I'm not a big fan of rum. Too sweet.

[Natasha smiles, glancing out the window.]

You're right. I've never been to a medieval world before. Maybe some day?

[noprophecies]

Mmm, I am not fond of sweet things either.

[she makes a soft noise, almost a laugh]

I can assure you that you are not missing much. But perhaps.

[outstandingbalance]

Oh, I don't know about. Every world has something going for it, probably.

[Gently, a little teasing.]

Fewer crowds, at least.

[noprophecies]

It does have that, at least when it is not a holiday.

But then again, one can always leave the cities for quiet.

[outstandingbalance]

Not always. Sometimes, the chaos follows you.

I imagine that's the case everywhere.

[noprophecies]

Mm, unfortunately, it is like that at times. [a sigh]

[outstandingbalance]

Spoken like someone who has experience with it.
