Did you know you're able to buy summer loving delicacies in bulk enough to keep your summer loving always young at heart?

Also, did you know phosphorescent marshmallows are a summer loving delicacy?

Also, did you know that buying a specified number of these bulk products automatically enters you as eligible to win a lifetime supply (limit 300 years, not bad) of the summer loving delicacy?

That's what I heard. Sounds great, doesn't it? I'm pretty excited. I hope I win. But I wanted to mention the chance of winning to the rest of you, too.

[Moments later...]

I'd never thought of this before, but surplus makes a lot of people seem very much more cheerful.

I haven't seen that one before, but it's probably delight? I understand.

[sylphid]

wrong

[paraclete]

Well, I guess they're not for everyone.

[But if she doesn't enter, he has a better chance of winning, so...]

Hopefully you find your charm of choice.

[astrobleme]

Did you really buy that many phosphorescent marshmallows?

[...]

Do they taste good?

[paraclete]

Oh, yeah. The chances of winning seem pretty favorable. I haven't eaten any yet, though.

[Even though he wants a lifetime (limit 300 years) supply?!]

[astrobleme]

You shouldn't let food go to waste, Kaworu-kun.

[paraclete]

It won't be wasted if I've won; no worries.

Summer loving? Tell me more, tell me more.

[paraclete]

A love held during the summer is said to be especially tender and warm. That's what I heard.

The marshmallows and myself share the same glow of ardor, is what I was told, although I should say they're greener than me.

[onlyanapple]

Oh, but those summer nights.

Yes, well, that's probably due to them being poison. Try not to each too many unless you literally can't die, hmm? You'd probably leave a messy, glowing corpse.

[paraclete]

Nights like no other, for sure.

Oh, death is a very special thing. I won't let something I eat do that.

[interstices]

I thought you were about to advertise something else.

[paraclete]

Yeah? Like what?

[interstices]

Summer loving massage oils.

[paraclete]

Bergamot and black currant?

[itstheirworld]

you make it sound like they gave you a job.

[thank you, miss obvious.

also hi fellow shipmate]

[paraclete]

No, I'm the one who paid them. They called it a "hard bargain", which has a nice sound to it.

Want some? I have so many, now.

[He's a little like the ship's cryptid, and hasn't been outspoken to crewmates in a bit despite being moony and pleasant when he does say hi.]

[itstheirworld]

i'm not sure it sounds like you did.

i'll pass. phosphorescent and marshmallow makes it sound unhealthy. just how many did you buy?

You know those contests are like 90% scams right?

And how are they going to send you your lifetime supply once we, you know, fly away?

[paraclete]

10%... Not bad.

Their contract promises inter-galactic shipping. Presumably, a person could move around a lot during the next 300 years.

[helladoomed]

Didn't say a ten percent change of winning, I said ten percent chance it's not a scam man

You really think they're gonna chase the fleet around?

[morphitudinous]

[Even a nerd is confused here.]

...it has aphrodisiac properties?

[paraclete]

It doesn't. Its loving relates to an expression of ardor, not anything specifically amorous. So I'm told.

The salesman said he's not legally inclined to sell me that sort of thing because I can't provide proof of age, and also that I probably don't need it in the first place.

Although I'm perfectly happy with the marshmallows as they are.

:)

[morphitudinous]

Well that's...unusual.

But they definitely look interesting. How's the taste?
