[This Live is being broadcast to your phone from a cafe, Levity sitting behind one of the tables with an assortment of coffee drinks in front of him and a... visual aid... being projected onto the nearby wall. Is it a graph? Is it legal to call that a graph? (OOC: also CW for pictures of cartoon food in the link!)

He smiles and waves at the camera, then gestures at the various coffees in front of him.]

Hello, everyone! I've been exploring the foods and drinks we have available to us here, and got to thinking about how one would separate those categories. So, today I would like to present a theory: soy milk mocha latte is a three bean soup.

Now, a soup can be defined as a combination of solid ingredients that is then boiled in water - or another liquid - to extract the flavour. This, of course, means that the basic coffee mocha is a soup, and the soy milk can be argued to be a thickening agent, although I don't believe it's boiled at the same time as the base coffee. But nevertheless, I feel confident in making that assumption. Thus, we can call coffee a soup - and, given that all three ingredients are beans, it's obviously a bean soup. And, much like a regular soup, it can be served hot or chilled!

[He picks up one of the cups in front of him, sipping the drink soup thoughtfully.]

Perhaps some might argue that coffee lacks the solid ingredients that might be characteristic in most soups... to which I answer: marshmallows.

[Annnd he picks up a handful of those teeny coffee marshmallows to drop them into his drink. It's nearing critical levels of sugar content now.]

Thus, I believe my reasoning is rather flawless! Would anyone like to argue?

How do you get milk from a bean?

[weenwoon]

[god the urge to say something stupid and trick Vergil is SO POWERFUL

but also, he knows Vergil is baby.]

Well, though it's called "milk" it's closer to juice! It's mostly called milk because of the similarity in appearance and taste.

[auguryofinnocence]

[That's so respectful, more than he deserves.]

I still don't understand how you would juice a bean.

[weenwoon]

[Little a respect! As a treat!]

Grinding, I believe! And filtering out the remaining pulp.

[auguryofinnocence]

That seems an awful lot of work when you could just eat the beans. And get more out of it. Why are humans so bizarre...

[ouji4board]

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me!

[weenwoon]

I knew you'd understand!

[ouji4board]

Thank you, thank you! How's the everything else going? Are people agreeing or arguing?

[weenwoon]

No one seems to have come up with any counter arguments! Though Vergil was very confused as to how and why one would milk a bean.

[ouji4board]

How would one milk a bean?

[quickpersuader]

[Opens mouth.

Closes mouth.

Considers.]

No, that's actually a good point.

[Huh!]

[weenwoon]

[he's TOO POWERFUL]

May this knowledge serve you well in your travels, young Kino.

[quickpersuader]

I feel like Hermes might argue it... or maybe he wouldn't? Motorrads don't need to eat.

[weenwoon]

[i......... Forgot if he's seen Hermes rip in rip]

Maybe he would argue out of principle?

[quickpersuader]

[If he's seen a Kino memory, he has seen talking motorcycle with them.]

He does seem to enjoy being contrary for the sake of it sometimes.

[ OH!!! ]

If coffee's a soup, then it counts as a meal right?

[weenwoon]

An unbalanced one, nutritionally speaking, but the same can be said for a lot of foods!

[composeur]

So I can just drink coffee for every meal, right?? Wait til Sena hears about this!!

[weenwoon]

[go forth and wreak havoc, his new child]

It could be a new diet!

And I don't know the person concerned, but do tell me how they react.

[onemoreknight]

Wow! It's obviously wrong but I can't think of a single argument! How cool!

[weenwoon]

[He's too powerful.]

I can't believe my own unitmate would try to prove me wrong!

[onemoreknight]

It's a debate, right? There's no teams in a debate!

[weenwoon]

Then I would be honoured to have you as an opponent, dear Valumi!

[firstworldproblem]

[Goodness, Levity.]

Has anyone come up with a riveting counter argument?

[weenwoon]

[Did you miss his gremlin side.]

Not yet! In fact, someone declared they're going to drink coffee for every meal.
