What's for dinner?

[negotiatoronsite]

Who: future is now & YOU
Where: Right outside the Dining Room
When: Day 6 evening

[ Welcome to the very subdued first Live of future is now.

Outside the Dining Room, two tables are set up with an assortment of cooking supplies, cool looking scientific instruments that may or may not be of any value here, and a sign that in sharpie so neat it cannot possibly have been written by a human reads:

Not enjoying your free food? Don't want to pay for higher quality? Allow us to help! Through the miracle of science, we're here to improve your experience. Please Inquire.

future is now stands behind the tables, READY TO HELP. Possibly. Look, it's called an experiment for a reason. ]

We have something.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah? What's that?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

That depends on you.

Willing to provide a few data points so we can get started?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Sure, ask away.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

What's your worst fear?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Sorry, dude. Don't remember.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

What does remembering have to do with anything?

[crossmyheartandhope]

What if I was like secretly super scared of celery or something cause of some traumatic childhood event?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

But you're not scared of celery right now, are you?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Nope.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Does that mean you're not scared of anything?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Nah. Everyone's probably scared of something.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .

Scratch worst fear.

I'll take a fear at this point.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Maybe I've got a crippling phobia of some guy asking what my worst fear is.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Laughs out loud at that]

Clever.

But why all the distractions? You could just lie.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Kinda skews your data, doesn't it?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You care about that?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Depends what you're using it for, I guess.

If it's some kinda personal interest survey, not so much. But if it's gonna break your big experiment, I don't wanna ruin your plans.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Fear of disappointing people. Got it.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Fear's kind of a strong word for it, but sure, if it'll get us moving.

What'd next on your list?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

That'll do.

[Heading over to the fridge/cabinet/wherever to grab one of the rations. This one belongs to Bad End=Dead End]

[crossmyheartandhope]

That's it? So what's the experiment?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Drops the rations in front of Hurricane]

Bottoms up.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Checking out the label.]

...uh. Think you grabbed the wrong one.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You are incorrect. I grabbed what I intended to grab.
