[ hunter, for the record, is wearing a slightly nicer version of this. except with no gloves, because his nails are painted gold.... with little flapjacks on them. this is important ]
[ he recognizes silco immediately as his investigation partner from the other night, though it is a bit weird seeing him in this context. ]
Oh. It's you.
[ he is so rude. he's about to make a comment about silco's complaints about the food, until... his outfit changes and hunter ]
[ NO THE LITTLE FLAPJACK NAILS???????? EXCUSE ME?????????????? ]
[ Silco is about to sneer about his laughter. He really is. He's about to do it when he looks down at his clothing, and grumbles very clearly under his breath. A muttered oath that doesn't quite reach the standard of an insult, but sitting here in his very fuzzy slippers and nightie is making him an even bigger sourpuss. ]
Apparently, these upgrades come with flaws. [ UGH!!! ] This is what I get for trying new technology.
[ Just wait until tomorrow when he gets his nanobot upgrade. :') ]
[ his beautiful red nails with little flaps (2 of them). hunter at least tries to cover up his mouth, though he still snickers a few times before he can get it under control ]
LILITH has a strange sense of humor. You get used to it sooner or later.
[ he keeps his mouth covered, but silco can tell from his expression that he's barely holding back making a sassy comment. flapjack is on hunter's shoulder, preening his feathers. oblivious to silco's pain ]
[ He says, eyes rolling between the boy to the bird, and then he places a hand over his face, pinching the bridge of his nose. ]
This is not a sense of humor.
[ Says Silco. Who knows that this would be extremely funny to other pranksters. ] Are you going to stay here and force me to live with this shame, or will you allow me some dignity?
I think they do it on purpose to get a rise out of people.
[ he remembers when lae'zel had to hug people for her technology.... but honestly, after spending 5 seconds talking to silco, hunter has made the snap decision that he deserves this. be an old man ]
Food's getting scarcer around here. There used to be actual meals in the cafeteria. [ so, hunter's about the same mind of this. he will even go get himself a nice protein bar since he has committed to harassing silco ]
[ It is a good thing he wasn't asked to hug people. He's even less likely to do so than Lae'zel. To be fair, Lae'zel has enough strength that she'd be fine, as opposed to Silco, who would look at the opportunity as one to get stabbed.
He might be unhealthy. ]
I'm used to scarce resources. It tastes worse than the byproducts from a canning factory, but at least it's something to keep us going.
[ He grimaced, as he looked at it. ]
That does not make it go down easier. Do the people on the streets eat as poorly as we do? Or is this LILITH who falls short?
[ only small girls who he can project onto are allowed to stab him, clearly. hunter has no objections to eating this food, silco will notice. he is not picky. even this tastes better than most food on the boiling isles ]
If you have money, you can buy food from the actual stores or restaurants in the city. [ but as silco is a newbie... good luck with that ]
It's probably just part of our punishment for the last mission.
Most people just spend their money from previous missions. [ honestly, if silco weren't.... silco, hunter would probably buy him some food. but unfortunately for silco, be absolutely is silco. i need to stop writing the word silco ]
[ but hunter keeps munching on his terrible nutrient bars with no complaints ]
That, or to teach you a lesson.
[ since he is still in his adorable old man nightgown... tee hee ]
[ He says, still in his nightie. He looks so deeply tired.
To be fair, in a little outfit like that, of course he does. ]
They "pay us" to do better. I'm sure most squander it on decent meals. [ He shruged. Bit at... this nastiness. It's fine, it's still palatable. Barely, but you know. ]
I'd be applauding the technique, if it didn't apply to me, too.
[ He said with a shrug. ] Sometimes motivation to base needs are what one needs for success.

this is the most beautiful thing i've ever seen

Oh. It's you.

[ .... laughs. rude af ]
im so glad

Are you going to spend the entire time laughing?

You're the one in public.
[ or semi-public anyway.... it is the caferia ]
You could always go back to your room and sleep. You are dressed for it.
[ being rude wins out ]

He's so fucking tired. ]
Perhaps when I'm done, I will. Especially since apparently, LILITH can't be bothered to create appropriate technology.
[ Man. Why him. Why this? What did he do to deserve this? He didn't do anything, he just wants to make people better.
Silco, it should be noted, is not very self-reflective about his flaws. ]
I refuse to let this faulty technology get in the way of a meal. I know better than to throw away food.

[ A twitch of his lips. ] Honestly, it's not that hard to pilfer some here and there. I'm surprised nobody has thought to... repurpose some.
For our own use.
[ A sniff, as he tried another bite. Geeze. He can't believe it's worse than his city's worst offerings. ]
After all, any "punishments" they're offering are just petty ways to try to make us work harder for them in the future.
