[BBS] monsters are not food

[espio]

Word of advice:

Don't eat bite bugs. They make you sick.

And if you've already made yourself sick by eating bite bugs, don't be an idiot and do it again just in case it turns out better the second time around.

[TRANSLATION: Guess who's managed to make himself ill? He really shouldn't be trying to eat things that can shoot poison at you in the first place, but hey - when bugs look like food to you, those things look rather interesting.

He might as well try to make himself feel better by trying to gross out Min and the other Trepies.]

Only if you're gross! >|

that's so disgusting!!!

[espio]

There's a shiny new thing called "nature." Sounds like you're not too familiar.

[wrnpcs]

with what???? I don't need biology to know that humans can't eat bugs

[espio]

Well, it's a good thing I'm a lizard then, isn't it?

But humans can and do eat bugs. It's just like eating shrimp.

maybe some weird off-worlders do, but no one in Balamb does. That'd be like eating a dog!

[espio]

Only if bugs were loyal pets. Which, you know, they aren't.

[wrnpcs]

ew no! ugh why am I even talking to you about this???

you'd probably just keep eating weird stuff!!!

[... Espio probably won't get a response for a while. This Trepie's too busy gagging at the thought.]

[espio]

[Trying to make it worse, now.

Well, okay, I have to say that bugs count as people in my world.

[OBVIOUSLY there's a difference between eating a random, ordinary housefly and eating a bug who's actually a PERSON, but does the Trepie need to know this?]

One of the people I used to work with was a bee.

[wrnpcs]

[He's succeeded. Beautifully.]

EW

that makes you even worse than a bug eater! now you're a murderer!! >| I'M NEVER SPEAKING TO YOU AGAIN. OK???

[espio]

[Oh, Trepie. Espio feels much better after talking to you!]

OK!
