[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.]

Practicing being an Instructor, huh?

[espio]

Well, I guess it is a useful lesson. First day, intermediate martial arts, "don't eat the monsters, kids, they're bad for you."

Kind of a shame, really. There's so many monsters, you'd think they'd have the decency to be edible.

[redcinemareel]

Idiot.

[espio]

Oh, you think?

The nausea seems to be doing a better job of telling me that, I gotta say.

[redcinemareel]

This Garden is full of non-poisonous food, and you chose bugs to eat.

[espio]

I get peckish in hot weather. And anyway, technically, I'm supposed to eat bugs.

[redcinemareel]

Somehow, I don't think you have much expertise in this area of bug eating.

[espio]

Did I say I did?

[redcinemareel]

Then you shouldn't give advice.

[espio]

Okay. Go ahead and eat a bite bug. Don't listen to the one currently vomiting for Balamb, he has no idea what he's talking about when he says they make you sick.

[redcinemareel]

Thank you.

[wrnpcs]

EWWWWWWWW

why would you even do that??? :(

[Alas, one of the Trepies has discovered the BBS.]

[haha_steelguard]

You'd think they'd cover that in the basic course. I'd like to think no one ever suffered because I didn't mention it myself... but, here we are.

[gogoghostpowers]

Wow! How did they taste?

[espio]

They probably think it's common sense.

[espio]

[JUST AS PLANNED. No, really, he hoped to get such a response.]

Like I told Grell up there, hot weather makes me hungry! Bugs are convenient.

[espio]

Honestly? Not that bad, but I don't think humans would appreciate it.

[wrnpcs]

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.

[haha_steelguard]

Sure, but it looks like there's one or two in every crowd that needs the warning, right?

[espio]

In my defense, I'm pretty much designed to eat bugs. It's just that most non-sentient bugs are too small to make a meal, and I prefer other food anyway. I'll just try to avoid poisonous ones.

[wrnpcs]

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

[haha_steelguard]

I'm pretty sure that even so, 'bite bugs' fall under the 'never eat anything bigger than your head' rule, don't they?
