Serious question time:

If you could choose between cheese popcorn and caramel popcorn, caramel would be the obvious winner, right?

Do you ever get hungrier than usual, or is it constant?

[At last, someone who understands why making yourself sick on sweets is so worth it.]

Ah, do you think so? That does sound like an interesting approach, tactically speaking. Sort of like a sweet sneak attack!

[mithrarin]

Define 'usual', but there are times I'm... really hungry. Usually after I've been fighting, or training.

[koukai_kirai]

I see.

...Still, there has got to be something more satisfying for that than just filling up on sugar.

[mithrarin]

[Sick? Oh no. He's never managed that.]

[His ability to pack down food is phenomenal.]

Exactly. Catch him unaware.

[mithrarin]

I'm not saying it's the only thing you eat, because food in general is really delicious, but for fun and treats? Sugar and sweetness is where it's at.

...actually, that might explain why certain someones preferred cheese.

[koukai_kirai]

Cheese is fine, in moderation. Not what I'm accustomed to, but I don't mind it.

[Souji would be so jealous. He's impressively good considering how skinny he is, but he still absolutely makes himself sick on the regular. And then tries to comfort himself by eating more candy.]

Thank you so much for your tactical advice. After all, I'm doing this for his own good. [Hesitating a moment here.] Also, where would I be likely to find caramel popcorn?

[priforprince]

It's available during all major events at Apollo's CelePara.

Try it when next you attend.

nobody lets you get within 1 km of me because why would they ]

[waitingforhope]

I suppose, if I really had to choose, I think the flavor of cheese would go better with popcorn.

[mithrarin]

Guess 'sugar and sweetness' don't apply to you either?

[mithrarin]

A lot of different stores in the Far Shore have some in big tins. Some of them even have three different types of popcorn in one tin...

[mithrarin]

I have standards!

[mithrarin]

You're not accounting for the sweetness of caramel in balance to the saltiness of popcorn here.

[priforprince]

Then there's no issue.

[ Other people's worlds are so narrow. ]

[waitingforhope]

But popcorn isn't ALWAYS salty.

Besides, cheese is a fuller flavor. Especially if you go for a lesser common type. Everyone does cheddar. What about Gouda or Peppercorn Jack?

[redmare]

Of course it's sticky when it's melted!

Obviously it wasn't real, geez. Because swords don't go with the setting! They only use swords in fantasy type movies or those historical types.

[mithrarin]

The ISSUE is that fruit doesn't go with popcorn! It should be used for sensible purposes, like parfait and ice cream!

[mithrarin]

If you don't have salty popcorn, you're not going to get flavored popcorn... salt is like the first and primary flavor. And you're making my point. Cheese is too strong for popcorn.

[mithrarin]

Melted and then dried, no way!

And I get that, but it means the fights are all pretty... I dunno, grim? Not fun, anyway. Instead of a big clash where the hero's skill comes out, it's just ducking behind walls and oddly convenient packing crates and getting lucky with shots.

[waitingforhope]

Not for me, it isn't.

[priforprince]

Those who've never sampled an experience have no right to sit in judgment.

[ This is just a classier way of saying something she was told mere days ago by a sentence ender user, about gum. But that does not occur to her.

And even if it did, that case was different. ]

[mithrarin]

But then you're not tasting the popcorn, or you don't have enough and miss the cheese!

[mithrarin]

...That's not true, on any number of moral levels.

[Whoops. Hibiki accidentally flipped Dust's switch from "silly" to "intense".]

[priforprince]

[ Meanwhile, the amount of royal damns Hibiki has to give are dwindling. Sometimes, when people are wrong, they're just...wrong...and unfortunately, rehaprilitation is impossible. ]

Think as you will.
