Serious question time:

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

....A world in which sweetness is seen as a detriment instead of a benefit...

I'm sorry for what you're enduring.

[koukai_kirai]

I'm not "enduring" anything from that!

[mithrarin]

With that logic? Do you enjoy cakes? Or cookies? Or ice cream? Or ice cream cakes with cookie topping?!

[koukai_kirai]

No, no, no, and absolutely goddamn not. Tell me "ice cream cakes" aren't actually something people eat. Lie, if you have to.

[mithrarin]

I won't lie. Ice cream cakes are worth the truth!

[Somewhere, a dramatic breeze is tugging at Dust's cloak, and his determined frown carries the intensity to move mountains.]

[koukai_kirai]

That's revolting.

[Hijikata is not about to budge on this point.]

[mithrarin]

And that's why you have my sympathy. Whatever's taken your ability to recognize deliciousness is... it can't be an easy burden to labor under. All the more so because you can't even realize it...

[koukai_kirai]

"Delicious" and "sugary" aren't just the same thing!

[mithrarin]

One is a huge part of the other! Or at least it's supposed to be!

[koukai_kirai]

Even if you think that, there's such a thing as too much of a good thing.

[mithrarin]

...all right, I may disagree here too, but that one might be because I'm a shinki and we're mostly on the hungrier side.

[koukai_kirai]

Here I just thought mine was a glutton.

[He sees Souji down there talking smack, don't think it can't go both ways!]

[mithrarin]

It's not universal, but I know I'm not the only one who just never quite feels full. Or... less than empty, really.

[koukai_kirai]

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

[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]

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.

[mithrarin]

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

[koukai_kirai]

There are desserts where I'm from, if that's what you mean, I just don't like most of them much.

[mithrarin]

Uh, honestly, I was making a joke about personalities there.
