Sometimes the condiments don't fit the meal, it's true. I wouldn't add it to spaghetti... might've helped my stew, but I got peanut butter for my crackers.

[ He doesn't have much of a stomach for heat anyway, though, after a lifetime of pretty bland food. The selection of MREs and Hadriel canned items is fine by him, but he tilts his head at Peter. ]

What kind of food are you used to, back home?

wow i sure did beef that html

[itsnotaonesie]

[GOD peanut butter sounds so goddamn good right now]

Uuhhh. Like, all food? I'm from New York, man, we have like everything. My aunt really liked Thai food, we got that sometimes. I went to a good deli after school at least once a week.

it happens to the best of us!

[hardwearing]

Oh, I've had Thai once -- it was here, though, Hope threw a banquet of everybody's favorite foods and that was one of Kyna's.

[ It was juuuuust about as spicy as he could handle, the vindaloo she made him try next totally did him in. ]

[itsnotaonesie]

...So how much juice do you think we gotta give that guy to get him to do that again? Because I would do unspeakable things for a good cheeseburger right now. Legal things, but still unspeakable.

[hardwearing]

Probably a ridiculous amount, we'd just gotten through with expeditions out across a planet to old temples, gathering remnants of Hope's energy. It took months.

[itsnotaonesie]

Uuuuuugh, fine. We'll just have to figure out how to make burgers out of the mammoths.

[PETER stop talking about actually good food while you're eating out of a bag you're just making yourself sad for burgers]

[hardwearing]

They make decent steak when they're fresh, actually.

[ The things you learn when you kill a bunch of stampeding beasts and do a questionable job of butchering them yourself... well, it worked out in the end! ]

You have your heart set on a burger?

[itsnotaonesie]

[AUGH GOD HE WANTS STEAK TOO EVERYTHING SOUNDS GOOD RIGHT NOW]

Right now, yeah. I totally do. I got myself all talked up on burgers, why would I do this to myself?

[hardwearing]

I think everyone's a little bit of a masochist like that. It's like playing anywhere but here, but with food.

[itsnotaonesie]

We're our own worst enemies out here, man. Every time I think of how I'll probably never have real New York style pizza again, I think my soul dies a little.

[hardwearing]

Don't think like that, Peter. You're gonna get home eventually.

[itsnotaonesie]

I see what you're trying to do, and I appreciate it? But I'm just being realistic. Going home might not be in the cards for some people.

[hardwearing]

[ Oh no. Not you, too, kid. Wash looks horrified for a moment, both at himself and the implication that Peter could be dead, then quickly: ]

...then we'll send you somewhere else. Go home with Kyna, she's from New York.

[itsnotaonesie]

[Peter isn't going to confirm or deny that right now, but that look on Wash's face doesn't go unnoticed. Sorry bro.]

Yeah, I'll figure all that out when I get to it.

[hardwearing]

Okay...

[ He feels like he should apologize for getting them started down this line of conversation, but. ]

Sorry, Peter. I'll get you a burger when we get back.

[itsnotaonesie]

[NAH don't be sorry, Peter's gotta work this kinda thing out for himself sooner or later.

But first,]

Wait. Where're you gettin' burgers from?

[That's what's important rly.]

[hardwearing]

Like I said, it might be made of mammoth but hopefully it'll taste okay.

[itsnotaonesie]

I was about to say, if someone's hoarding space cows I'm gonna be annoyed. I'm sure we can figure out how to dress mammoth up to make it good.
