From another pocket inside his coat, Duncan brought out a small and faintly luminous ball of something.
"It's curled around a drop of moisture," he explained, not meaning to be cryptic, but being so anyhow. "Here, help me pour some water on it?" He held out the thing in both hands.
The ball unfurled and grew more luminous. Revealed now to be a sort of starfish, it strobed a pleasant and muted blue.
"Excellent." Duncan smiled as the starfish spread its arms across the bare skin of his palms and worked its way around to the back of one hand. Where it had been, the grimy skin shone clean. "Thank you. Who are you?" he asked Kaga. His directness was not that of a rude person, but that of someone who's been long away from polite society.
"Growing out of the ground," Duncan elaborated. "Tall speakers, metallic on the outside, pink spongy flesh on the inside. Does this sound familiar to you, at all?"
"No? Maybe. I thought I heard about something like that a few days ago, but then the demon sun got exorcised." He was probably mistaking something for another, but he's also slowly backing away.

"I see. Well, the house elf should be bringing some."
As if summoned (which it kinda was), a house elf appeared with some water.

Nevertheless, taking care not to get too close, he poured the water on that strange ball.

"Er...Takeshi Kaga. Chairman of the Gourmet Academy."

That was why Duncan was here. The speakers, that was. Not the eating thereof. He would advise strongly against the eating thereof.

Kaga didn't even bother voting, he would rather get as much space between him and the crazy hobo as possible.
