[All appears to be quiet. That is until the sudden sound of someone's stomach echoes through the blackberry network. It stops for a moment before the sound of the person who causes it to laugh slightly.]

Ah, I'm sorry about that, I guess I'm a little hungry.

[Little hungry could be an understatement, as once again the stomach starts grumbling again.]

[He chuckles.] You sound more than a little hungry. If you need someone to help you go looking for food, I'm sure I can be of help.

[He pauses and takes a hopefully not audiable sniff or two. Bonus of new vampirism, he can smell things that are two or three blocks away. there's definitely confusing smells in this place, but he focuses on meat smells that he knew as a human. and can't find a damn thing.

Let the pause linger a little longer as he clears his head from that enticing human smell that he smelt.] I hope you don't mind a vegetarian lifestyle for a while, I'm fairly certain there's not a touch of damned meat in this place. I can't be sure, but...

Well I am pretty hungry, but I didn't want to eat because there was only so much in the kitchen.

[His stomach grumbles again as Allen sighs.]

I don't mind what I eat, as long as I do... I don't think I can survive another week of doing this.

Well, meet me in the kitchen, and I'll put a meal together, and I'll bring stuff back to my room for you, in case there's no food next week.

[Yup. He's forgotten that Allen might smell like a tasty snack, after all - He's helping him, and helping people comes first.]

...If I can find the kitchen...

Re: [audio]

[whitefacedclown]

[Well, this was very helpful of someone, it was rare that someone would, but it did happen from time to time.]

Ah, I know where the kitchen is if you need help.

[It's the only place he has memorized off by heart.]

Don't suppose there's any alcohol left either, Pardner?

[whitefacedclown]

[...Do you really think Allen knows the answer to that?]

I don't know, I didn't check.

[in_texas]

Figured I'd ask anyhow.

But from what I saw of the cupboards there isn't much of anything compared to last week.

[It's a good thing Near's been keeping a stash of preserved food and water horded up in his closet, most of them left over from the week with the epidemic thanks to Abel. Near had tried to keep it restocked after his departure, but only daring to leave his room when no one else is around, he has not been able to make nearly as many excursions as he would like. As of now, there are only four bags of stale chips, a handful of canned goods, three bottles of water, and a juice box left. Even though Near does not eat much, that's not exactly enough to last him through the entirety of this coming week. However, he has an idea of what he might be able to do to solve that little problem.

Starting with you, hungry Akuma-fighting boy.]

I will offer you one large bag of chips right now if you can gather some information for me. Namely, I would like to know if there is any place left in the manor that has electricity or running water.

[If this boy is as hungry as he seems, he should be willing to take up any offers in a heartbeat for the sake

[Allen hadn't been eating for a good week, he's been eating, but a lot less than he would normally. It takes it toll and his stomach is that toll. Though at the promise of something tiny he had to wonder.]

Is that all I would have to gather?

[What given the food situation he would think for some form of food it would cost a lot more, but then again he's hungry he doesn't know any different.]

[Audio]

[whitestlie]

Yes, that should suffice. Well, also if you do find water, please fill a few buckets for storage just in case the Author decides to shut those sources off too in the near future. This will benefit both of us.

[He wrinkles the potato chip bag on the other end as proof of his offer. Can you resissssssst?]

Do we have a deal?

[Audio]

[whitefacedclown]

[Why must the food torment him so]

Deal. Besides it doesn't sound like something too hard to do.

[thornstained]

I'm goin' out to the gardens now; I should be able to grab some vegetables in from what's left out there.

[whitefacedclown]

We have vegetables in the garden?

[thornstained]

Yep. There's a vegetable garden t'one side.

[whitefacedclown]

I didn't know this place had one. Guess that shows how much attention I pay outside.

[Nepeta holds up what looks to be a skinned and gutted rat] If you're that hungry, why don't you just get one of these? They're really good!

[Video]

[whitefacedclown]

[How can you eat that? Allen isn't sure if he could or even what to make of it...though if he got even more hungry who knows.]

Do... they taste of anything?

[Video]

[arsenic_catnip]

Um... [She frowns at the rat in confusion] It tastes just like the ones back on Alternia to me!

[Video]

[whitefacedclown]

I wouldn't know what that would taste like.
