[ITP: Cravings]

[cheerleading]

[It's very late at night, or very early in the morning, and there's a blonde girl sitting on a bench in the mess hall in pyjamas and a dressing gown, spooning icecream into a bowl.]

You know what this needs? Pickles. And peanut butter.

[She licks the spoon thoughtfully.]

And maple syrup.

((mingle! eta: sleeping! will pick up old & new tomorrow.

[halfhard]

Pickles and ice cream?
Well, at least it's not straight vinegar.

[halfhard]

...problem?

[cheerleading]

No! No problem! I'm fine.

[halfhard]

Aa? You seemed hesitant.

[bornsnarky]

I gotta say, pickles and icecream isn't the best mixture for one's digestive system.

[halfhard]

Ah, Doctor McCoy.
[hmm] Doesn't sound too good. What about vinegar?

[bornsnarky]

...has its benefits, if you're careful?

I guess it depends on how much excitement you like in your digestive system. If you have enough in your regular life, bland food's probably better.

[halfhard]

[SIGHS]
I'll remember that.

[bornsnarky]

[grins] I take it you get more than enough excitement in your normal life, Mr Hidari?

[calling him that with no malice, just 'cos his reaction was cute last time]

[halfhard]

You could say that, but I'm not the one drinking vinegar.
[--ah]
And really, Shoutarou is fine.

[bornsnarky]

[grins]

...you know people who drink vinegar? I kinda figured you were talking about having a lot of it on a salad. Or with icecream.

[halfhard]

[laughs a bit]
My partner. He had a bit of a problem with it. Thankfully, not with icecream.

[bornsnarky]

Ah. Now that's an interesting one. I've seen all kinds of problems -- been subject to a few myself -- but never vinegar before.

He around here? Would I've met him?

[halfhard]

I'm not entirely sure why it started, but he's mostly over it by now.

[trying not to look put out]
He's not here, no. Neither is... anyone I know from my home.

[bornsnarky]

That's something.

...ah. That sounds a touch lonely.

[halfhard]

That wasn't really too bad, in the run of things.

[...cough] A hardboiled detective such as myself does not get lonely. I take it that means you have others from your ...world here, Doctor McCoy?
