The Philosophy of Food | Wednesday, 3rd Period

Jul 10, 2013 11:18

Hannibal pulled the chair to one side of the desk at the front of the room and sat; the desk itself had a number of dishes on it, each neatly covered or cloth-napkin-draped. He waited until he had the right number of students seated in front of him, then nodded and stood.

( Good afternoon. I am Dr. Lecter; this is The Philosophy of Food. I trust you are all in the correct place. )

"Holy rabies, fried tarantulas!"

Mavis would try not to devour them all. She didn't want to be rude.

Sorry, Mavis. Rilla was just going to sit here and stare at you.

"...ew."

Re: Talk to Hannibal/Try the food! never_dull July 10 2013, 17:23:04 UTC

Hannibal narrowed his eyes at Rilla. "Ms Blythe, what did I say about that?"

Re: Talk to Hannibal/Try the food! rilla_myrilla July 10 2013, 17:39:47 UTC

Rilla blushed crimson. "Sorry, sir," she mumbled to the floor.

But spiders. Ew. She'd better not tell Susan or the hampers of food to protect her from Yankee cooking would get even bigger.

Mavis didn't really care if someone thought her favorite foods were icky; it took all kinds, after all, and there were a few things that came out of Chef Quasimodo's kitchen at home that you couldn't get her to try on a dare. Still, she was curious. About...everything.

"You don't like spiders? Or just not fried ones?"

"If I see a spider indoors, I usually do my best to squash it with a newspaper," Rilla said.

Re: Talk to Hannibal/Try the food! callmemavy July 11 2013, 11:43:27 UTC

Mavis could do that ewwwwww face too. "Well, that's just wasteful. Or rude, if it's the talking kind of spider." No, she had no moral issues with eating one kind and playing endless games of 20 Questions with the other. Welcome to a vampire childhood.

"...you'd eat a talking spider?!"

Re: Talk to Hannibal/Try the food! callmemavy July 11 2013, 16:47:03 UTC

"No, of course not!" What kind of monster did you think she was, Rilla? "But I wouldn't squish one, either."

Re: Talk to Hannibal/Try the food! never_dull July 11 2013, 22:13:44 UTC

Hannibal thought he'd best bring this back a bit on topic. (Control freak? Him?)

"So, Mavis - you won't eat things that speak? Is that a moral or a practical guideline?"

Re: Talk to Hannibal/Try the food! callmemavy July 12 2013, 01:47:26 UTC

"Well..." Mavis had to think about it. "I might eat something that talked if it tried to eat me first? But otherwise... a little of both, I guess? At home, anything that talks is probably either a hotel guest or staff."

Yes, that included the spiders.

Re: Talk to Hannibal/Try the food! never_dull July 12 2013, 03:32:42 UTC

"I can see that it would be quite rude to eat a guest." He tried to avoid that himself, when he could. "So, you prefer not to eat sentient things, but there are conditions under which you would consider it. Like our friend Shane here, the designation of 'food' is relative."

Hannibal really was going to have to look into the whole 'anything' part further. Pity he'd probably be restricted to questioning.
