I think I could get used to this place. Don't you?

Ah...that works better with the video on.

[ video ]

[A goodly-sized chunk of the front of a chimera is held up: a lion's head, with the start of a goat's neck rising up from its back. Blood drips down onto the mirror, helpfully. Teresa's voice comes from off-screen.]Hmmm

[Her dark eyes are very large as she approaches the mirror, pressing her hand to the glass. Her curiosity is undoubtedly morbid, but no less apparent.]

What is that?

[thewisechoice]

[Teresa's face finally comes into view. She's smiling serenely.]

It's probably a monster.

[c_zacatechichi]

[She has seen monsters and horrific nightmares, she knows that much, though she wonders if they looked like this.]

...Was it lovely while it walked? It is an incredible creature...

[thewisechoice]

I didn't really think about whether it was lovely.

[She purses her lips, as if this is a genuinely new thought to her.]

Do you think about that a lot?

[voice]

[border_phantasm]

"Used to this place"? In a manner of speaking, maybe.

I suppose I wouldn't mind trying some, if you're offering.

[voice]

[thewisechoice]

I can choose which monsters I fight. I'd say that's an improvement.

How would you like it cooked?

[voice]

[border_phantasm]

In that case, perhaps.

Medium-rare.

[voice]

[thewisechoice]

Let's see...I haven't cooked something this big before. I don't need to eat much. I wonder how long it takes?

[hotshot_momma]

...I like the way you think.

What is that thing?

[thewisechoice]

It's something that attacked me while I was walking through the caves. Now it's dinner.

[hotshot_momma]

I see. Are there others like it? Other kinds of monster?

[brustriese]

...red meat would be nice, but I think I'd like to kill my own. Make sure it's not venomous, that sort of thing.

[thewisechoice]

You have a point. I don't think the venom would affect me, though.

[brustriese]

I've lived through my teammates' cooking, so I know I'd survive. It just might not be very pleasant.

[mellifluently]

You killed that?

[thewisechoice]

Yes.

[mellifluently]

Why? Did it attack you?
