[Accidental Video]

[gotthescent]

[The camera comes on crookedly as it hits the ground, showing a frantically struggling and squeaking mouse being held up to Apollo's face in both fists. He grins.]

Gotcha.

[The mouse's squeaking and struggling abruptly ends when Apollo bites its head off. There's the faint sound of crunching bones as he stuffs the rest of it into his mouth with both hands, finally slurping up the tail like a noodle before licking his lips contentedly. He starts to bound off on all fours, then stops, pats a pocket, and returns for his D-Comm. The feed ends.]

Did you just eat that mouse while it was still alive? You did just eat that mouse while it was still alive!

...that's disgusting.

[gotthescent]

It tastes the best that way!

[fasternlightbot]

I thought humans were supposed to cook their food before they ate it.

Dude! That is sick and wrong!

[Video comes on to show... Apollo picking his nose.]

Shut up. It tastes good.

[giveadragonsomelove]

Uh...not it doesn't. It was a living rat. Those can't be good.

[little_sister_keeper]

Apollo? Did you just...? Why?

[Audio]

[gotthescent]

I always eat small animals like that. They're better fresh. You want me to catch you one to try?

[You should feel honored, Tenenbaum. He wouldn't offer to get food for just anyone.]

Re: [Audio]

[little_sister_keeper]

[Knowing him, she can understand how rare this is. And living in Rapture during the war she had sometimes seen the little ones resort to such things when she couldn't provide enough good. Tenenbaum herself though...]

Though I do appreciate the offer, Apollo, I am not hungry right now. If you are though, come back und I can cook you something.

Oh.. that can't be healthy...

[Video]

[gotthescent]

Of course it's healthy. It's full of nutrients.

[ivyandthorns]

Uuugh... that's--... I can't even... aauuugh...

Hm, I did not realize that the human jaw was strong enough to do such a thing.

[Audio]

[gotthescent]

Their bones break really easy. Not like something like a deer or a cat.

Re: [Audio]

[force_a_change]

I've never killed a mouse before, so I wouldn't know, sir.

[Here, have the reaction of a teenage girl]

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

[gotthescent]

Damn you're loud.

[devatamer]

And you're gross.

[externalmonologue]

...

Oh, that takes me back.

You need grass, moss, and water, though. Mouse and rat is better when part of a soup.

[gotthescent]

Who eats grass and moss? Meat tastes better raw anyway. The brain isn't sweet once you cook it either.

[externalmonologue]

The grass adds earthy flavor and fiber if you manage to rip it out from the roots. The moss adds texture and body. Together, it is a passable, if small, stew.

Russian secret. We do not eat for flavor, we eat for nutrition.

Besides, properly prepared, you don't have to worry about the bones. No nutrition there. Nasty choking hazard as well.

...You must be one of the humans Nepeta made.

What're you talking about? Nobody made me.

[ There is a thoroughly squicked out Princess on the other end of the feed. And a ... slightly better looking Coronamon, too. ]

... Amelia?

T-There are no words for what I just saw ....

[gotthescent]

It's called "eating".
