... Latimir people, if you see a basket of sweets at your door, don't eat them.

They'll make you sick.

... Since when has it ever been an intelligent solution to eat free food left in baskets from |strangers|?

[Voice]

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

And I'm sure you would have eaten them anyway.

[note the sarcasm]

[Voice]

[whatthefactor.livejournal.com]

Nah, I would have used them to kill the rats.

[Voice]

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

...

Rat poison.

Huh, that would work.

[Voice]

[whatthefactor.livejournal.com]

Well, duh. Of course it'd work. It already HAS worked.

[Voice]

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

Oh?

[Here, have a video feed of a dead rat near said poisoned sweets.]

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

... Thank you for sharing.

[Voice]

[whatthefactor.livejournal.com]

[Snicker] You're welcome.

[Voice]

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

[Elysia, who had been very upset earlier, saw the cookie basket and instantly forgot what she had been upset about. Cookies were good. She really wanted one.

So, Elysia somehow got one. She's walking into the room, starting to eat a cookie. But eww they're gross so she spits it out again and starts choking.]

That was icky!

/baww. D:

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

[Kai, like, bolts out of bed to help Elysia out by patting her on the back lightly]

You alright?

[kodak-princess.livejournal.com]

[She makes a face. Those were the worst. Snacks. Ever.]

Uh-huh. It just tastes bad. I don't like it at all.

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

I think it's a result of bad cooking, Elysia. Don't eat them anymore, okay?

[his stomach makes a gurgling sound and he races for the bucket to upchuck in]

[kodak-princess.livejournal.com]

'Kay. I don't want to anyway. They're really icky.

[She crinkles her nose. Oh noes, Kai! She pouts, why so sick brother?]

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

[he returns after clearing his throat and is drinking something to keep his fluids up]

Good. I don't want to see you get sick.

[kodak-princess.livejournal.com]

Yea...I don't wanna get sick either. It wouldn't be nice at all.

[She hugs your leg Kai. She doesn't want you to get sick like Zuko did.]

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

Heh, don't worry, it's going to take a lot more than some stomach bug and poisoned food to keep me down.

[pats Elysia on the head after placing the bottle down]

[kodak-princess.livejournal.com]

O-okay...[She's trying really hard not to cry.]

Ummm...Is there something else to eat? I still have an icky taste in my mouth.

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

[klgjkhjglkhj what the hell am I supposed to do with a near crying child. D8 REI THIS IS YOUR TERRITORY--oh, wait, you're not here.

Dammit.]

Let me check.

[rifles through his pants' pocket to find his wallet, takes it out and looks through it. He takes out a stick of gum and hands it to her]

That work?

[kodak-princess.livejournal.com]

[She nods and takes the piece of gum, sticking it into her mouth.]

W-wow! That's good!

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

[pockets his wallet and smiles just a bit]

You're welcome, then.

[kodak-princess.livejournal.com]

[She just grins at him.]

Uh-huh! Thank you for sharing!

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

Don't mention it.

[stifles another cough, but at least this one isn't as strong as the others were. Maybe he's getting better, Elysia?]

[kodak-princess.livejournal.com]

Are you starting to feel better?

[She noticed that, and starts to look hopeful.]

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

I think the medicine that Dr. Yagokoro gave me is working.

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

Too late.

At least I've saved my son from eating them.

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

... so. Have you started to throw up?

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

I luckily spat it out very quickly--it tasted similar to some poisons from my world--but my stomach is still wanting to retch. Uggh.

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

... It's good to know that poisoned or unappetizing food exists in a place like this, huh?

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

As if we didn't have enough things to worry about already....

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

Well, they can be used to kill the rats.

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

Ha! It'd be our luck that the rats wouldn't eat them!

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

Oh?

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, rats have the tendency to be smart at the worst of times.

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

... Tch, that would be the case, wouldn't it?

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

Yes, unfortunately. I think that using this food as rat poison would be unnecessarily cruel.

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

It'd take care of problems.

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

Well, I can't argue with that... I suppose it would just traumatize the kids as they watch the rats go through their death throes.

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

You can make them not watch the rats dying, you know.

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

If you're lucky enough to catch it in time.

Luckily, I don't think there are any rats in my apartment, and both the kids here are teenagers, so I think I'll be fine.

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

Or send them off to play or something like that.

All right, then.
