Down the Hatch

[terreifying]

Characters: [AU1] Rei and you!
Setting: cafeteria, July 4
Format: anything goes
Summary: Rei hosts a hotdog eating competition
Warnings: none yet except for descriptions of Rei's eating.

[Today, starting from lunchtime, diners might notice something odd about the cafeteria. Rei had pushed several tables together and covered them with piles of hot dogs. Chairs surrounded the tables and a crayon sign, standing out from all the hot dogs, was in the center of the tables.]



[And Rei herself was sitting in one of the chairs. She was already gulping down hot dogs at the rate of one per mouthful. Her mouth was seemingly distended to show a gaping maw and white teeth too many in number to belong in a human mouth.]

[Indeed, if anyone takes up the challenge, it might be a formidable one...]

Comments

[terreifying]

You like Ruana? Do you want me to help set you guys up?

[Maybe love would be able to redeem Ruana and make her nicer...]

Ooh, that sounds nice. Where they your personal cooks or something?

[hemoeroticism]

Aha~! ✩ [ Hagire claps his hands, laughing. ] As beautifully irrational as she is, my heart belongs to my beloved Wretched Egg. But in another world, she'd have made for the perfect co-worker. Her and Jason. ✩

But no. To be perfectly honest, I'm a bit more picky of an eater.

[terreifying]

[She nods.]

What work did you do, then? And what sort of foods do you like to eat? Is it hard to get it in the Tower?

[hemoeroticism]

Mm... a lot of work. Most recently, I was a Deadman who participated in the Carnival Corpse. ✩ [ Technically true. He did participate in one Carnival Corpse match while impersonating Toto Sakigami, though he wasn't supposed to be a participant while fighting against the Forgeries. He just... showed up. Hagire couldn't resist the urge to not only take Toto's body out for a proper test drive (that totally one-sided fight against Daida Hibana did not count), but to humiliate Tamaki in the process. ]

Other Branches of Sin. Hummingbird was here for a while, and... well... let's just say Wretched Egg's is a delicacy she doesn't share nearly as often as I'd like. [ Plus, he's not suicidal enough to try using hers. Without her healing factor, he's tear his fragile body apart trying to use it, assuming it even works at all. ]

[terreifying]

Hm...so you drink blood? Or can you only drink special blood? What about the monsters? Can you drink their blood?

[hemoeroticism]

Like I said, I'm a very picky eater. I'm a bit of a... connoisseur when it comes to blood.

[terreifying]

[She nods.]

So Deadman blood tastes better than everybody else's blood? What makes it so delicious?

[hemoeroticism]

A Branch of Sin, of course. If I drink the blood of another Deadman, I get to steal their powers for myself. ✩

[terreifying]

[She nods.]

So how many powers do you have now?

[hemoeroticism]

Aside from the Wretched Egg's, and Woodpecker's unique one?

All of them. ✩

[terreifying]

Wow, that's pretty cool.

[She grabs another hot dog to much on.]

I sorta wanna see what you can do with those abilities, now.

[hemoeroticism]

Didn't you see it already?

[terreifying]

Yeah, I saw you kill all the zombies. Were those the powers you took from all of the other Deadmen?

[The whips and fire and such.]

[hemoeroticism]

Yep! ✩

[ He's clearly proud of himself, Rei. Can't you tell? ]

[terreifying]

[She can tell.]

Too bad none of these Deadman powers is an eating power.

[And there goes another hot dog.]

[hemoeroticism]

No, I guess they're not... hmm, come to think of it, what is Masu's Branch of Sin?

[ That extreme omnivore. He brings a hand to his chin. Damn it, this is gonna annoy him all day. ]

Do I even have that one? ✩

[terreifying]

Maybe if he ever gets here, you can ask him.

[hemoeroticism]

I think that's one of the few Deadman I hope never shows up here.

[terreifying]

Why? Is he a bad person?

[hemoeroticism]

If by 'bad' you mean 'annoying.' ✩

[terreifying]

Oh, okay.

[She takes a moment to try to visualize something "annoying."]

Like 7-Zark-7 from that old show?

[hemoeroticism]

Never heard of it.

[terreifying]

Oh, he's from an old cartoon. One with a flaming airplane. He was this little robot, and the cartoon always cut away from the best scenes to show him. And his voice is kinda weird too.

[hemoeroticism]

... Nope, never heard of it. ✩

[terreifying]

Oh. I wonder if they have videos...they did have them for Aceman.
