For the third option, a list of passengers appears and names can be searched for by letter. Anyone who has been working to try and make communications happen on their own devices will find those linked in to this network- though it is still only possible to use voice. If they have headphones from the music room they can make it so they work like earpieces.

Sounds like that makes you the perfect volunteer.

[controlsthedie]

If that is what it sounds like, then your SCA isn't translating correctly.

[fivemilesdeep]

You said you don't usually eat, which means you don't have a bias. It's perfect.

[He doesn't expect Thanatos to agree. That's not enough to stop him from giving Thanatos grief over it.]

[controlsthedie]

Your reasoning is faulty.

[ After all, Thanatos doesn't find anything wrong with toast sandwiches despite almost everyone else having a problem with them. ]

[fivemilesdeep]

Oh, I don't think so. I think it's pretty hard to argue against "unbiased people make unbiased judgments."

[controlsthedie]

Blood and darkness, you're sounding like Hypnos, and that is not a compliment.

[ And Thanatos stops trying to make his point. ]

[fivemilesdeep]

Well, if you don't want to have these discussions, maybe you shouldn't volunteer other people.

[And thus we arrive at The Point.]

[controlsthedie]

Maybe you could just ask if the dish has any spice and solve the problem directly instead of fearing what others think for just asking. Mortals have allergies to food. I know. I collect them.

[fivemilesdeep]

I'm not afraid of what other people are going to think. People who eat a lot of spicy food get used to it being spicy, and they tend to think things aren't spicy when they actually are. If I ask someone who makes spicy food if something is spicy, I'm probably not going to get an accurate answer.

[It's all very matter of fact, and he has absolutely done this before.]

[controlsthedie]

Which is why you ask if they added any spice and not if it is spicy. The issue is solved by knowing the ingredients and not someone's perception of them. Even those used to spicy food should know what in a dish gives its spice. And if they do not, then don't eat it.

[ Thanatos tone is getting quite frustrated because he's trying to communicate here, and Ryo is infuriatingly not getting it. ]

[fivemilesdeep]

[Things Ryo should've thought of before asking his question at all: that. Exactly that.]

...huh. That's a good point. Thank you.

[The only reason he doesn't immediately follow up with 'why didn't you lead with that?' is that he can hear the frustration in Thanatos's tone, and he's not here to make that worse.]

[controlsthedie]

[ Because Ryo's initial query involved not asking. Which Thanatos later disregarded because Ryo was being difficult. (In his mind, he was.) ]

I am going to leave now.

[ At least he manages to say the requested goodbye before going off to be frustrated about not being understood even when he's trying. ]
