So.

[mindoirsurvivor]

Who's up for a barbecue?

Comments

[geminated_man]

That all depends on what you're makin', mate.

[mindoirsurvivor]

Look around. The menu's pretty obvious at the moment.

[geminated_man]

Wh- you're gonna kill and cook up the little bunnies? Those cute, fuzzy little fuckers with the fluffy little tails and twitchy little noses?

[mindoirsurvivor]

I was going for the big bunnies, actually. More meat on them.

[geminated_man]

Shame, that. Those fuzzy little shits are cute.

Does it taste good? I mean, Can you even barbecue a rabbit?

[mindoirsurvivor]

They're okay. And I'm a colony kid, we learned never to get too attached to livestock.

[oftpartitioned]

MEAN

[mindoirsurvivor]

Why is it mean? It's open-invitation.

[johannamason]

Oh, you beat me to it.

[mindoirsurvivor]

You want to help me lure one of the really big ones off the main streets? City ordinances discourage hunting in the financial district.

[johannamason]

Thought you'd be all about breaking some laws now.

[mindoirsurvivor]

If I had a good reason, sure. Rabbit's not good enough eating for that kind of risk.

[johannamason]

Spoken like a man who's never gone hungry.

[mindoirsurvivor]

There's not exactly a famine on at the moment. If there was, maybe I'd re-evaluate. You coming or not?

[hot4engines]

I ain't eating any bunnies. They never done nothing to us. ... well, except invade, but that ain't their fault!

[mindoirsurvivor]

Shrimp cocktails never did anything to offend me, either, and I still eat those.

[librariansheart]

Do you think he'll take "but they're cute and fluffy and not hurting anyone" as a good reason?

[razorback]

Oh. Are we allowed to eat the rabbits?

[mindoirsurvivor]

If they arrest me, the answer's no; but I think we're pretty safe.

[razorback]

Count me in.

[mindoirsurvivor]

Great.

I'll do my best to make sure there's enough for everyone, but if you bring in extra, you'll get a bigger serving.

[razorback]

I'll bring a couple of extras, there are a bunch here.

[librariansheart]

Oh, that's awfully nice of you to invite everyone! What would you like people to bring? I mean, it would be nice to be able to compliment the meat--

2/3

[librariansheart]

[librariansheart]

Chief Shepard, sir! Surely you don't mean the bunny rabbits, do you?

[mindoirsurvivor]

Why not?

[librariansheart]

B-but Sir! They're... Well, aren't we supposed to be taking care of them? I mean, they're like our charges while the higher-ups try to scramble some housing and things for them, right?

[mindoirsurvivor]

There's more than enough hopping around to do both.

[librariansheart]

But... it sounds like they've already suffered some casualties. And there's perfectly good meat at Juanes!

[mindoirsurvivor]

Fresh, free range meat always tastes better.

[leadthebeats]

You're seriously going to make rabbit barbeque?

[ Sorry, but she's already ruining all the fun. ]

[mindoirsurvivor]

I'd rather use beef, but the island isn't covered in cows at the moment.

[leadthebeats]

That may be true, but that doesn't mean you have to eat the rabbits. Not that I care either way.

[justmyopinion]

... yeah. Commander, I'm thinking you need to spend some time away from the boat. Maybe get some fresh air.

[mindoirsurvivor]

What's the matter, Joker?

[justmyopinion]

Uh, when exactly did we cross into Eating Cute Woodland Creatures territory? I mean, the food here's not that bad.

[mindoirsurvivor]

I grew up on Mindoir, remember? Frontier colonies aren't much for large livestock. Hell, I still can't look at a guinea pig without remembering half a dozen jokes about "meals on wheels."

[halfdevil]

your treat and im in

[mindoirsurvivor]

Bring something to drink.

[halfdevil]

you got it.

[pelagically]

It's the only thing rabbits are good for. I'll be there.

[mindoirsurvivor]

Glad to hear it.

Reminds me. I'm going to be starting up some salvage and exploration business based on the Neptune. I'm looking to have a few Marines on call in case we stumble across anything nasty. Interested?

[pelagically]

Oh, it's not like I'm doing anything else with my time here.

[pelagically]

What I mean is I'd be happy to help. Exploration, really?

[mindoirsurvivor]

There's a lot of this island that nobody's ever looked at. Well. Maybe Katniss has.

Think she'd be interested?

[pelagically]

Exploration sounds just a few steps away from escape, that's all.

I don't think she likes boats much, but I can drag her along anyway. You'd be surprised how far she'll go if I say she can hunt there.
