[The battle with the Great Black Void was over... and it had brought with it surprising revelations. First... Mizuki's little brother had gotten all grown up, and Zankuro was trying now to desperately console his parents and tell them he still wanted to be treated like a little kid and go to kindergarten. But Mizuki is in the infirmary, bandaged up and with a tiny little mechanical blackbird sitting on her shoulder. With the DuskBird so thoroughly destroyed, all she could do was try to grow a new one. But standing in a little balcony outside and looking at the Sun, she was noticing something, or rather something's absence.]
-It doesn't hurt. The sunlight doesn't...
Quick, someone get me something to eat! Anything... just... just what normal people would have!
[And one bite of a burger later though and Mizuki's already spitting it out.]
That's disgusting! How can anyone eat something like that?!?
[But at the same time, no vomiting. Seems the Abyss's victory over the Void has had an unexpected payoff.]

[And finding it so very amusing was Volya, who once again took another battering. Admittedly he and Interitus managed to bail out thanks to everyone else... but he still had his share of bandages and bumps.]
You kinda get used to it.

I know there are acquired tastes but if this is what normal food's all going to be like... I'll just stick to my usual things.

...Um... are you going to finish that?

And here. Sorry.
[She puts it down at Volya's side.]
Hope you like it more.

... Missed lunch today.
[Still... thinking about it a bit more though.]
Guess this means you won't need your umbrella as much now huh?

It'd feel wrong to just toss it in a closet and only grab it on a rainy day.

What of this, then?
[Sielje quickly shoves a candy bar in Mizuki's hands.]
From:
no subject
[And when she breaks off a piece of the bar and chews it, even more wincing.]
And this is too bitter! This is what candy's supposed to taste like?!?

[Sielje seems heartbroken.]
What were your meals like before?

One of these days I'm going to have to show you what deep angler or jellyfish can taste like.

[Sielje pictures an animal not exactly like it really is...]

But if you cook it and treat it then you get something that just tastes... amazing! Not like this ridiculous excuse for a meal.
From:

[Sielje takes a step back, looking both surprised and suspicious.]
... Are you fine?

All this time I thought I was missing out on Earth cooking but if it's going to be like that...

[A sigh]
Luckily I brought some backup in case this happened.
[And That Other Thing presents a hastily boxed Sushi platter without anything from the deep sea.]
From:
no subject
[Mizuki's eyes lit up though as the platter comes into view, and she already is popping one in her mouth... only for all the relief and appreciation to melt away in her face to betrayal as Mizuki spits that out too.]
This isn't deep sea sushi at all!

[There's a weird expression on Willis' face. A strange mix of amusement and pity. Even he's not sure what face to make in this situation.]
From:
no subject
[And she's just gonna forcefully put it back in Willis's lap.]
After everything I just went through the least I'd like to get is something that doesn't taste horrible.

Dido watches Mizuki hack the burger back up. She raises an eyebrow.
"Mizuki," she say in a doting tone. "Are we gonna have to play the 'here comes the airplane' game with you?"

I've grown perfectly fine eating what I could for the past twelve years.
I don't have to eat anything I don't want to eat!

She sets her hands on her hips. "But seriously, you're gonna have to sample a whole bunch of photosynthetic food and taste it at least once. If you could find something you can tolerate...well, those deep-sea expeditions aren't cheap, you know!"

With things less fatty and salty than a burger.

You can't appreciate anything about it! Is all "normal" food going to be like this?
