video UN: vault thief

[opening up, amara is beaming at the camera. she's clearly in an alleyway of the willful machine, if the light and bustle a little ways off from her is any indication. she has a huge bag of popcorn in one hand, the other holding the omni-- her signature tattoos glow across her arms and neck, though right now they're a bright orange instead of the usual blue.]

Yoooo! This market has orange popcorn! You have no idea how long it's been since I've had some! [a truly unfortunate and very strange looking dog briefly pops into frame as it makes a lunge for the popcorn with a long, prehensile tongue. amara doesn't seem too bothered by it, responding by lifting the bag up and chiding it;] Not for you, Skag. This is people food.

[moving on...]

I'm Amara! I am known as the Tiger of Partali, the wisest cowboy to ever walk the land and possible brain surgeon! That last one involves a lot more metaphysical punching than you would expect. Anyway! That giant snake is an equally giant pain in the ass, so I'm gonna tear its head off and give it to the Hunters in lieu of a resumé. Anyone down to join? It'll be a fun evening out!

[hey, she's happy to talk to anyone new in this place. first thing you gotta do is make connections in a strange world.]

Both! Oh, it's so good. Come down here, girl, you can have some!

[prodigalhairess]

Pfft, how can I say no to that???

[Good food and a new friend? It's the perfect combination!]

Man, and here I thought caramel popcorn was wild! I mean... who thought of putting orange on something like corn??? Did they know it was gonna be a good combination, or did they just take a wild chance???

[phaseflex]

Hey, man, sometimes all that's missing from food is a colour. Look at the whole existence of blue cheese!

[which she isn't actually fond of, but whatever. it's not like this place will make her fight a giant blue cheese chicken burger, right?]

You know, looking back on it, I'm glad this was the fruit and not orange cheese or anything...

[prodigalhairess]

... Wait, but isn't blue cheese blue because it's all moldy?

[Look Rapunzel tries to have an open mind about some things, but... ick!! Big time ick!!!]

Don't get me wrong, I'd totally love trying foods dyed fun colors, or combined with other stuff to make it look like a fun color, but that's. That's kind of pushing it...!

[phaseflex]

Do I look like a cheesemonger? I have no idea. [mould isn't the weirdest thing she's known to have been added to food, or allowed to grow on it to enhance the taste. it makes sense, in some ways.] There's none of that in this bag, I promise.

[prodigalhairess]

Good. It would be a shame for good popcorn to be ruined like that!!

[Ugh, moldy orange popcorn.... that's totally gross.]

So if you like to eat food that's all sorts of fun colors - what's the wildest colored food you've ever eaten?

[phaseflex]

Prismatic.

[she tilts her head.]

Some of the rich people foods on other planets get real wild.

[prodigalhairess]

... Prismatic?

[That sounds... fascinating.]

What did it taste like?

[phaseflex]

Chemicals. It wasn't very nice, but you asked for the wildest, not the tastiest!
