[Today is a video feed. But Gabriel hasn't got the camera on himself, but more what's in front of him. From his surroundings, he's in a diner. And the plate in front of him is the focus of today. Five deep-fried snickers bars are on the plate.]

You know, I have to ask myself if this truly is a plate of fried death. Seriously, the guy who runs this place made me sign a waiver to say if I had a coronary, heart attack, or any food-related death, he wouldn't be held responsible. They're only allowed to sell three at a time. Like I could resist that kind of a challenge, they may as well have lit it up with a neon sign saying "Loki, trickster, eat here".

Challenge accepted. As if a plate of deep-fried chocolate will kill me. The owner is in the corner keeping an eye on me as if my head will explode. I'll keep that in mind for later. Maybe I'll eat it all and stagger outside into oncoming traffic. That'll put the wind up him.

Well, gotta get to work on this. So you can all keep me entertained, I didn't invite the roomies to come along, couldn't have them stealing all my food. Telling you now, I'm surprised the place I'm staying in is even still standing with that lot. Protip; I say that with slight fondness.

Keep me entertained, heroes, cause the owner here has stopped talking to me. The Hell are you all up to ?

At least you've done it in style. I suppose.

voice for now

[larker]

You have no idea how much I had to twist this guy's arm even for that waiver. I mean if it was some obscenely spicy crap I'd understand.

[slightlyoffchilt]

[There's a long beat.]

You can be rather persuasive.

I'm not sure if that looks disgusting or good. [Ellie's currently leaning more towards disgusting.]

voice

[larker]

It doesn't look good, but in this case the looks are deceiving. Everything is melted inside, I got no idea how people can't eat these.

[youbastard]

I've never tried one. In fact I don't think I've ever even heard of deep frying chocolate.

He's probably worried that he'll be the last person seen talking to you when the police come to investigate.

voice;

[larker]

That is a good point. I'll make sure to talk to him again on my way out, just to be sure.

[mightiswright]

[ he likes this guy's style. ]

If you can still walk out after eating those, I don't think he has anything to worry about.

[selfequipped]

I'm mostly impressed with how they've managed to make them look gourmet.

[larker]

I know. If I tried to "cook" these I know I'd wind up with a plate of ooze. [As if, Gabriel has never needed to cook, but at least the thought stands. It would be a plate of goo.]

[selfequipped]

Exactly. Which makes me wonder why you got deep-fried snicker bars at a fancy joint.

And what that place is called.

[dissemble]

[Lucifer is sitting oppsite him, watching with a vaguely disguisted expression.]

You know they can die from that.

[larker]

[The only reaction to Lucifer appearing is Gabriel pausing his fork en route to his mouth.]

No they can't it's just a myth. Otherwise certain countries wouldn't be so fat.

[dissemble]

They shouldn't be able to survive it.

[Putrid carcasses of flesh and dust. Ew. Also- chew with your mouth closed.]

[attractedtodarkness]

That is so gross.

voice

[larker]

Have you tried it?

video

[attractedtodarkness]

No way. I can't believe you're eating that.

[aggressiveapathy]

They didn't even put bacon on them.

voice;

[larker]

Aw shit. I'll remind them next time.

[Won't. Why would he taint such sweetness with bacon?]

video

[aggressiveapathy]

Yeah. If you're going for food suicide, you have to go all or nothing.

[imitari]

... You know, I was actually expecting to find hero-related talk in this place, but.

This works too. I guess.

[larker]

I guess, though hero talk here isn't exactly hard to find you know.

[notdaredevil]

I've been practicing law for fifteen years and I think this is the first time I've ever heard of signing a waiver for food. That must be some cooking.

[he can't tell, you see.]

voice;

[larker]

I don't think that deep fried snickers bars count as gourmet, but yeah. A waiver. If I drop dead my relatives can't sue.
