12. A Rolling Stone Gathers No Mozz [Video]

[continuousgroaning]

[Tina's happily humming to herself as she turns the feed on. A notebook is lying on Maurtia Falls #003's kitchen table, and she zooms in on several labeled drawings of burgers as she slowly flips through the pages:]

Magnus Burnsides - mango salsa with "sideburns" of hot peppers
Wizard Of Mozz - Italian sausage patty, topped with pizza sauce and mozzarella
Merle Highchurch - Pan fried, topped with a few different kinds of greens
Detective Angus - made of Angus beef with a mystery cheese inside
Max - a long bun with two mini patties and fried pickle wheels, to look like a skateboard
Sharpedo - sharp cheddar cheese with "fins" made of nacho cheese Doritos
Pikachu - put pepperoni slices for cheeks, olives for eyes, and mustard for the face on the patty
Exeggutor - honey and egg bun with two fried eggs

[Tina then shuts the notebook and turns the camera on herself, looking quite proud.]

This has been my latest project- coming up with burgers themed after imPorts I know. I want to sell them, maybe at swear-ins, or something like that.

If you could make your own burger, what would you put on it?

[reexamined]

Eating repulses me.

[Because he has to be human to do it, on top of just... everything about eating seems gross.]

But I like your ideas. They are very unique.

[continuousgroaning]

Oh... because you're a droid, right? And you don't need to.

[She smiles at the compliment.]

Thank you. I don't always have a new idea every day like Dad does, but every once in a while I'll get inspired.

[reexamined]

Yes. What is average for humans can be repulsive to droids. In the same manner, what is required upkeep for droids, if translated to human equivalence, might seem horrific.

You're welcome.

I think if I had a food created after me, it would involve charcoal. I have heard humans eat that sometimes.

[Yes. They do.

When they're poisoned.]

[continuousgroaning]

Like... maintenance? Yeah, we don't need the same kind of maintenance you do. Or programming or... that kind of thing.

[Tina considers that, then does a quick internet search.]

Huh. I never knew that, but it's supposed to help with digestion. Also, someone made croissants out of charcoal and that sounds kinda gross...

[reexamined]

Your body does most of your maintenance for you.

The point of a food created after me would be that it sounds gross and unappealing.

[continuousgroaning]

Human bodies are pretty efficient that way.

Oh, I get it now. If I had a charcoal bun, I could even make it look like your head. ... kind of.

[reexamined]

I would like to see any attempts you make.

[continuousgroaning]

I'll add it to my list. It's getting to be a pretty long one; people seem to really like this idea.

[reexamined]

You may be onto something that could be more than just a project, if you were interested in it.

[continuousgroaning]

I've thought about it before- I do some cooking for people on the side, and I've talked to some other people about maybe doing a food truck. Problem is I'm too young to own my own business... I couldn't even drive the truck if I had one.

[reexamined]

Yes, that would be an issue. And while your mother is here, she is busy running her "non-profit," isn't she?

[continuousgroaning]

Mmhmm- I feel like if she wanted to go back to running a restaurant, she would have... she really likes what she's doing right now. But maybe if we're still here years down the road, we can talk about it.
