"Uh... Here, sit in this chair."
[b]I pull a chair over from the side of the room. I take a holotape player from my pocket and hand it to her. It has Red Menace loaded.[/b]
"Play on this until dinner is ready, okay?"

*She nods weakly, somehow managing to lose before she even makes the tiny Vault Boy take a step.* *Elvis "Aww..." *She aces the second attempt, moving to the next level.*
-
[b]It took around ten more minutes for me to cook dinner. I played it, and drug a table over to where Elvis was. I sat her plate down, and mine. I pulled a chair up. The dinner was Brahmin steak with sautéed mutfruit and mashed tatoes.[/b]
-
*She looks at the food, a little put off by the dulled, dirty looking colors.*
-
[b]I take a bite out of mine. I didn't think the colors were too dull. The tatoes were red, the steak was brown, the mutfruit was purple.[/b]
-
*She hesitantly takes a bite of mutfruit, suddenly putting a napkin up to her mouth as she coughs, spitting it out.*
-
"What's wrong?" [b]I thought it tasted pretty good. Almost like a sweeter version of carrots.[/b]
-
*Elvis "Do you, urp, have any less mutated f-foods?"
-
"Uhh... Mutfruits aren't actually mutated, but okay. Try the tatoes. They're literally just a cross between a tomato and potato."
-
*Elvis "Well, whatever they are, I think they make me sick.* *She says, starting to try the mashed tatos.*
-
[b]I wait to see her reaction to them. They should be okay. Even for someone who'd never eaten them in their life, it shouldn't bother her.[/b]
-
*She takes a bite and they actually taste somewhat bad.* *Elvis "Okay, these aren't terrible."
-
"Seriously, what is up with you and this kind of food? Try the steak. It's literally just a cow. Can't go wrong with a classic steak."
-
*She eats a piece of steak, trying to hide her disgust.*
-
[b]Well she failed. It was pretty obvious. What was up with this girl? This literally tasted like anything else in the Dojo.[/b] "You know you don't gotta eat it if ya don't wanna."
-
*She sets her fork down.* *Elvis "Alright... It just tastes a little off to me."
-
"What else would ya want to eat? I've got plenty of stuff."
-
*Elvis "Like what?" *She looks at him curiously.*
-
"Name something and I'll tell you if I have it."
-
*Elvis "Steak? Normal steak?"
-
"That's what's on your plate."
-
*Elvis "No... This is Brahmin meat."
-
"Brahmins are cows, Elvis."
-
*Elvis "Two headed mutated bald cows with horns sticking off their heads in random directions.*
-
"Do you know what a Brahmiluff is?"
-
*Elvis "It's like a fur covered, Brahmin bull. But this is Brahmin."
