So was anyone gonna tell me about the motherfucking dinosaur-shaped food here? Seriously!

[ Ellie sits criss-cross in front of the camera on the floor of her room, a plate of said chicken nuggets in her lap. There's a book about dinosaurs next to her, and her gun sitting on top of it.

As a child of the post-apocalypse, this is the greatest thing she's ever stumbled on. The world must know. ]

This is a...[ she holds up a t-rex. ] Tyrannosaurus rex. And this is a triceratops. [ she holds the next one up before biting its head off. ] Amazing.

Anyway, I'm bored as fuck. So say something and I will give you a fact about the most badass prehistoric dina-mos to ever exist or something.

[ Hi Ellie, here's a very curious fire demon from a terrible angle, likely a tablet left on a flat surface as he perches god knows where, head tipped to one side like a curious child.

He has yet to see dino nuggets, or any food shaped in fun ways as of yet other than desserts shaped like little waffle style fish, so color him very curious. ]

There's food shaped like that? Do they taste good?

They're fucking awesome! They're hunks of chicken. Aaaand...


[ dinosaur fact time! ]

Some of the biggest dinosaurs, like the Brachiosaurus and Apatosaurus, were herbivores! They ate plants instead of other creatures.

[jaganshi]

[ Chunks of chicken, huh? Well, that sounds good to a very much not at all picky little fire demon. He has to mentally note the answer to this question specifically so he can pester Kurama to pick them up for him to try - ]

Where did you get them?

[ A pause for the dino fact before Hiei considers his answer. ]

Easy to be large when your food source is more constant and requires less chasing and hunting.

[giraffic]

There's this grocery store a few blocks away from the inn, over on--

[ here's some directions for u hiei, go live your dino nuggy dreams ]

Yeeeeah, not much of a struggle there, if you can dodge the predators yourself.

[coolerjunpei]

Hell yeah, dino nugs. You ever seen the little pill sponge dino things you throw in water? It's not food, but...

[Those also rule. Anyway.]

I'll take a dino-fact.

[giraffic]

Never heard of it. Know where I can find one?

[ it's time for 1-800 Dino Facts! ]

The longest dinosaur was the Argentinosaurus. It was 40 meters long! Or 131 feet.

[coolerjunpei]

Dollar store, probably? Or like, any supermarket with a "toy aisle" that has the weirdest plastic junk known to man.

[And also maybe some plastic dinos, as a bonus.]

That's like... some portion of a football field. [lmao. as if he'd know.] What about the shortest?

[clutterbitch]

are they MADE from dinosaurs??

[giraffic]

nope, just shaped. they're chicken.

[clutterbitch]

hmmmmm.

[ he does not realize that this is functionally the same thing. his disappointment is palpable. ]

i suppose if chicken is a more readily available resource than dinosaur, it makes sense...

i wonder how similar our stars' dinosaurs are. would you tell me a dino fact?

[scientits]

Cool! If you want to add to the realism, you can build a working volcano out of mashed potatoes, a bottle, and some tubing.

[ this is definitely a normal way for kids to eat?? ]

Sure, hit me with a fun fact. I actually don't know much about dinosaurs, I never really studied them.

video;

[giraffic]

Are the mashed potatoes edible after?

Most dinosaurs are born from eggs, and it only takes seven to eight years for a dinosaur to reach adulthood.

[scientits]

Of course, if you don't mind a little food coloring. Or the taste of baking soda. Or changing your shirt afterwards.

Most? Are there dinosaurs that aren't born from eggs?

[uncommonsense]

Oh wow, I didn't think they'd have those here.

[ color her surprised! dino nuggies are universal. ]

Hit me with a good fact!

video;

[giraffic]

They don't exist anymore where I'm from, if they did.

Dinosaurs fall into two categories: Ones with hips like birds, and ones with hips like lizards.

video;

[uncommonsense]

Oh, I've heard about that! Different bone structures, right?

[ look she's never seen a dinosaur but she can look into it and hope??? ]

Even the ones that have lizard hips had feathers too, according to the paleontologists-- so they're all kinda like birds.

[machizumo]

Hey, real quick... Is that a gun?

[ Asking the important questions here. ]

Re: video; un: kuwabara

[giraffic]

Yeah, it's a pistol. Cool, right?

[ she holds it up for him to see, a 9mm with gold moths on it ]

[machizumo]

No. You're, like, a kid! Who even gave you that?!

TXT; un: QUEENOFZAUN

[opheliac]

hey, lay off. guns are pretty cool, long head.

[machizumo]

What?
Who the hell are you and what was that for?? Like are we seriously not worried that random kids got guns??

TXT;

[giraffic]

it's a good one too, why are people so weird about this?

not like i'm walking around just shooting people

[anormalman]

[Clark doesn't fail to notice the gun, or wonder why she has it just lying around like that, but that can be addressed later.]

Oh wow, dinosaur nuggets! I can't remember the last time I had those.

And sure, you can hit me with a dinosaur fact.

video;

[giraffic]

Oh, hey, it's Mr. Normal! Sure, take this: Meat-eating dinosaurs are known as theropods, which means “beast-footed,” because they had sharp, hooked claws on their toes.

[anormalman]

Makes sense.

And I guess "sauropod" means "lizard-footed", doesn't it?
