Mmm… crunchy.
Transcript
1: Julia and Lily are once more traveling along this ruined road, moving between a build up district full of rubble.
Julia (narrating): I keep watching the footage of the scientists using the portal… if I can just match whatever symbols were used to get the portal to point to Earth, I think that’s enough… Lily can help with the translations.
I haven’t even been here that long but I’m really, really feeling worn out already.
2: Julia perks up, looking to Lily.
Julia: Hey Lily, know what I would kill for right now?
Lily: <Inquisitive tone>
Julia: I’ve got the biggest seafood craving.
3: The ravenous looking Julia, almost drooling, mimics the eating process with her hands.
Julia: I barely ever eat it, but maybe some of that soft shelled crab stuff… deep fried, crunchy, just eating an entire fucking crab like an animal…
4: The pair continue to walk along, touching her stomach.
Julia: Of course, I’d eat dirt right now if I knew it wouldn’t kill me. All these weird, crunchy looking plants and I bet they’d just poison me.
…ugh… Lily, let’s–
5: Julia is wide-eyed, stopping in her tracks, ears perked, as something is heard shuffling and clicking behind her.
I have no love for seafood -except tuna straight from the can- and lettuce without dressing,yes,I can eat, but it’s boring. Hold the mayo as Zippy would say.
Hope she gets home… you had casualties among your Black Dog crew already…
Personally, I dearly love it, but then I’m also from Louisiana. Some salmon steaks, little bit of real butter, some garlic, basil, onion power, white pepper, salt, and lemon juice. Cook on one side until it changes from translucent to opaque up to the middle, flip and repeat for the other side, immediately serve after it is opaque all the way through.
Mmmm… I need to go to the grocery store…
Ho oh extremely unusual food cravings not a good sign…..
Surprised Lily didn’t make her “no” sound here.
