Dude, it's free candy. Just eat it. Don't be such a downer.

...Wait a sec, you said things changed in the past hundred years. Just how old are you?

[idkeatinmybff]

I stopped keeping track twelve hundred years ago. Birthdays are only a celebration of how much closer one is to death.

[brbpouncingyou]

...Holy fuck, you belong in a museum. You're not just old, you're really old.

[idkeatinmybff]

Yes, I am. But I don't look old.

It is true that food given out by others can become rather suspicious, depending on the circumstances...

[God knows that in Ivalice, people are backstabbing bastards enough to poison people. Teta hasn't seen it outright, but...]

[idkeatinmybff]

People tell their children not to accept candy from strangers, then reinforce it with holidays like this. It is ridiculous! They could be poisoned, spoiled, filled with razors, cursed, charmed, or any other number of things.

[eye_do]

Lots of things have changed since you were around, you know.

[idkeatinmybff]

Besides this holiday and Shinigami's annoying speech patterns?

[eye_do]

Yes, of course. Did you honestly expect things to remain the same forever?

[idkeatinmybff]

They remained the same for a thousand years. Why would I expect so much after one hundred?

[badend_replay]

mii~ii! Asura is afraid of food he doesn't know the origins of? Is Mr.God afraid of getting sick? Poor Mr.God nano desu.

[idkeatinmybff]

It could be poisoned or expired or infected or have any other number of problems. It would be stupid to eat it.

[badend_replay]

You're worried about food poisoning? That doesn't sound very God-like.

[idkeatinmybff]

It's the principle of the matter! Even children know better than to eat food from strangers!

At least, they should know better.

[hide_break_play]

Why, it was barely a century ago that Youkai would freely eat any humans who strayed into the darkness.

[idkeatinmybff]

From what I understand, that behavior is not completely gone.

[hide_break_play]

I never got a chance to learn how to be modern.

[idkeatinmybff]

Modernism is overrated. Tradition should be honored.
