nahui.

[leadsthestars]

I suddenly desire companionship, but first must insist that I am a strong and independent woman who needs no one.

And now I am sad. I realize the company I keep in my life is not enough. I need more.

And chocolate. I need chocolate.

This place is largely bereft of potential mates, Goddess, given its largely human population.

What is 'chocolate'?

[leadsthestars]

I know. I think this is what causes my grief.

Xcolātl. It is a drink made from a bean, and I suddenly desire it. It may drive away my loneliness.

[general_chang]

I understand.

Hm. Perhaps your guide might provide it.

[leadsthestars]

Do you ever feel alone, General Chang?

I have been offered chocolate. I am surprised it is available, but pleased.

[dominie]

[Oh he remembers the last Aztec he served cocoa, and how it functioned as a marriage proposal...]

That is... an excellent thing to insist before seeking companionship.

[leadsthestars]

I feel compelled to assert my independence. I still wish for a mate; someone to make me whole.

[dominie]

[Oh my] ...We're not... simply speaking of playing chess, are we?

[leadsthestars]

I seek something that lasts longer than a game.

[persephonepearl]

Well, that certainly sounds familiar.

I have some chocolate if your interested.

[leadsthestars]

Does it? Explain this to me.

I would be interested and grateful.

[persephonepearl]

You don't want to be a bimbo, right? The vacant girl who depends on someone for something.

I'm Persephone. I'm on [Cabin number here.] if you want chocolate.

spam? assume?

[leadsthestars]

I am not that woman, yes.

I am Coyolxauhqui. I will join you shortly.

[voice]

[gammapulsed]

...Um. Well, I'm sure you could find chocolate in the cafeteria. I mean. Do you have a favorite kind, or do you just. Cause either way, I could get some for you, if you really want some.

[voice]

[leadsthestars]

Xcolātl? It is not common.

You would find me chocolate?

[voice]

[gammapulsed]

Huh? ...Oh, well. It's gotten pretty easy to find, actually. Mass production and all that. So it wouldn't be too much trouble, if you really want it.

[voice]

[leadsthestars]

It was reserved for nobility. It surprises me to hear it is common.

I need it and will favor whoever delivers it to me.

[a_bit_put_upon]

I- er... what?

[leadsthestars]

Can you not read, Doctor?

[a_bit_put_upon]

Don't be silly- of course I can. I'm a bit confused, however, by the fact that you suddenly sound a bit like your...

Come to think of it, nevermind. You lot will always be confusing, no matter the species.

[leadsthestars]

Do you mean women? I think that the male sex is confusing. I sit here and think about how they perplex me.
