[Well, this is the first time Giovanni's ever addressed the network as a whole, and apparently he's using it to say--]

I suppose I should have done this sooner really, rather than pointlessly holding on to these things. But if anyone should require them, I have a few blankets to spare, along with some dried meat. It's not as though I especially need it for myself, so first come first served.

[There's a brief pause, and then--]

I suppose I should add, I've no idea what kind of animal this meat is from. Could be human for all I know. Hahah.

[And on that cheery note, the transmission abruptly ends.]

[heavyhitter]

What, did you just find it lying around? Kinda a weird way to pick up meat.

[ofobedience]

Stuffed behind some bricks in the wall, along with the blankets. A former resident's secret stash, I suppose. One has to wonder why they didn't come back for it.

[The briefest pause, and then--]

Death by mystery meat, perhaps.

[heavyhitter]

Okay, don't tell me you're gonna fucking eat that. I've been desperate, but I'm pretty sure I've never been that desperate.

[ofobedience]

I wasn't planning on it, no. Hence my generous offer to the rest of you. Unlike many here, I don't particularly need to eat in order to survive. I thought someone else might just be desperate enough to give it a go.

[He's helping!]

[fourscores]

Mystery meat? Well that sounds exciting. Not sure eating meat you found laying around is the best idea though.

[ofobedience]

Mystery meat, indeed. And probably not the best idea no, but sometimes beggars can't be choosers.

[His tone is surprisingly jaunty, all things considered.]

I'd offer to test it first, make sure it isn't poisoned. But alas, my immunities make that a somewhat pointless endeavour.

[fourscores]

Yes, I suppose stuck in here, we don't have many options.

Lucky you. How'd you manage that?

[ofobedience]

My immunity to poison? I was designed this way.

And not many options, no. Hence my offer, dubious as the prospect of eating unidentified meat might be. It doesn't smell dangerous, if that helps.

[fourscores]

Designed?

[He chuckles.]

I'm not sure that's the most reassuring, but it is something.

GIO!! Thank you for helping out, even though I am one hundred percent certain you could have said this same announcement, without implying cannibalism!!

[ofobedience]

It was just a little joke.

[boneafide]

Oh, okay, nyeh heh heh!! Of course it was! I was... also joking!! By pretending to think you were serious!! Very clever of me.

Are you really doing okay?

[ofobedience]

A bona fide genius.

[And it's not like Papyrus is entirely wrong. He could have done it without the cannibal references. But being nice is hard.]

And I'm all right, aside from finding this whole affair somewhat tedious. I'm a little fed up with skulking around this maze.

[Give him a moment...there's something he should do here, isn't there...ah, yes--]

How about you?

[grunehexe]

There are ways to determine if it is or not. If that is an actual concern of yours.

[ofobedience]

More of a concern for anyone who decides to eat it, I'd say. Although I'll admit it doesn't smell human. It was just a little joke.

[Yes. Cannibalism. Always funny, Giovanni.]

I'm curious though-- how could you determine it?

[grunehexe]

[Ugh. She'd thought he was just being a fool and look, she was right.]

The denseness of the muscle fibers, the coloring of the meat- there are various factors.

If it were alien though, I could not tell you specifics, of course.

[ofobedience]

[He can't help himself. I mean, he's trying? But being 'nice' is hard ;;]

I see. And I suppose there's quite a high probability of that, considering where we are. But if you want to try and determine its origins, then be my guest. It might put someone's mind at ease.

[You know. After he exacerbated the suspicion >.>]

I'll take a blanket. Pass on the meat. Knowing this place, it probably came from a lizard.

[ofobedience]

Suit yourself. It doesn't smell reptilian, but then, I can't tell you what it does smell like, either.

I can bring you the blanket, if you like.

[armigers]

I'll take my chances with something I know for sure didn't come from a lizard.

Wait, really? Just like that? No catch?

[ofobedience]

No catch. I'm attempting to assist you here, why would there be a catch?

[catphishing]

...that isn't funny.

[Like their situation isn't bad enough without that (hopefully unlikely) possibility.]

[ofobedience]

I beg to differ. But so many of you seem to be lacking a sense of humour.

[catphishing]

If I'm not the only one telling you that then maybe you're not as funny as you think.

[ofobedience]

Or you're all a stiff bunch who don't know how to have fun. But I knew that already.

[He's more or less used to it by now, what a bad fit he is with the rest of this team. Alas.]

So. Are you hungry enough to give it a try?
