“Weird. Grey bark, green leaves, blue fruit. Who dropped the paint bucket on this thing? And why is it so…tough?”

“[Mysterious Blue Fruit acquired!] Dun dun dun dun!”

“It’s like a peach. Not a monster, not a monster…”

“…Am I going to die?”

“Pheh! Hairy!”

“That is the biggest seed I’ve ever seen. There’s more seed here than fruit!”

“Okay, time to see what’s inside.”

“Well, it’s good to know they hate fruit.”

“Wow. This tastes really good!”

“Aha! So that’s all it is?”

“Do I just eat what’s in the cupboard and fight dino-birds? If I can’t eat the blue fruits…”

“You look innocent. But maybe…”

“Maybe the poison is making the fruit like—wetter? Or it’s making the fruit weaker?”

“[Basic Crafting]. Might as well give it a shot. I’m out of fruit, anyways.”

“I think I need to figure out what a good one looks like.”

“…Looks like I’ve got a few weeks before I run out. But bleh, eating just blue fruit all the time would be disgusting. At least there’s some ingredients left for pasta if I can find more eggs.”

“I could eat mushrooms! Or…maybe not mushrooms because ick. Or bugs? Wait—that’s just as bad. Plants, then. Herbs. And blue fruits. Okay—this fruit and this fruit and this fruit.”

“I suppose the toxicity would be acceptable if it were just the fruit. Well then.”

“Highly. The core of the Amentus Fruit causes painful death within hours if eaten. While the outer rind is safe for consumption, the inner seeds are toxic. You are aware of this, right?”

“Here. Blue juice and some blue fruit. I’ve also got pasta, but I need to warm that up first.”

“Look, it’s safe. I’ve eaten tons of them. Just eat around the core and you’ll be fine, okay? I figured out how to check for good ones. See?”

“Are you aware that, ah, this fruit is poisonous?”
