“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!”

“Pheh! Hairy!”

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

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

“…Am I going to die?”

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

“Okay, time to see what’s inside.”

“Wow. This tastes really good!”

“…That’s a stupid idea.”

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

“You look innocent. But maybe…”

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

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

“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.”

“Aha! So that’s all it is?”

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

“Must taste bad, huh?”

“…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.”

“Ah. Am I supposed to eat this?”

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

“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. Totally non-poisonous food ready to be eaten. Happy?”

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

“What are you talking about? I'm giving you food. Are you allergic to the color blue or something?”

“Poisonous?”

“Um. I am now? I mean, I figured that out earlier. These ones are good. I've checked them.”

“...Want one?”

“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?”

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

“Take them. You look thin, and maybe if you eat them you'll stop bothering other people. Thank you for your business. Come by again and I'll feed you. Try to scare me and I'll hit you harder next time.”
