[You're in a neighborhood of six homes, each roof matching the color of the six teams. Of course, you are carrying the key to your own house, and you'll find yourself walking to the front door as background music begins to play to match your new, bright technicolor life.

You feel the urge to go inside and once you're in, the compulsion is gone. Once you walk in, you will notice that your joints have been replaced with ball joints and your skin feels more like porcelain. Even if you're covered in fur or feathers, they have a smoother texture that feels more fake than anything. Your movements might also be a little bit stiffer than what you're familiar with, but nothing hurts. Despite everything, you still FEEL like you're in a human body (or whatever body you normally have).

Your clothes are also matching the role that you've chosen, but there's additional lace and frills attached to the hems and such.]

"Oh-waa-aa . . . I woke up, wowaa-aa-aa... Okay, okay, lets have fun...? I had a dream about family sitcoms so we can do that . . .

Ummmmuuu . . .

Will you pick a room for me...? Zzz..."

I feel like we should decide what to make for dinner before we invite them in, otherwise we'll all still be arguing. But it's not a bad idea to show them we're harmless.

The food problem should be easy to solve. It just needs to be something easy to customize, like making a bunch of personal pizzas, or tacos that everyone can choose their own toppings for.

--Oh! I like tacos for that idea. The pizzas would be good too, but if we have to run away from the police I feel like the tacos are a little more portable.

[ nod nod ]

So, tacos with a variety of fillings and toppings to deal with all the pickiness. Maybe some of the picky eaters could even try something new as a way to, like, learn more about each other? That sounds sitcom-y.

We could have Aides eat a full meal!

[too excited about the prospect tbh]

Does he have trouble eating normally?

The only thing he likes eating is sweets. For everything else he just wants to eat nutrient cubes. It was just part of how he was raised, I think, but this is a good opportunity for him to try some new things too.

... I'm not even going to ask about the nutrient cube.

The place he grew up in was called the "Island of Woe".

Honestly, his parents seemed nice, but the place itself could use some work. The food was just like that, apparently.

What is a "taco"?

Yes, what is... 'taako'...?

Isn't that octopus? Like, octopus balls?

[ u guys... ]

That's takoyaki.

Tacos are — uh. You start with a very flat flat-bread, and then you put some cooked, spiced meat on top and add chopped tomatoes, onions, greens, and cheese for toppings. Then you can pick it all up with the tortilla — the bread it's sitting on.
