Sibling Rivalries: Chili Edition


Inside, everything's set up and waiting for the hungry and the curious: Clint's cooking in one corner, and Verity's in the other. Between them, tables are laid out with the necessities: bowls, plates, spoons, and plenty of napkins. There's beer and iced tea, some lovely tres leches cakes provided by the Nexus' favorite Japanese detective, and various toppings for the chili: bottles of sriracha and sweet Thai chili sauce, red pepper flakes, green onions and red, lime wedges, diced bell peppers and jalapeƱos, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream. Cornbread and tortilla chips round things out.
Long tables with a mix of benches and chairs fill the hall on either side of the fire pits. One has board and card games stacked neatly at one end (they were neat when they were put out, at least). Another has two boxes, one wrapped in purple paper and one in pink, for depositing voting slips.
Poll #17301 1st Annual Chili Cook-Off

Who gets your vote?
((There will doubtless be further Cupid-based shenanigans, but this weekend, it's all about the platonic relationships. Bromances, BFFs, and family ties rule the day! Let's celebrate! Threadhopping, tangents, games, and mischief are all encouraged. Just don't start a food fight or Verity will have to yell.))

*Verity's concern over wardrobe gets a nod; wardrobe is important.*
How do you feel about a vacsuit like mine? Maybe a himation over it?
no subject
"With something over it, yeah, that'd be fine. I'm not sure where to get one. Is there a shop around here?"
no subject
*There are corporations in Samus' era that could give Roxxon a real run for its money.*
no subject
She'd rather not know about that, thanks.

Of course you do. And I knew that, because I asked you a while ago how you were speaking Chozo. Unless you'd like to be able to scan things, then, we can skip those.

*Her smile is a touch wistful for a moment, but her trip down memory lane isn't long.*
Look at things to get more information about them, or interact with devices around you. There's also options of visual censors, to block out things you don't want to see or that might be actively harmful.
no subject
"There are things that are dangerous to look at?" Oh, Samus, you have so much future to explain to Ver.
no subject
*Her smile grows. Then is set aside, as she needs to explain some of the hazards of her Facet.*
If you're exposed to harmfully bright light, a good visor will opaque the affected area and display a safe visual representation in its place. Also, if you had augmented eyes or neural upgrades, and someone showed you an image meant to mess with them, the visor could be programmed to put a censor screen over it. Less harmfully, some people also program them to censor things they consider immodest. Although some claim it's easier to fight an addiction when you can't see your drug of choice, or ads for it.

*She pauses a half-second, then thinks of something to add.*
Oh, it'll auto-adjust the lenses to your prescription, too, if that's a concern.
*Since Verity wears glasses.*
no subject
"That'd be convenient," she admits. Layered glasses are never cool.

Someday she'll believe that. Maybe.
"Can I turn the different settings on and off?"
no subject
You can, anytime.

But on the other important topics: "So... do vacsuits come in purple?"

Maybe she can find a nice feather pattern for Samus...
