1. [Video] Much Ranting to Be Had

[Gilbert is at the terminal again, a nutrition bar in his hand. A stack of them can be seen in front of him. He begins to practically shout into the screen, gesticulating angrily.]

Hey, everybody! Gilbert here, and I am PISSED! We've got these stupid bars again! And the restaurant is CLOSED! Definitely, surely, one-hundred-per-cent CLOSED! I checked around the area, in the area, around the area some more, and NOTHING! Maybe we should FORCE the restaurant open somehow! Like, I don't know, we could get in there somehow and maybe raid their ingredients... they've got to still have ingredients.

[An incredibly huffy sigh.] I have to eat bunches of these things before I feel full... [He reluctantly takes a giant bite out of the nutrition bar in his hand.] I've had a nutrition bar month before, but I'd still like to ask you guys: how do YOU survive the Nutrition Bar Lifestyle?

[ Ahhh... Yes. Yes, he does seem rather angry. She's not sure how to calm him down. ]

I've never had one before. We did not... bake? We did not bake such food on my world.

[ Actually, do you bake a nutrition bar? How does one make nutrition bars? They taste a little like really unusual bread to her. And plain and dry. ]

Well, now that you've had them, what do you think? They're super-bland, aren't they? Dammit, I wish the restaurant was open so I could introduce you to some real tasty stuff.

[ Cecil makes a face. ]

I dislike them as much as you do.

[ But onto more pressing matters! ]

I didn't know there was a restaurant here.

Yep, there's a restaurant here, and normally it's got delicious stuff in it, like pancakes! Sometimes it even has beer, too! It's not as good as the stuff I had at home, but generally it's pretty good stuff.

But the catch is, you pay for the restaurant with random items in the tower. And if you don't pay... they take something out of your body. Scary, but death is just a "thing" here.

[ Oh! Don't say things like that! ]

That is a high price to pay for different food when there is already food being supplied to us!

[ Cecil furrows her brow in worry. Regardless of death's transient nature here, it's still painful and, yes, frightening. She doesn't want anyone to suffer a death they don't need to. ]

Please don't go there often, when it reopens.

W-well... sometimes the food isn't so good! [Not that he has actually turned down the food on most occasions.]

Hey, hey, don't worry! I've only gone there once, and I had some help that time! [...Help stealing, that is.] I got really easy objects to retrieve, so I lucked out. I still say that, if we get another month like this and the restaurant's open, we should totally go there.

Well... if you're certain...

[ She still doesn't feel good about it, but if he's going to do these things anyway, she figures she may as well be there to help. ]

I guess we shouldn't worry about that now, though. Who knows, next month might actually have some decent food. We'll just have to wait and see.
