Question: "What would the RO choose between eating some raw live snake or some raw live octopus?"
Answer:
"Neither," R immediately answers. "I even question the validity of calamari."
"Calamari would be like distant cousins to raw octopus," B unhelpfully points out. "I'm treating this like a Would You Rather question, so I'd rather eat the octopus, but, like, the suckers have to be removed." Their expression scrunches in slight dismay as they swallow thickly, most likely imagining how it would feel to chew on one of the rubbery feelers. "That'd be such a horrible way to die—if it got caught in your throat or—"
"Detective, please say something," R interjects, pleased when B falls silent under their incredulous gaze. "Anything at all."
"The snake," J decides. "I think the texture would be better, not as blubbery."
S scoops up R's car keys from the coffee table before they can collect them to leave, rolling their eyes at R's dramatics given how proteins and food customs vary widely across the globe. "I feel like the octopus might be more approachable," they reply. "Maybe with a thai chili sauce?"
"I will not be capitulating on my answer. I suppose I'm not as adventurous as you all."
