As Blaise walks down the street to his favourite soda shop, he playfully hums to himself. 'What flavour soda should I get today?' he wonders happily. He's so caught up in his own thoughts that he doesn't see the slime ball in front of him until he steps in it and falls backwards from the slippery goo.

"O...owww..." Blaise groans as he rubs the lower part of his back, still wincing. "That sucked..."

He looks back at the slime ball to find something else in it's place - a small, triangle shaped ball of rice with a piece of seaweed wrapped around it. He blinks curiously at it, forgetting for a moment the fact that he had fallen at all. He picks up the rice ball and examines it closely. It looked like food, had the texture of food. He looks around to see if there were any more. Finding it was the only one, he got himself up and dusted off, before walking off with the rice ball in hand. After observing it for a little while, he decides it should be okay to eat. Right? Right.

As he bites into it, he chews for a second, before making a rather repulsed face. He looks in the middle of the remaining rice ball to see if there's anything there, but nothing exists that would indicate the flavour he was tasting. He quickly gulps the piece down and cringes.

"What on earth is this thing? You'd think it would taste better!" He pockets the rest, not sure what else to do with it. He shakes his head a little, feeling dizzy for a second, then continues on his way. "I can't wait to drink that soda, now. Wash that taste out of my mouth."

Mina is out and around, with a pink beanie with red flower pulled down over her cat ears to hide them. She'd had yet another argument with her parents and is on a shopping trip to cheer herself up. Then she sees Blaise slip on the slime and scowls. Those gross things're everywhere.

But then she sees it turn into a rice ball... and him pick it up and eat it.

"Gross! So gross! I can't believe you ate that!"

"But it's food. Or... It looked like food. It tasted like... not food, though. Bleh..." Blaise sticks his tongue out in disgust, pulling the rice ball from his pocket and holding it out to Mina.

"See, it's texture says it's definitely food. And I never tried anything like it. At least, I don't think." Blaise remembers what he saw a moment ago, then shakes his head. "Nah. There's no way I've tried something like this before. Who made it? Do they all taste like that? Why would someone waste food like that? Maybe it was a failed attempt. Maybe I can save it with salt and seasoning?" he finishes as he seriously contemplates continuing to eat the morphed rice ball.

Mina couldn't believe what she's hearing. "Didn't you see the slime turn into a rice ball? Oh, right, you were too busy slipping on it. But you're really gonna eat something you found on the ground? Gross!"

"Wait, this was slime?"

Well, that actually explained it's flavour. Blaise's eyes go wide as he steadily realises, dropping the rice ball on the ground.

"EWWW! I ate it! That's in my stomach now! Is it poisonous? Am I going to die? Should I go to the doctor? Why did it turn into a food ball? This makes no sense!"

Blaise sets his hands on his head, freaking out about what he just ate. Good job, Mina, you broke it.

Wow, he sure is panicking. She isn't sure what to do about this.

"Whoa, calm down calm down!"

She's beginning to get annoyed by his freaking out.

"Just go to the doctor if you're that worried!"

Blaise doesn't seem to hear her amidst his freaking out. Stress isn't really something he deals with to this level. It's so new to him, in fact, he covers his mouth for a moment before running over to some bushes. He leans as close as he can to not cause the biggest scene and just... yarfs all over them...

After a few go's and the dry-heaving stops, he shakily gets back up. He cringes as he see the rice ball piece he ate, somewhat returning some slime value to itself. At least it's out now. He wipes any remnants on his hand and onto the back of his pants before turning back to Mina. He gives her an apologetic smile.

"S-sorry you had to see that. Uhm... I... Yea, that was awkward...." He scratches the back of his head, a little embarrassed. That. In public. Just. Oops. "I... guess I'll just go home, now. Sorry, again. I don't want to offer you my hand after that. Nice, uhm... meeting you, I guess."

Blaise's awkwardness gets more and more awkward the more he talks.

Mina isn't really good at dealing with someone having a freakout. She's just about to begin shouting at him to get over it when he runs away to puke. Gross. So gross!

"Hey, don't just go puking in front of people! I don't want to touch your hand either!"

She's too grossed out to bother being polite. Normally she'd be putting on her best appearances upon meeting a person, but this had been a particularly disgusting encounter.

Blaise chuckles a bit and nods.

"Yes, you're right. I'm sorry."

Just like that, he manages to shrug it off. He nods his head again, and walks past Mina, heading on his way home.

"Have a good one," he says as he waves over his shoulder.

Mina is a bit mollified by the apology. Just a bit. It's just enough for her to put on a better face, though.

"You too."

A polite gesture she doesn't really mean, but she puts on a pretty good face. She resumes on her way.
