[ Well, despite her feelings on the matter, Beth sets up another afterparty this week! It's much the same as the weeks before - salad, some hot dogs and hot dog-related products - and cheetos are conspicuously absent, at least as much as is possible. She can't stop people from bringing them, but she can make sure none are around at the start of things.

In addition, though, she went to the art room and grabbed a bunch of supplies! There's a table set up with a piece of paper labeling it "ART THERAPY ZONE." Another table has some small instruments on it, and is labelled "MUSIC THERAPY ZONE."

The food table is labeled "SALAD THERAPY ZONE," don't worry. ]

What can I say? Horses are rad.

[ a beat ]

Dinosaurs are cool too, trying to bring them back is just sorta illegal after the one time.

[codeofhero]

"Bring them back"?

[what did humans do this time]

[oh_worm]

I mean we didn't kill them, a mass extinction event did that biz, but some guy tried to bring them back on Clonetopia, which is not where the clones here are from, and they lost hecka Goldblums trying to fix the mess.

[codeofhero]

[....He takes a moment to parse what she's saying.]

Hmm... Cloning dinosaurs tend to be a dangerous turn of events, I know first-hand how difficult they can be.

[oh_worm]

No matter when or how you try it, dinosaur clones just... find a way to be butts.

[codeofhero]

Yes.... especially when they are a clone of yourself.

[oh_worm]

Oh man, self clones are buuuuuuuunk nonsense, for sure. Self dinoclones are probably double the bunk.

[codeofhero]

Indeed. He was nothing more than a poor imitation, lacking in my honorable qualities.

[Snarls]

Thankfully he's gone for good. At least he managed to be... delicious.

[oh_worm]

I mean... you do you, dude. Wait, why... do you eat food?

[codeofhero]

I did. [eat a 100% bio organic clone of himself. Yes. At least he was handsome.]

What do you think I've been doing to keep my energy reserves up these past cycles?

[oh_worm]

No, I mean... you eating another you aside, why can you eat stuff? You're a robot.

[codeofhero]

My body adjusted to meet different standards, once I had taken on my Beast Mode. I'm capable of consuming organic material and turning it into the energy I require, almost like an organic.

[Hint: the Mainframe writers didn't think it through and rolled with it.]

[oh_worm]

Well, that's... I mean it makes sense, it's just still kind of wild to think a robot could chow down on a burger. Do you taste stuff too, when you eat it?

[codeofhero]

Of course. Though, I have never found much enjoyment in the act of eating. I'd prefer to replenish myself with Energon, but as you're already aware, there isn't a vein of it to be found.
