As everyone settled in the theater Artem takes a breath.
That’s. A lot of people… people that would be affected probably forever by their mistake….
They steal themselves. No matter how much they want to run away from this, it was their kids out there. It was their friends, and Beaus friends… the people out there were people they talked to, that they cooked for.
They can’t run away from that, from them.
So they stepped out and turned on the projector.
The screen reading: Fae Food and You
“Welcome… everyone” Artem is very thankful their powers don’t work through technology, so no one would feel the projections of anxiety
“Beau and I… have made an error and were unsure of how many of you are affected… I… well… uh just… wait until the end for questions please…? We have a lot to cover…”
And with that, Artem began their lecture. It was chaotic and very obvious that this PowerPoint once had a conspiracy board style of organization.
It starts with the literature surrounding fae food, the historical accounts of its affects, how earthly food tasted different forever and how this drove some into despair, then there was an entire section of the presentation dedicated to the kinds of food that would have been available to the person giving those accounts.
Then they move on to what is fae food in this case?
“Well… we know for sure that food made with fae ingredients would count as fae food”
At this a picture of Artems Rose in its natural state as well as its various edible forms are displayed.
“and it’s possible that food made with earthly ingredients but made by fae hands could count as well but we aren’t sure”
The lecture continues as Artem lays out the proposed experiment:
Everyone is going to try some of the takeout they ordered and see who among them are under the effects of fae food. This would also allow the ones under the effect to know what the difference in taste actually is.
Then they have food Artem made, they made magical food, nonmagical food, and nonmagical food that’s also historical recreations of what was described in their earlier presentation to compare modern food to the food that would cause people to despair after trying fae food.
After that those who have confirmed they are affected by fae food could try some of the food Beau made, some containing artems rose and some not so they could compare that as well.
After rambling the idea Artem trails off and looks to the people before them
