>>5877461>>5877619>>5877636>"Mmm, been a while since I've eaten something now that I think about it. Maybe I should try that food challenge...">"I agree Storkie! You're so smart!">"WAAUGH!! Where-">"I was here the whole time!">"Wah... Really?? Why didn't you say anything?">"But I DID! You were too busy doing a thinky face and looking at stuff to pay attention to me!">"Huh... Well uh, you wanna... go check that out?">"Yep!"You both walk over to the food challenge table. Two plates containing a pile of some kind of grain sit on top, next to them is a single glass of water (Water would be REALLY nice right about now...). The print in front of the counter says "Diffuser Challenge!!" in slightly faded bright magenta colors.
>*ding ding*A silver bell sits on top of the table, you ring it with conviction. You never back down from a challenge!
>"Uh... Huh?! Ahh!"A voice comes out of the table itself, surprising you. Disappointingly it does not turn out to be a magical talking table, it's just a person crouched down underneath it. She quickly adjusts herself and gets up, fixing up the cap sitting above her head.
>"Uhh... A-Are you here to trash the stall again?! Look, I just work here-">"Woah woah, calm down lady, we've just arrived in town!">"O-Oh, really...? Um, well, w-welcome to the Diffuser Challenge... I guess...">"Mhm, I got that from the sign, what are the rules though? Clearly it's about eating these plates of... whatever these are.">"Y-You don't know what diffusers are??">"Yeah, me and Storkie are not from this planet you see! Why do you ask?">"O-Oh no no no, it' n-nothing! A-Anyways! The rules are, if you eat a full plate of diffusers before this hourglass here ticks down, you get THIS box! ...and also this money here."The girl points to the far right corner of the table, there sits a mysterious magenta-colored box and a pile of money bills.
>"600 hex to be exact! B-Boss made me pay outta my own pocket when I suggested the idea, definitely not buying that new Garanol Green cutlery set I was eyeing, but seriously, no one is gonna eat ALL of these diffusers just for a stupid box- Errm, I mean! Y-You wanna try it or what?! C'mon, it's free! Just one plate! Hehe..."You grab one of these "diffusers" and squish it with your fingers. They're quite hard, but nothing your reinforced teeth can't crunch through, plus your stomach is pretty empty, you could probably eat this whole thing super fast if you REALLY tried. Your partner looks quite excited as well, she's always been a bit of a big eater.
>"U-Uhh... Just a warning and, I think this is quite obvious, you can only go one at a time!"Oh, yeah, right. What will you do?
