audio post. [ @daylit and @nightshade collaboration. ]
-There we go! Hi guys!
[ the audio picks up just as some sort of agreement has been made between two parties - one of them consisting of coraline and daylight, judging by the voices, and the other consisting of the nice ice cream crab vendor due to their chat about wanting to sample all the flavours.
yes. all of the flavours. daylight cheerfully explains what's happening: apparently, the two are going to taste all thirty-one flavours that the crab vendor has to offer. shout out to coraline for the really neat idea...!
what follows next will be the - for the sake of conserving space for the players - a text transcript for the reactions that coraline and daylight have. the one describing the look of the ice cream is coraline while both of them are going to try and eat the ice cream. emphasise on try. ]
[ OOC NOTE; The original Google Docs of the compiled flavour testing can be found HERE. Feel free to assume that the table at the end that shows Coraline and Daylight's ratings for the ice cream is a file that has been attached at the end of the post.
A thing to note is that if someone tries to open the document to check on the ratings- This is one of the first things that they will see at the top of the document:
Since some people are cowards and won’t try all the flavors. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
Ratings are 1-10 with 10 being the best. ]

Flavour #001
Description: Looks like… vanilla???
C: It uh feels. Starchy. I think it’s savory. I let it sit in my mouth for a bit. For all of you. I think there’s like. Bonito? Is this the noodle????
D: Um!! This is-- It’s like wet dough that someone tried to mush up. Then try to freeze up. This is weird.
Flavour #002
Description: Dark red. Very pretty.
C: Earthy… that’s what I’m getting. I’m guessing it’s the beet or whatever. Boring. Moving on.
D: Oh! I know this taste. I think this is beet. Huh... It's kind of weird that this isn't glowing, though.
D: Yeah! Glowing. Where I'm from, beets and other produce glow if they’ve been planted in the ground.
C: What the fuck that’s so much cooler than what we got back home
D: For what it’s worth- I definitely think this is safer to eat.
C: Wait so is it radiation?

C: Huh weird.
Flavour #003
Description: Orange
C: Spicy!! I think it’s sriracha… oh shit I should see if Rastus can get me some.

C: Oh shit good point.
Flavour #005
Description: Super. SUPER yellow.
C: It tastes… warm. I’m definitely getting ginger. Very nice.
D: You’re right! There’s ginger here. I think Tumeric as well. I’d recognise these spices anywhere.
Flavour #006
Description: Lavender. It’s so pretty wth. Has some yellowish chunks in it though???
C: Super floral… which I kinda like for some reason. Also getting sesame. Also just super sweet. Love it!!!

D: I put it in my mouth and chew??
C: But like, filters?

C: I can’t believe you have food allergies.
Flavour #007
Description: Uh… kinda like puke.
C: Pineapple and soap. Gross.

C: [sounds of giggling.]
Flavour #008
Description: A more yellowish vanilla with… crab? Lobster?? Chunks??? Um.

D: [indignant daylight noises intensifies.]
Flavour #009
Description: Light green with… black specks?
C: Warm and spicy! Definitely pepper.
D: Cardamom with hints of, ummm, black pepper! I think this is cardamom. I like the taste, it's just- I didn't think I'll get to try this. They're extinct where I'm from.
C: I feel like you’re getting way more out of these than I am which… you know… [awkward silence for a moment.] ANYWAYS-!
Flavour #010
Description: Also vanillaish with like. Twigs?
C: Woody and grassy. Is this edible?
D: Rosemary! I know rosemary anywhere! This is really good. I really like how clean this tastes? Definitely going to get this next time.
Flavour #011

C: Spicy and numbing. It like goes upright to your sinuses. Wasabi???
D: Oh no- No- Sorry I can't- Ow-
C: Uh gimme a sec. [sounds of footsteps going off and muffled words.] OK got an empty cup.
D: Thank you. [daylight is now going to very politely scoot away so no one hears this-]
Flavour #012
Description: An earthy yellow.
C: Definitely curry! Not sure how I feel about it but. It sure is curry!
D: No- [daylight is going to scoot away from the device again. guess he’s going to the cup.]
Flavour #013
Description: Like… reddish brown.
C: Sweet… kinda sour. Uh. [sounds of smacking.] Balsamic… vinegar?
D: Whatever this is supposed to be- I think we're hitting the land of 'Daylight Literally Cannot Stomach This’ now.
D, definitely: [muffled and grateful 'thanks...!' as day, once again, leans away from the recording. that cup is getting milage right now.]
Flavour #014
Description: Orange with some sort of syrup and nuts swirled through.
C: Maple!!! With a cronch. Heh. Cronch. Not sure what the actual ice cream is though, sorry.
D: This tastes weird... I guess I'm used to the sweet potato in this having a more bitter bite to it. Also- Glowing. I'm used to it glowing. I really like the walnuts!
D: ... Can we?
C: ... Let’s go ask Rastus for glow sticks after this holy shit.
Flavour #015
Description: Red… 2!

Flavour #016
Description: Black!!! Very aesthetic.
C: I honestly don’t taste anything. Possibly dirt.

C: [faint sounds of a mouth opening and closing a few times.]
Flavour #017
Description: A faint green.
C: Mint! Wish it had chocolate chips.
D: I wonder what this other taste in it is, though. I definitely taste it but I only recognise the mint.
Flavour #018
Description: Pink!!
C: … Some sort of fruity flavor I think… Frutti Tutti? Is that an ice cream flavor?
D: ??? I don't know what this is. I mean- I think this is something Auntie Laura once described to me, but it's extinct now. I wish I remembered the name.
Flavour #019
Description: Red and white swirl.
C: Ok that is definitely kimchi which SHOULD NOT go in ice cream… but I kinda like it. Woops.
D: Oh! Is that what the bite is? I think my Aunties, at the very least, would like it. [and with that, daylight is heading back to his cup.]
D: No. [a thoughtful pause.] My aunties did, though. I think, um, Auntie Mori used to make kimchi smoothies for Uncle Roderic. The smell.
C: Okay that’s super weird, even for me.
Flavour #020
Description: White… actually like super super super pale green.
C: It’s really icy and kinda sweet… that’s honestly all I’m getting.

Flavour #021
Description: Brown.
C: CHOCOLATE!!!!!! Yum.
D: Oh no- Filters are acting up again. Sorry- Wait- [this poor cup right now.] For what it’s worth: It was nice before my frame rejected it.

C: Only like 10 more, we got this!
D: [silence.]
D: [then, a very quiet, ‘uh oh.’]
Flavour #022
Description: White with like, super distinct black chunks.
C: Another cheese with an added layer of savory sweet crunch. Kinda tastes like olives. I hope it isn’t since I hate olives. This is pretty good though.
D: This is goat cheese! I can tell from how tart is it, compared to cow's milk. I think you're right on it being olives, Coraline. Surprisingly complimentary.
C: ... who am I?
D: [daylight is trying very hard to not laugh. he really is.]
Flavour #023
Description: Uh… dirty.
C: Seafoody and funky. It’s kinda good though??? Reminds me of the noodle one but better.
D: Actual vanilla! I think this tastes real- Does this mean there's orchids here? I wonder where they are.
Flavour #024
Description: Bright yellow.
C: Mustard. I’m just. Why.
D: [the cup is making a comeback.]
Flavour #025
Description: Light orange swirled with a pale green that has dark flecks in it.
C: … I’m pretty sure the monkey paw just curled on me. Hey pass the cup real fast.
D: Please don’t keep it to yourself. This is the weirdest one yet because separately I think they’d be okay. Together?? I think this is the ice cream vendor getting back at us.

D, presumably: [very, very, very gentle patting can be heard.]
Flavour #026

C: Hey the kimchi wasn’t bad either!!
Flavour #028
Description: Grassy green.
C: … How many grass flavors are we getting here. Once again, is this edible???
D: [in between laughing.] That's basil! I think it stands out from the other herbs due to the pepper you can almost taste.
C: Yum. Leaf. [one can almost hear the frown on her face because she used to like basil. press f for coraline’s tastebuds.]
Flavour #029
Description: Kinda looks like matcha ice cream!
C: I’m pretty sure it’s matcha! Has the signature earthiness.
