Just out of curiosity, is it possible for organics to live consuming nothing but liquids?

Also, do the refueling sessions ever serve drinks that glow pink?

I've seen a number of people talking like this on the board. Are you. . . something that's not organic?

And it is possible to survive on a liquid diet, but not with the liquids they serve here. I don't think they have the right nutrients in them. But I'm not really an expert or anything.

[ruthless-hunter.livejournal.com]

No, I'm a sentient mechanical being.

So, in other words, I may have to continue consuming solid matter?

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

A. . . wow. I know of humanoid mechanical beings, but they aren't sentient. That would make things a lot more complicated I knew people here were from different worlds, but that's. . . really different. You must be able to get out of here really easily, then. Unless -- wait, why are you asking about how to eat anyway?

Yeah, pretty much, unless you can convince the staff to put you on a liquid diet for medical reasons or something. I don't think those are that great for you, either.

[ruthless-hunter.livejournal.com]

Because I've somehow been turned into a flesh creature you stupid human

Well, it looks as if I may have to settle for solids for now.

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

They did that to you, here? Really? The extent of the technology they have available is scary. I'm sorry, it must be a difficult transition to make.

[ruthless-hunter.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't know. Whatever happened to me, happened while I was recharging.

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

If that's the equivalent to being asleep, I think that's when they did things to most people. When we all find a way to get out of here and back to our own worlds, we're going to find a way to fix this too. I'm sure of it.

[ruthless-hunter.livejournal.com]

You all better. Otherwise, I'd have to come after you all, and you humans don't want me coming after you.

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

If you're anything like the humanoid robots I know, then no, we don't. Good luck with the food thing.

[notachick.livejournal.com]

It is possible, but only for a certain number of days. After that, the lack of nutrition will likely kill you♥

And...no. I don't think I've ever seen a drink glow pink.

Slag

If I have to keep consuming solids at this rate, I probably will go insane for real.

[notachick.livejournal.com]

Do you dislike the taste?

[ruthless-hunter.livejournal.com]

The orange drink I had during the first refueling period was not too bad, but the flat square with the indentions was too dry for my taste.

I just can't believe I, the greatest bounty hunter on Cybertron, have been reduced to a fleshy slag-crunching machine.

[notachick.livejournal.com]

Did you put syrup on it? Most of the breads and other such dry items are supposed to have some form of topping - syrup, fruit, butter, etc.

Also, I don't think machines can be fleshy♥

[ruthless-hunter.livejournal.com]

You don't say? Well, there was no indication that this "bread", was to be eaten in such a manner. I would think that these "toppings" would make a mess of your hands while you eat the food.

Normally they are not. However, I am now made of flesh, and chewing stuff like a crunching-machine. It's rediculous.

[notachick.livejournal.com]

They probably thought you knew how to do it. Oh! And if it was the thing from this morning, you use the fork to eat it.

You're a person now. Not a fleshy crunching-machine.

[ruthless-hunter.livejournal.com]

What's a "fork", and what does it have to do with refueling?

Person, flesh creature, it's all the same thing: weak, inferior body.

[notachick.livejournal.com]

There are three utensils the Institute provides in order to facilitate the patients in eating - a knife, a fork and a spoon. A fork looks like this (drawing of a fork), a spoon like this (drawing of a spoon), and a knife like this (hello little knife drawing). Forks are the most basic and used to eat solid foods. Spoons are for liquid foods like soups.

Using a fork would keep your hands from getting messy♥

[ruthless-hunter.livejournal.com]

I see. Well, I'll have to use these utensils when the next refueling session comes up.

[notachick.livejournal.com]

That would be advisable, yes.

[scarefaux]

I was told that eating would make you feel better, and that nutrients are important.

Going without them is irksome, apparently. Your body will complain loudly until you do something about it.

Re: [scribbly]

[ruthless-hunter.livejournal.com]

I don't know what nutrients are, but they sure as slag aren't making me any happier.

Well, if only for the sake of satifying this weak body, I'd better stick to these human eating requirements.

[haplesstracker.livejournal.com]

You'd need to drink a lot of them for all the food groups. So you'd need the fruit juice, the vegetable juice, the milk, and...I don't know, do they make meat juice? I suppose you could drink the drippy bits.

[ruthless-hunter.livejournal.com]

Fruit? Vegetable? Milk? What are you talking about?

Are these food types? If food can be converted to liquid, then why do all these humans keep telling me that I need to consume solid matter?

[haplesstracker.livejournal.com]

Because unlike pretty much every 'bot here bar me, they actually like the taste. Burnt flesh just doesn't blend well.

I dunno, maybe it's a tracker thing.

[no-side-effects.livejournal.com]

It is possible, but not advisable if you wish to stay in a reasonable physical condition.

[ruthless-hunter.livejournal.com]

Well, physical condition is very important to me. I doubt I'll get to apply my function while here, but that's no excuse to let my physical condition worsen. Not anymore than it has, anyway.
