An educated guess?

<Player1>

[knifemonopoly]

it was something adam knew about solido. i gambled on your tastes being alike, instead of taking a shot in the dark!

<purplepiper>

[epitaffio]

[... It's a good thing Yugi phrased it in that particular way. It means Doppio's protests won't be as fervently denialistic as they'd probably be otherwise.]

Oh, wow
That's a crazy coincidence.

<Player1>

[knifemonopoly]

[he happens to know how doppio feels about "he wasn't me!"]

isn't it?

i'm just glad they won't go to waste!

[but also he nailed the apology gift, so, #winning]

<purplepiper>

[epitaffio]

[It is appreciated, even if Doppio isn't absolutely sure Yugi is just being polite about the elephant in the room.]

Oh yeah, especially since I'm always hungry.
Sure I don't really get anything out of any food that isn't meat anymore, but...
It still tastes nice.

i ​know what you mean. it seems like every time i end up eating normal food, it's because the people around me are...it's just for fun now.

<purplepiper>

[epitaffio]

Are you hungry all the time too?
I think I read somewhere that it's a waldgeist thing, but it's seriously annoying.
Eating meat helps, but anything else feels like it just passes right through me.

<Player1>

[knifemonopoly]

not exactly, but...if i am hungry and eat something that isn't blood, it doesn't help.

being hungry all the time sounds pretty terrible though

<purplepiper>

[epitaffio]

Oh, I don't mean THAT kind of hunger!
It's more like I just crave meat all the time.
And... I guess eating other stuff doesn't help at all, but I still eat it just because I can?

<Player1>

[knifemonopoly]

but it's related to your monster type...

[Wait, didn't Doppio say something when he first arrived...?]

you do take care of THAT kind of hunger, right?

<purplepiper>

[epitaffio]

[Oh boy, here we go. Doppio knows this never goes down well, but... maybe, just maybe... Yugi will understand?]

Nope
I don't need to eat people.
That part never kicked in for me.

<Player1>

[knifemonopoly]

[...

...

...that shouldn't be possible.]

are you the only one who doesn't have to?

<purplepiper>

[epitaffio]

There's at least one other guy!

[No, Doppio doesn't even know his name.]

<Player1>

[knifemonopoly]

who is it

[If this is real, and some monsters can just...get away with it...he wants to know.]

<purplepiper>

[epitaffio]

I don't know his name, sorry.
He just pops up on the network when I talk about this sometimes.

<Player1>

[knifemonopoly]

if you find out who he is, tell me

<purplepiper>

[epitaffio]

Uh sure.

[Wow, this conversation feels really weird all of a sudden. Why could that possibly be??

... Ah.]

Wait, do you believe me?

<Player1>

[knifemonopoly]

i think it's worth finding out if you're right.

<purplepiper>

[epitaffio]

[...]

Right!
I mean, how could I be wrong about this?

<Player1>

[knifemonopoly]

you'd remember eating people if that's something you were doing, wouldn't you?

[if...he doesn't have blackouts.]

<purplepiper>

[epitaffio]

Well yeah, it seems like a pretty big deal.
Wouldn't I feel different after eating someone?

[also why even mention blackouts, which are a PERFECTLY normal thing to experience]

<Player1>

[knifemonopoly]

you'd feel less hungry, definitely.

<purplepiper>

[epitaffio]

Exactly
But I'm always hungry!
