That's just...wrong...
Laura Cruz was hungry, the kind of hungry that made people contemplate eating whatever they can find in her pockets, edible or not. She was absolutely tortured by the fact that Andrew had insisted that they do a full investigation of the tombs before going back for dinner.
"It's because we both know we won't feel like it after we eat, so let's just knock this out while we're in the mood, okay?" He explained, however Laura wasn't in the mood EITHER way, but she was too hungry to complain.
"...Are we done yet?" She whined for what felt like the thirtieth time.
"No...shouldn't killing all of these ghouls be making you sick to your stomach?" Andrew replied, trying to reason with his partner. But for some reason the rotting carcasses just made Laura even hungrier. She just assumed that the ghoul soul gave her an unbelievable appetite.
She didn't realize how bad it was until, after chopping several of said ghouls into tiny pieces, that she looked over at a piece of rotting flesh and suddenly felt her mouth water.
"Uhh...this might not be so good..." She said to herself, but despite her words she was advancing on the rotten meat.
"Umm, well maybe one bite wouldn't hurt...and I AM getting desperate..." She added. Andrew didn't really care about it but he did turn around to see what Laura was muttering to herself about.
"Huh?" He whispered when he saw Laura kneel and pick up a piece of rotten meat. After a quick sniff Laura smiled cheerfully and took a big bite. A loud squishing and gnashing noise echoed in Andrew's ears.
"Aw, what the...? Mother...blech!" He retched, that was probably the most disgusting thing he'd ever seen.
"Yummy!" Laura shouted before taking another bite, she was chewing away happily when she looked over at Andrew.
"Do you want a bite? You must be hungry too..." She offered, not realizing a piece of flesh was hanging from the side of her mouth.
"You...you got a little...oh boy...!" He replied after looking back at her, but began holding his own stomach.
"C'mon, it's actually kind of good!"
"H-how are you eating that? Did you absorb a ghoul soul?"
"A few actually. Now c'mon, open up and say 'Ah!'"
"No freakin way!"
"Aww, don't be such a wimp...! Stop squirming!"
While the two scuffled the note on souls they had fell to the side, opening to a certain page.
"Ghoul soul: This soul grants the user the ability to stomach foods that normally would be impossible to keep down as well as foods that would not even be considered by regular standards. Use only in emergencies." It read. Echoes of Andrew's pained screaming and Laura's teasing could be heard throughout the catacombs, all because of a bit of an appetite.
