[QUOTE="Tun Kai Poh, post: 8441510, member: 6761960"] I was running FOOD OF THE GODS by Justin Ford, the introductory scenario included in CTHULHU DEEP GREEN, a terrific investigative conspiracy horror ttrpg based on Cthulhu Dark. It's kind of a "Delta Green with the serial numbers filed off." [SPOILER="Food of the Gods"]The investigators were trying to track down a missing member of their conspiracy who had vanished after looking into a local chef and her unusual recipes. After an encounter with the monstrous chef, our agents failed to apprehend the suspect but recovered a small food tin with the label AMBROSIA: CARCOSA CANNING 1924. In true player character fashion, Tahani Rho, the auditor, had to taste it. As per safety protocols, they rented a ghost kitchen and locked all the exits. Eleanor Harper the army medic was on overwatch duty, while Kim Ross the baker with ghost experience was guarding the door. Tahani turned on the cameraphone, henceforth referred to as "the mukbang camera," and began the recording with narration as she opened the tin. It reeked of honey and fish and just thinking of eating it was mouth-watering. Ambrosia, you see, is a golden caviar-like substance harvested from Lake Hali, beside distant Carcosa, home of the King in Yellow, and whoever consumes it will find the order of nature overturned. Predator becomes prey. Everything, down to the smallest creatures, will instinctively want to eat the imbiber of the ambrosia. Tahani lifted a spoon with a single pearl and tasted it. It was overpowering and heavenly. And suddenly everyone in the room had to resist the urge to devour her. For Kim, Tahani was fragrant bread. Eleanor watched as Kim jumped Tahani and started biting her arm with great gusto. Eleanor applied a police baton to crowbar the two apart and tried to knock Kim back. While she was doing that, half a dozen cockroaches flew onto Tahani and tried to eat her. Her gut twisted. The gut fauna rose up in rebellion against the order of nature and began eating her intestinal lining. Tahani, thinking fast, grabbed an insect spray and blasted her own body to repel the roaches. The moment she was free of them, she threw the ambrosia into the freezer. Then she gave the roaches one more drenching with the bug spray. Seeing Kim down and Eleanor still in control of her higher faculties, Tahani ran to the emergency shower to drown herself in water and soap, ridding herself of the smell and ending the war in her gut. Only then, miserable as a soaked cat, her clothes and hijab absolutely ruined, did she stalk over to turn off the cameraphone. Worst mukbang video ever.
