Butterfly Butter and Volcanic Jam

~Butterfly Butter is the pure and natural essence of butterflies that live in untainted flower fields~

Taking a bite into the piece of toast slathered in Butterfly Butter, Silvia was immediately rewarded with a delicate and light sensation that spread throughout the mouth, with each bite she seemed to be embraced by the rich sensation of a flowery perfume and could imagine with greater and greater clarity a field of flowers. By the time she had reached her last bite of toast, it seemed as if she was dancing in the field amongst butterflies and any pent-up stress anxiety or anger from the previous few days had been washed away. It was truly an eye-opening experience, and she couldn't help but imagine what a thousand point or million-point butter would be like if so much could be derived from a 100 point serving.

~+.1 Charisma for consuming Butterfly Butter. ~

"Hmm, it seems like there are some rewards for consuming food"

With this knowledge in mind, she could not help but look forward to the 500-point jam she had bought with the description

~Volcanic Jam is the result of Veriyn Berries, an odd variety of fruit that grows halfway down the craters of active volcanos, bearing fruit only once a decade, the Veriyn berries bear a variety of natural benefits~

Taking a bite, the first thing Silvia noticed was a delicate coolness that spread from the tip of her tongue throughout the rest of her body, that was then followed by a wave of relaxation. The jam itself was soft and somewhat delicate in texture crumbling at the touch of the tongue, while at the same time holding a somewhat firm consistency, holding its shape until she bit into it. From there, there were light fruity notes offset by a mellow richness that could only be attributed to time. It almost felt as if Silvia was sampling not a jam, but rather a fine wine that had only become finer with the vicissitude of turmoil. The second bite resulted in an almost entirely different sensation, replacing the prior coolness with a warm and aggressive stream of energy that revitalized and energized Silvia. By the time she had finished the piece of toast, she couldn't help but be stuck in the moment, savoring and attempting to memorize each fine detail that she had just experienced.

~Subject has consumed two meals categorized under -Breakfast- in a row, and is hence not rewarded with the 'A Healthy Diet' renewing reward~

"Well, I suppose that's enough of a snack, back to work? Gaming? Living? Something…"
