A group of friends negotiate where to go out for food.

~&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The badger's stomach grumbled loudly as she looked up from her phone. "Okay. So, I don't see anything that's obviously great for all of us, so I'll start listing the places that might work?", tapping at her screen a bit, "Say something if there's a problem with a place."  
~&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The badger's social circle nodded with strained patience, the ritual as familiar as it was frustrating. The badger began her list, with the first reply provoked almost immediately.  
~&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "I think that place only really serves food that's, like, spicy for birds to even eat.", concerned the coyote.  
~&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The litany ticked another notch.  
~&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Synth of the group admitted, "I don't think that place serves mineral wafers; I'd have nothing to eat..."  
~&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The slog resumed.  
~&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The rabbit coughed politely and simply glared at the badger's mention of a steakhouse.  
~&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The last entry.  
~&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Silence.  
~&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Each having had their turn, the entire group looked to the basilisk as though expecting some protest.  
~&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The basilisk raised his hands, "Hey. My grandma's recipes talk about what tread of tire to burn for cooking over. I'm okay with anything."
