Oh - well, sure.

[Michael sounds a little off-guard, like he hadn't really expected that.]

But I don't need to eat as often as a regular human. It doesn't really seem fair for me to dip into the communal stock.

[postictal]

If you're trying to cook fish and eating them raw half the time, it's really not a problem if you wanna eat here sometimes.

...unless you need water or something today. Then you're probably outta luck.

[eudaimonikos]

My problem's usually in the other direction. I'm used to burning things!

[ha ha ha gotta love that torture humor]

You all can't just not drink forever. How long do you last?

[postictal]

[Yeah, that's not an alarming thing to say or anything.]

...all right, sure. And I dunno. If we're lucky, someone saved some of that edible weedkiller.

[eudaimonikos]

Edible weedkiller?

[postictal]

Uh, yeah. There was this stuff on the island that the whole flower sickness thing is from. The people made this drinkable weedkiller. Herbicide, I guess. It was supposed to help.

[eudaimonikos]

[.......]

So, medicine.

[postictal]

Kinda. I mean, it hurt, so it definitely wasn't good for you.

The point is that it wasn't water. It was just...liquid.

[eudaimonikos]

...okay, this might seem like a stretch, but hear me out:

Blood.

[postictal]

...gonna have to explain that one.

[eudaimonikos]

Just drink some blood if you get thirsty! It's everywhere!

[postictal]

[...]

We're not vampires.

[Probably.]

[eudaimonikos]

There's water in it! C'mon, you eat meat anyway - I've never understood what the difference is.

[postictal]

I'm not a doctor, but I'm pretty sure drinking blood is...not really sanitary. I'm not gonna drink blood. I don't know anyone else who's gonna drink blood.

[eudaimonikos]

Your loss, man.

[don't ask]

[postictal]

[HM.]

...please don't drink blood.

[eudaimonikos]

I haven't since I got here!

[postictal]

Maybe continue not doing that, unless you want people assuming that you're a vampire.

[eudaimonikos]

It was never my favorite. Very basic. People always just assume I'm human, anyway.

[postictal]

Well, you look it.

[...uh.] Are you saying you've pretended to in the past?

[eudaimonikos]

No - well, that's not true. I did when I was on Earth. But that wasn't really a full false identity, just the normal assumption everyone makes when you go out in public.

[Technically, he never outright SAID "I am a human person"!]

I did spend a while pretending to be an angel.

[postictal]

Huh.

[Well, Tim probably made that same general assumption. He doesn't remember who he knows to be human and who isn't anymore.]

You should...probably not do that here.

[eudaimonikos]

I don't do it anymore!

[He sounds like, at least 60% more offended than he really has a right to be, and he kinda knows it.]

Pretty much everybody here knows what I am! That was just a...weird three-hundred year thing.

[postictal]

Look, I'm just putting it out there 'cause I'm pretty sure most people here can sense that kinda thing.

[eudaimonikos]

Yeah, this place is crawling with demons. And Aziraphale, I guess.

[Are there other angels? He's pretty sure there aren't.]

The point is, it's not like I have to pretend to be anything here. You can just walk around as a demon, and it's fine!
