The Taste of Peaches (Worm AU)

Reader mode
We find a group of girls whispering quietly over an object sitting on a table in front of them ignoring the world around them.

Into this scene Inari unnoticed by all walks up and jumps on the table next to the device.

Inari: Oh, who found the multi-tool?

A muttering of surprised comments run around the table before someone asks what she ment by multi-tool.

Inari: It's a combination cutting tool, wrench and screw driver. It's gentle enough to work on fine electronic parts, yet hard enough to screw things into wood.

There were some surprised noises coming from around the table.

Inari: Really, what did you think it was?

After a few looks around the table at each other, and some blushing it came out that they had thought it to be a rather adult toy.

Inari looks at them rather befuddled, and after moment shakes her head. With a quietly muttered teenagers she once again addresses the group.

Inari: Why would you attempt to use a bladed device for something like that? Are you looking to lose a limb, or accidentally kill yourself or someone else?

Inari then jumps off the table and walks away while shaking her head and snickering to herself.

And that is how my mark IV handheld food processor became known as a multi-tool.

A note, on the "dildosaber" thing? It's magic. Why would a Magic Sword cut the Owner of it, or their loved ones? Also, a insightful post above. Its not just a toy or a weapon. It has other, more primary purposes. Such as a muscle knot relaxer. Yes, its the Divine Version of a Hitachi. Its just... smaller und able to fit other places However, its primary use, isn't even as a toy, or muscle relaxer at all, but the equivilent of a Star Wars Holdout Blaster for women in Risky Jobs. Meaning its a lot more deadly than its size, or looks imply. It just has fairly impressive safety features. Are they attached to Sophia at the moment? Couldn't say. But they Can, attach to her, because she's now a Magical Species.

Actually, chocolate is toxic to anything that eats it.

Humans can handle it because we have enough body mass to make its effect negligible.

So Sophia can, in fact, still eat chocolate.

it is not equal.
human and pig have an ability to deal with most toxins (especially things like caffeine, theobromin,chlorine, alcohol...) way above most animals, followed by rats.
conversely, insect are very fragile, even accounting for mass, and bacteria even more.

As a rule omnivore and saprophyte have higher tolerance (per unit of body mass) than generalist herbivore, themselves higher than generalist carnivore, higher than specialist herbivore or carnivores.
and even with this taken into account, pig and human are above expectation.

So if sophi reaction to chocolate is similar to Taylor reaction to chlorine in being treated like her animal half, then chocolate is now forbidden
 
Large portions of what we consider flavor is basically the tastes of naturally occurring pesticides, herbicides, and fuglecides. We just don't get bothered by them and some of them are actually nutrients that we break down and need.

I seem to remember that cats have effectively no alcohol tolerance, she might not be able to drink her god drink anymore. Though as it is divine, it might just work somehow.

She's going to be able to eat more chocolate than she is grapes though, there is some tolerance for chocolate. Really, the reason chocolate is restricted from pets is because they aren't smart enough to know when they've had what they can handle, not because they can't handle any at all.

Actually, Sophia can handle the divine wine just fine. Rhyme totally not intended.

The burn was nice and she closed her eyes as the feeling of mellowness settled over her… though oddly it didn't feel like it had mellowed her all that much. Not that she wasn't feeling mellow, but more… More like she hadn't needed it as much. Odd… Then again, she'd had three right before bed. There was probably still some in her system. She phased the cork back into place and slipped the bottle behind the low bookshelf.

Going by size she's probably fine with onions but they might make her nauseous and lethargic. She probably won't die though, not without eating multiple whole onions at least.
 
Onions are also an integral part of Mongolian Beef & Onions... Mmmmm....

While I don't make it with a lot of onions (just one), a couple of versions I've had in restaurants had as much onion as the was beef. And Garlic.

Garlic may also be poisonness to her. Really all alliums.

If onions are out, then garlic absolutely is, it's more dangerous to cats than onion.

Though Sophia's transformation is different from Taylor's, so maybe she doesn't have those issues.
Also, Taylor isn't poisoned by chlorine, it makes her high, I don't think we've seen something she couldn't handle, if she had to, no new allergies or diet restrictions.
 
Taylor getting high on chlorine was Rule of Funny. Somehow I doubt the Goddess is more susceptible to poisons now than she was as a mortal. (Mostly) immune seems more likely. Also her dietary habits and preferences didn't change except for the bigger appetite, so I think she would have noticed.

Vicky, similarly, is a demigoddess. I doubt she changed what she ate, either.

Sophia is magic now, but probably does not have any divine advantage. Insufficient information for an informed prediction.

"The local Youth Guard don't even want the Wards to look at a stun gun let alone use one," she scoffed, "They can complain all they wish. There are no other options at this time." It was ridiculous. She couldn't even arm the Wards appropriately compared to other departments due to the obsessive nature of the local Youth Guard. Some Wards managed to get away with driving literal armoured vehicles in other cities. Here? If someone so much as suggested a stun gun for Vista the Youth Guard would fill her inbox with a solid foot of paperwork

I hope that at some point the PRT remembers to inform Taylor about the trident that's locked up in Armsmaster's lab. That seems like exactly the tool she needs to handle the current problems... and technically it belongs to her.

Considering the above can they give her the trident without the youth guard making a whole lot of trouble?

Leviathan wandering in would certainly make this easier, especially since she has domain powers involving water.

Edit
Granted, this is early enough that he's probably going to be somewhere else, I forget exactly how far ahead of canon we are, but I know we are.
But she's most likely going to have the trident come to her at a stressful point, and Armsmaster will have to deal with holes in his secure facilities.

the critter that merged with Sophia may have looked vaguely cat-like, but that does not mean it was a cat, with a cat's allergies/issues. It was a magical creature.
