Taylor is also somewhat hesitant in terms of going to the PRT because she does kind of blame them for her dad being gone in the first place, but yes it would. We shall see

Aren't the prt far away and getting their like this would be really hard.
[X] I needed to go out. Distract myself, maybe buy something with what little money I did have and then I had no idea. But they would be home soon and I didn't think I could make it back in time.
Cheap high calorie food is really easy to buy.
If that doesn't work she can just head to her former house and start trying stuff out to eat.
Edit:Infact eating at our family home lets us have an excuse of were we are to lacey and kurt

She could take the bus but it would take a while and a mask would need to be/should probably be acquired first,she can do both of these things, but at the moment she needs a lot of food, so she'd need some kind of income soon.

[x] Get a ski mask or a scarf and a hoodie. you are going to the PRT and they should be able to feed you. Say its for power testing.
-[x] Demonstrate your strength to start with, but stress your need for food and that it might be dangerous if not dealt with promptly
I agree with this.

[q] Try to eat the wood. Just a little. You are parahuman, after all. If you can bent steel, maybe you can digest the wood?

I throw my lot in with the go out and distract yourself option as the tiebreaker

I had another thought. Another Idea. If I just grabbed an old hoodie and a scarf, I should be fine, it was fall and I wouldn't even stick out. I just wasn't sure how the PRT handled people asking for power testing or help, but after what they had done to Dad… No. I wasn't that desperate. I had some pocket money saved up, I could do this. I just had to take the bus and I could get myself something to eat, it might have to end up being whatever was cheapest, but I couldn't afford anything else. And if it didn't work, I could still go there anyway.
So I wrote a note. I'd gone for a out to think and would be back around noon or early afternoon. I wouldn't even be lying, not really. I was thinking of a way out of my problem, wasn't I?
It still didn't feel right, but it was better than trying to bite a table and telling myself I was going out to get food was at least helping a little.
I didn't have a lot of money, but I still got out thirty five dollars I would never get back. Didn't matter if I knew it wasn't sustainable, I was so hungry, I just didn't care. And maybe I would start feeling better after I'd eaten enough. Maybe it was just something to do with getting my powers. I had no idea how any of that was supposed to work. I didn't even know what to do with what I had now, but I refused to make Kurt and Lacey's situation even worse, so I went out.
Grabbed a hoodie despite not feeling particularly cold, a scarf maybe because some part of me thought someone might actually help me still and left, walking, jogging and then running down the street until my lungs were starting to sting as if to balance out the gnawing hole in my stomach.
There was no way I would have made it all the way to the store without collapsing before but now… The burn or maybe sting stopped less than a minute after I stopped running and it never got bad enough to actually make me stop in the first place. It was just… there. And I promptly got even hungrier. I almost doubled over holding onto my nonexistent stomach, but there I was and promising myself food helped. Even if it was just a cornerstore, maybe a little bigger than the usual fare but not by much.
I was so glad my hood was up and my scar covered at least part of my face, because I had to look drunk half stumbling inside. Or maybe high, because I was reading every label I could find on everything I as much as suspected was cheap and had as many calories per dollar as I could get. I didn't even care what it was or what it would taste like, I couldn't be picky right now. Instant noodles, milk, cream, beans, chips, anything.
Which was how I ended up spending everything I'd taken with me on peanut butter and grabbing a cheap plastic spoon, because the big glasses had been almost expired and on offer and I at least thought they wouldn't be too terrible for me. Even if I had absolutely no idea whether I still needed to worry about that, I was just so hungry…
Not to mention absolutely certain they wouldn't go bad on me.
The cashier must have thought I was very high and possibly a merchant, but he gave me what I wanted and I was beyond caring. I might dimly wonder what mom or Dad would have thought about me sitting in an alley behind a dumpster eating peanut butter by the spoonful, but it was food. Oily, sweet, sticky and utterly delicious food. Right that moment, it was the best thing I had ever eaten and I didn't even feel ashamed for eating the head of the spoon too and digging in with my hand instead. Crunchy, delicious spoon went surprisingly well with smooth peanut butter and I'm pretty sure I ate the rest of it too, before I could even consider the consequences of eating all of that plastic.
I just hoped my new powers would somehow take care of that. I felt mostly satisfied for the first time ever since I'd woken up in the hospital, warmer… I could think. Really think without having to keep worrying about my stomach or being distracted. But somehow, despite everything, I still had room for more.
What the hell was my body doing with all of that? Did I accidentally become bigger on the inside or something? Because I was sure I should have looked pregnant by now, but my stomach looked exactly the same way it always did and while I might feel fuller, I was pretty sure none of my other parts had grown either. I was still licking my hand clean as best as I could, but more worryingly, those glasses on the floor started looking like a perfect way to actually make myself full and giving myself some extra time before I had to go shopping again. And considering that I had somehow bitten through a plastic spoon without even noticing until I'd seen the handle missing its attachment, I couldn't even be sure it wouldn't work.
And I couldn't be sure those plastic bags weren't somehow perfectly edible to me either. Would it even matter if I accidentally poisoned myself? I would have said Dad would care but…
Dad wasn't around anymore. Mom wouldn't have wanted me to, but Mom wasn't here either.
Social services would just put me somewhere, maybe with Emma, who either told me she had left me behind and pushed me away or ignored me altogether or somewhere else entirely. Kurt and Lacey might let me stay, but even if they did. If I went back to school… Dad's name had been on the news. I was the daughter of a Supervillain. I looked back over at the empty glasses again.
Why? Why did I even bother?
Kurt and Lacey would just have even more bills to pay. I would be doing everyone a favour if I just disappeared, wouldn't I?
Wouldn't I?
Why was I trying so hard just to live? Just to feel better, what was even the point? Why couldn't I just give up? Why was some part of me just rejecting everything to do with it out of hand. I didn't know why. I didn't know anything I could do or anyone who would miss me, but I was alive. I had powers.
I didn't know what they were, I didn't know how powers worked. Dad was gone, Mom was gone, but if I couldn't make myself give up, I had to do something else.
And of that I would need information.
Though… My eyes fell on the empty jars again.
[ ] I might as well at least try it. If it worked, I would eat until I was full and then take the rest with me.
[ ] No glass splinters in my mouth. Not even if I could heal, that was a terrible Idea. I'd just stuff them into the dumpster and move on.
And I had to figure out what to do now.
[ ] I should talk to Kurt and Lacey, figure out what the current situation is and…
- [ ] tell them about my powers and food problem – I still had that sink to explain too.
- [ ] don't tell them about my powers and come up with some kind of excuse. I would feel guilty but I had absolutely no idea how they would react.
[ ] I might have written I would be back soon, but I could figure out some sort of excuse and go to the library instead. It didn't feel right at all, but I also didn't want to have to explain the sink. I had no idea what would happen if I told them.

Kurt and Lacey should have an idea of how she can make some money to supplement her food problem, and I kind of doubt they are going to tell her to to go the prt.

pretty sure if we do eat it we will get less humanity, and their are much safer options to choose from then glass bottles.
