[The First Random Grocery Store Nitou Found]
As though it weren't bad enough that Nitou had been taken from home and stripped of his powers and told he was going to fight in some crazy deathmatch-thing, he'd then been put in the District 5 apartments...which weren't too bad as far as apartments went, but the kitchens were sorely lacking. There was no mayonnaise. Nitou might have been even angrier with his hosts had they not so thoughtfully provided him with a credit card, and he wasted no time in making a few purchases. The first was a red wagon. The second was enough mayonnaise to fill that red wagon. The people in the store couldn't help but stare at him as he cheerfully filled the wagon with bottle after bottle, and even here in the Capitol, he attracted more than a few stares as he strode down the street pulling said wagon.

[The First Random Park Nitou Found]
Once Nitou had the mayonnaise in his possession, he decided that he didn't want to go back to the apartments. Why should he? He had mayonnaise and a credit card. And at the sight of the park he was walking his mayonnaise by, his ~~hobo~~ adventurer instincts kicked in.

Not long after that, Nitou could be found pitching a tent in the middle of the park underneath a few trees. He hadn't bothered to consider that this sort of thing just might be looked down upon by the people of the Capitol to a disastrous degree. He was quite used to being run off as a vagrant, and the idea that this could be really dangerous had completely failed to cross his mind. He also had a small barbecue pit and package of weiners nearby; he was clearly planning on having a proper hobo cookout once he had everything set up.

Gary picks up one of the many bottles of mayo Nitou has gathered and shuffles it between his hands (after stuffing the rest of his hotdog in his mouth to free the other). "I'll take your word for it," he calls, voice muffled. Gary takes a moment to clear his palate. "So, like...what if they fed the chickens that made eggs for mayonnaise a bunch of vitamins and shit? You think that would work?"

"You know, I never thought about it that way..." Nitou pauses to take another bite of his hot dog and consider this. "It just might!" Clearly, someone somewhere needs to do science in order to confirm or deny this.

Premier biological scientists, these two. Gary's dedication to the theory is evidenced in how he almost immediately forgets about the practical applications in favor of a stupid dare instead.

"Even if they did, you'd still be eating straight mayo for every meal." A thin, wicked smile splits Gary's face as he skewers another hotdog for the bonfire. "I know you like mayo, but I bet you don't like it that much. You'd get sick of it in a month!"

"Are you kidding me? I'm pretty much eating mayo for every meal as it is!" Nitou grins. "You find me somewhere that's got vitamin-laced mayo, and I'd eat it!"

Gary doesn't know how he's going to take advantage of this information just yet, but he does know that he wants to make a bet out of it. "Only mayo," he says, brow raised in challenge. "For a whole month, three times a day."

"Only three times a day?!" Yes, Nitou, that's the part that's worth getting worked up about. "Who even survives eating only three times a day?!"

Gary has to think about this for a little bit.

"I guess if the meals are big enough..." Hmm. He scratches his chin, skewering another hotdog for the fire. Clearly Nitou is more anxious about the amount he's allowed to eat, so this should be included in the challenge! Gary smirks. "...Yeah! Only three times a day. No snacks."

"Who can survive on eating only three times a day?!" Nitou has a very strange relationship with food. And it is mostly gluttonous.

"Oh, I dunno." Gary idly inspects his nails. "Normal people. People who aren't too chicken to back down from a bet. Those guys!" He passes an expectant glance under his brow. "You're one of those guys, aren't you mister Nitou?"

"I need a lot of food to function, man!" Come on. Come on. Even at the height of his hobodom, he'd always made sure to have enough to eat one way or another. "Even with Chimera not there, I gotta eat!"

Gary has no idea what Chimera is. Some kind of pet? He'll go with that. "Then you'll just have to eat more at once!" he suggests with a confident nod. "Come on. It's not that hard!"

"But I get really hungry all the time," Nitou whines, "even with eating a whole lot at once!"

"Well that's the point, silly!" Gary playfully narrows his eyes. "It's a dare, it's supposed to be hard! You're not gonna back down, are ya?"

"Of course I'm not going to back down!" Nitou huffs in indignation.

Granted, he's not even going to last two days, but still. He's got his pride.

"Then it's settled!" Gary stuffs another hotdog in his mouth and folds his arms, looking quite pleased with himself. "One month, nothing but mayo, three times a day. I bet you twenty Assi that you won't last."

"Alright, then! It's a bet!" A bet that Nitou is absolutely certain to lose in a fit of whining two days later.

Gary grins and extends his hand, so the deal can be properly sealed. "Looking forward to being twenty Assi richer!" Especially since he has zero Assi to speak of. This is a good bet.

"Hah!" Nitou took that handshake. "You wish!"

No, Gary was going to be twenty Assi richer once Nitou was done here. This whole diet thing wouldn't last long at all.
