tough room....

This thread is doing a good job of defining those that do and don't have:

*an understanding of what is and isn't real, thus a good grasp of what exists and is allowed IG vs OOG
*an understanding of analogous existences in parallel realities
*an imaginaion

Everyone please take a deep breath. If you feel the urgent and irrestable need to post some mean personal remarks or non-substantive reply to the original post, please just PM it to me.

Holy crap...

[rose]

Did anyone miss my request to please calm down here? This attacking each other is getting old - how about trying to communicate respectfully without personal attacks?

Ah thanks, mercurix. I was a little slow with the posting here.

woo rose is back... i thought we lost you to other sub-forums. i felt all neglected and everything.

good to have you back

[HerOdyssey]

I am agreeing wholeheartedly with Rose. It is ridiculous that people get so worked up and angry over something like this. Please don't take it so seriously (and personally). Yipes.

[rose]

Heh, you didn't lose me. I had a bunch of things come up that interfered with me being around very much. But I'm here now until the premiere and afterwards.

The conclusions reached when previously discussed were that kaitei no mitsu couldn't be hazardous or the FDA would block it's sale in the US. Please note that food ingredients don't quite experience the same 'approval' situation as drugs - in fact many substances are marketed as 'dietary supplements' to avoid dealing with FDA approval. The fact that there's no deleterious effects reported in Japan also tends to suggest that kaitei no mitsu is not toxic or hazardous unto itself.

Another key idea is that kaitei no mitsu is more like a pheromone and that it might tend to attract the monster. Keep in mind that such substances need not originate from the species they attract. It doesn't even have to be a food source for the monster to be attracted, just as long as the monster associates it with it's core needs as a living thing (basically nourishment and reproduction).

I get the impression that kaitei no mitsu is fairly potent, and that only a small amount is normally used in Slusho or other foods. Considering the size of the package Jamie got that is almost assuredly kaitei no mitsu, and that she probably ends up tossing it, that massive amount of it may be a huge attractant to the monster. I'm also still inclined to think that the drilling operation at Chuai disrupted the monster from where it was dormant (and likely in more of a 'trapped' state) and that when the currents in the next couple of weeks carry that plume of kaitei no mitsu that Jamie probably flushed reaches Grumpypants, he's going to follow it back - and give us a show.
