Their little 'date' had been decided, but Needle had insisted on walking. Muka had done enough for her already she argued, and that meant no more special treatment, at least for a little bit. However due to her general lack of sight it was up to the Strix to guide her there anyway, which was just another tick on her Muka is too nice to her list. That wasn't to say she didn't enjoy it, but she merely wished there was a way to repay him outside of getting the bill for dinner.
The place he had suggested with some sort of buffet. The Giant glowing letters calling it Dead Prince Buffet was bright enough for even her weak eyes to see, and it was a nice little beacon in the distance for the both of them, especially for Needle, who could now be the one to lead him somewhere.
"Ready to get out-eaten by a ghost?" Needle asked softly, tilting her head to look up at him with an unmistakable grin on her lips shortly after they were seated.

"We shall see." Ulmuka giggled and seemed extra excited about the prospect of gorging himself. "You talk a big game, Miss Needle!"
The buffet was standard fare but they seemed to be looking for quantity more than quality. Thankfully there didn't seem to be anyone else there. Most were in school or work and even the waiters and waitresses seemed bored.
"What would you like to start with? We should.. hmm.. pick one thing and perhaps time ourselves? Or just keep eating the same things until the other folds?" Muka giggled, talons drumming excitedly on he table.

"Muka, just call me 'Needle', please...?" She asked sweetly enough. He had wanted her to call him just 'Muka', which was pretty intimate, and thus it was only fair for him to be allowed to drop the formalities for her as well. But as the conversation drifted towards how they would handle this, she distracted herself with it, pondering.
"Hmm...Terror Warrior had several rounds, each round consisting of a different type of food, and the total amount eaten was tallied." Or she imagined it would be, if most of the contestants hadn't run to go puke from being so full. "Perhaps we could play like that? Get the lovely staff here to help keep the current item coming?" That way, they didn't have to pause until they were out on that particular food type.
"How does that sound?"

"Alright Needle." The strix acquiesced, bowing his head with a smile. "You at least have experience with this. That sounds like a good plan!"
When the waitress brought chilled drinks for them he bobbled with excitment. "Miss, excuse me we are about to embark on a bit of an eating competition. Is there any way you could simply... keep the food coming, as they say?"
The waitress was a rail thin ghost, uniform hanging from her emaciated body. She appeared to be unsure, since it wasn't exactly policy, but since no one else was in the restaurant...
It was only moments before several of the wait staff were in on it. The competition would at least be exciting and they were starting to make bets.
Placed in front of Muka and Needle were large silver trays filled with some sort of strange noodle. Or worm. You couldn't really tell but it smelled delicious!
"Mmmmm..." He head to lean in verrrrry close to smell it. His sense of smell the weakest, almost nonexistent, sense.

Needle seemed pleased when he called her by name and dropped the formalities, and sat quietly as he flagged down a worker to enlist their help. As the food was placed in front of them, Needle didn't need to lean in to smell it; it smelled delicious, and completely new to her. Whatever it was, at least, would prove to be interesting.
It was the same emaciated ghost that held up her skelephone, apparently using a built-in countdown function. "And---go!" She announced, the timer on her phone going off with an audible click.
The Engraver was quick to try and chow down on whatever this was; noodles or worms she couldn't tell, but it was certainly wiggly enough to go either way. Whatever it was, it didn't seem to agree too well with her as she more she ate, the harder it became to actually get it down.

Muka had been hungry lately.
Very hungry.
The strix didn't even look up at Needle once they got started. He didn't look up until he saw the silver bottom of the container.
He ate it ALL.

There was a really odd silence as the Strix finally stopped eating.
Not even Needle could think of something to say at first, so thrown off guard was she by the noises he made while he ate. Those had been...rather impressive sounds, actually. She hadn't heard that level of violence against food in...ever. Violence wasn't quite the word for it, but it was the first one to spring to Needle's mind, and it was a good word for her. She liked that word.
"I---" The Emaciated ghost was the first to break the silence but like everyone else in the room never took her sunken eyes off of Muka. "--Believe the gentleman wins this round~"
"Yes, I believe he does." Needle agreed softly, inky fingers raising to try and muffle the light giggle on her lips. She didn't know how much he ate, but she did recognize that his bowl was no where near as ample as it had been; the noises alone were enough to give up any hope for winning that round. "The next round, please?" She inquired, still eager to get this under way. At the very least, Muka would be well fed.
Moments later the noodle-worms were cleared, replaced by heaping plates of breaded balls; their filling was unknown, but each was about two inches in diameter.

Muka simply giggled when they all gaped him.
"Delicious! And good show, M- Needle." He almost called her Miss.
When the breaded balls were placed in front of him and GO! was called, he threw himself into them. They didn't go down as smoothly as the noodle dish had. These he had to bite and chew and that took quite a bit from his usual eating form.
By the time the timer was going off, he'd resorting to tilting his head back and attempting to grossly swallow them whole.

Needle heard the call for go and certainly did start to eat, however as her noisy partner continued to gulp down his food, she found herself distracted. Especially when he started eating them whole; she could tell by the sudden lack of chewing, and the occasional scratch of talon on plate as the time became more and more constrained. It was distracting, how fascinated she was by him and his eating habits. It made her interest in food waiver.
"You are quite the opponent, Muka." Needle giggled as the end of the round was called and their plates cleared, the win once more going to the Strix at her side.

"I have been.." He licked his fingers, teeth parting and tongue graphically slathering them because the concept of sucking was lost when you weren't fully aware of lips. "very hungry lately."
The wait staff looked almost horrified when the strix just licked and licked his talons like an animal.
"Winner... again." One of them snapped out of it to bring a tray of vegetables. Well they were green at least, and leafy, but amid the pile of (what looked like) leaves there were occasional trembles and movement.
"Salad course.." Muka giggled.

"I can tell." Needle was thankful for her mask, as she was being very un-Engraver like at the moment. Her eyes were wide and brimming with interest, staring through the dark fabric to Muka's form; from where she was sitting she could make out his talons and the way he licked them over and over, reminescent of a predator cleaning itself after taking down a very bloody meal.
It was fascinating. She couldn't help but stare.
The new course was put in front of them and she did take a moment to look down at it, suddenly remembering why she was there. She wasn't there to gawk at her new predator friend, she was there to have an eating contest! Right, yes. Needle, get your head in the game! Don't let this boil knock you off your guard!
The other ghoul announced go once more, and this time Needle put in actual effort to eat what was in front of her; the leafy parts weren't so bad, it was trying to pin down the lively ones that gave her a hard time.

Ulmuka grinned and giggled again. It was almost innocent, as if he truly weren't intending on being the winner.
When GO was sounded he didn't both with hands. The strix leaned lifted his butt an inch or two off the seat, craned his long neck, and began pecking into the container face first.
It was especially effective at catching the things that were moving. He had to toss his head back, gulping them down as they struggled in his gullet. Owl's didn't usually chew as a rule.
When the timer finally went off he'd only a little bit of food left.
The strix paused, pulled out a silken handkerchief, and dabbed the corners of his grinning mouth.

Muka was once more the winner, and the Engraver could hear the whispers of the workers; she was losing bad, and she knew it. But she was still going to try, she wasn't out yet!
"I believe the current jargon for this is..." Needle paused, brushing her inky fingers against her lips in thought, forming the words in her head first just to make sure they were correct. "You are kicking my a**." It sounded right, and it was ended with a tiny, amused giggle. The breathy sort that was more her trying to hold it back than let it out.
"But I am not done, if you are not!" She made a move as if rolling up sleeves - or at least tried, as her needles got in the way. The servers of course brought out the next meal.
Sushi. Sushi so fresh parts of it still crawled.

Muka giggled profusely at her language. He never spoke like that. To hear a lady say it struck him as funny. Especially since she seemed just as unused to cussing as he was.
"Perhaps I am getting full?" He clucked happily. "Or perhaps not!" The owl-boild tainted her playfully.
The wriggling sushi recieved a similar treatment to every other dish. Lots of chomping, gross swallowing, and bit of food flying around in a few inch vicinity of himself.

His laughter was infectious and it drew her hesitant chuckle out as well, making her laugh along with him, however never meeting his level of mirth. It just wasn't allowed, but she could always pretend. It was certainly awkward to use that language, but at the same time it was fun; no wonder her classmates used it so often!
"We shall see~" She teased right back, wriggling her fingers in his direction. As they were allowed to go she dove in, having an easier time with the sushi for whatever reason. Still she was no match to Muka, and just as the buzzer was about to go off, she felt a piece of food debris hit her cheek. Confused, she stopped eating to wipe her face, running the piece between her fingers to determine what it was...
...And flicked it right back towards Muka. Innocently.
