If you were walking down the street and suddenly a large mechanical bird fell on top of you, What would you do?

Die.

Because that's what you normally do when a large metal mass travelling at a high velocity from a vertical trajectory collides with your body, almost instantaneously crushing all of your internal organs and turning your bone structure to dust.

Or I can pretend it never happened. That'd work.

yell at Kuger to stop throwing mechanical birds on top of people, because, knowing him, he's probably going to keeping doing this for the whole day until he finds something better to do the next day...

then i would probably die...

Answer: I would summon my large mechanical cat, and have it knock the large mechanical bird off of me. Then they would start this huge epic mechanical animal fight and I would sell tickets and become rich beyond my wildest dreams.

You mean this kind of metal bird?

An airplane?

Well, I suppose I'd be crushed under it and smushed into the sidewalk, my internal organs exploding and smearing bloody guts everywhere, and my bones snapping and snipping and snepping and snopping and snupping. And the remains of my body would become sucked into the engine and reduced to bloody mist.

Question: Why is it so hard to find a decent meal around here?

Answer: Well to start we aren't really humans, some kinda robots I guess, since we run on energy. Therefore meals are so hard to come by since nobody in our race seems to need food to survive. And other species, like monsters don't need food since they just feed on us and our energy as well as other monsters throughout the clockworks.

No subject line spam here, move along

It's hard to find any good food here because all the good food got taken by Alpha Squad for their expedition, along with a portable TV and a laptop. They're locked in the core with Boswick now, so we can't get to them. As we speak they are guzzling Pepsi cans, playing air guitar on top of the table, flipping choice fingers and watching The Expendables on HD Blu-Ray.

Vaelyn is just trying to open the Core because she accidentally left her bag of Cheetos Twisted Puffs with the stash and she wants it back. The rest of her team are in it because they were told that if it was recovered they would get part of it.

Strangers are robots and see no need to dispense quality consumables, claiming that they've already helped Knights enough.

"Why is it so hard to find a decent meal around here?"

For anyone who doesn't think Spiral Knights eat, please first consider the evidence I've compiled. I'm not saying Knights do eat (we still have no solid statements that say so), but there seem to be quite a few hints implying that they do.

Anyway, going under the assumption that Knights do eat, I offer the following answer:

It's so hard to find a decent meal around here because the Skylark's head chef Biscotti is so incompetent that when she tried to make cakes for the anniversary celebration, she created a horde of monsters. If the head chef can't bake a cake, there's no way you're going to find a decent meal around here, simple as that.

Why is it so hard to find a decent meal around here?

Reason No 1:
-Because nothing is edible noneother than the esteemed Snipe Roast with otherworldly seasonings.

Reason No 2:
-Because the queue is long.

Reason No 3:
-You have to buy it for a Monster Pet. And Pet Food is hard to come by in Cradle. I suppose Isora(i think its the planet where SK was once stated, like Kora says on First Contact) has many edible resources.

Assuming that robots eat food, this is my answer:

Vaelyn needed us to defeat Lord Vanaduke because she dropped her roast snipe pie into the core. Now they're trying to open it to get it back, or else Vaelyn threatens to fire everyone. Tsk tsk tsk...

Why is it so hard to find a decent meal around here?

1: Biscotti sucks at cooking. I mean, she created an entire new species of monsters when she tried to just make cake! Think about what would happen if she tried to make some real food.

2: The Strangers won't let us eat Snipes even though they're a highly rich source of protein! They want to keep them for themselves... :(

3: The food is guarded/dangerous. Jelly Gems are guarded by the Jelly King. Forbidden Fruit is hoarded by Devilites. Nightshade is poisonous. Blaze Pepper is kept by monsters everywhere. Wolver Steak is hazardous to get and tastes horrible anyway. Brinks owns the only supply of Rock Slat known to Knight-kind. NOT FAIR.

4: Because no one uses Heater Shields so we can't cook the food that we actually get, so people cook food over Fire Status Plates, which results in 34945239482573495723475th degree burns. Ouch.

Question: What caused Skylark to crash?

Answer: The Whooping Crane, a fellow ship of ours who's crew were all having a party and forgot to put the parking brake on, rammed into us, causing us to crash onto this place known a the Cradle. The dumb bastards having even noticed their mistake. Maybe one day they will finally notice that the Skylark is missing and rescue us from this monster infested planet.

What caused Skylark to crash?
(Your ideas on what landed us on this large mechanical rock)

1) Cradle is not a ROCK. It is a Core of concentrated energy surrounded by metallic structures constructed into complex mechanism big enough to count it as a planet Technically speaking then it is a METAL. The most logical reason for this is that the gremlins, who are technically the most technologically advanced natives to Cradle found the Core and constructed a means to contain it. They also deconstructed the planet's surface into millions of 'panels' before lowering them underground to what we now know as 'depths'. The general absence of soil in the 'hollow' of the planet itself is likely to be the cause of it being filtered into it's minerals, primarily metals, melted down and refined to create new structures.

2) As a planet-size, it cannot be classified as LARGE. On a planetary scale, Cradle would likely be relatively small. So Medium Small would be better fitting.

3) We did not LAND. As afore-mentioned, we CRASHED.

4) Data reports clearly state that while our scientists were scanning the surface, an unknown force suddenly pulled us towards the planet.

5) The reason for the unknown force has yet to be discovered. (Gee, I wonder why?)

6) Speculatively, the Core of the planet has enough energy to classify itself as a god-like being, and therefore have access to somewhat celestial abilities. Having been sealed by those it had trusted, presumably Tinkinzar, the Core was left to it's own devices. However, over time, a somewhat 'dark side' to the Core, the darkness to balance the Core's own light, manifested itself. The Core did not think much of the threat at first, the manifestation being too small to be noticed. However, the infection grew and spread quickly, forcing the Core to construct 'safe havens'. the Sancturary being one if not all of them. The Core now realized the threat the new development posed, the Swarm, after it had corrupted much of it's being, bygone Kings and the like, and that if it's corruption went unchecked, it could eventually gain the means and power to spread outside the planet whwere the Core could safely monitor it.

Presently, the Skylark appeared in it's orbit, and the Core, seeing the potential of our militant race, seized the opportunity to bring in help to combat the Swarm. It pulled us toward the planet and forced us to uncover the mysteries that beheld it's depths, until we discover the truth and rid the planet of it's corruption before it is too late.

Breaking the Cores seal would be a bonus.

7) That idiot pilot probably just crashed into the moon, the impact of our own trajectory and the moon's orbit throwing the ship off balance and sending us hurtling towards the planets surface. Al the techies are in on it too.

8) Why am I listing in numbers?

9) This is ridiculous, my story ended 2 numbers ago.

10) Seerusly, this isn't funny.

What caused Skylark to crash?

Deoxys was flying through space one day when Palkia decided to screw with him. Palkia sent him into the Spiral knights dimension right next to Skylark. Naturally, Deoxys panicked and decided to attack Skylark, thus crashing it into Cradle.

Because.....

The knights were too busy having a party on the Skylark after escaping from their original home. Their king there was way too greedy and stole everyone's Pop-tarts. They robbed the castle and took the food, and ran to the Skylark. Unfortunately, they were too dumb to realize that they were eating WAY too much, and they got fatter and fatter. They also didn't realize that the Skylark could only hold a maximum of 20 knights, and there was over 5 thousand. Fortunately, the Skylark is powered by Pop-tarts, but the knights' weight had caused to Skylark to.....
......drop....
......more dropping............
" SOMEBODY GET THE POP-TARTS!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"WE RAN OUT STUPID!!!!!!!!!"
"Hey, Mr. Narrator guy? Yeah, could you buy us som-
"NO!"
"The blueberry kin-"
"I said NO!"
........a little more dropping...........
.....some more dropping....

.....the last bit of dro-
CRASH!!!!!

I would...

To get rid of Nick, I would tell him that Biscotti is making up to the knights and is currently making the largest cake in the world. He would flee the scene, and abandon his army of 500 imposto cubes. I would tell the army that joining my forces would earn them some cake too, and they would go along with it.

Where should I start? There are so many things to do with these jellies...

1. Tell them to combine like the way lichens do, and try to overthrow the Jelly King by playing Slime, Undead, Construct (similar to Rock Paper Scissors).
Slime beats constuct, constuct beats undead, and undead beats slime.
"Slime, Undead, Construct says shoot!"

JK throws slime.
Huge Imposto cube throws undead.

JK: wrfoooojilrwkfj!!!!!!!!!!! (NOO!!!!!!!)

2. I would make them my slaves, and sell them for 50cr each.
Frightless shouts,"WTS 500 Imposto cubes for 50cr each!!! PM me!"

Kuger tells you, " I'll buy them all!!!"

3. I would make them combine, take it home, add Fire- Reisit and Shadow resist to it, and take it along with me to PWN FSC.

After the battle with Vana:

"I thought Undead was supposed to beat slimes!!!!!!!," Vana screams.
Imposto Cube" eswrdrswevgswzgv!!!!!!!!!! (Technically, your not undead. You're not anything, to be exact. But at one point, you were strong against elemental and weak to piercing. Wouldn't that make you a beast, or more specific, a WOLVER?"

"I hate wolvers!!!!!!! Didn't you hear me at the beginning of the fight??"

4. I would cook them into Jelly Gems, trick Brinks, buy as many Sealed Swords/Antiguas, unbind them, and make profit.

5. I would make them combine, and scare people into giving me their crowns.

Imposto King" w3efewasgfvwsae4gvesw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (GIMME ALL YOUR CROWNS!!!!!!!!!!)

Kuger: Sure!!!!! Anything!!!!! Please don't hurt me!!!!!!!!!!!

See how much fun I would have?

NOOOO
I get knocked over by the army, trampled by the jellies, but survive...

Answer: Getting off of Cradle, hasn't anyone been thinking about it? To my knowledge, nothing is being done to try to repair Skylark or to build a new ship to attempt to leave and go back to our homeland. So again escaping this planet seems like a knight's top priority if you ask me.
