What is their favorite island treat and why?
Favorite treat? Honestly, the list could go on. Ever since he was younger, Roe had always had a bit of a sweet tooth. He never ate large meals, prefering light foods and to snack on crackers, but he always had plenty of drawers and cabinets full of goodies to satisfy his cravings when they came around.
He liked the usual: fruity icecreams or frozen yogurts and sweet, airy cookies, but he always came back to the same thing. Even if he had all the money in the world (and he did, to a degree) the same cheap treat always sent him farther into sugary euphoria than anything else:
Bubblegum.
You ask him why he seems so intent on liking.. Bubblegum? There are so many treats in the world, concoctions of chocolate confections and cupcakes of creamy creative colors. Roe shrugs at you, but you can tell there's an answer there with the content way his shoulders sit relaxed and his facial expression morphed into something sweeter in itself. A sigh escapes him as he seems lost in thought for just the slightest slip of a second.
"I like the taste." He gives you a wink, but you have no idea what it means.

fernmoon | sharkbait | team octopi | 217 words
sharkbait made her way down towards the market for a quick snack. the island itself held a lot of possibilities for food, but there was just one thing that she wanted that hot day which really could only be found there. heading down the aisles of the market, she knew she was getting closer to what was her favorite treat on the island. when she got there, the freezer beckoned her to receive what was desired. the cold air came out quickly and hit her, causing sharkbait to shiver. pulling out the thing that she was there for, it was a tub of ice cream. she knew it would do perfectly on this hot day.
after receiving the ice cream, she sat down on the beach with a spoon in hand. each bite for sharkbait was filled of sweetness and savoring. it was just too good on the hot day to sit out on the beach with a tub of ice cream for herself. the tub was quite fine to cool down even if for a short time. the ice cream soon ran out, causing frustration and disappointment for sharkbait. getting up from the beach with the remaining tub and spoon in her hand, she knew it was time to get some more ice cream for herself.

What is their favorite island treat and why?
So many options. After all the work they'd been doing, Sycamore's mouth practically watered at the idea of a good meal. Not just the light snacks and treats she'd picked up at one of the little shops, but something that had actually been cooked recently. Despite the heat, she didn't even mind the idea of a hot meal. Her options seemed a little limited when it came to restaurants on this rather small island. She slowly wandered a circle around the business district, surveying her choices very carefully. Wonderful smells littered the air and it certainly wasn't slowing down the growling of her stomach as she thought of what she could eat.
But somehow, it wasn't a restaurant that stopped her, but a small wooden stand that sat just at the edge of town.
The homemade-looking stand seemed to almost sway under the weight of all of the fruits that were piled on top of it like beautiful trophies. Watermelons the size of her head, apples so big a single bite would barely leave a mark. The entire thing smelled fresh and lovely.
She was struggling not to drool as she grabbed one of the paper bags the owners of the shop had left out and began to fill it to the very brim with choices. A watermelon, of course! A pair of apples, and a mango the color of the sunset high above the island. A banana, a coconut, a little bit of everything they had to offer. The kalon selling them stared at her in shock like she'd gone crazy, when in reality her stomach was just demanding this fruit that looked so good.
The kalon continued to stare at her with wide, moon-like eyes as Sycamore wordlessly handed them the money for her food and waited patiently for her change. Their paws were shaking as they handed it to her, along with her heavy bag.
It had to be at least ten solid pounds of fruit. Sycamore was grinning like an idiot as she returned to the quiet spot she'd found earlier, and moved a little closer to the beach so she could slip her paws into the warm, soft golden sand. It felt good now that the island was starting to cool down for the day.
She cracked the watermelon on the ground like she'd seen them do in the movies, and grabbed a large chunk with her bare paws, letting the juice spill everywhere. She was so tired, there wasn't anything in the world that would make her stop. Sycamore commenced to stuff her face with as much of the fruit as she could, sweet thing after sweet thing as she slowly emptied away the paper bag she'd set beside her like an old friend.
