The monitor is interesting, and large enough to be useful, but it’s clearly going to need an adapter and probably a few new wires. Gravescratch picks at the plastic trim for a moment, debating whether or not it might be edible, then sets it aside for later dissection. Truthfully, it is all edible, the question is more “is this thing worth more as parts than as nutrients” than “can I eat this”.

He doesn’t recognize the bit of plant life, but it’s large enough to be tangible and isn’t actively corroding his servo as he holds it, so of course it’s a snack now. And it’s actually dense enough to crunch as he bites into it, which is great. Even if it is a bit bitter. 

The box is much too fragile to hold anything and isn’t thick enough to be useful as padding, so Gravescratch pulls it apart into a few pieces, turns them over a couple of times to feel the textures, and then chomps on them. They taste a bit like wood, but much softer. It’s actually a neat texture. 

One of the three tiny bits of stuff is used in construction, another is a ring of keys clearly intended for tiny locks, and the third is something jangly. They’re all too small to provide any tangible taste or texture if he eats them, so they get tossed into the jar of tiny parts that are also more or less useless but might be meltable once he’s collected enough. 

Now, is the crate itself edible? 

(the answer is yes. The answer is always yes.)
