"That bear… is looking real tasty right now."

As Professor Xavier and the rest of the Xmen talked about… well, he couldn't really hear them at this point, Joseph Moore stood by the side of the bear enclosure, staring into it with a fire in his eyes. As seemed to be tradition these days, he wasn't doing to great in terms of survival, going on about eight days with no food. On the one hand, it was a new personal record. On the other, he was still [i]starving to death[/i].

He hadn't even noticed he was drooling while he considered his options. He could either depend on the kindness of strangers and ask for food or money for food like he was homeless, which he totally wasn-… Ah, what the hell, he'd had his timeskip, he was more confident in himself now. He was [i]totally[/i] homeless. He'd even lived under a bridge for a month, damn it! So, he could either beg for food or money, or he could climb into the enclosure and try to eat the bear.

So really, there was only [i]one[/i] option that was actually somewhat viable.

And he moved to try and climb into the enclosure.

Unfortunately, as he began to lift his leg over, a particularly bad pang of hunger pain shot through his stomach, and he fell back to the ground.

"Uggghhhhhh…" He groaned as he fell flat on his back. "Daaaamn it… So huuungryyy…"

[i]Well, you [/i]do[i] still have the other option.[/i] A voice in his head said. [i]Fighting a bear was probably a dumb idea anyway… Go ask that zoo lady if she can tranquillise it first, and then throw you in. Then you can eat it at your leisure.[/i]

"God inner me, you're so wise…" He mumbled to himself, before rolling over and dragging himself to the small group.

"Please, Xmen, food…" He groaned when he reached them. "Need food… Help me eat that beeeaaarrr…"

In his defence, he probably wouldn't have been dumb enough to call Thomas Professor X in most normal situations, but at this point he legitimately [i]was[/i] seeing the Xmen thanks to hunger related hallucinations. It was probably also what convinced him he'd be able to fight a bear in hand to hand combat.
