Eventually the sweeping food is done and puts the broom away in a closet and leaves.

That's too bad.  It'll return to the beach, then.

The beach is less populated at the moment than it was before, but people are walking along it holding hands, and somebody has... a boombox! Which makes goodsounds!

:D :D :D multiple foods have goodsounds generators!  What a delighting development!  Obviously it's gonna hang out with that food.

When the song changes, the FOOD starts making goodsounds that match the ones coming out of the box.

!

. . .

. . . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . .

. . . Can it make goodsounds.  (Urrrnngghhhh.  Hhhrrhhhh, hhrrnn.)

Its attempts are substantially different in character.

 It will listen very closely to the goodsounds and try and figure out what makes them good, with occasional short attempts at reproducing them.

The food lies there on the beach listening to goodsounds for a while, but eventually turns off the boombox, picks it up, and carries it (and other less interesting possessions) away.

Of COURSE it is going to follow this food.  It's so interesting that the food can make goodsounds; the first food with the goodsounds made similar noises but they weren't good.  This is its new favorite food.

The food walks home, humming a little, and lets itself into a house.

If it's very quick can it also be let into that house.

Yup, though it'll have to be real fast!

Its cloak and it brush and bump against the goodfood a little in the process but can definitely go real fast.

(It's fine when it is the one to touch food, at least this much.)

The food shrieks when brushed and bats at its own arm.

Maybe if it holds VERY STILL and DEFINITELY DOESN'T EAT THE FOOD AT ALL this will not have ruined goodfood's goodsounds producing forever.  Although if goodfood comes towards it at all it will try to move out of the way.  Without touching anything, if possible.

The food calms down after a moment and puts the boombox down and goes to the kitchen, humming again, and starts cutting off the outsides of brown lumps.

Oh that was so fast thank goodness.  It CAUTIOUSLY floats behind the food to watch and listen.

Hum hum hum. Lumps, white on the inside, go in a pot. Water goes in the pot. Pot goes on the stove and starts heating up.

Appreciative ggguuuuennnnnnn.  - Hm, that still wasn't very much like the goodsounds in nearly all ways but there was something about it that sounded a little nice, combining with the goodfood's humming.

Pot starts boiling. Food dumps a spice packet and some butter in a littler pot and heats that.

Eghhhhhhhh.  Hhhhhhhhhhhehhhhhhh.  Harrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhh.  No, it can't quite seem to recapture the niceness yet.

Lumps get poured into a strainer and added to the littler pot and stirred around.

Hrrrrrrrrkhkhkhkhh.

Lumps get dumped, butter and all, onto a plate, and then the food fills a glass with water from the sink, and sits down and consumes lumps with its mouth.
