    • The jig is up. Run

    • Apologize profusely

    • [Rhetoric: Heroic 15] Convince the clerk you don’t know what fruits are

    EVEN 58%

    +1 You look terribly frazzled

    This is a Red Check. It can not be retried

    de-rhetoric Rhetoric: [Heroic: Success] “Is this not a banana?” You say in the most genuine tone you can muster

    de-savoir-faire Savior Faire: You may have been caught, but you managed to feign enough innocence to get trouble off your back

    The clerk gives a dumbfounded expression

      Encyclopedia: It is in fact *not* a banana. A banana is an elongated, edible fruit – botanically a berry – produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa. In some countries, bananas used for cooking may be called “plantains”, distinguishing them from dessert bananas. The fruit is variable in size, color, and firmness, but is usually elongated and curved, with soft flesh rich in starch covered with a rind, which may be green, yellow, red, purple, or brown when ripe. The fruits grow upward in clusters near the top of the plant. Almost all modern edible seedless (parthenocarp) bananas come from two wild species – Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana. The scientific names of most cultivated bananas are Musa acuminata, Musa balbisiana, and Musa × paradisiaca for the hybrid Musa acuminata × M. balbisiana, depending on their genomic constitution. The old scientific name for this hybrid, Musa sapientum, is no longer used.
