[F30-PP] In a land of edibles, what is a fish? {Jacob's Ladder}

Floor 30

What can be said about a floor of food and consumables?  There would be no words to describe it without going at length to speak on the absurdity of it all.  Though, as the hunter stood there in the teleportation plaza of the 30th floor, he felt like he would not like what this floor would bring to him.  The central town, Waveside, was settled upon the high seas, or as they were called on this floor, the Iridescent Sea.  For the first hour of coming here, Hirru couldn't understand what everything was.  There were boats and houses made of wood, but the wood had a heavy scent of smoke dried meat.  The sails were more seaweed, though there were some that were white like regular fiber.  Were they anything specific?  Hide?  What did that taste like?

"Oh gods above, Crozeph is getting to me.."

Hirru would say as he sat upon a small dock on the inner parts of Waveside.  He didn't want to venture very far from the teleporation plaza, but the heavy commerce would have him a bit of a ways away.  As he would settle down, he would open his menu before sending out the message to all of his guild mates.

The 24th floor is an island paradise, but our focus should be helping in the understanding of the new floor.  Let us set out on this floor and determine the local materials and such that can be gained from the flora and fauna.  In other words, let's have a little gathering and fishing venture.  Gatherers can search out clams and pearls, while fishers can.. well fish.

See you on the 30th floor!

Reytac exhaled softly, staring at the message again to make sure that it was real, and he wasn’t hallucinating. He sucked in a deep breath, and nodded. It was real, his guild was descending on -, or, ascending on, the thirtieth floor, to explore it and learn more about what was the new front line. The closest he had been so far was, admittedly, the unhinged, disturbing twenty ninth floor, but that particular experience was one he tried not to think about if he could help it, aside from his newfound friendship with Teion.  
 
This, then, would be his chance to actually meet more of his actual guild mates. Until now, he still could count the number he’d met on one hand with fingers to spare – only Mari, and Hirru, the one who this message has come from. So after making sure that his equipment was strapped in place and his consumables were stocked up, he headed for the teleporter plaza to head upwards. He didn’t think he'd immediately be squashed if something decided that his existence offended it, but he’d still have to make sure he was careful here. He didn’t want to make any of his guild mates have to go out of their way to protect him.  
 
The environment was weird. Everywhere he looked, it was like… food had been used to make everything. Not in like, the kiddish imagination of sugar and candy everywhere a la Willy Wonka’s factory – but… dried, cured meat had been layered over and over to be wood. Giant stalks of broccoli, or wheat stalks that glowed at the end, served as street lamps. The road beneath his feet was hardened Rock candy and ridiculously thick taffy to serve as grout. There was a wagon rolling along, and its wheels were massive pasta wheels for one pair, and cheese wheels for the other. He rubbed his eyes and did a double take, before giving a weak shrug.  
”Right. Now, where did his map ping show he was? It took him a few minutes, but he eventually spotted the hunter a short distance away from the plaza, fiddling with his menus as he waited. Rey walked over, waving his hand in greeting.  
”Afternoon, I think at least, Mr Hirru, nice seeing you again!”  
 
Rey stats inbound in the morning.
