bravecows: The OTP broccoli test.
One half of a couple is standing in the fresh vegetable aisle of a large supermarket. The other half is away over the other side of the shop. The two can see each other, but cannot communicate verbally. Can the other half convey to the one in the vegetable aisle that he wants broccoli? That's the broccoli test.
But when I tried to see if my (one) OTP would pass the test, I ran into a problem: What if one half of the couple is a telepath? The non-verbal rule doesn't seem to be as much a hindrance as one would suppose.
If Charles can use telepathy, it would go something like: Erik, can you pick up some broccoli for dinner? No, I think we might need a bit more than that. Which *technically* is Passing The Broccoli Test, but I feel is missing something of the spirit of the challenge.
If he can't, however, they'd be too busy fighting power-nullifying aliens to worry overly much about healthy dinner choices, especially once the grocery market is demolished by giant purple elephant creatures. Or else Erik is wearing his helmet, indicative of acute relationship difficulties that cannot be solved by judicious application of broccoli in any case.
