[ they are at (spins wheel) convenience store

saber is standing at the entrance, wide-eyed. they cannot decide what to look at. ]

What in the world...

[fried]

[ help!! jiaoqiu wanders up, and glances down at them. ]

Have you never seen one of these before?

[rippled]

Not at all, I barely know what I'm looking at... some type of shop?

[ because of all the different items... ]

[fried]

It seems to be something like a grocery store? [ a hum. ] Would you like to explore it with me? I can only imagine what sort of items the afterlife might hold.

[rippled]

If you don't mind! I don't recognize any of these products.

[ give them doritos and their head will explode ]

[fried]

[ i think if you gave jiaoqiu doritos his head would also explode so i know what we're doing

he'll wander in, though! ]

I can't say I'll recognize any of the products either. If they're anything like the nugs, I'll be sorely disappointed.

[rippled]

Which one was the nugs again?

[ the only name they got was 'sandwich' which was. for the burger. so they don't even have that right. ]

[fried]

The fried, breaded chicken. Well. What passed for fried, breaded chicken. I'm not entirely sure it was.

[rippled]

It is much more palatable if you tried it with sauces. But sometimes you simply must eat what you have available.

[ or starve. can they starve when they already died? saber was not going to test that. what a shitty way to die.

oh, look. chips. ]

Snacks?

[fried]

That is a sentiment many of you have expressed to me...

[ he's gonna feed all of you so much

as for the chips, his ear flicks. oooh. ]

Corn chips, it seems? [ delicately picks up a bag of nacho cheese doritos and squints at it. ] With some sort of cheese.

[rippled]

Whoa, that sounds interesting.

[ they are trying to wrap their head around this combination and it's not working. ]

Let's try it!

[fried]

[ just opens the bag in the middle of the store like a heathen and hands them a dorito cautiously ]

On three?

[rippled]

Okay! One, two... three!

[ munch munch munch





urk ]

I.

[fried]

[ WRINKLES HIS NOSE. politely: ]

... What a strange texture.

1/2

[rippled]

[ continues chewing... considering... ]

It's sort of like—

[rippled]

[ STABS THEMSELF IN THE ROOF OF THE MOUTH WITH THE DORITO ]

[fried]

[ SABER NOOOOOOO ]

-- Oh, I heard that from here. Are you alright? [ the stab of dorito through flesh...... ]

[rippled]

This... this food is dangerous...

[ THAT HUUUURT ]

[fried]

Dangerous and it barely even tastes like anything.

[ but he hates wasting food... nooo. ]

People enjoy these? Why?

[rippled]

Perhaps it's a test of courage?

[ you show off how manly you are by almost dying. ]

I'm also curious... how long are these items on the shelves for? Don't they go bad?

[fried]

It could be. Putting strange foods in your mouth is certainly a test of something.

[ he looks over the bag, and then: ] We have foods that keep for months in the Xianzhou Alliance. Maybe it's like those.

Military rations, right? [ doritos are definitely mres ]

[rippled]

Ah... I guess that might be why this does not taste good.

[ it makes sense... it's military rations... ]

w1, SATURDAY

[fried]

[ hey bud what's up he's in the fucking hot springs because today was ASS

it's just his feets though. he's not fully undressed. he's rubbing at his temples like he has a headache. ]

[rippled]

[ that's a mood.

they will wander over, pausing when they spot him. ]

Am I interrupting?

[fried]

No, of course not - hello Saber.

[ his ear flicks, and he glances in their direction. ]
