[2] - Dude, this cabbage sucks.

[Badou's been working at the grocery store that he's apparently been working at for years according to the magical-fucked up town. It's not too different from his world so he's picked it up fast. He'll help you find your carrots and canned corn and whatever the fuck you need to eat. He's been getting the

-Oh hi, coworker. Don't mind Ashton. He's just stocking cabbage. Also he has dragons on his back.-

[fthisgetmecigs]

[Sitting while there's no customers and just sort of staring resentfully at the cabbages. Goddamn cabbages.] Those things can't be real. [Gestures at the dragons with the hand not holding the cigarette.]

Gotta be machines or some shit.

[Puff puff. Way to start conversation, Badou.]

[backseat_dragon]

God, I sincerely wish that were the case. But no, I'm stuck with these guys. Probably forever. Just my luck...

[fthisgetmecigs]

[All that is keeping Badou from throwing food at Ashton's back to see if the dragons catch it is common human decency. It's probably bad enough having two dragon-thingys affixed to one's back.]

Do they do any tricks besides lookin' menacing?

I heard you can turn into a drone sometimes! Does that count as bad?

[... He sounds a little too cheerful being the bearer of bad news. Presumably.]

[fthisgetmecigs]

[This smartypants here picks up on this cheerfulness. What is it with these spunky optimistic people?]

Yeah. I think so, 'cause I got a drone in my house. She's all... Creepy and shit.

[anonnomnomnom]

Ah, they can be in your house. [It's hard to tell whether he's confirming or just realizing this.] It's okay, though. They're like programmed helpers or something.

Though I guess if you become a drone, that counts as brainwashing.

[fthisgetmecigs]

Yeeeah. I'm not seeing any upside about that.

[Kumatora will appear right in front of him almost the exact second after he finishes his latest cigarette. Coincidence?]

Does this place have any magic pudding?

[fthisgetmecigs]

[Almost swallows the butt of his cigarette in a sort of startled manner.] Shit. Don't pop up like that! [Tosses the offending butt in the proper receptacle before speaking.]

Magic pudding? That supposed to be a brand? Think we got some... "Jello-O" brand of pudding.

[Also starts up a fresh cigarette. There must always be nicotine.]

[pkrincess]

[Dear God this man's poor lungs.]

Nope. It's a kind that restores PSI.

Guess it makes sense they wouldn't have it here. Jell-O sounds like a weird name for pudding, but maybe it's alright.

[fthisgetmecigs]

PSI? What's that? Y'mean like air pressure for tires?

[Points down the aisle from whence the pudding lies.] It's all dry stuff so you're gonna have to mix it with milk and shit.

[kinships]

Things... have happened here, but as long as you make a network of friends to help you out, you'll get by.

[fthisgetmecigs]

That sorta place, huh... Well I guess I gotta be goin' to all the social whatever the fucks that go down here, eh?

[kinships]

[He's far too used to bad language from his brother to be bothered by this. Sob.]

I don't think there are many social events...

[fthisgetmecigs]

[Welp, Badou wasn't planning on making any foul-mouthed accommodations on wee ones anyway.]

Guess I'll make friends fast when the crazy shit goes down then.

Excuse me, sir. [Hello Badou! Here's a petite little princess, pretty and polite enough to be a drone. Feel free to mistake her for one.]

Can you assist me in something?

Re: action;grocery

[fthisgetmecigs]

[Oh have Badou stocking something or other. And mistake her for a drone Badou will. He hasn't been here long enough to have a good sense of it anyway.]

Sure kid, what can I get ya? [Well since it's a drone, he'll just keep on smoking. It'll probably want some candy or some shit anyway.]

[ofoz]

I am hardly a kid, sir, and I would suggest you didn't call me such again.

I need a particular box of tea, but it's on the top shelf. I can't reach it. [Being 14 for life SUCKS especially when you're a 14 year old who hasn't reached their growth spurt]

[fthisgetmecigs]

[Having not had too much experience with drone kids, he thinks this is still part of drones being drones. Aww ain't that precious.]

Uh-huh. So what tea d'ya need? [Reaches up towards one of the top shelves.] This one here?
