Toby had woken up hungry, which wasn't new. So, naturally, he'd followed the voices (not the out-loud voices, the other kind) that were talking about food to the big room. There were lots of people, but that was okay. He could handle that for a little while, as long as he could get some cereal.

"'lo?" he said tentatively.

Topher looked up from his scrutiny of the TV.

"Hi," he offered in a small voice. This kid looked shy like him so he probably wasn't a bully, but he couldn't be sure. "Did you want the TV?"

"What's on?" Toby asked curiously, as he frowned up at the high, high cupboards.

"Fireworks," Topher reported. "I mean, it's 'bout fireworks. An' how they're made."

Nerd.

godgavemecable November 12 2011, 16:38:45 UTC

Toby's eyes went wide. "Sounds neat," he said diplomatically. Personally, he kind of found fireworks scary with the big flashiness and the noise and all but... this other kid had been here first.

"Really?" Topher asked, surprised. Where he came from, no one liked science.

godgavemecable November 12 2011, 16:48:53 UTC

Toby wasn't exactly a fan of science. Toby was a fan of not calling too much attention to himself.

"Really," he echoed, trying to sound convincing. He... probably didn't.

"Wow," Topher marveled. "Cool! It's teachin' me all 'bout the mortar and the shell and stuff. You should come watch."

godgavemecable November 12 2011, 16:53:27 UTC

Whatever Toby's response was going to be, it was cut off by the rather loud grumbling of his stomach as he was reminded of his original reason for being here.

"Um," he said, heat rising in his cheeks.

dollpocalypse November 12 2011, 16:59:04 UTC

"You hungry?" Topher asked.

Obviously.

godgavemecable November 12 2011, 17:13:01 UTC

"Yeah," Toby nodded. "But I can't reach up where all the cereals are."

dollpocalypse November 12 2011, 17:14:51 UTC

"Me neither," Topher told him, trying to puzzle out a solution. "You could climb on a chair?"

godgavemecable November 12 2011, 17:22:59 UTC

"That might work," Toby admitted. Adults didn't usually like him climbing on chairs, but the only adult around seemed to be that blonde lady, and she didn't seem mean, so. He dragged a chair over to the counter and scrambled up, grabbing the first box of cereal he could find.

"Cookie Crisp?" he read carefully. "Whassat?"

dollpocalypse November 12 2011, 17:27:32 UTC

"I dunno," Topher said thoughtfully, peering up to see. When he caught sight of the box, his face lit up. "Is it real cookies? For breakfast?"

At home, for breakfast, he got grapefruit.

godgavemecable November 12 2011, 17:42:05 UTC

"Think it might be," Toby decided. "It looks like cookies." Much, much better than the usual boring cereal he got at most homes. "Want some?"

dollpocalypse November 12 2011, 17:46:29 UTC

Uh, duh.

"Yeah!" Topher agreed. That was almost as cool as fireworks! He went to the fridge and squinted at the milk options, finally choosing one that said 2%. He wasn't sure what that meant, but there was a little picture and it looked all white instead of the beige soy milk his mom made him drink, so he was curious.

"I found milk," he announced. "It's white."
