This is insane! There's no way the store has enough of those boxes for everyone to get their stuff back! I'd be surprised if I found enough to get just one of my runes.

But I guess that's the point, huh. [Groaaaaaaan.] I hate this place. That cereal stuff doesn't even taste very good! Ooh, but I really want my stuff back...

[Regardless, you may

[Ken may or may not be hiding a small hoard of them at the back of the cupboard, which he'll noogie Miakis if she gets into them. He wants his motorcycle damn it. It's a vain hope but...since when has he thought things through]

[sting_like_a]

Wait, wait, there's something back here... oho, what's all this~?

[Yep, she found your stash, Ken! She's going to try and sneak them out and... I dunno, bury them in the backyard. Noogie away~]

[weiss_tank]

Ah! Miakis! Give me those! [He sees you wifey, and he's going to try and take those boxes back]

[sting_like_a]

Hey, hey! Finders keepers!

[Doh, caught in the act. Note to self: work on stealthiness. She'll be making a run for it now.]

[weiss_tank]

But they're mine! [And he's going for the tackle now]

[sting_like_a]

Then find a better hiding place! Were you bad at hide-and-seek as a kid or something?

[She just barely manages to jump out of the way, but it comes at the cost of dropping a few of the boxes, fffff.]

[weiss_tank]

I was not! Come on Miakis! I want my bike back!

[sting_like_a]

And I want my runes back! I bet they'll be way more useful than your bike! Whatever that is.

[weiss_tank]

Knowing this place it'll make them explode or something! [He grumbles, he has to listen to his own advice about it.] What ever the case...fuck. This just seems too easy.

[sting_like_a]

[Sigh, she puts the boxes down on the kitchen table and kneels down to gather the ones she dropped.]

Well, it seems simple enough... but two hundred of those boxtops for some magic? It's impossible!

[weiss_tank]

And there was that call that went out about the 'processing fee'. Would this town allow us to cheat like this?

[sting_like_a]

...I don't even want to think about what that fee could be.

Stupid Mayfield and its stupid boxtops and its stupid not giving me my stuff back... [grumblegrumblegrumble. She's cranky now.]

[weiss_tank]

[Ken's just as cranky] I know I'm getting something lame back next time! I want my bike!

[sting_like_a]

I can't think of anything but my runes that they could give back... I guess that's a good thing, though?

[Pause.]

...Seriously, though, what's a bike?

[weiss_tank]

Huh? Oh, right, different world, a motorcycle is a motorized two wheeled vehicle. Not that safe but fun as hell to ride.

This guy Dist in the town has one that he bought from a drone.

[sting_like_a]

Ooooh, like those car thingies? Neat~ I bet it's safer than blinking magic.

...Why not just buy a new one, then?
