Day 43 - Phonecall: All

[advisortype]

A-alright, I really hate to do this, honestly... b-but who's got food to spare right now? Me and Chie just finished off the last of our instant ramen and now we're down to a box of baking soda.

And even that's starting to look good.

You ate everything in your house?

[Sigh. How long have these stores been closed around here?]

[advisortype]

We didn't stock up before the S-Mart exploded, the other shops closed down, and the snow hit... yeah, not gonna make that mistake again.

[wings_of_vanth]

So everything was open at one point.

[advisortype]

Uh huh. It's just this big-ass snowstorm causing everything to shut down and the food fairies to stop restocking everything. But at least the power's back on.

[ethanmaaars]

I have enough to share.

[advisortype]

Dude, for serious? Oh man, you're gonna make me and a very hungry young lady very appreciative.

[ethanmaaars]

Yeah, where do you live? I'm on Dandelion Road.

[advisortype]

We're on Daffodil Street, 203. Man, you're a lifesaver.

[isoluminol]

[She's not exactly swimming in food herself, but...baking soda? Now that was desperation.]

Do you know what eating that stuff will do to you?

[advisortype]

...Probably nothing good, right?

[a beat. yeah, his jokes fall flat.]

I wasn't serious, we're not that desperate yet.

[isoluminol]

Good, because little hunger definitely beats turning into a human science project.

[advisortype]

...Is it really that poisonous? I thought it was used in cooking.

[shotdeadinmy]

I dare you to eat it.

[advisortype]

Noooo way, not after, uh, someone just let me know that stuff will kill me.

[shotdeadinmy]

Naaaaaaah, man, you're just being a pussy!

[advisortype]

Tell you what, dude.

You first.

On video.

[itsjawsbitch]

I have gone fishing.

[advisortype]

F-fishing? Sweet! Uh, maybe I can barter, um... uh, I dunno, but damn fish sounds good.

[itsjawsbitch]

Barter?

[advisortype]

Yeah, barter. You know, trading?
