Video; Day 147 @dreamsnhonor [With a backdated video from 139]

[heroproceeding]

[ Zack might be… casually adding packets into a cup when the video turns on. There might also be… several empty ones right next to it. ] And I think that’s good- [ About then, he seems to notice the tablet because his eyes widen in realization before- ] Hey, are you recording this? Come on, man! [ He reaches for it just as the tablet goes off. ]

[ Not long after, Zack’s back and standing front and center as he chews on something. He might… also not have the class to completely finish chewing before he starts. Considering how bright his eyes are- past the strange brightness they usually are anyway -well, apparently, they found something worth getting ahead of himself with. ]

‘ey, so! ‘ou know ‘ow we’ ‘een [ He takes a moment to roughly swallow, clearing his throat afterward. ] -sorry, okay! You know how we’ve been checking out that new place past the aquarium, right? Well, we thought we’d have to turn around and get more supplies, but it turns out we’re in luck!

[ Behind Zack, Jim and Zell are sitting on the top of booth seats opposite one another. Zell's tossing fries in Jim's mouth and Jim is mostly succeeding at catching them. Mostly. ]

Don’t forget to tell them about the burgers or the nuggets. [ Zell chimes in as he throws another fry at Jim, who overextends in trying to catch it and falls backward into the next booth with a thud. Whoops. Laughing as Zell slides out of view to go check on Jim. ]

[Kunsel’s in the background, sipping coffee appreciatively as he watches the others, an amused smile on his lips. He’s content with leaving them to do the talking, really. He’ll chime in if he has something to say.]



[ Not long after the original feed cuts, a new one plays. It’s Zack again but somewhere else. Some people who know the entrance area might recognize the fire poles behind him. ]

So, we recorded that a while back but kinda forgot to.. Share it. But hey! Now, you know! Oh, it’s marked on the map attached if you wanna check it out.
[ And as noted, anyone checking it out will find this attachment added on. ]

( ooc: Taggers beware! Responses may come from any Sad Losers: Zack, Zell, Kunsel, & Jim! )

Is that a McDonalds?

[rattlingthestars]

Stephanie said that's what it looked like. Something from your world?

[onthefitz]

Yes. We have them all over the place; I'm betting the same could be said for Stephanie's world.

Where is it located exactly?

[rattlingthestars]

Huh. Cool.

You found the hospital yet? Go straight south from there, that should take you to the aquarium.

[onthefitz]

Yes, though I've actually already headed north.

There's an aquarium here?

[rattlingthestars]

No fish or anything, just the tanks. It was probably pretty cool back when it was in business, though.

[onthefitz]

I see.

Has anyone attempted to test the water to see if it's fresh water or not? And if it's not, has anyone attempted desalination?

[rattlingthestars]

Haven't thought about it since the sinks here are working.

How would desalination work?

[heroproceeding]

there something I was missing out on all these years until now or what?

[ Man, you are the second person to mention that name. Sounds like it was a real hot spot. Then again, Steph did say it was popular... ]

[onthefitz]

Depends on who you ask. It's something of a cultural thing for the United States. We have them where I'm from but we aren't as into them as Americans.

[heroproceeding]

apparently. so what are you into then? since I'm guessing you aren't from Alaska.

[ Though come to think of it, now he has to wonder why it isn't a McDonalds considering how many people have been talking it up.... ]

[onthefitz]

I'm originally from Scotland.

We tend to eat a lot of sandwiches that are piled with as much meat as possible. Lots of chips.

[heroproceeding]

Scotland huh. That's a new one.

[ Then again, it's not like he's avidly asked around. Maybe someone else is also from there and he has no idea? ]

that doesn't sound so bad though. hell I could definitely go for something like that right about now. probably a bit more appetizing than the frog back where I'm from.

[onthefitz]

It's across the ocean from the United States, which Alaska is apart of.

You ate frogs?

Frog legs or the entire frog?

[heroproceeding]

across the ocean. got it.

and yeah. we did at Gongaga anyway. I mean not all the time but it was still pretty common. most people go for the legs but some of the older folks definitely always used to argue about how wasteful that was.

you ever eat something like that before?

[onthefitz]

I guess that's understandable. No need to waste food..

[This Gongaga place sounds extremely backwater. What the hell.]

I've tried frog legs before on a dare. It..wasn't something I was particularly fond of.

But in Scotland we had a traditional dish that's far worse than eating a frog.

[heroproceeding]

[ DO NOT INSULT HIS HOMETOWN ALRIGHT. THEY'RE GOOD PEOPLE. ]

it's an acquired taste. I'll tell you that much. it's not like it's something I regularly eat myself. believe me. I would take burgers and fries over it any day.

but something worse than frog legs? uh... crown lance tentacles?

[onthefitz]

[HE'S SURE THEY ARE BUT IT'S STILL WEIRD.]

I think most people would take burgers and fries over just about anything if given the choice.

I'm not sure what that is but we have something called Haggis. It's..made from a sheep's heart, liver and lungs, mixed with some other things then encased in the sheep's stomach.

[heroproceeding]

[ It takes him a few seconds longer to actually respond to that and when he finally does. ]

yeah okay. I think you have me beat there. that does sound PRETTY nasty.

tell me you didn't actually try that stuff.

[ He would take eating frog legs for the rest of his life over eating something like that. If only you could see the face he made, Leo. If only. ]

[onthefitz]

Once. I tried it once when I was really young.

Never again.

It was absolutely foul.

[heroproceeding]

probably didn't know what you were getting yourself into then did you. heh!

but yeah no kidding! it sounds as bad as malboro stew.

[ And that's saying something, really. ]

[onthefitz]

No, no I didn't.

What's malboro stew? I mean, I get that it's a stew but what exactly is malboro?

[heroproceeding]

big nasty plant monster with lots of tentacles, eyes, and a big gaping mouth with razor sharp teeth. believe me when I say you don't wanna run into one of these things on the field. its breath can leave you feeling like you're gonna be puking your guts out into next WEEK!

but for some reason some people actually LIKE to have it as a meal. they say the eyeballs are the best part.

[onthefitz]

That sounds like something out of a terrible Japanese movie.

And perhaps even a terrible Japanese meal.

[heroproceeding]

a Japanese meal? what? do they eat a lot of stuff like this or something?
