You have no idea how much I hope it's the spiders, dude. I don't think anyone in the entire multiverse has ever hoped to have been manhandled by spiders as much as me right now.

[ she's joking but also she's super not joking at all WHY THIS ]

[heroproceeding]

Well, if it's between them and Miller...

Yeah, I'd rather it be spiders. Seriously, that guy's gotta be ancient.

[ And he's also messed up. And had them run that rat race through those repairs. Yeah, Miller is far from in his good books. Tilting his head to the side, he adds: ] Besides, these spiders know where it's at, right? I mean it's almost like we get the full spa treatment from 'em.

[ Given, it's when they're dead, but details. Dark, morbid details they don't need to think about. ]

[phaseshifter]

Oh, yeah. I can't complain about the spider service. I'd tip them, if... I actually had any cash on me. Or anything on me. At all.

[ The jumpsuit doesn't count. Shut up. THEY EVEN TOOK HER HAIR TIE, DUDE. ]

D'you think they accept credit? Or Handsome Jack's bank account details?

[heroproceeding]

[ He just thought she was going for the shaggy, disheveled look with the hair. SHE'S REALLY WORKING IT, TOO.

Or not. No, not really. But hey, they all hot mess like the best of 'em.

Chuckling weakly, he shakes his head. ] Maybe. You can always try. But hey, if it works, why just tip them when we can get a whole make over. Hell, they might even get us a room at the Spindly Legs Hotel. Hot water, electric blankets, and all.

[ The beds would probably be webs though. Let's be real. Freaky deaky webs. EVERYTHING webs. ]

[phaseshifter]

Ooooh. I'm already giddy just thinking about all the little freebie hotel cosmetics. Tiny bottles of shampoo and soaps! Candy left on the pillows.

If Miller is listening, I hope he's taking notes on how to be more hospitable.

[ The cells don't even have an exorbitantly-priced minibar and suddenly that feels like the cruellest oversight of all. BOO HISS BOO. ]

[heroproceeding]

[ A minibar would be great right about now. Especially considering he could get drunk off the small fries for once. HE'D BE SO GOOD WITH THAT.

Zack snorts all the same. Reaches to rummage for a pocket he doesn't have for a bouncy ball no longer in his possession and grunts softly. ] I'd hope so. Right now, I think he'd be in the red already.

Can't forget room service, too. All those extra blankets and pillows? That'd be pretty nice right about now. Ordering food real food, too. Overpriced food, but eh. I'll take it.

[phaseshifter]

Oh, this is getting dangerously close to one of those conversations where starving people talk about their favourite foods for hours and just make themselves feel worse. You know the kind. We really shouldn't do this.

 

 

 

But I could really freaking go for some fries right now. The curly ones. All crispy with extra seasoning.

[ OH DEAR, ]

[heroproceeding]

[ OH YES.

But this really is a dangerous conversation. He really shouldn't contribute to it, should he.





Oh, hell. Why not. ]

Shit, that sounds really good right about now. Or some classics like chocobo tenders with some barbecue sauce. The really spicy kind that lights your mouth on fire?

[ Yep, he's going there, too. ]

[phaseshifter]

Chocobos are the - the fluffy birds, right? So that's something like chicken nuggets? Or rakk strips?

[ Either option is a-ok in her book. Although... ]

If you're going for spicy, you have to have a milkshake too. In case it gets too much. Geez, it's been years since I had a chocolate milkshake!

[ GUYS STOP THIS, ]

[heroproceeding]

[ CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP THIS TRAIN.

Zack makes finger guns at the mention of nuggets though. Right on the gil. Though MILKSHAKES. ]

Man, you and me both there. I'm not sure I'd go for just chocolate though. I mean it's a classic, but if you're gonna have one after so long, you go big or go home! I'm talking the works. Sprinkles, cookie crumbs, whatever. Little cactuar gummies.

[phaseshifter]

Cactuar...? I'm not familiar with that flavour, but I assume it's good.

[ IT'S A FLAVOUR, RIGHT? SURELY. ]

And if we're going big, then I guess dessert is mandatory too. I'm kinda feeling brownies right now? The really gooey ones that are still warm. My-- I used to be able to get really good ones back home.

[ Ok so Handsome Jack was a genocidal sack of fuck BUT THE GUY MADE GOOD BROWNIES ]

[heroproceeding]

[ Hey, he won't call out the slip there if you won't! ]

Man, you're killing me here, Angel! [ Not that he seems particularly offended by the thought. Not in the least when he licks his dry lips and closes his eyes. ] Mom was terrible at cooking, but when it came to upside-down breezeberry cake? You should'a seen how fast that sucker was gone. Didn't last an evening.

[ There's more than that he wishes for, of course, from home. But they al- well. Some do at least. Still, he huffs something of soft laughter, weak as it may be. ] And cactuar, itself, isn't a flavor. At least not anything I think anyone would like. They're just shaped like 'em.

[phaseshifter]

Oh - like gummi bears aren't bear flavoured, they're just bear shaped? Okay, that... yes. Those can stay. Though now I have to admit that I dunno what a breezeberry is. Or a cake that's upside down, unless it's... literally just that.

[ But whatever it is, it has the word "cake" in it and that automatically means she wants some. TUMMY RUMBLE TIME. ]

[heroproceeding]

[ Zack nods quickly at the first question. But at the second. ] Breezeberry. You know.. like.. A kind of little purple berry about this big?

[ He gestures with finger and thumb the size before shrugging. ] They're sweet with a bite of sour as an aftertaste if you eat 'em raw, but when you bake them, they're just sweet. And yeah- it's just a cake you flip after you bake it.

[ He thinks. He's never really paid it that much attention. Just ATE it. ] It's pretty good with chocolate frosting.

[ You know. Just going to add to that rumbling. ]
