[soulping]

Congratulations, Kyriakos. You have arrived in supermarket hell. The inside of the supermarket looks exactly like what one would find in a 1950s supermarket: packed aisles full of bright advertisements and cans and boxes, along with fresh produce and fruits, snacks and candy, and even a counter for getting meat sliced for you. It looks like all of the people who work there are ghosts, and won’t be charging you for any of it: even the butcher will do the work for you. For some people on Ratatoskr, this supermarket may even look extremely familiar, down to the layout of the aisles and the nametags on the ghosts lining the registers.

Unfortunately for everyone, you are going to be there with all of the other teams, and there aren’t one hundred pounds of roast beef, so you may have to share some of the primary ingredients: produce, fruit, and meat especially.

You have no set recipe, so pick whatever you feel like!

[He's going to help you grab meat for their giant dragon.]

This might get ugly.

[robitussin]

How do you figure?

[wherethewildthingsare]

Cause I think a lot of people are big on food, here.

[robitussin]

I think getting enough for Sunstone is going to be the biggest issue.

[wherethewildthingsare]

Probably, unless it's like.. magic food.

[robitussin]

I guess magically filling food isn't the weirdest thing that's happened here.

[perched up somewhere high, like the top of an aisle; watching her sideeye the ghosts and whatnot]

Nice face you're making. Try not to insult my team's patron while you're in her realm, yeah?

[robitussin]

[looks up with a smirk]

Chill out, skunk boy, I was just looking.

Having fun with this extremely exciting grocery shopping adventure?

[killerfields]

I guess you could say I am. It's nice to see this place hasn't gotten any less retro since the last time I was here.

[hopping down, now!]

Your uniform looks terrible, by the way. I hope that's not a permanent change.

[robitussin]

The last time you were here?

Jesus, what are you, the fashion police? It's not like I had any say in it. Maybe bring it up with your patron.

[killerfields]

We had to come here a while back to get cake supplies for a quest.
I never actually wandered into the supermarket, though - there's a pharmacy nearby where they shuffled me off to.

[and needless to say he and gloss stole a bunch of medicine, oops]

Oh, I plan to. There's only so long I can take being in Gulgallana's awful orange, you know.

[robitussin]

Why did they send you to a pharmacy if you had to get stuff for a cake?

Yours is at least 50% less awful than this. [gestures to her uniform]

[killerfields]

Stomach medicine, for after the cake. Of course, I ended up with much more than that, but that was my own choice.

And I suppose that's true. I'd rather look kind of awful, instead of...
Like an eggplant.

[robitussin]

...Did you actually steal from your own patron's realm? You little shit.

Eggplant is putting it lightly. Nightingale said vomit, but as far as I know that isn't usually purple.

[killerfields]

[more than that, he stole from his girlfriend's realm!! but whoops lets not tell natalie that]

Hey, I never got in trouble for it. Walked out with an armful of whatever I wanted, including a gameboy.

Well, it's definitely something, that's for sure. At least we know what colors to avoid in the future.
Though, Henwen's usual yellow-green doesn't really help the combination.

[robitussin]

What did you even do with the shit you took?

Yeah, I'm basically hideously dressed every day, but this is a new low even for my unlucky team.

[killerfields]

Hid it under my bench, mostly. For emergencies, y'know.
Well - except the gameboy. I have that on me.

[Reaching into his uniform top, and pulling it out to show her! ... It's pink and sparkly.
And then back into his uniform it goes, hidden away.]

That's what I was saying, basically. How good of you to sum it up.
Maybe you can ask Waldemar for a new team color, if you all just quest really hard.

[robitussin]

...Do you think that's actually something we could quest for?

[killerfields]

... Maybe?

I don't actually know. I know you can quest for clothes in other colors - Zelos had a couple outfits like that.

Maybe he'll give you a color that's actually okay to look at.
