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!

[ What is this we don't have this much FOOD in postapocalyptic anime wild west ]


Wow.

[wherethewildthingsare]

..No markets, where you're from?

[featherduster]

Well, I mean - sorta? But not like...

[ Vague gesture at ALL THIS CONSUMERISM ]

[wherethewildthingsare]

...Well, it probably serves a huge neighborhood.

[featherduster]

[ neighBORHOOD ]

I think I've seen entire cities with less food than this.

[wherethewildthingsare]

....I guess it's just the. Differences between worlds?

[featherduster]

Maybe. I guess you have these things where you're from? You don't seem surprised.

[ He's going to go STARE INTENTLY at the candy selection in the meanwhile ]

[wherethewildthingsare]

Well, not specifically where I'm from, we have a lot of smaller markets, instead of fewer big ones, like this.

[Are you five.]

[seacat]

...Is something wrong?

[featherduster]

Nothing's wrong, but - look at all this food!

[seacat]

...Is it that surprising, that there's lots of food? There's lots of us!

[featherduster]

Well, yeah, but...

[ Looking out across the grocery store...

Not that many of us, surely!! ]

[seacat]

Especially if anyone wants to make fancy five-course meals or whatever...that takes a lot of food. So it's good that they're prepared!

[featherduster]

Okay, that's a compelling food-related argument. I wonder how many cooks we have...

[ What if eight course meals instead of just five ]

[purrtylittlewires]

...

Now I'm kind of curious to see you in a Walmart.

[featherduster]

In a — what?

[purrtylittlewires]

A store like this. But about....ten times bigger?

[featherduster]

[ w h a t ]

... That's a thing?

[purrtylittlewires]

...yes?

Why, where did you get food?

[You recognized an assault rifle kind of gun from the sound, you can't be from old timey world.]

[featherduster]

We had stores! But they were kind of... not even a fraction of this size. I dunno what half this food even is...

[bloodbiter]

It's incredible, isn't it?

[featherduster]

That's putting it lightly! Have you ever seen so much food in one place?

[bloodbiter]

I haven't. I wonder what everyone back home would say if they could see this.

[featherduster]

They'd probably wonder if it's even possible to eat this much food, 'cause that's what I'm wondering now.

[bloodbiter]

[a laugh]

It would certainly be difficult to eat it all on your own.
