[ thebe will meet up with anise in the food court pretty promptly after the ping, slipping through what looks like a black void and brushing off their jacket. their "ears" prick forward. ]
None taken, blame it on the programming of the auto-cookers. They make food that's exactly what you're body needs and not much else. It's pretty awful when we've got options other, but does the job it's supposed to.
Glad this place opened up though. I've been dying to come back.
[ they'll gesture with a hand and start making their way through some of the options and kiosks before stopping at a smaller one with a green and white awning. the little arms inside give a friendly wave. there's actually a really extensive menu of dessert crepes available. there are All kinds. just All. thebe ponders. ]
I like this place a lot - they'll put it in a little paper cone so you can take it to go.
I'm used to things that are quick and instant, cheap too... but I like watching them make them.
[ the machines are very deft in putting together the order, with delicate little apparatuses that drizzle chocolate sauce onto a very delicious looking crepe. thebe has gone ahead and ordered one with some lemon and sugar and a little cream. ]
I've eaten better here than ever... everything's always so expensive.
Papa got into a whole lot of debt, and Mama's bad with money too, so we've been struggling a bunch... We all work at the cathedral, but even with the three of us, we don't take home enough to make ends meet...
Hehe. I'm officially their youngest recruit ever! [ unofficially? don't worry about it. ] It's because I'm a prodigy when it comes to fonic artes. Amazing, right?
... Oh, that reminds me, I wanted to ask about that!! People were saying the nanites are what's preventing us from using our abilities... When do you think that'll wear off?
Yeah, they act kind of like an equalizer, it's a little weird. I guess I wouldn't know much on a personal level about powers...
For some it's earlier, others it's later. I think Gan said theirs lasted about two weeks, but it's different for everyone, we can't count on that timeline to be accurate for all.

[ the selection is kind of a lot, especially for a ye olde to process. ]

How about this - you want something savory or something sweet? That'll help me narrow it down.

Debt, huh? Really feels like being up a creek without a paddle.

What do you do at the cathedral?

Joking... joking. You seem pretty competent, I wouldn't put it past you...
