[ There's a blur of color and too-bright fluorescent lights before the camera stops abruptly in front of the frozen food aisle of a grocery store. ]

See that? [ She probably means the frankly alarming amount of eggo waffles, zooming in on a few boxes for emphasis. ] They keep getting restocked somehow. [ And she's taken a lot. So she'd actually know.

Switching the camera view, Sylvie's face fills the screen. She looks awfully stern, like she's about to launch into theorizing or even a warning about the validity of the food. But she doesn't. Instead, inexplicably: ]

All of those are mine—even the ones that aren't there yet. [ ... she's serious. ] Fight me if you want, but I call dibs.

[kampfgeist]

why do you need to call dibs on the ones that arent there yet if they restock

[villr]

Because somebody else could take them. [ It's so absurd, and yet she sounds so matter-of-fact about it. ]

@weltyang

[indwelt]

[ hello??? ]

....Are you really planning on eating all of those?

[villr]

Yeah. Until I figure out what else I want to do with them. [ She has ideas. None of them are good. Some involve fire. ] Maybe I'll build a waffle tower and live in that.

don't be an asshole.

the food's there for everyone. don't like it, get back on the train.

[villr]

You can have all the other food. These are mine. [ Logic? What is that?? ]

Video, UN: Loki

[abit_ofboth]

[Loki peers into the camera at the bright yellow boxes and frowns. He’s busy trying to figure out why they would be so important when the person posting the video comes on screen and he feels startled, though he can’t quite put his finger on why except that she seems somehow familiar.]

And what is so important about those things? What makes you so important that they are all yours? Is your name Eggo?

[villr]

[ There's a brief flash of recognition on her face—and something else, something tense—before she's switching the camera view again. Enjoy the waffle visuals. And the fact that she's skipping over most of his questions. ]

Have you even had these before?

[nichocolatine]

what the hell are they?
they look like shit

[villr]

Waffles. [ She zooms the camera in on one of the boxes. Like—too close. ] See? You put syrup on it. And other stuff, but mostly syrup.

@DONQUIXOT3, video

[icanfixer]

[ oh shit ]

I shall not allow thee to withhold breakfast from those who wish to partake in waffles! I accept thy challenge, fiendish woman, and should thee fall thou shall hand deliver a box to all whom yearn for it!!!!!!

[ FINALLY SOME GOOD FUCKING VILLANY (?) SHE CAN JUSTICE HERE!!!!! ]

[villr]

[ That's ... wow. Not what she was expecting, but kind of weirdly charming? She doesn't get challenged like this often. Usually it's way less theatrical.

Sylvie smirks. ]

Fine by me. What's your weapon of choice?

un: yukixoxo

[unimportant]

that's a lot of waffles, miss!
you'll get a stomachache if you eat so many.

[villr]

[ — is someone actually — concerned about her?

She struggles to process that for a second. ]

I'm fine. I don't get sick from food. [ Usually. ]

@star.lord

[nostalgiabomb]

i think the preferred phrasing is

l'eggo my eggo

[villr]

[ Someone gets it!! She actually perks up. ]

Alright. You're an expert, so settle a debate: eggos or toaster strudels?

un: gepard

[def]

[ you know, he'd tell her off about hoarding but, first ]

What are eggos?

[villr]

Frozen waffles. You can toast them, but I like them raw too.

@vogel, audio

[halbird]

[ wait

he kind of likes those. maybe don quixote up there will fight for their household's honor and earn some, but sinclair is a useless young man.

so. ]

Ah— dibs on all of them? You won't... let even one box go?

[ please they're so easy he just has to pop them in the toaster and they taste so good

this week is the worst ]

[villr]

I'll let kids have some boxes. Or I could do exchanges.

Maybe.

un: hidden

[matermali]

For those of us with no desire to fight, you would not even consider the kindness of sharing how they might taste?

[villr]

I guess you can't know what you're missing if you haven't had any yet. [ She says this like it's a great inconvenience, but there's no actual bite behind the words. ] You get one bite.

un: midnightespresso; text

[nerine]

Gonna have to think of some creative ways to use up those eggos

May I suggest a waffle burger?

@Alhaitham

[justscribing]

"Somehow" meaning you haven't actually seen how they're restocking?

video / un; Geilt

[hardestbattle]

What are they?

[A face painted blue pops, she looks confused.]

@nebula

[furibund]

Who in their right mind would go to combat over freezer-burned pastries?

[ Look, she probably had some kind of experience with them on Earth at Avenger's Compound. ]

voice. @kaveh

[fussiest]

Is that food in those boxes? [ the rise of surprise in a tone that is punctuated by the sudden silence of his footsteps. kaveh considers the portmanteau on the screen. ] Well, I suppose it's all yours, but would the ones in the back rot by the time you finish eating the ones in the front? It wouldn't be very fresh; you'd get sick, wouldn't you?
