[ 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.

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.

[ he scrubs his face a little. what a thing to wake up to. ]

you got infinite resources and infinite time and you're spending it laying claim on
what
premade shit? bet that tastes like ass
if you're gonna be a glutton at least be one for quality

[villr]

More fussy people. [ She says it like an accusation, except there's no bite behind it. Not really. ] What food would you stockpile, then?

[nichocolatine]

fussy? nah
give me a loaf of stale bread and i'd call that a steal
i'm just saying — we got everything at our fingertips now
no consequences, no risks
and you're going for the low hanging fruit?
if you're gonna hoard something, make it something worth hoarding y'know?

[ it's a little funny to him, saying what he is. he's sounding more like his brother than he does himself. but maybe he's also just bored, and seeing how far people without restrictions will go. ]

that said if we're gonna have to call dibs on anything, i'm laying claim on cigarettes

[villr]

I could, but this is easier to defend. Bit harder without weapons if I tried squatting in the bowling alley.

[ He's inching closer to the real reason behind this entire post. Not that she's going to say that. ]

You'll have to camp by the registers in front. Good vantage point, though, with the big windows.

[nichocolatine]

nah i'm good
i may be an addict but i'm also lazy as fuck

[ it takes all kinds though, huh? waffles and bowling... takes a specific kind of person to find those things valuable. ]

why make a big stink outta this anyway?
seems kinda counterintuitive cuz now you just got people knowing what they can't have
past experience has taught me that ain't ever lead to anything good
