So You're Buying Things From A Train, On A Train.

[unfavorableinstigation]

Who: Nita Callahan and YOU! (aka Open Post!)
Where: The Standard Car as is becoming standard for her...
When: Day two of Egret, late in the morning.
What: Nita buys many things from the shop.
Warnings: Not applicable this time! Except silliness, maybe.



Nita can be found at the shop-slash-vending-machine in the Standard Carriage, either waiting for someone or just tapping on the menu to see all her options.

"Let's see, what to get first? Well, I can always try getting something from home, see what information this train can work off of..."

(There will be toplevels for each section linked above! She's also ordering from 'most expensive per item' to 'lease expensive per item', so the food happens last. There is no tag order, so feel free to respond to what she's doing or ask her to move over and let YOUR character buy something!)

"Yeah, I think so. Not any kind of spider I've met before-"

She certainly wasn't a Yaldat!

"But that's practically a given, with all these worlds we're representing."

[springforth]

"I'll admit, it's kind of stressful being the new person. I just kind of got used to Olympus and now..." She's silent for a moment.

"I'll ask for her. Spiders are probably good at weaving silks anyways, makes perfect sense to do clothing." Though it feels a little like she's trying to convince herself. "Does she stay in a particular cabin?"

[unfavorableinstigation]

Nita gives Persephone a soft smile. "I know what that's like."

Not Olympus specifically, of course, but being the new person on the scene, out-of-the-loop... she more than got that much.

"She hangs out in the Dressing car a lot, second-to-last car of the train."

It's not her cabin, but when you could teleport then it hardly mattered, didn't it?

[springforth]

Persephone quiets for a little while, nodding at the information. She flips over the bag of chips to read the packaging.

"I hadn't gotten that far back in the train. It already feels a little rude to go through all the sleeping cars, I didn't want to go that far."

[unfavorableinstigation]

Alas, all she will find is silver foil.

"It helps that each room's keyed to just a few tickets; unless a door is open, we won't end up seeing anything we shouldn't."

Well, that was the idea, presumably.

[springforth]

"As much as I lacked my own space at home, I like to give others their own as much as possible, you know?" She shakes the bag, sounds like chips. But who would know, since it's just completely unhelpful. "How are you supposed to know what's in here? I'd kind of like to see the ingredients."

I suspect she's not going to find anything more specific than 'what chips sense like'; salt, etc.

Nita frowns.

"Let me have a look. Must be a good seal, if we can't smell it from here..."

[springforth]

Persephone hands it over, curious as to what she's going to do.

"Please don't open it, I was hoping to exchange it for clothing."

[unfavorableinstigation]

There's a look of concentration on Nita's face as she holds it, a few muttered words in the Speech, and:

"Not getting any sense of food dye in this bag. Just salt, fried potato... maybe some seasoning?"

No sense of what the flavor was, really. Nita hands it back.

"May as well open it whenever, then. Doubt you want to know how much salt is in it; they are chips."

She gives a knowing grin.

"Kind of spoils their deliciousness."
