[wtfox]

Yeah, me too! It'd be, um, bad.

[ercnerd]

Bad is one way to describe it . . .

[His tone takes a contemplative turn.]

What's going to happen to this dimension once it returns us?

[wtfox]

...I mean, hopefully it won't go and drag a bunch of other people here...

[ercnerd]

Does that mean we should break it? . . . It should stop if we deal with the one responsible for starting it in the first place, right?

[wtfox]

In theory, yeah. It should. If it's, like, a person.

But if it's just this world itself...

[ercnerd]

. . . Then we'll just have to tear it apart, piece by piece.

[wtfox]

...yeah! That's also an option.

[ercnerd]

[Nodding, he climbs onto his feet and stretches his back.]

Now that we've explored the possibilities, it's time for some food. Have you eaten yet?

[wtfox]

[time for applesauce...]

Not yet... it's kind of hard to get excited about the food here.

[ercnerd]

The food's not the most appetizing, but you shouldn't skip a meal if you can help it . . . not that it's much of a meal.

[wtfox]

It's less of a meal and more, like, assorted snacks.

[SIGHS.]

I want to eat actually decent food again.

[ercnerd]

It does get tiring, eating the same thing all the time.

[wtfox]

I swear, if I go back home and someone puts applesauce in front of me, I'm throwing it in the trash.

[ercnerd]

You don't have to go that far. Just give it to someone else.

[wtfox]

I'd feel like I was torturing them if I did...

[ercnerd]

They might like it.

[He moves to leave the room.]

At least get something to drink if you don't want to snack. It'll help the hunger.

[wtfox]

[she follows!]

A juice box, then. Yaaaayyy.

[ercnerd]

You could at least try to sound a little enthused.

[wtfox]

It's hard to be... school lunches were way better where I came from. This is just...

[icky]

[ercnerd]

. . . not much of a lunch.

[One small blessing is that it doesn't take long enough to get anywhere, here. Once they're in the heart of the daycare, he moves to grab a drink.]

At this rate, our bodies will suffer.

[wtfox]

[she snags a juicebox and stabs the straw into the top of it so she can sip]

...maybe this world is trying to keep us weak for some reason.

[ercnerd]

I can think of a few reasons if that's the case.

[Opening the carton, he takes a sip of the juice.]

[wtfox]

[angrily sips at her juicebox]

Well, if that's what it wants, that's not what it's gonna get. [spite!!] Where's the applesauce. I'll eat some.

[ercnerd]

They should be in the usual place.

[He isn't interested in breaking fast that way, but she's more than welcome to.]

[wtfox]

[grumpily grabs some applesauce and a plastic spoon]
