BELIEVERS NEVER DIE

Stahl was a glutton and he had common sense, but sometimes the first trait took over a bit too much. The result was his strange habit to pick up all kinds of things and wonder if they were edible. Different places had different cuisines, so why should there not be at least one country where you could eat the flowers he just picked up? 

    “Huh, I wonder if they’ll taste good if you put some syrup on them?” Someone should stop him, asap.

Masaomi knew how to mind his own business, but every so often he couldn’t help but overhear other people talking. He certainly didn’t mean to pry! It was natural to happen to pay attention when he heard people talk around him. Just like it was totally natural to do a double take when he heard the stranger holding flowers express a desire to eat them.

“Ah— whoa, buddy!” The blond normally wouldn’t have interfered, but he did well enough in biology to know that most lilies weren’t fit for eating–and he wouldn’t trust any plant grown in this place anyway.

“Dude, if you’re that hungry, you could just go to the store. Do you need a few dollars or something?”

“……”

This menu was…rather lacking, was it not? She was aware that “street food,” as it was called, was generally a quick snack or meal meant for those on the go, but…how could she know what to order when there were so many options and variations, yet so few descriptions of what each menu option included? Was it perhaps common knowledge amongst civilians? It was possible. Though Miyako had been aware of the existence of businesses such as this, she had never actually visited one, let alone eaten at one, personally.

She had been whisked away into foreign territory–both figuratively and literally–so perhaps it might be best to enlist the aid of one more familiar with this type of establishment…? She could recall hearing that fast food was popular amongst students, so…maybe the boy that had entered just before her…–?

“… Excuse me. I apologize for the sudden question, but if it is not too much trouble…could you please explain to me what precisely a ‘Big Mac’ is?”

[goldmind]

There was something incredibly unnerving about a McDonald’s in some foreign, obviously-not-on-earth city. Like it was some sort of half-hearted attempt to make the place more familiar to those who arrived there. That was to say, more familiar to those who had a McDonald’s back home. It was plain to see that there was a fair share of people who didn’t.

...But if you can’t beat ‘em, you might as well join ‘em. And that’s exactly what Masaomi did when he detoured straight through the doors. The fries were addicting, he couldn’t just not eat them.

The teen had little time to look at the menu before he heard the voice behind him. It certainly didn’t take long for him to meet one of those people who had no McDonald’s in their home, but upon turning around Masaomi could see that she certainly didn’t look like someone from a far away land. The uniform was kind of costume-y, but she looked pretty normal otherwise.

And moreover, sort of stunning!

It had been awhile since he had done this song and dance, but it seemed like the proper thing to cheer him up after basically being abducted.

“The only troubling thing here is your innocence! The Big Mac is kind of a big deal, you know? It’s not gourmet or anything, but more like an icon for modern food culture--there’s no image quite like a tray perfectly arranged with a burger, fries and drink. Excuse me--” His attention turned from the female to the cashier on a dime. “Can I get two Big Mac meals to stay, please?”

Apologies for the can of worms.
