What do people like on their pizza around here?

If you don't even know what pizza is, that's another thing altogether. It's bread with sauce, cheese, meat and/or veggies on it.

Will you be making any of the suggestions that may come from this?

[His voice retains that level and cold boredom it always seems to have, but there's a definite rise in tone that spoke of more interest than mere curiosity. It may even sound a little like (dun dun dun) anticipation. Yes. It seems he is already planning his next pizza snatching visit. Since the last one went so well.]

[Ah, it's this guy. LMAO.]

Maybe, if I feel like it. Plotting your next caper?

[yuezun]

This venerable one has no capers in mind.

[Pizza stealing was not a caper.]

When you next make one, you should inform this venerable one.

[standingonmyneck]

So you admit that I made something you like and you’d like some?

You’re going soft.

[yuezun]

This venerable one has no reason to lie over this matter. There is nothing soft in doing so.

[He sounds a just a little huffy. Why you gotta call him out like this?]

Will you or will you not tell this venerable one when you next make pizza?

[How hard are you gonna make it for him to steal his next slice?]

[standingonmyneck]

I might tell you.


You have to ask nicely first.

[yuezun]

This venerable one is being nice.

[standingonmyneck]

If the venerable one wants to be invited to have some of my wares, he needs to ask politely.

[yuezun]

...what is your definition of polite if this does not qualify?

[He's not even demanding yet!]

[standingonmyneck]

Say “please”, or “may I have some”.

[yuezun]

[. . .]

This venerable one would like to have some pizza when you make it.

[That counts, right?]

[standingonmyneck]

[.....Acceptable. Sucker. Haha.]

Of course you may, thank you for asking.

[yuezun]

Then you will tell this venerable one when you make it next?

[Because she hadn't technically agreed to tell him. Yet.]

[moremystyle]

[FINAL FANTASY V DOES, IN FACT, REFERENCE PIZZA.]

Anchovies.

[standingonmyneck]

You are a bold and brave soul to say this. Many would be screaming at you right now.

[moremystyle]

Aye, and if they think they can stop me they've got another thing coming. I'll down a pie full of 'em.

[standingonmyneck]

Right in front of them. Make them watch.

[gr1m]

Smoked ham or bacon, red onion, and pineapple.

[After making himself scare all month... this is what has him peer out.]

[standingonmyneck]

[Something something pizza is magic and the only that gets her social most of the time as well. Other than books.]

Scholars say smoked ham goes well with pineapple. Peasants scoff at pineapple.

[gr1m]

[Pizza, bringing so many out because it's always good— even when it's not, so the saying goes.

Probably.]

There's reason you find all sorts of pork cooked with pineapple. Adds that sweet and tangy zing, and all pulls together with the cheese and sauce.

Good shit.

[standingonmyneck]

Real gourmand over here. Doubt you’d find that at any regular pizza chain.

[gr1m]

All the more a pity- but with the know how, can at east make it yourself.

Usually end up with more for yourself as well.

[standingonmyneck]

What a coincidence, as I've been making them myself. Though it's been more due to lack of options more than anything else.

[...She enjoyed it though, shhh.]

[gr1m]

When it comes to pizza? Sometimes you do what you gotta do. Take it you're not doing bad if you're asking about toppings.

Still, not surprising there isn't a place around that serves pizza. Flatbrad with toppings maybe, but that could be as close as some food places get.

[standingonmyneck]

Flatbread is for people who want to pretend they live in Beverly Hills with the delusion that they're eating higher class cuisine.

[gr1m]

If that ain't the truth of it majority of the time. Even harder when you're halfway across the world and craving pizza, but the places only know flatbread as it.

[standingonmyneck]

And then, surprise! It’s also twice as much.

[gr1m]

The price point just another hit with getting topping'd flatbread instead of the pizza you crave. The double whammy.

[ Huh. Now this is an interesting one... ]

It's pretty rare to get pizza where I live, it's more common in urban areas. I have had it before though.

I usually prefer going with beef, teriyaki chicken or seafood, but mayo, potato and corn is pretty common where I'm from.

[standingonmyneck]

I hear this is pretty run of the mill in some places in Japan.

Re: text

[detectiveforhierophant]

Got it in one. Guess you're from the USA?

[ That sort of question just seemed like something you'd ask if you were from the USA... ]

[standingonmyneck]

Could you smell my disaffection from capitalism and McDonald’s across the shell line?

Text

[detectiveforhierophant]

Something like that, Though we have both over here too.

[ Hm. Sarcastic but smart. Probably a teenager or young adult...? ]

Even have our own box stores ruining the local rural economy.

[ He's seen some American tv, after all. ]

[standingonmyneck]

Ah, yes, because what says a bursting first world society more than Walmarts and CEOs' trickle down economics?

[Young adult, but that sass will be with her until she's dead.]

[detectiveforhierophant]

Exactly.

The store we have is called Junes. Pronounced June-Ness. My kid loves it for some reason, and can't say it's not handy to have around, but it always feels like shopping there is a deal with the devil.

Mind if I ask when you're from?

[standingonmyneck]

I don’t think morality should be completely attached to the consumer. After all, you didn’t build Walmart or push mom and pops out. You don’t make enough money to do that yourself.

It was the year 2005.

[detectiveforhierophant]

Good point. You can only do so much when when you got other forces pressing in on you.

[ ...very smart, and good at nuanced thinking.

And oh, huh-- ]

We're not too far apart then. 2012 for me. Was your version of Earth particularly mundane or more on the supernatural side?

[ Odd question, but someone talking so casually about pizza and Walmarts just... rang as if someone grasping onto normalcy, like him. ]

You ever have shrimp on pizza? It's great.

text

[standingonmyneck]

Sure. Especially since I've been on my own. It's decent.

Shrimp has been banned from my house when I aligned them as sea cockroaches due to being bottom feeders one night.

[melodiouspacifist]

What's the big deal about that? I mean they are bottom feeders. I know my fish. I went to Atlantica.

[standingonmyneck]

That's what I said.

I guess weaker stomachs and all can't stand to know where their food comes from.

[melodiouspacifist]

Yeah, I don't get it. How do people not know where their food comes from? It's pretty normal, isn't it?

[standingonmyneck]

My guess is it’s TMI, depending who you ask.

That said, I only don’t recommend doing that for fast food places.

[melodiouspacifist]

Man, that's just people ignoring things for no reason.
