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.

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... ]

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

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?

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. ]
