Some food is made to look at. Eating with your eyes, is I think how it goes.

Maybe it is here to make us feel better.

[outdistanced]

Sounds like a waste of food.

The clothes made me feel a lot better than cutesy little snacks. [ ... ] Probably wouldn't hurt to try it, though.

[boxcar]

You would probably not say that if you were starving.

What do you want? A bear bread?

[outdistanced]

[ ??? ]

Okay? But I'm not.

Sure, why not. Let's try the bear bread.

[boxcar]

Exactly. It's hard to miss things as long as you have it. It's a good thing.

[ Anyway goes to get what appears to be a cute bear shaped bread, in the Rilakkuma style.

Turns out there's more. ]

[outdistanced]

I guess so.

[ his mind wanders for a moment while marcoh retrieves the bread but when he returns, laurence looks at this bread. looks at marcoh. back at the bread. back at marcoh. ]

Why does it kind of look like you...

[boxcar]

[ Goes into shock. ]

Me?

...

I think the head is maybe wrong?

[outdistanced]

Right, you're not a bear. The ears are off.

[ just the ears? ]

But the rest...

[boxcar]

[ Honestly he isn't going to deny this he's not an A+ in Humility. That being said he's not sure what to do about this. ]

I can take the body off.

[ He doesn't. He feels bad about ripping the head off the body. ]

[outdistanced]

It's fine. There's no point in wasting it.

[ it's... kind of funny... he keeps looking between the two of them and thinking he shouldn't laugh, but...... ]

[boxcar]

[ Offers the buff bear to Laurence. ]

[outdistanced]

[ accepts the bear ]

...Why'd they make it like this, anyway?

[ this feels weird and awkward actually ]

[boxcar]

It's... funny?

[ Definitely in the tone of a guy who isn't totally sold on this as his brand of humour but he's trying his best to vibe with it. ]

It doesn't look like bad food though. Not stale. Not mouldy.

[outdistanced]

[ okay that's the second time he's said something weird about food. laurence tears off an arm to munch on, but right before he pops it in his mouth, he has to ask: ]

Are you used to having issues with food or something?

[boxcar]

Yes.

[ QUITE FRANKLY. ]

There were some struggles growing up. Not that bad in late days except the last city I was in before I came here, where I was stuck unexpectedly. Supplies were low.

[outdistanced]

...Oh. [ chews awkwardly. ] Sorry.

I guess it's really a good thing we won't starve here, then.

[boxcar]

Don't be.

[ It's truly Fine energy. ]

I agree. And now it looks like we also have rooms, clothes. Even luxury.

Still nobody to answer to, but things could be much worse.

[outdistanced]

It's a little disorienting compared to yesterday... but it's nice to have something more normal.

[ even if all of this is still SUPER WEIRD to him. ]

What if... we're just alone here? There were those gift boxes, but we haven't heard anything from someone who might've left them here with us. What if there is no one else?

[boxcar]

Someone had to put these boxes together and change our clothes.

[ Someone made us sexy. ]

If there really is no one... then we have each other at least. We can figure it out.

[outdistanced]

Yeah, but they could've just left us here, too.

[ what if they're the cats left out in the rain with only a cardboard box for a home! ]

...Do you really think that? Even with how some of them keep wrecking things?

[boxcar]

[ We turn the cardboard house into a cardboard home. ]

I don't expect every single person to agree and get along but I think most probably would prefer it. If it is a matter of figuring out what we are doing here or if there's a way out then the people acting out probably will go along too.

[outdistanced]

[ laurence looks a little doubtful. ]

I hope you're right. And that we figure that out soon so they'll chill out already. Seriously, if we're really dead, why would they just make it worse?

[boxcar]

Common goals bring people together...

[ He has a slight frown on his face. ]

Mostly.

[outdistanced]

It's the ones it doesn't that I'm worried about.

[boxcar]

Those are the ones we will handle if it comes down to it.

[ Looking slightly grim. ]

I don't make the same mistake again.
