[He'd just been out for his ingredients with Saki, but they'd gone on without Garry and Garry apparently wanted Once-ler to head to the store with him. Well, far be it for him to deny a present on his birthday; he'd agreed to head out again. Aside from what he'd come to think of as 'usual activity', nothing too bad had happened the first time, so he figured it'd be a quiet night.

The automatic doors swept open with a pleasant 'ting as they went in. Once-ler was pleased to see the lights were all still on, and that all the fresh produce that was lined up looked good even at this time. That didn't mean it still would be when they left the store, but that was always a chance, wasn't it?

It was less of a chance with items that weren't food. Like most grocery stores he knew, they also had toiletries, some first aid supplies, a few household cleaners, one or two films or movies. Once-ler sneaked a glance at one of them, expecting them to be all horror movies. To his surprise, a few looked like romcoms.]

You could almost pretend you weren't in a haunted town in here, huh? [He smiles, looking around at the store.] What're we getting here?

That's a secret! Even if you're right beside me when I get it all... [ Garry just chuckles, tilting his head in that usual way he does.

...he's never gone shopping with a fire poker held firmly in his right hand, though. he's worried how this is starting to feel 'normal' - so much for looking for jobs around the city and getting expensive coffee and candy at his favourite shops.

now he had to live off cheap bagged coffee, and whatever candy sounded okay in the store. the cheap cigarettes looked more and more appealing as the days went by. ]

I think it was in this section... [ ah there they were - eggs. he winces at them carefully, holding them up to the light. ]

Is there any way to tell if they're uh...gross...inside?
