[Steven broadcasts a video from the inn room where he is. He looks like he's in good spirits and has several items laid out on the table.]

Hey everyone! It's me, Steven Quartz Universe. I got some neat things from ALISTAIR lately! I got my phone, my Cheeseburger Backpack... [He indicates a smartphone and... well, a Cheeseburger Backpack.]

Aaand we got a special surpise, too! {He takes out a container of food.] If you guessed that it's a sad meal, you're way wrong. Itttt's a happy meal! And I haven't done an unboxing video since I left home, so I think it's time I did one here for all of you here in Chantes! Okay, let's see what we got.

[He reaches into the bag and pulls out some french fries.]

First, we got some french fries. Nice, nice - they're a cornerstone of any happy meal! It just wouldn't be the same without them. [He nibbles on one.] And it's good! Well, it's kind of greasy, but in the tasty way! And it has just the right amount of salt. This is what you want in french fries, people!

[He reaches back in and pulls out a cheeseburger.]

A cheeseburger! Nice. This is like the main event of a happy meal. It's cheesy, it's a burger. Where could you go wrong? It was a nice touch it make it a cheeseburger, too, so it matches my backpack! To think it's been so long since I've had one... I don't think that it has long in this world! [He giggles as he sets it down.] That's the main event of the happy meal. Except there's something even main-er! Let's see if I got one...

[He reaches in and pulls out a toy wrapped up in plastic wrap.]

Yesss!! It comes with a toy! And even better, it's of Dogcopter! That's so great! [He hugs the toy close to him and then settles down.]

Well, that does it for my first unboxing video as part of ALISTAIR. This happy meal gets... a 4 out of 5 stars, I think! Thanks for watching, and... let's keep doing our best for this mission, alright? [He gives a cheesy smile and a thumbs up before he cuts out the video.]

[Steven sets the cheeseburger down and also places his chin flatly on the table as he stares at it, speaking in a voice filled with awe.]

Just look at it! It looks so pretty and tasty... It feels like it would be a crime to get it with a bite! Like... disrupting the harmony of the universe!

[bougy]

Well, I've never seen anything quite like it. I can't quite imagine what it might taste like. But it must be good, if eating it would be a crime against the natural order. ( is she asking him to be a food critic? pretty much. )

[jamminshield]

It really is! It's a whole lot of good tastes put together into one package! [He lifts the top piece of bread and starts to indicate each layer.] You got the ooey gooey cheese, the sizzled meat patty, some nice little lettuce for a soft landing, and then buns are like the nice pillows that tuck it all in!

[He gives a sympathetic look towards the feed.] I'm sorry you've never seen one before. That's really something to miss out on!

[bougy]

Well. ( that's really quite poetic. ) It seems like a nicer version of a sandwich. Smaller maybe, but I get the feeling that a happy meal is more about quality than quantity. ( or maybe meant for younger consumers? she's not quite got enough of a grasp on cultural differences to understand marketing to children. and though the toy could be a good indicator, she's actually thinks it's cute. )

At least you're willing to share the experience. Is there anything you'd change about it? Maybe add some spices?

[jamminshield]

Um... Yeah! Those are all good ways of putting it. In the end, it's all about making kids happy! [He beams.]

I'm not sure if I'd change anything. I like to take burgers for what they are! But, I guess it could be even tastier if there was some bacon in the mix!

[bougy]

A good goal indeed. ( she can't help but smile in response. ) I see why it's called a happy meal.

Now that sounds amazing. I'd suggest picking some up here, if that cheeseburger has that long for this world. ( another smile. ) Though, to be fair, the least ALASTAIR could have done would've been to throw in a few pieces if they knew you would've wanted it. Tsk, tsk.

[jamminshield]

I know, right? But I guess they're not psychic after all, or maybe they just don't pay attention...

Don't worry. Maybe I can see if any of the chefs around here can make bacon... and burgers! Wouldn't that be great?

[bougy]

I think their company motto is something like, 'a job worth doing is best done halfway.' Medium rare? Or they're just lazy. It's not like a few extra bits of bacon would've killed them.

Now that's a venture I'd be willing to buy a stake in.

[jamminshield]

You're right. I guess they're really slacking.

[Then he smirks and goes on slyly.]

What a coincidence. When I'm hungry, I'm willing to buy a steak anywhere!

[bougy]

That's putting it nicely. But, one day, once I figure out how what exact esoteric ritual I must perform in order file a complaint with them, I'll be sure to let them know how poorly being stingy with bacon reflects on them. Honestly.

( she shrugs, and then grins. he's a fellow after her own heart, talking like that. ) Now that could never be a mis-steak even if we're in the middle of Maker-knows-where.

[jamminshield]

I trust you! Honestly and truly, Hawke! I know you'll do what you have to.

[He salutes and chuckles at her counter-pun.]

You really know what you're talking about! I like your style... You can make a conversation feel very high-steaks!

[bougy]

This duty is an honour, Mr Universe.

Perhaps you might say that the steaks have been raised. Food is after all a very rich matter. Which I can see you appreciate.

[jamminshield]

[He snorts at the word 'duty', but he won't bring attention to that.]

And I know you're worhty of it!

Heheh... I guess so! Hey, your jokes are really well done!

[bougy]

( it's a bit of a shame, she knows a joke or two along those lines. no fruit is too low hanging tbh. )

You're too kind. You're certainly not unworthy yourself.

Which is why I'll make sure that they. I don't want you to have any beef with me. Or to have a cow over some terrible pun.
