[Joe is wearing a Portside Aces baseball cap, NV propped up on another greasy table in the Underground Mall's food court. There's the crinkle of fast food paper, the slurping noise of an oversized fountain drink, and milling-about sounds of a busy afternoon. The boy sighs glumly, unsure where to start. There's a lot of restless anger brewing in the piercing cyan of his eyes, but it's tempered down since his raging fits of last week. He seems tired, like he hasn't been getting the best sleep.]
One week we have a newcomer business convention, the next week newcomer businesses are burning down, and it feels like more and more people keep disappearing.
I really hate it, when it feel like everything's changing for the worst. Maybe they think they can keep us all down and playing by their rules when there's less of us. [A lower sigh of resolve, then-]
But I won't stop fighting.
It's really not fair these mall businesses always seem to be safe. (I mean, besides the big darkness breach that happened around this time last year, but-) Why are only some places left alone when they're not taking sides between AGI or SERO? Can somebody tell me that? The Underground Mall Clubs Association... how do you get in on something like that? Do you have to be a native with lots of munny?
[Joe reaches and tilts his NV so that it shows newest addition to the foodcourt behind him, a bustling counter service with a long line, thick hand-cut fries, and a round serving station filled with several dozen condiment pumps and bowls of relish. Sitting on his tray in front of him are five plastic cups of very different dipping sauces, ]
...and can somebody tell me why 'pomme frites' are so much more special than french fries that they're charging nine bucks for a paper cone?
[He sticks a fingertip in one of the cups in front of him, sampling a dollop with a casual shrug] The sauces are pretty delicious to try, at least.
Poutine.... [he points at the gravy on his far right, then goes right down the line of red hot, yellow, green, speckled white-] "War Sauce", Sweet Mango Chutney, Wasabi-Lime Mayo, Parmesan Peppercorn. So much for plain ketchup! (And this is just 5 of 42 they've got. It reminds me of ice cream flavors.)
[He shakes his head, giving a dry smile and a roll of his eyes.]
Everything's gotta be a good gimmick to be original, huh.

Tell me more. How did they taste? Which sauces did you try? ... Man, I'm getting hungry.

The lime-wasabi mayo's the best. Hot, but tangy, but not too hot because it's mayo. The Chili-Mango's also hot, and sweet. It's got some kind of green flakey bits in it too, I can't tell what that's supposed to be. Parsley or something?
