Tumblr Academy reimagined

((I'm playing a video game and I'm distracted.))

"No idea. Food court?"

"Okay," I replied.

I nodded and led the way.

I followed after him. "Are all stores like this?" I asked him, looking around the mall.

"Kinda, yeah."

"Wow." I was used to small street vendors and tiny indoor stores, not this.

"I know, overwhelming, isn't it?"

"Definitely," I agreed.

I led the way into the food court. "Which type of animal do you prefer to eat, or do you not like to eat meat?"

I paused. "When you phrase the question like that it seems a little brutal," I replied. "Anyway, I like deer or beef. Rabbit is pretty good, too," I recalled, remembering the rabbit stew that Will had made a while ago.

"Well, they don't serve deer or rabbit casually in places like this, however, beef will work. People in this world love beef. A healthier alternative is chicken... most of the time. Packed with protein, but you'll find plenty of protein in peanut butter, too. However, people here go without meat, and that's cool, too. That's their choice. I'm just not one of those people."

"Huh," I mumbled uncertainly, not quite knowing what to say.

"Yep. So, beef? That translates to burgers here." I led him to one of the burger joints around.

"Alright," I replied.

I picked one I liked and walked over to it. "Hey, do you like lettuce, tomatoes, any veggies?"

"Yeah," I replied. "I'm not picky."

"Have you ever had ham before?"

"Yeah," I replied. "Why?"

"I doubt there was any bacon in your universe, but it's like ham, just better."

"Huh."

"Do you want me to put bacon on your burger?"

"Sure." I shrugged.

I nodded and ordered his burger with fries. The fries were for me. I didn't want a burger, I was getting some pizza.

I watched as he ordered. Even the way restaurants were run were so different from how you'd get food from a tavern or inn.

I got a ticket and went over to the pizza parlor.
