[selfconcept]

Congratulations! You survived the first week of Personal Enrichment Class! Or at least, your body did if you feel like astral projecting. It's time to mingle with your fellow students after the Saturday lesson. Maybe get revenge. Or maybe you're going to your room right away. Either way, it's free time! Let loose. Go wild.

convenience store because like

[unsinksyourship]

[I truly do not know if Tamamori ever learned who his surfboard was. Considering the momentum of the Friday moment, PROBABLY NOT. At the moment, he's busily perusing the convenience store himself -- taking that many lessons in a row and expending so much creative energy really makes a guy peckish beyond compare.

His usual go-tos are the chips... the Calspi... and anything chocolate-like, chocolate-covered, chocolate-flavored... stuff with colorful packaging......... let's be real he has no idea what half this stuff is until he puts it in his mouth. It's free food. It's food for the eyes. What more could you ask for??

That said. THAT SAID. He has no fucking clue what instant ramen is nor how it works so he's just blatantly staring as Phantom goes for it.]

Mmm? Is that supposed to be ramen? Or a ramen-flavored drink? I'm not sure I'd trust noodles that have been sitting there for a week, you know!

[Somehow this is said pompously, though, like he knows what he's talking about.]

i read 'unconvenience store' which like, valid

[exofractured]

[Phantom pauses for a long moment. Is that voice familiar? Well, there'd been enough people talking during their lesson earlier. Everyone's voice is at least passingly familiar by now, so he's forced to let it go with a suspicious little glare.]

Ramen-flavored drink sounds revolting.

[What is wrong with other people's worlds, honestly?? He picks up another package and turns it to jab a finger at the best-by-date, also a little pompously. Never mind that he also was not acquainted with this before arriving! He's going to meet that tone head-on.]

They're clearly labelled. Do you not read?

[And he thinks these things may in fact be eternal. But maybe he wouldn't test that.]

if it were really a convenience store it would be a FamiMart

[unsinksyourship]

[The voice might be familiar, or it might not. Tamamori has always had trouble retaining things that don't interest him, so unfortunately unless someday the connection is made with the Grand Soapscapade, he might just never follow up on the familiarity.

But somehow, what stands out more is that there's something strangely and deeply annoying about this guy. Is it the attitude? Is it the pompousness? Is it the suspicious squint that he returns in spades?? Hm.]

I would think of myself as adventurous, but even I wouldn't try a ramen drink. (Unless you paid me.)

[Unfortunately, ramen-flavored drink would be the least of the food crimes where Tamamori comes from, probably. Luckily or not, for the moment they are stuck with this.]

Just because it's labeled like that doesn't mean it's entirely safe! Would anyone take anything here at face value?! I've never seen ramen in such packaging -- therefore, I'm forced to conclude it's not ramen.

It must be a bad imitation.

[exofractured]

[Perhaps all of those things. Perhaps it's just Phantom's natural charm, and the sort of friendly overtures he makes to maybe-strangers, such as:]

Then I would say you're more opportunistic than adventurous.

[Anyway. He returns that packet to the shelf, although he's still browsing a bit. Has he been through this area thoroughly already? Yes. But even with his admittedly low standards, there's always the hope something Better might materialize.]

It's a bit late to frame it as a question of trust when you must be eating something here. And leaping to conclusions on something you clearly know nothing about is [UNSCIENTIFIC] simple-minded.

[It's kind of not ramen though. Phantom's a little torn for the moment on whether to deny that or not.]
