but where do you go to get your fries and shake? McDonald's? Wendy's? BK?

[scrimshanding]

✔

usually, i get them from this place from home.
big belly burger? don't suppose you heard of it.
but wendy's is the next best thing. tho i usually mix and match.
what about you?

[bikinimail]

never heard of it. must not be a NEPA thing.
wendy's has the best shakes, but I like BK's fries better.

[scrimshanding]

nepa? where's that?
and that's why i'm all about the mix and match
when i can get away with it.
there's just something about bk fries and wendy's milkshakes.
if you can't have a bbb combo it's the next best thing.
mcd's used to be my second favorite fries
but lately i feel like they're just dumping fried potatoes in salt.

[bikinimail]

sorry. northeast Pennsylvania. it's where I'm from.
McDonald's fries are just gross. they get cold way too fast and then they're just inedible potato-like mush.

[scrimshanding]

now that I've read it, that makes a lot of sense.
this your first time doing something like this? the whole other dimension thing.
okay, fair. but when they're warm they're the best with a shake.
or they used to be.

[bikinimail]

actually, no. but this place is way better than the place I was at before.
the fact that the people here know what french fries and milkshakes are makes it instantly 1000% better.

[scrimshanding]

then that's great that you ended up here.
have you tried the ones here yet?
if you have, what do you recommend?

[bikinimail]

I haven't had the chance to yet. I'll have to try it and report back.

[scrimshanding]

i appreciate you taking one for the team.

[ your sacrifice is noted, jen. fingers crossed no tastebuds die in the effort. ]


but if you don't mind the company
we could go together

[ She smiles, reading his text. Very smooth. But then she bites her lip and texts back, ]

I have a boyfriend. he's not here, but... jsyk.

[scrimshanding]

got it. offer still stands, if you're interested. i won't say no to making new friends.
and i definitely won't say no to fries and shakes.

[bikinimail]

definitely won't say no to fries and shakes. I'd love to go, just as friends.

[scrimshanding]

i'll meet you there?
just tell me when.

I don't understand some of the things you mentioned but I recently discovered fries. They actually taste good in a shake?

[scrimshanding]

lost's a tv show and bond is a movie franchise. and mechanic means I work with machines.
does that help any?
man, do they ever!
i mean, all right. not everyone's a fan.
but most people i know end up loving it once they've tried it.

[ferdi]

A bit, yes. Thank you.

I will have to try it the next time I get fries. I don't get them often, they are quite heavy.

[scrimshanding]

no problem
if you've got anymore questions, feel free to ask.
mind my asking when you're from?

yeah, i mean, you got a point there.
especially if you're not used to them
and considering all the extra stuff restaurants usually add.
the milkshake might make that a little worse
but definitely try at least a little.

[ferdi]

1934.

It will certainly be a nice treat one day I'm sure.

[scrimshanding]

things here have got to be a bit of a whiplash.
you settling in okay?

yeah, definitely. let me know what you think whenever you
decide to try it out!

[ferdi]

In some ways but there are things that are familiar. I am still adjusting to the new technologies but I'm much better than I was at first.

I certainly will.

[scrimshanding]

it's kinda cool seeing how things change, or don't, through the years.

[ it was one of jax's favorite things about time travel. ]

yeah, i don't doubt that. all of it's just practice and you'll be pulling out textspeak in no time.

[ferdi]

That is true. It appears, even though the method has changed, the basics of how people want to interact and the things they want are mostly the same.

That might take a bit more time.

[scrimshanding]

exactly! just a lot faster.

[ a. LOT. ]

what've you got so far? if you don't mind my asking.

[ferdi]

Got of what, exactly?

[ Translation: not much at all. ]
