[ Though they no longer need to come to the vending machines to eat, they still call to Ponta like a siren's song. Some of the drink options here make him think fondly of friends from home. Others... others are baffling.
Currently he is holding a bottle of... Vegan Goat Pus Lemonade? ]
... I wonder if anyone would even want to use a Bottleman of this....
[ He is deep in thought, staring this bottle down. Help break this spell, please. ]

[ this is how i learned there's an apple fanta?????
anyway, datz appears! and is suddenly leaning over ponta's shoulder to check out this bottle. ]
Hey, whatcha got there?
[ ...blinks. well. ok! ]
Huh! Is this a thing?? Sounds kinda nasty.
[ but not nasty enough to make him lose his appetite at all, as he takes a bite out of an apple. which he's probably crunching right in ponta's ear, i'm sorry. ]

[ Ponta doesn't startle at the sudden approach - though it makes him understand a little why others get so spooked by him showing up out of nowhere sometimes. Woops. ]
It shouldn't be a thing, but there's a fully stocked supply in there... Well, it being vegan makes it a little less concerning, I guess?

Maybe in this world, it does?
[ But one would really hope it doesn't. Acidic pus sounds impractical for any living organism. ]
I haven't tried it yet. Are you brave enough to make the leap with me, Mr. Datz?

[ Since they a) don't have cups and b) have infinite money anyway, it's time to make short work of it and obtain a second bottle of Vegan Goat Pus(tm) from the vending machines... Here you go, Datz. ]
Count of three, okay?

[ DOWN IT GOES, Ponta is keeping word and taking a sip as well and...
Well, that tastes of lemonade.
It's almost disappointing? ]
... now I just wonder why they brand it this way.

That's... pretty hard to argue with. It tastes good too. Like... solid 7/10?
[ There's better lemonade out there, surely, but this is pretty much exactly what you'd expect. ]

I'm just trying to imagine this band sponsoring someone... Hard to imagine filming an ad for goat pus...
[ Holy shit. Okay, that one cracks him up too. ]
Oh no, that's perfect! I can imagine they've already been approached with the offer, too...

You got it!
[ As he walks over, Ponta waves with the arm that's not carrying a basket. The contents of his basket are... increasingly expensive and outlandish ingredients rather than anything straight-forward. It's fine. ]
Whatever happens, people still gotta eat, right?

Hehe, that's the plan. I have a stack of secret recipes already, but one can never have enough!
[ Maybe there is such a thing as 'too complex to still be called a riceball' but he will smash that barrier when he gets to it. ]

I guess that's basically what I did, at home. Gotta see what the gang thinks of a new idea, after all!
[ Ah, friends from home.. ]
One of my buddies has just the brightest smile whenever he gets to try something new, it's inspiring!

[ well. not a good day.
at some point datz ends up at the vending machines since the convenience store's a smoldering crime scene now, but then he just kind of stands there because nothing looks any good at the moment and he doesn't know what the hell he thought he wanted when he came over here anyway. ]

[ The atmosphere in Fox house is off. Not only is Norma not there, all of the Foxes have found themselves holed up in their respective rooms. It's nothing like the bright communal warmth that Ponta had grown so used to in the last two weeks. So even as he hadn't planned on leaving his room at all until trial, the silence drives him outside anyway.
Maybe moving his feet will do him some good? Maybe.
And before he really knows it, he arrives at the vending machine, to stare at the labels that ring so familiar to him. He doesn't even like coke that much, but... Cota, what would you do?
Only he's not the first one here. Ponta has no smile in greeting today. ]
Hey. ...my condolences.

[ ah. he steps aside out of the way so that he's not blocking any of the machines when he's no closer to figuring out what he wants. instead he leans against the side of one of them, crossing his arms... and sighs. ]
...Yeah, same. Norma had a big presence, can't be easy to miss that.

[ Ponta does order a coke without much second thought. His eyes only very briefly drift to a bottle of milk tea instead.
Once he has the coke in his hands and opened, he doesn't feel much like drinking it though. ]
I was just with her... Before we all feel asleep, she was at the grocery store eating marshmallows with us. Now she's gone.
