show_my_cannons | 13 - [Video] / Action for Goldenrod

[Somewhere in Goldenrod, there is a cafe. Or a take out place. Either way, it's currently being invaded by a giant alien robot turned human. Since he arrived, he's been surviving on the Pokemon world's version of energy bars. So, for the first time, he's gone to find some "real food".]

[The 'gear turns on to show the big man crowded at a small table, looking down, somewhat skeptically, at an equally large sandwich. Seriously, it's almost the size of his face.]

[He manages to pick it up. Stares at it. Veeeeeeeeeeery cautiously, he takes a bite out of it.]

[There's a beat of silence, as he looks at it again. His expression suggests he has just tasted the best thing ever on the face of the earth and he's having a hard time not shoving it all into his face. It probably looks absolutely bizarre to anyone who isn't aware that he was not always human.]

[And within the next few minutes, half the sandwich is quickly devoured. You'd think he hadn't eaten in weeks. That's when he pauses, and regards the flashing red light.]

... Fine. You win.

[Who is he speaking to? Who knows. This is just a very pleased Autobot.]

Tried... what?

_{[SHE'LL TAKE THAT AS A NO.]}

Okay, ol' man, listen real close.

You go up there to the counter right now.

And be like: GIVE ME FRENCH FRIES.

... Well, no, you should probably say it more politely, but you get the idea. Go. Do it. This is important.

Why is this important? I have food already.

TRUST me on this, okay?

_{[Just do it, man. You know she's going to bother you until you do.]}

Are you going to harass me until I do this?

Yes.

...

Fine.

_{[YESSSSS.]

[She will wait.]

[YOU'LL SEE, IRONHIDE.]}

[Okay fine.]

[He'll be back in a minute or two. Looking dubiously at these things.]

... They supposed to look like this?

Yep!

Try one.

Do it.

[Okay fine. He does.]

[And makes a face.]

It tastes of nothing.

... What?

... Did they not put salt on it?

[He gives the 'gear a blank look.]

[Heather. What does salt even... taste like.]

... Okay. Um.

Is there a little shaker thingie on your table?

If there's white grainy stuff in it, that's salt. If the fries DON'T taste like that, there's no salt on them.

.... And don't put too much of it in your mouth at once, salt is awesome but too much of it is kinda nasty.
