[ Well, get better scrub. He's not moving immediately but he'll start walking before she catches on that he might've been waiting for her to catch her breath. ]

I want to see how long it's been since somebody's been here. Map said there was a grocery store in here.

[willynilly]

[She's working on it!!! Still working on the nausea, too, but at least that's much better than it used to be. As evidence by her making it all this way without puking.

She straightens up at last and jogs after him, glancing around. Yeah, definitely eerie.]

There's probably still food here... just like everywhere else.

[allfight]

Duh. Point is trying to see if any of the food has a best before date.

[ SO FAR... no such luck. But if he can find it, then that'll help figure out a timeline, right? And if there's none then he really doesn't trust any of this for shit. ]

[willynilly]

I haven't noticed any. Most of the food is actually really fresh, though.

[Like walking into a bakery or something- newly made and nice-smelling. It's eerie without the people in the shop to greet you.]

[allfight]

[ It's not getting any less creepy from here. He strides in, hands at the ready. ]

If there are no people then whose putting it there. [ Ngh. ] Probably isn't fucking safe to eat, either.

[willynilly]

So you haven't eaten anything, then?

[Not surprising- Bakugou's naturally a suspicious person from what she's observed.]

[allfight]

What kind of idiot eats food that's just laying out in the open!?

[willynilly]

.....Umm... about half the fleet, I guess!

[She's tried a few things already. Sorry not sorry.]

[allfight]

THAT'S SOMETHING CHILDREN KNOW NOT TO DO! THOSE STUPID FUCKS!

[ WHY ]

[willynilly]

Uhhhh-huh.

[She plugs the ear closest to him and picks up the pace, peering into the window.]

Ah, look at it all! Fresh bread and pastries right at the front door!

[allfight]

[ how does no one see this is fucked up!??????!!!!

he's stalking inside, grumbling under his breath. ]

[willynilly]

[She scoots in and beelines for the display, grabbing the biggest, freshest, crunchiest loaf she can find, lifting it up and pressing it under her nose.]

Ugh, and it smells so good, too... once you're stuck in the fleet long enough without fresh food, you'll eat anything! I kinda can't blame anyone for digging in.

[She pointedly does not eat this one, though, because yeah, he's right. There's something seriously sketchy about the whole situation, and it's bound to go topsy-turvy eventually. Plus she doesn't want him screaming at her.

Instead she cracks it over a knee, examining under the crust. Still as tasty looking, still as nice-smelling... damn.]

[allfight]

Quit tempting yourself, idiot! You don't know what's in that!

[ Hm... Nosing around, poking through the bakery. There's a back room over there.

Don't mind him casually kicking the door in. ]

[willynilly]

[Aaaand he yells at her anyway. Typical.]

Why do you think I was looking, geez! You never know with this place.

[She huffs and dumps the bread, scampering off after him to peer into the room. Looks like... storage?]

I kinda expected a kitchen.

[allfight]

[ A grunt of acknowledgement. But...

There's no actual point in sniffing around alone if Uraraka is trailing after him. He steps further inside and checks for a light. ]

Bet the actual kitchen has never been used, if there is one.

[willynilly]

Mm. It's... weird that everything's so clean, isn't it? Like... there were never people here at all.

[STILL... SO... CREEPY...]

[allfight]

Like a simulation.

[ And if that isn't a nod to get the fuck out of here, he doesn't know what is. ]

[willynilly]

Ah! Yeah, you're right, that's just how it feels! Like those city blocks back at UA... all empty except for us.
