[She brings a couple packages over to the register, then to a counter off to the side. There's a microwave and a hot water dispenser here. That would be helpful if they were reading instructions, but Estelle just opens up a package to show the noodles.]
They're completely dry. I suppose that's good for preserving them?
[ it would be helpful if they looked at instructions and stopped for long enough to go "hey why is there a microwave and hot water dispenser here it's almost like they need them for something" but no. ]
It must be? They'd just be floppy and soggy otherwise, right? [ he'll snap a piece off and c r o n c h it. hmmm. ]
Maybe…. but we don’t know what the “right” way would be…
[ guys there’s a clue. there’s a clue right there. guys. guys? ]
Ah. No, I don’t. But admittedly, I’ve been working on a don’t ask and no one asks me sort of system right now. Why, are you looking for someone who does?
I was just thinking about a friend who's injured... They don't want to use a staff heal, when we need them on Thursdays and sometimes Sundays. We've been using up all their slots week after week...
Oh, but I wouldn't expect someone to do it just as a favor. I'd be willing to give or do something in exchange.
... You're right. I went and got two before I realized the downsides to relying too much on the staff for healing...
Anyway, I know most people keep their powers close to their chest, but if you happen to hear something, I'd appreciate if you could mention I was looking.
[She nods.] It could just be that very few people actually have the power... Virgo sounded annoyed that we weren't making as much use of it as they'd expected.

Nothing quite like this, no. But as the name suggests it does seem... convenient?
[ he looks much more relaxed today. I WONDER WHY. ]

"Instant noodles"... That sounds convenient. They feel so hard and dry, though.

...... Oh, oops. There was something else in here. [Pulling out a tiny packet.] Seasoning...?
no subject
... How are we meant to put seasoning on dry noodles?
no subject
[She opens the bag wide and pours the spice on top of those noodles. Then she breaks off a piece and eats it...
and makes a face.]
...... I think that was too much spice.

[...
Yeah that's kind of the obvious conclusion, isn't it?
She nods.]

You're aware of my own key situation. Fair's probably fair.
[ hmm. ]
I can only imagine you wouldn't be asking if you had use of the power yourself -- or a current use, at least.
no subject
Anyway, I know most people keep their powers close to their chest, but if you happen to hear something, I'd appreciate if you could mention I was looking.
no subject
Will do. Although I do think people are quick enough to offer up their wares, so to speak. No one really likes seeing everyone get hurt.

I wonder why.
