voice | you still hate time travel

[ordinarily]

Okay, so.

Am I going crazy, or do I see more kids than usual?

Like, okay, I know I don't pay a lot of attention, and I usually just stay in the Nasty Burger and all. But I know the Legion makes a big deal about having to be fourteen to be an adult or something, so uh.

Anyone wanna help me out here? Or should I just default to blaming time travel?

Because I'm perfectly fine with just blaming time travel.

[ A pause. ]

... Actually, you know what? I'm just gonna blame time travel.

Oh, um... I uh... have a bunch of robots make them?

[ Okay he should probably explain. ]

Alright, so, I made my biome a fast food place, and I asked the people in charge if I could have robots making burgers. Except everything here's all vegan so I had someone teach me how to make vegan burgers taste like normal burgers, and basically the robots are making vegan burgers that are so full of stuff that they taste like normal burgers.

... Also, I bought arcade machines.

So, are you just rolling in space money at this point, or . . .?

[Teasing by way of absolutely not teasing at all. This has to be a winning business strategy.]

I mean, we get paid for this whole superhero thing, so I'm actually fine on cash. That's actually what I'm using to buy the arcade machines, so.

[Hold up. His future self has money he could be blowing through? It takes a minute to find the account information, and then-

-oh. Oh man.]

Well in that case . . . are you taking customers?

[ There's a brief second where Danny just stops. And for that brief second, he thought to himself just how much money he could get for selling normal-tasting burgers.

But then he realized how much work and organization that would involve. And nah. ]

Dude, they're free. Just come by.

[They're . . . free? Just like that? HE gives a huff of a laugh, incredulous but not about to fight him on it.]

Okay, this has to officially be the first heroic act I have seen around here. Be right there.

Don't ever let anyone say Ghost Boy isn't a hero.

El and I would like to try these burgers.

[ordinarily]

Well, my place is the one with the big flashy "Nasty Burger" sign on it. Kinda hard to miss.

[resist_the_future]

Why is it called that?

[ordinarily]

Because nasty's just one letter away from tasty.

... That's their slogan.

[resist_the_future]

It's lazy and misleading.

[ordinarily]

It's fast food. The entire industry's all about being lazy.
