Capsule 007 💊 (Video) [Backdated to Early This Morning]

[rassera]

[It's that time of the month again when Kaneda remembers that he ACTUALLY has a job. One he more often than not does either sarcastically or on accident. Following this conversation, it seems like something's caught the attention of our biker, namely all the people who seem to be lined up outside of stores or the huge traffic jam that seems to be plaguing the streets of Nonah at 7 a.m.

...]


Did everyone just forget how to drive today, or what?


[Because what is this. Why are people taking tickets, why are there tents.

What's...Black Friday.


In the distance, some guy's honking his horn--]

Eating Day was yesterday, right? The hell are they--

["Get your damn bike out of the street, imPort!"]

EH, BITE ME, ASSHOLE!

It's an annual thing, even where I come from. Once Thanksgiving is over Christmas really starts, in terms of shopping and all that. Although a lot of place are open during Thanksgiving, which is stupid.

This is why I buy online.

[rassera]

...Buy online.

[Okay, he knows what online is, and he saw things that costed money on Unagi, but...hell, he wasn't paying for shit--whether he knew how or not.]

[maglevflash]

Yeah, you can buy anything online, even if it's not sold in stores near you. Not that it's as much of a problem for us, with the porters, but some things you can't just find in Walmart.

[rassera]

Well, there's always giant TVs. Everyone says I should get one.


But I don't know...I'm seeing a lot of good stuff. No idea what it does, but it looks good.

[maglevflash]

Uh oh.

[rassera]

...huh?


What do you mean 'Uh Oh.'

[maglevflash]

It's begun.

[rassera]

...What's begun.


You're speaking in riddles now too? What, don't tell me that's contagious.

[maglevflash]

You're the one getting the holiday disease. Not me.

I'm sorry, Kaneda. There's no way to avoid Black Friday. [Said with a grim amount of Meaning.]

[rassera]

...


[Oh, he sees what's going on here.]

That so. So I guess this means...

[A soft, exasperated sigh.]

It's too late for me.

[maglevflash]

I'm afraid so. You'll soon be compelled to buy every shiny thing you can get your hands on.

[She looks mournful. She'll remember you fondly.]

[rassera]

Oh no, I can feel the tug right now. Ngh--

I'm getting dragged by f...fate!

[yes, he is pretending to pull himself off screen.]

[maglevflash]

Hey, do me a favor and see if you can find some headphones on discount! It's not a flat screen TV but gotta take a deal when you find it.

[Leaning on her side as if to see him around the screen.]

[rassera]

Oi! I'm not your personal shopper!!

[Not that he won't look but ABUSE OF POWER!!]

[maglevflash]

Well, why not? You're already there, aren't you? If I can't break the spell on you, might as well take advantage of it.

[Does she LOOK like a good guy to you, Kaneda?]

[rassera]

[THE DVD LIED.]

Maybe I won't go to that section of the store, huh?

Make it worth my while!

[maglevflash]

[Thinks about it.]

You can have one of my christmas cookie test batches.

[rassera]

...



Deal.

[maglevflash]

Hope you like peppermint. I'm still trying to figure out the right ratio.

[Ha. Fastest way to get what she wants is always through food.]
