The year is 2018 and the Red Scare is alive and kicking. Worlds collide as we're brought here under mysterious circumstances, given gifts we couldn't dream to prepare for. Trapped without hope for escape we ask ourselves - will we ever see our homes again? Our loved ones? Will we embrace our new lives and is it a question of when - not if - that these powers turn on us? So many questions, and yet the biggest mystery is something else entirely.

Best burger joint. Give me your suggestions. Bonus points for cheap menus.

You really don't know?

[ Screw powers and multiple dimensions, this right here is the unbelievable part. ]

I am afraid I do not. Where I am from "burgers" are...not something I have seen before.

[burger_king]

Wow. [ Give him a moment. ] There's a depressing thought - a world without burgers.

Good thing you're here.

[foralways]

That hardly answers the question of what exactly they are.

[burger_king]

They're the only thing you need to eat.

A basic burger is a beef patty between two buns, but you can add a bunch of stuff to it - cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, ketchup. Bacon, of course.

From the sound of it, it hardly sounds like a healthy choice for every meal. I do suppose it would be unfair to judge without having one at least once, though.

[burger_king]

A burger has everything you need. Bread, meat, vegetables. The whole package.

[foralways]

But that does not necessarily guarantee it is healthy, correct? Perhaps I could attempt to indulge as a treat of some sort...

[ He's 16, healthy is for other people. ]

You should. If you don't try it, then how do you know what it's like?

[Habits are harder to break later in life, best to start early~]

...Fair enough. Would there be other foods you would recommend me trying then? Perhaps ones often found within these..."burger joints"?

[burger_king]

[ At the rate he's going in life in general, he'll have bigger worries than diet! ]

Fries and a milkshake is kind of a classic. Can't go wrong with that.

Fries...and a milkshake. I see...

It seems I have to find one of these places as well then.

[burger_king]

Roller Rock Diner is a good place to start. It has great atmosphere.

[ And his girlfriend works there, which is an added bonus. ]

[foralways]

Then I shall start there,
if it comes so highly recommended.

Tell them Jughead sent you.

[foralways]

Jughead. Very well.

Thank you for this rather...interesting point of social education.

[burger_king]

Only happy to help.
