she looks between. datz, rita, and the teen. ] Mmm... everything just. It's kind of fleshy and weird right now. [ looking at the teen curiously. she's gonna be real. ] Isn't it...? This place, it's like it's made of meat.
[ he's so fucking hungry and this mystery jam stuff looks soooo good right now but also this is throwing him for enough of a loop to distract him from that for a second ]
These aren't, like... mangled flesh elevator walls to you...?

I wasn't able to make anything out on the computer, either.

glances at the teen ]
What's up?

The teen looks between the three of them, their eyebrows furrowed in confusion. They open their mouth. Close it. Open it again.]

The elevator shakes a little as they land on the first floor, just as the teen opens their mouth to answer the group's question.
The elevator doors open.]
