“You know what I think that is?”
Yea, you grunt as your vision slowly un-blurs, it’s probably your heart being a little <span class="mu-s">BITCH!</span>
“Nah see,” Sniffs your date as he takes a bite out of a bouquet of <span class="mu-b">CORN DOGS</span> in his hand, “Nowadays food companies use, like, <span class="mu-r">OIL SUBSTITUTES</span> designed to make us weak… y’know, the stuff made in <span class="mu-r">CHINA</span> and shipped over here!”
Shiiit, you whisper as your eyes widen, is… is that right?
“Damn right it is!” Nods Talbot in a voice dripping with confidence and a hand dripping with chocolate syrup and grease! “But that pain right there? I’m betting it’s because our bodies have been conditioned to like the foreign stuff–so when we go back to the <span class="mu-g">GOOD OIL,</span> we… we feel bad!”
You feel your heart lurch in your chest again, but this time you <span class="mu-i">know</span> what’s causing it! Man, you respond in a voice filled with admiration, you’re pretty smart sometimes, T… that… that makes sense, actually!
“We just kicked a <span class="mu-r">SKELETON APOCALYPSE’S</span> ass that was started by our dumb <span class="mu-r">DOG BONE COMPANY–</span>doesn’t sound so far-fetched anymore, huh?” Replies Talbot with a face positively <span class="mu-i">glowing</span> from your praise!
Heh, you say, emboldened by the butterflies in your stomach and the sugar high from the food, m-maybe my heart is just racing f-for you…. Heheh…
Matching your smile and stare as he scarfs down some more bacon, the two of you bask in the comfortable silence for a while. This… this is nice!
<span class="mu-b">DATE RANK: NICE!</span>
Feeling the air grow colder around you, you contemplate putting on your jacket, but ultimately decide to pour yourself another drink! Gee, you ponder as you take another sip, wonder what <span class="mu-i">he’s</span> thinking about right now?
