MEANWHILE, APROPROS OF NOTHING.

[forgetbeam]

There's something new by the vending machines... Take a closer look?

>Yes
>No

What on earth is that? Well, whatever's in there, it's pretty cheap. At least in price. Who knows about the quality. Maybe you'll actually get something nice.

INSERT COIN?

[GA-SHUNK GA-SHUNK GA-SHUNK!

Inside the first capsule, there is a Love Affair Ring! A pinky ring that will bring you affection if you wear it on your right hand, bring you romance if you wear it on your left hand, and bring ruin upon you if you wear it on both.

Inside the second capsule, there is a King Banana! A king-sized banana that, surprisingly, isn't edible.

Inside the third capsule, there are some Rainbow Biscuits! Easily-preservable hardtack used in emergency rations. One can enjoy seven different flavors.]

[punchtheflute]

[Hmm. Right or... left? Right or left. Right or left.

Well, romance was nice. But affection was the better choice, probably. Because that could mean affection from a bunch of people, friends and family included, right? He squeezed it on to his right hand pinky. Oof. Tight!

He ate the biscuits immediately. And gave the banana a pretty good try just to see if he could prove the description wrong. But he couldn't.]

Don't look. It's embarrassing.
