Who: Alphonse Elric and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: N/A
When: Right now!

[As the video feed turns on, Al is digging wrapped candy bars out of a crate addressed to the crew of the SS Vanquish, looking very confused.]

Uhm... can someone tell me what a "cheese puff" is? And why there's a candy bar flavored like them?

[MASS SPONSOR DROP TIME! Your character may have received from the sponsors some Kit Kats- excuse me, Floot Brand Wafer Bars - in wacky flavors. Want some inspiration? Take a look here or Google "Japanese Kit Kats" for more. Feel free to threadjack in this post too, idc.]

I can't imagine sweet cheese would taste very good, no...

[geonomy]

Cheese puffs are like... puffed up tastelessness covered in cheese powder to cover up the tastelessness. So, no, it wouldn't taste very good.

[WHY CAN'T THEY GET VISORS AGAIN oh wait they still have like a box full of them]

[sonofgold]

Cheese powder? If that's anything like the cheese gel Atroma gives us... that doesn't sound good at all. But enough people must like it if they make a candy bar that tastes like it.

[geonomy]

I dunno, you know how Atroma is with their drop offs. What other flavors do they have?

video;

[sonofgold]

True. I'm remembering the time they gave me food samples back when I couldn't even eat.

[He shuffled through the crate.]

Uhm, let's see... melon and cheese? Strawberries and cream... blueberry cheesecake... red bean paste...

[geonomy]

... Huh. Some of those actually don't sound too bad.

[Too bad he only likes candy in small doses]

I'll be there in a minute or two, all right? [He wants to see these for himself and all]

[sonofgold]

Okay! I'm in the cargo bay.

[And indeed, Al was seated on an empty box, munching on the blueberry cheesecake-flavored bar.]

[And so, Clay comes ambling in, squinting a bit at the crate they received. Seriously, always the useless stuff. He gives Al a wave and a grin, then tilts his head in a gesture to the candy - ]

Is that the cheese one? [It's blue.]

action;

[sonofgold]

Nah, this is blueberry. It's actually pretty good- and Pinkie Pie offered to take the cheese-flavored one off my hands.

action;

[geonomy]

Good. We really don't need any more cheese flavored things here.

[Cheese itself? Great! Cheese flavor? Especially cheese puff? Nooo no no. Clay gives Alphonse a ruffle of his hair once he's close enough, then leans over to look inside the crate.]

Floot Brand Wafer Bars? They could've been more creative with their naming. [Like, oh, I don't know, Kit Kats.]

action;

[sonofgold]

[Al smiled at the hair ruffle- it was definitely something Ed would do. Or Sig, if he didn't give a bone-crushing hug first.]

I'll take real cheese any day. [He then squinted at the name.] Floot Brand, huh? That seems to be a common sponsor brand. I guess they're Atroma manufacture.

action;

[geonomy]

They've just gotta slap their name on everything, huh?

[He moves a few boxes aside, then frowns at some of the names he finds underneath them.]

Soy sauce flavored? Sports drink?

action;

[sonofgold]

Gotta make sure the audience knows where to buy their contestant-endorsed products, after all.

[Al squinted.]

Hey, maybe the soy sauce one will taste good with this chicken flavor.

action;

[geonomy]

[Clay squints in return, looking more grossed out than anything.]

Ew, no. There are some things that should not be made into a candy flavor.

[These flavors can rot. He pushes those aside, and... ooh, hmm.]

Mitarashi dango flavored?

action;

[sonofgold]

I've never heard of that before.
