"Mmhmm, there are a lot of things to pick from," Tiffani says as she slides the money across the counter to the cashier. "But truth be told, you quickly figure out what you like and don't like so you end up with certain habits." She takes the two somewhat large cups and hands one to Jack. "Hopefully...

"Unfortunately they only come in two flavors - strawberry and orange. So ... well, strawberry is way better than orange. At least in my opinion." The two of them arrive at the food court where the restaurant is located. It's not a restaurant in the truest sense of the word - just a small store front...

"C'mon, I'll show you." Tiffani gets up from the bench, gathers up her myriad packages and bags and heads off toward the food court. "Basically, it's a strawberry drink of some kind. You'll see - they make it right there in front of you. All kinds of weird things they dump in the cup and then they m...

"Hmm, I dunnae - I mean, I hadn't really thought of it. I didn't realize just how out of time you really were."

She thinks for a few moments before her mood suddnly brightens.

"Ever have a Stawberry Julius? Oh my god .. I could drink nothing but those things forever."

After paying for the sheets and comforter, she sauntered back out into the mall proper - or did her best to saunter as she struggled with the large comforter she had purchased. She stopped near a fountain and sat down on a bench. "I need to get off my feet for a few minutes," Tiffani said with a tir...

"Yeah, they have, though even moon landings are before my time. Now they do everything with robots and mechanical probes. Seems as if manned spaceflight is a thing of the past, not the future." Her voice belies a certain disappointment in her opinion on the exploration of space. "Everything is about...

Tiffani smirks as she struggles to control the comforter and the package of sheets she had taken from the shelves. "I'm glad I can be of some help then. Just don't watch me too closely and make the same mistakes. No doubt I will make quite a few of those." After wrestling with her packages once too ...

"I'll do what I can, but ... like I said, we're both in the 'figuring-out-the-present boat' so I don't know what kind of use I'd be."
