Gray had seen the Buc-ee's when the island had had one during that...whatever that was last fall, but he'd never gone in, and, well, he was curious.

Once he had ambled across the entire enormous parking lot and the doors of Buc-ee's opened before him, he looked around and could only say, "Holy shit." He was not sure what he had expected, but it had not been...this. All of this. So much of this. It was like some beaver-themed truck stop wonderland in here! He hadn't seen a giant cup of soda that cheap in at least a decade! And hey, what's a 'beaver nugget,' anyway?

He read the ingredients on the back of the beaver nuggets, his eyes getting steadily rounder, and went to get a basket to fill with them. Or maybe he should get a cart?

(Open Buc-ee's is open!)

It wasn't like Rey had any reason to know what Buc-ee's was, and she liked seeing new places, so she stopped in, and was immediately surprised. It was so big. There was so much. So, so much.

So she was just going to wander the store (?) for now with an seed expression on her face. She better grab a basket.

"What is this place?" she asked, walking over, and then came over to see what he was looking at. "And what is this?"

It was amazing, Rey. Get twelve.

"There are definitely too many kinds," she decided. "I feel like I should get one. Even if the name sounds wrong."

"...I need the chocolate covered ones," she said. "But- maybe also the regular? Just to know?"

This is how it starts.

"I almost want to ask why they do this to us," Rey admitted. "With the way this week is going we only have a day!"

She sighed.

"I'm going to need a cart."

"I would think that would work. They have food here, but it's not Waffle House."

Said by someone who legitimately thought the food was great and not a heart attack on a plate.

Rey blinked. "I'm sorry, they what?"

"I actually want to see that," she said. "Though I'll probably still be here shopping when they do it."

Rey didn't shop! She was cheap! So cheap!

"Is that a giant goddamn badger in front of this store?" Flint demanded to the world at large, stalking in.

"I don't really have a strong opinion about beavers," Flint replied, absolutely not making anything better.

"I already regret asking this, but how do beavers make nuggets?" Flint asked.

"They use animal labor," Flint drawled, looking unconvinced.

"The raccoons make beer," Flint repeated. Everyone on this island made Rackham seem sensible. He shook his head. "What is in a beaver nugget?"

This wasn't promising. "They added flavor to food?"

Sounded suspicious, but it was better than demanding to know what a vegan was.

Flint's eyebrows rose. "You were on a pirate ship."

"And when was this?" Flint asked cautiously.

God, he hoped he didn't know the captain.

"In the West Indies or elsewhere?" Flint asked.

"I wouldn't judge you if you had," Flint said with a tiny smile. "Those things happened."
