Twinkies!?

[twinkie_gauge]

This is a goddang joke, right?

Look, moon or munn or whatever they call your ass around here, y'little brat, I know I been quiet awhile but this is GD important.

Don't you even give me that look.

You best getcher ass out there and buy that box o' Twinkies tonight or I gotta tell ya, things ain't gonna be pretty.

[His bottom lip pushes up a little, partially hooking over his teeth. Makes his chin look a little longer. He's not gonna cry. Goddang it.]

Just. Grab a dang box before there ain't anymore, a'right?

Stupid goddang economy.

I've never had a Twinkie before. Are they that good?"

[twinkie_gauge]

Are they that--?

[Tal's looking at Celty... well. He's looking at her like she has no head. (And he can tell.)

He's not intending to be threatening, probably, but he is holding a pickaxe as he hefts it in her direction and shakes it vaguely like a teacher with a ruler.]

Now you listen here, little lady. A Twinkie is about the best goddamn thing any person ever put here on this green earth.

[Are they that good. Goddang.]

[lookingforhead]

[Celty waves her hands defensively. She didn't mean to offend him, and she certainly doesn't want to get hit by that pickaxe.]

I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I just don't really know much about food or how it tastes or anything.

[That's right, unless she gets her head back, Celty may never know what eating a Twinkie is like.]

[gotmyending]

No Twinkies? How can there not be Twinkies? They're Twinkies! They're forever!

[twinkie_gauge]

That is exactly what I said. It's bad enough worryin' about whether the shelves are still stocked somewhere in the dang country when the zombies start runnin' around. Now I have to worry about whether there'll even be a Twinkie shelf once things go south. Shit.

[gotmyending]

You know what? I bet somewhere, there's some crazy end-of-the-world conspiracy theorist who has a basement load of these things. Because I'm damn sure Twinkies could survive nuclear holocaust.

What I'm saying is, we need to find this kinda guy, beat 'em up and take his Twinkies.

[thelionqueen]

What's a Twinkie?

[twinkie_gauge]

. . .

[THAT IS A GODDANG LION.]

What the f--?

[Tallahassee fuckin' zombie-stumbles backward a second, hefting his gun and aiming it, but not cocking it yet.

...That is a talking lion.

. . .

He squints at it for a second, gun still up.]

...Yeah, I don't suppose you get a lot of snack cakes out where you come from, huh?

[This is surreal.]

[thelionqueen]

[Noooo idea what the gun is. Since there are apparently no humans where she comes from. She just sits back, hopefully to be less scary since he seems kind of startled.]

Nothing like that. It's a snack?

[Granted, the word 'snack' conjures the image of small furry things to her.]

[keepsthemsafe]

What.

No. No fuckin' way. It's gotta be a lie. That's how this shit starts and then it's after fuckin' everything else!

[twinkie_gauge]

I fuckin' wish it was a lie. I cannot... [His fingers curl a little bit, somewhere between a picking-up and a throttling motion.] Even... Just... [More like a throttling motion now.]

End of the goddamn world comin' on now.

[keepsthemsafe]

If they take donuts man it's on. No one's safe cause there ain't no way any cop's functionin' without um. any decent man.

I thought the walkers were bad. Shit.

[marchtember]

What? No. [ disgusted grimace. ] What am I going to serve at dinner parties? [ not sarcasm or is it ]

[twinkie_gauge]

[Okay, he was with her until the dinner parties thing. Then she gets one cocked eyebrow.]

You sassin' me an' my love o' Twinkies, little lady?

[marchtember]

No, sir, sheriff, sir. I was born without a sass gland. I would appreciate if you didn't call attention to it.

also this is the best post ever

[candied_eyes]

Ouch.

I'd offer you some, but I...only have the Cupcakes.

kjsfjkd thank you ♥

[twinkie_gauge]

Be lucky you got them and hold on to 'em. [He may be emphasizing this by pointing her way with his hand-cannon. It's not cocked, at least!] Me I never liked the chocolate cake as much. Twinkies. Twinkies are where it's at.

Honestly the only post/character I could think of when the news broke

[candied_eyes]

I'll tell you, I'd prefer a Twinkie over a Cupcake but s'all the store got.

Sell em on eBay when you find them. If I find any ill keep a box for you.

Ever get the whipped cream and make them whipped cream messes?

[weaponmadeperfect]

Never could understand the draw of those... [Hey her parents never bought them and after her encounter with zombies she was in a lab for the next ten years so sweets? what the hell are those.]

[Though mun's craving snowballs now... ffffffff she may have to do a store run.]

[twinkie_gauge]

The draw? [There must be some crazy goin' on in here.] The draw is they're delicious. Plus they're made of nigh-on-unpronounceable ingredients. Makes it excitin'.

[Go sooner rather than later! This mun went to four places trying to find a Twinkie. NOT ONE ON THE SHELVES. NOT ONE.]

[weaponmadeperfect]

Yeah see... I kinda like stuff not made in a lab. Comes from bein' stuck in one ten years.

surviving an outbreak, not as fun as it seems when the rest of the world hasn't gone to hell.

[immunized]

No more twinkies?

Shit. That's just depressing.

[ooeeooahah]

Now, I'm not going to try to tel you they'll be exactly the same, but there are some alternatives out there. I've got several recipes for making them at home.

[justthedoctor]

Aah, chin up! Another company might buy the old one and continue making the little cakes! It's quite a large company with a potentially high revenue, if they can clean up the mess of the old one. [And look at him! Who would have thought business talk would come from the Doctor of all people???]

[cosmo_gyral]

They must be good, with the fuss that's bein' made bout them. Never had one.

[Honestly, they look sort've nasty to her, and she's got a rampant sweet tooth... She won't say that though, this bloke looks all out of sorts over the news. Still, she wrinkles her nose a little.]
