[Oh no, a new category has entered his awareness.]

What counts as specialty...?

[heyunderoos]

Like... the person went to culinary school and only makes this kind of specialized food? Like macarons or a special kind of pie? May and I used to see a lot of those shops, but never went in since they were super expensive back in New York.

[apuckalypse]

[....

Adds 'macaron' alongside mochi to his notes. That one's a new word.]

We can probably afford just about anything here, if we find any specialty stores.

[heyunderoos]

[Time for Casey to become dessert connoisseur. New arc unlocked.]

True, I just got used to thinking of them as 'Boujee', y'know? [Peter pauses, realizing Casey probably has no idea what that means.] It's slang, for like- when someone buys something they can't afford to look rich. It's a whole thing.

[apuckalypse]

[....

Also adds "boo-gee??" to his list.]

That's weird. Aren't people allowed to treat themselves?

[heyunderoos]

They are, it's just... more a commentary on people wanting to seem really rich for status, even though they had no money for what they really need? It's very New York.

[apuckalypse]

...How long do you think it's gonna take for me to get used to real society...

[There is so much he doesn't understaaaaand.]

[heyunderoos]

Probably a while. Like... a good while. [He seems apologetic about Casey needing to deal with any of it at all.] I'm sure being here will help make it a lot less jarring?

[apuckalypse]

I guess this is a lot gentler of an intro to normal life than jumping right into New York City.

[heyunderoos]

Yeah, you're probably going to get your bearings a lot faster here. More control, less- New York. [He has no idea how to describe New York in a way that isn't a tangent about how much he loves the chaotic messy place it is.]

[apuckalypse]

I don't know what that means, but it worries me.

[New York please have mercy.]

[heyunderoos]

[Peter can't help but laugh a little at that.] It's a lot, but you'll get it. New York is so diverse and all over the place, you'll just need to be you and pick up things along the way.

[apuckalypse]

You should lead with that next time!

[He's nervous, but he's not too worried at least.]

[heyunderoos]

Hey, I didn't know I needed to lead in with anything. [He protests with another laugh.]

[apuckalypse]

Consider yourself informed.
