go off to find your fortune
They wander off past you, without incident. Well, almost; one eats
part of you. However, since a Cheezie is still a Cheezie with part of
it eaten, you really don't mind much. You start walking off down the
road that the highwaymen were coming from. There's a very odd bunch
of creatures that you start meeting; then again, any society where the
people are mostly prepackaged baked goods is not normal!
First, you meet a cornflake named Claudius. "Nero," she
says (you don't know how you know she's a lady), "I'm in a
terrible pickle."
"Pickle? You're a cornflake! You're in a cereal, not a
pickle!" you reply.
"Hmmph! You Cheezies have no manners," she says. Off she
goes in a huff.
Next, you meet a cracker named Tiberius. "All I ever wanted was
to find a good sandwich!" he cries. "Do you know where
there's any cheese I can make into a sandwich?"
Unfortunately, since everyone knows there's no cheese in Cheezies,
you're unable to help him. He wanders off, still unhappy.
The last person you meet is a pretzel stick named Horace. He wants a
travelling companion whose flavors merge harmoniously with him. While
he'd prefer a sesame cracker, he seems reasonably well-suited for
travel with you.
"I'm looking to make my fortune! Do you want to come with
me?" he asks.
You don't need to worry about the Hostess Highwaymen, however;
Twinkies(TM) have more to worry about than Cheezies, even giant orange
ones.
