The Short Adventure of Sal, the Grape Soda Guy

[ClapTrap]

This is the short story of a fresh arrival finding himself around City 24.
(Sorry for most of this being text, I was laughing too hard in the early moments to get pictures of him talking. Only managed to get good pics of him towards the end.)

I'm first approached by the protagonist while he was meandering his way around the new city (and while I was half on my phone about to log off).

I decide to show the newcomer a store that was just about to close up for the night, that being the O'Hair establishment
(The guy running the store was literally just about to close it, but we barely manage to catch him as he unlocks the door again).

There's a moment of tense pause. It seems like our protagonist would have to compromise with just regular berries.

Until...

The worker pivots and walks into the backroom of the store, leaving the protagonist to lock eyes with me, simply saying:

The worker returns, holding the glorious product our hero has so dutifully fought tooth and nail for.

Finally, that gracious cylinder of tin is in his very hands and the protagonist of this short story experiences true euphoria.

He exits the store swiftly, not a peep more leaving his lips until he was outside.

Mincing no words, he finishes his odyssey with a comment of settling down.

And off the purple knight went, sprinting into the city before disconnecting mid-run animation.
