Tropers: The Series

Elena blinks at Baryl “Wha?.. Don’t you eat fried french? Also you’re saying it as if I’m a cannibal.. I have standards, you know”

”I’ve been to France before. I’ve met two very kind cyborgs that make very nice music,” the alien explains with a cross face. ”I think it’s a nice country and we should not fry its people.”

“I don’t think that’s what a fried french is,” Arimo says, placing a hand on his shoulder.

Elena tilts her head “Don’t people eat fried french most of the time? If those aren’t people then what are they?”

"Uh, are you talking about a French toast Sandwich? Like a Monte Cristo kind-of-sandwich?"

”Excuse me? Did you say a de Homem-Christo sandwich?”

Arimo holds the alien down. “He’s always like this yeah, thanks for asking.”

"No. I said Monte Cristo."

Junon pulls out her smartphone and puts on her Spacestagram app, set to a photo of a wonderful ham melt with pieces of French toast as bread◊.

"See..."

“No.. French fried french.. fried french french fried frying pan?”

"Ah. You're talking about french fries?"

She slams her hands on the table and nods “Yeah! French fries!”

"I love French fries, too."

Baryl is still visibly angry about the idea of frying the French.

“I like fries too. The saltier the better. I guess.”

"So do I."

"Heheh, salty. I guess you're not salty about salt."

After a bizarre amount of time, Beverly responds.

Sammich'll do, thanks..."

"You seem quite upset, Beverly." Heather responds, getting closer to her. "Yeah, I am! And it's your fault!"

"... Pardon?"

"There I was, cruising around the Sigma Cluster, listening to my tunes, when I'm attacked! Some clown thinking I was you, Xentii."

Heather audibly gasps, rushing over and putting a hand over Beverly's mouth. "Please do not say my real name..."

“Ya gonna accept the deal or not? If not, I can always tip the Galactic Police off to your location...”

Beverly grunts, taking the hand off her mouth. "I said I accept, ya goon! And that's a bad threat anyway, I'll just leave again till it cools off!"

“Ah. Sorry. Here you go, then.”

(Tales hands Beverly a box of cool stuff and a club sandwich.)

“That’ll be eleven kazillion Zimbabwean dollars, please.”

"Sure, here ya go..."

Beverly hands him a blank piece of paper. "I.O.U., something kwadrillion whatever ya said."

Puma realizes that Dan has ordered a hamburger.

"Hey, waiter?"

"Ee-yeees?"

"I thought you said this place doesn't serve steamed hams right now. How come he ordered one?"

"Oh, steamed hams? I thought you said steamed clams!"

"Oh, the irony. Well, can I get a steamed ham please? And... a vanilla milkshake?"

"A vanilla milkshake at breakfast time? That's unhealthy! You should get the bacon milkshake instead!"

"Ooh, yes please!"

After a long period of silence, Leaf speaks up. "I'm having fried ice cream."

Caitlin glances at her. "That sounds disgusting."

"Probably, but I want to at least try it."

"I worry about you sometimes."

I forgot how I got here but I want some scrambled eggs with asparagus.

(Meanwhile, after a couple hours with the therapist, Robin and Maurice have left the therapist's office and are now kicking off their usual post-therapy ritual with having fish and chips at a nearby diner. It was quiet outside of the sounds of cooking, dishes clanging, and people chatting.)
"So, has anything been going on in town while we were away?"
"Well, Sonny now has a son named Simon and a boyfriend named Remington."
"Oh, damn! So that egg he had finally hatched. That's great! Has he become less mean after becoming a parent?"
"Yeah. He's even opened up a cafe near the apartment building. Downside is he built it with rent payers' money."
"Jeez."
"Satan and Aveyond's sister are becoming a thing now."
"Oh, dear."
(Robin laughs.)
"So, things have been alright?"
"Yeah. So how's Chey and Ford outside of the fact they're gonna be parents soon?"
"They're engaged now. And before you ask, that was long before they, you know..."
"About bloody time!"
"Yeah, Chey has already got a dress. It's absolutely beautiful."
" Can't wait to see it."
"Everybody can't wait."
"God, I really missed this. Just us talking about what's going on over fish and chips."
"I missed this too."
(Robin then holds his glass of Coke up.)
"A toast to family!"
(Maurice raises his glass of Coke up as well.)
"To family!"
(They then cling their glasses together and start tucking into their food. Meanwhile...)

"... Man. I don't even wanna eat anything. My appetite is completely ruined."

"Would you perhaps like some caffeine drink?"

"No."

"It was the pickles that ruined it, wasn't it"

“Fried french fries??”
