What would the purpose of this possible bribe be?

[watchmaker]

I don't know, you're the one who thought of it in the first place. You have to give me time to get a proper scheme going.

[bittersweeter]

[To be fair, she always brings up bribery. Her criminal brain, okay, that's just where it goes.] I'll wait. So... dismal hot dogs, fried dough, and then ice cream?

[watchmaker]

[it's ok, it'll come in handy sooner or later. that's why he keeps her around.] Do we have to do the hot dogs?

[bittersweeter]

They're gross, but I am really hungry. [A beat.] Better than cat food.

[watchmaker]

I don't know about that. I'm pretty sure they put cat food in those things. [NOW THEY'RE GETTING OUT OF THE CAR AW YEAH. and walking. that's a thing.]

[bittersweeter]

[And we're walking, we're walking, and we're walking.]

Have you eaten cat food?

[watchmaker]

Not unless you count that one Chinese restaurant in Hyde Park.

[bittersweeter]

[Big ol' guffaw of laughter right there. Well played, sir. Well played. ]

I might actually count that...

[watchmaker]

[YES goal achieved. she has an adorable laugh, okay.] Good. Well, maybe not so good actually. But hey, if you want to wreak havoc on your digestive system with that stuff, by all means.

[bittersweeter]

Do you have anything better in mind? [Since she really doesn't care she is just that hungry. And 37 pieces of fried dough is surprisingly not filling....]

[watchmaker]

[i decided to do a knowledge: streetwise check to see if sylar knew about any of the restaurants at navy pier besides haagen daz and since he got a 22 i guess he has the psychic ability of sensing where all the food is ever!! or just used his superhearing to hear what people in the area are chatting about. most likely that one.]

I don't know. Gyros, maybe?

[bittersweeter]

What the fuck is a Gyro? [idfk three years a cat... she missed a lot. Apprently she missed that.]

[watchmaker]

[w o w girl how uncultured are you.] A Mediterranean sandwich? It was just a suggestion.

[bittersweeter]

[She looks... adorably interested.] What's on it?

[watchmaker]

[shrug. what does he look like, gordon ramsay??] Meat? Whatever you want in it? French fries.

[bittersweeter]

[Magic words, her arm shoots out like BAM because right there sure is a stand selling pier fries. And fried dough.]

Yes. [Who the fuck knows if that is meant to be an answer or an exclamation or what.] Come on.

[watchmaker]

Hey, whatever you want. [it's seriously no big because he'll eat anything. even the chicago food he was being so snitty about like five seconds ago.]

[bittersweeter]

Pier fries first. Then fried dough. Then... we'll see. [EAT ALL THE FOODS!]

[watchmaker]

[NO LITERALLY THO.] Maybe we can try to eat something at every place. Until we explode.

[bittersweeter]

[She loves him. It's the little things.] You're the best.

[watchmaker]

I know. But you won't be saying that if I throw up on you.

[bittersweeter]

If you throw up on me I will throw you off the pier.

[watchmaker]

If you jumped in with me, you could clean it off.

[bittersweeter]

And then I'd be all wet. Wet jeans are the worst.
