While in the Cancer Ward, you might have noticed there's a new bar in town! If curiosity gets the better of you, you step inside the establishment where you're greeted cheerfully. Was that a ghost? No, look down.

There she is.

That's Vanellope von Schweetz, the unlikely nine-year old proprietor of this restaurant. She's wearing a little white apron with the sleeves of her turquoise hoodie rolled up tight around her upper arms. Of course, you probably assume that one of the two tall demons with their hair pulled back into ponytails is really the owner of this place. Silly kids, right?

But no need to dwell on that detail. The smell of meat and hot grease wafts around the room, and the root beer's always flowing. So take a seat, glance at the menu, and place your order; one of the 'twins' will be with you to serve you shortly!

Death smiles at Vanellope. Sure, she looks young, but there's no telling if that's her actual age. "So I take it you found some jerks."

[von_schweetz]

Vanellope doesn't recognize the woman, but apparently they've spoken over the network, so there's a bit of a connection.

"The government guys found'em for me! They're not so great with small talk, but they know how to cook and clean. Apparently using real food for decoration is frowned upon by some schmucks called the health department." She mutters briefly, but her attitude picks back up easily. "Good help is really hard to find around here, geez...but c'mon! You're here for the good stuff, right?"

She zips around one of the of counters and scales the side of a bar stool. "We have root beer, root beer floats, extra large root beer, small root beer..." Root beer, root beer, and root beer. "Oh, and hamburgers!"

[acapriciousthing]

Now that food really does remind Death of Delirium. It's exactly the way she would try to decorate a restaurant. "Yeah, food decorations tend to attract insects here." APparently not in Vanellope's world.

"I've always been fond of rootbeer floats."

[von_schweetz]

Vanellope's eyes widen at the mention of insects, as she only knows of one type: the viral ones from Sergeant Calhoun's game world, Hero's Duty.

"Food decorations attract Cybugs!? STOP THE PRESSES! GRILLS! Whatever they're called!" She bounce about frantically, receiving confused looks from her two employees. But she pauses just long enough to respond with a cheerful "And one root beer float! For- uh..."

[acapriciousthing]

"Just regular bugs." Death gives her a reassuring smile. SHe's not sure what Cybugs are, but it sounds completely out of proportion with the sort of annoying infestation she meant.

Names, right. "I'm Death. Didi, if you prefer."

[von_schweetz]

"Those exist?" There are no insects in Sugar Rush. Just candy. The closest thing to a pest is a rabid devil dog, and even they are harmless. Unless you don't like vanilla frosting all over yourself.

Death? Is she a villain or something? Oh. Didi. Kind of like Satan calling himself Sah-teen. She gets it. Only not. "Ohhhh. Gotcha. Nice to meet ya, Death!" That's a lot of fun to say.

[acapriciousthing]

"There's millions of kinds of insects just on Earth." And quite the appearance she took on when dealing with them.

SHe holds out a hand. Because she's a rather friendly personification, really. "GOod to meet you too..."

[von_schweetz]

"We're gonna need a giant bug zapper or an active volcano."

Vanellope takes it (as best as she can) and shakes. "President Vanellope von Schweetz, ruler and racer of Sugar Rush Speedway!"

[acapriciousthing]

"Madam President." She says it completely seriously. There are far stranger things in the universe than a small child being a president. Especially of something called Sugar Rush. "What would you want a volcano for?"

[von_schweetz]

"Just Vanellope's fine!" She grins, crossing her arms after the handshake. "I like to think of myself as just one of the guys, but with more responsibility."

She scales a bar stool and seats herself on the leather cushion. "Bugs are attracted to the light! Volcanos spew bright lava...or soda...And as soon as they touch it...FWOOSH! Or ZAP!. Depends on what you're using."

[acapriciousthing]

Now that she understood. Desire loved to talk about moths and butterflies and candleflames. "Some bugs are important to have around though. They pollinate flowers and a lot of other animals eat them. That's why there's so many kinds."

[von_schweetz]

"Well, bug or cybug, they're not welcome in here!" With a suitable reasoning behind the need for cleanliness, Vanellope will make it a priority among her employees, who already know better (thank goodness).

"Maybe we could get one of those to come in here and hunt them down..."

[acapriciousthing]

"You never know, there might even be someone who got brought here that prefers to eat insects." It wouldn't be the strangest thing to happen in an interdimensional kidnapping zone.

[von_schweetz]

"Looks like I get to mass mail another help wanted ad!" She is taking too much joy in sending out a text message.

While Vanellope messes with her COMP, a mug of rootbeer with vanilla ice cream bobbing inside gets pushed down the bar to Death.

[acapriciousthing]

Death grins at the float. "That looks delicious." Someday she might stop thinking food was this amazing thing. But so far... not so much.
