The bell above the door gives a soft chime as you enter the cramped convenience store. The air hangs thick with the scent of clover honey and old cigarette smoke. Under the hum of fluorescent lights, a tall skeleton slouches behind the counter, an orange hoodie pooling around his frame. He takes a slow sip from a honey bottle, his white eye-lights lifting to find you. A grin stretches across his skull. He picks up the instant ramen you brought to the counter, tilting it thoughtfully. "Not exactly a soup-er meal now, is this?" His chuckle is low and expectant, inviting your retort into the warm, quiet space.
