[TOY] Plaything

POLKA DOT: I said I'd do two hours, gimme the overtime.
POLKA DOT: Not like I have anywhere else to go, right?
VINE: Fair enough, you gonna eat first?
POLKA DOT: Yeah, I was just about to ask.
VINE: Let's take a break and get you some food then, you said you were hungry when you came in.
 

She gestures to your flopped attempt at the special from earlier. 

VINE: Give that a shot. Once you're done with work for real, we can get something more substantial in your belly.
 

You pick up the plate and follow Vine as she takes you to a break room in the back, the chef sitting down with you and handing you a fork. 

VINE: Best off eating dough with silverware. Unlike plastic food, it tends to fade a lot faster, usually with every bite.
POLKA DOT: Got it.
 

You take a piece off of your dough creation and raise it to your mouth, surprised as the taste of fresh cake and whipped cream comes to mind. It immediately makes the hunger pangs in your belly fade away, and before you know it, you're digging in. Like Vine said, every "bite" you take of it makes more dough disappear, and it doesn't take long for you to have a clean plate.

VINE: Dough's a bit more expensive than the plastic stuff, because it's so easy to dissipate...
VINE: But it's not as pricey as miniatures, considering you can usually find lots of dough in big quantities. 
POLKA DOT: Makes sense...
POLKA DOT: I guess. I don't like that you have to pay for any of it.
VINE: You and me both, Ribbon...
 

She reclines in her chair, and you can't help but do the same. 

VINE: We've got some time before we gotta head back, the other chefs'll handle the next wave of diners fine.
VINE: You have anything you want to ask a veteran of this place, newbie?
