[Hello, Luceti! Have another accidental recording over the journal network. This time, you'll hear is two similarly shrill voices arguing over each other. A peek at the camera reveals something leafy and green...]

Somethin' wrong with your ears, buddy? I already said I'd rather race off a cliff before I'd eat one of those!!

But don't you want to be big and strong like your friend, little girl?

Uh, no? AI's don't grow up to be anything, genius. [DRAMATIC EYEROLL] Also, I don't care what you say, that stuff's nasty.

But it's good for you!

Gross is what it is! Leave me alone!!

[The camera then shifts around, only to show a flurry of pixels flickering in place! When that clears, the setting is clearly different (outdoors this time!) and a nine year old's face is peering into the journal.]

So some kid with a stupid name keeps tryin' to poison me, guys. What do I do?

[Vanellope just scowls through all this, rolling her eyes.]

Sure, okay. Whatever makes you happy. Me, I'm good with my peanut brittle and Nesquick and stuff.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

What's Nesquick? I've never heard of that before.

[Voice]

[sugarglitch]

Ooh, it's this powdered mix thing! You add water to it and you get only a really great drink out of it! Way better than some lame plant if you ask me!

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Powdered... mix? Oh, you mean like Kool-Aid? I guess that stuff is pretty neat. The kind I tried tasted a little strange, though.

[Voice]

[sugarglitch]

[See, now this is familiar territory! Vanellope nods.]

Sorta; Nesquick's all chocolatey and awesome and Kool-Aid's just... Kool-Aid. [She shrugs; never was a big fan of the stuff.]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Chocolatey?

[He's a little unsure about that until something clicks in his head.]

Oh, so like chocolate milk? Not like... chocolate Kool-Aid. I think that would be kind of gross.

[Voice]

[sugarglitch]

I dunno, chocolate-anything is better than anything without chocolate!

But yeah, it's like chocolate milk! You should try some some time, Emil!

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Do you think I could find it in the store? If they have Kool-Aid there sometimes, they should probably have Nesquick too, right? I just have to know what it looks like so I know what to search for.
