Nic's totally right- he should be rationing them...
But that doesn't mean he's gonna acknowledge it.
"Ugh, give me a break, this is the first one." Grumble grumble he needs his fix... "There's gotta be something similar enough around here anyway."
Whether that's the stubbornness talking or the fact that Worick can't imagine a world without tobacco is anybody's guess. They'll find out eventually, he supposes.
He does take his time with this one as they walk, though, and even manages to make it last until the building comes into view at which point he drops the butt and grinds it into the dirt with his boot as he takes a second just to be impressed. It's more advanced than he'd been expecting, though really he should be all that surprised; trapping these pokemon things in those balls suggests that someone somewhere has the capability to develop the containers in the first place, which means this world can't be all assfuck nowhere. Still, it's pretty sick, and nicer than most everything in Ergastulum by a mile.
"This place just keeps getting more and more interesting," he says to Nic's back as he follows him inside, head swiveling in an attempt to asses the area and its inhabitants as quickly as possible. He spots a computer looking thing in one corner, couches, a smattering of variously aged people hanging around, a pokemon or two... Place is hoppin', that's for sure, and while you'd think that'd be a bad thing considering this place is supposed to be a hospital, most everyone appears to be as calm and peaceful as the rest of this strange world. Even the design of the place is smooth and neat, neutrally colored save for the bright red of those balls... Clean, too, cleaner than he'd expected while walking the dirt road to get here.
And the woman behind the counter? Just as placidly friendly as the rest, smiling with what Worick's reading as an almost disturbing vacancy. She's cute, but... He'll leave her up to Nic as he slides into the stool in front of one of the computer terminals to poke around, cracking his knuckles and pushing what he hopes is that Start Button. ACCESS THE PC...?
CASH MONEY jfc I love nic's stupid face..........
