Dee Dee was looking around Paris her Cart was ready for any food request, it would just take time to properly assemble it for service again, but for now she was taking a look around the place to see what she could help with other then food, the place was bustling likely due to the area having just opened and people moving in to get things set up, so that made sense, but a lot of places were still empty, but she was sure they will fill in with time as more people came, it was a low risk zone after all so it was likely to be used for a village in the city and likely in the areas that made the outskirts since it was the next safest place there then the Safe zones and there was only so much room in the Safe zones.

Coming around the corner Dee Dee pulled her Cart with BombDee and Kramer walking along side her while Jimmy rested on her head as usual, Though for a while now Dee Dee had to wonder if Jimmy would end up being a Queen ant? that would be interesting, then again he could also end up being a king.. or just a soldier, Ether way she couldn't wait to see how strong he became and what kind of Ant he turned out to be!

But coming around the corner would put her in view of many people enjoying the limited shops that had opened up, some waved to her who recognized the small girl and her small cart, others looked oddly at her this being their first time seeing her, or even seeing a food cart like this since the world changed. Dee Dee was quite happy that new people were seeing her since that meant she could hand out more Beginners guides as well!

Dee Dee waved to a few people that recognized her, but no one seemed interested in food at the moment, so she had planned to keep going, but then someone walked up and spoke to her and so Dee Dee looked over and up at the taller girl and blinked a moment then she listened to what she had to ask, it seemed she was hoping for some food and Dee Dee nodded rapidly, with that she set the cart and started to unfold it, BombDee and Kramer helping as well until eventually the whole food cart was unfolded showing it had enough cooking surfaces for any type of cooking Imaginable, it even had what looked to be a fridge, which was actually a mini Fridge Dee Dee upgraded to, with the ice fang as the means to keep it cold, still isolating the fang just in case but from what she found it was safe, but always had to be careful.

With the whole food cart unfolded it was easily three times larger then it had been when it was folded up and in travel mode, and Dee Dee added the finishing touches pulling a cord and the top of the cart opened and out came the large Tomato sight with the words "Maximum Tomato" written along it and the two menus would unfold showing a Tomato Menu, which was food with Tomatoes in them, and a normal menu with had more normal food. Then pulling another rope a little banner rolled into place with "Now with Forge access!" and a side panel opened up to show the pricings to use the forge.

After all that was done she looked to the Taller woman and gave a thumbs up as a word bubble appeared next to her and rather then Talk the word bubble filled in with Text "Welcome to the Maximum Tomato! I am Dee Dee the owner and these are my Friends BombDee, Kramer, and Jimmy!" as she named them they each took a moment to greet Vanilla, BombDee the Waddle-dee giving a little salute, Kramer the baby Dragon giving a happy little roar and waving to her, and Jimmy nodding a bit to her, being a larva he really couldn't make much noise. Then each creature moved over to different places in the unfolded food cart, BombDee setting up beside the grill with Dee Dee, Kramer settling down on a cushion by the ovens and grills, and Jimmy sitting beside a little sign with a an arrow on it that said "food waste goes here" and they seemed quite happy to settle in there.

"So what did you wanna order?" the question popped up in the Word Bubble as Dee Dee looked up at her as she set the cooking surfaces and instruments to heat up.

Dee Dees cooking surfaces were reaching temp as she looked to the woman her Word Bubble popped up once more "OH right what's your name by the way?" the bubble asked as Dee Dee started to work on the a Tomatonator meal since the girl asked for any dish she could make with her materials on hand, the good new was she had a LOT of materials. She always had a well stocked food cart after all, BombDee started by putting the two meat patties on the grill while Dee Dee made the fruit juice, the meat would need a bit mor time then anything else, well technically the Juice would since it needed to chill but that would be fine as she popped the cup into the cold box and started to prep the Tomato for Roasting in the oven.

"I have problems talking so it's handy I got this speech bubble to help me communicate, before I would need to write on a notepad till a learned someone's name then I could just sent Messages through the messenger system! so this made it a lot easier to communicate then before since I just have to think about what I wanna say and it fills in for me" the word Bubble would display as Dee Dee continued to work on the Tomatonator, cutting the top off of a Tomato and then spicing and oiling the whole tomato before popping it into the oven, all while BombDee buttered some bun and put them on the grill to toast.

"As for the food cart I do this more to supply people with a sense of normality considering how life is now, it can do the mind a world of good to have something as simple and familiar as food from a food cart, the nominal fee I charge is just enough to cover the cost of ingredients is all, also the Food Cart is to attract people so I can give them a Beginners guide" the word bubble Continued as Kramer grabbed a Beginners guide and handed it to Vanilla. The Guide's title was "Waddle-Dee Dees beginners guide to the System" with a little Waddle-dee Version of Dee Dee waving with a word bubble above it that said "Let's learn together!" It also had the words "Don't Panic" Written in big friendly letters on the back cover, and the whole book was clearly hand made. if she looked into the book she would see it was written to be easy to understand, no Jargon, and with lots of easy to understand Diagrams that were also well labeled, it covered basic survival, field notes on useful plants, Tips for safely earning points for those that were not combat classes so they could at least earn enough to live well enough, and in the back there was a bestiary with monsters with illustrations of them as well as tactics, though it was prefaced that this only covered ones she has met or heard of so variants could exist. And Finally in the very back would be a Glossary of terms that many people used, like slang or Gamer terms that many used in the new world After the Flash to help those understand that didn't know the lingo.

"As for Paris I like it all well enough, another low danger zone is nice, people will likely move in since here is only so much space in the safe zones, and there are more resources out in the lower and medium danger zones then there are in the safe zones, granted many that come out to a place like this would be more likely to have at least a few levels under their belts to the point where they are confident in their own abilities" the bubble replied as BombDee was now putting in the onion rings and Dee Dee added real cheese to the Burgers letting it melt a bit before grabbing a wooden plate and putting the bottom bun down, then some light sauce, then the burger patties with the Melted cheese, this was topped with a bit more sauce but not a lot, and finally she took the roasted Tomato out of the oven and cut the bottom off and placed the tomato on the burgers before adding the top bun and placing that all on a wooden serving tray, BombDee placing the Onion rings in a shallow bowl and placing that on the tray as well. Finally she grabbed the now chilled juice and placed that on the tray finishing the Tomatonator Meal "Here is your meal, first time visitors don't have to pay for their meal since it's on the house the first time" she gave a thumbs up. the dishes were also obviously hand made, with little carvings of Waddle-dee's and Tomato's on them.

On getting the girls name Dee Dee waved to her as her word bubble popped up "Nice to meet you Vanilla!" she greeted her by name, and then she looked at her a moment as she asked about her inability to talk and Dee Dee blushed just a bit "Two reasons really, Waddle-dee don't talk, but that's a long story, second is I have... a bit of a Communicative disorder...." as her Word Bubble mentioned the first reason she blushed a bit, then blushed even more pointing out the other problem, not pointing out that the first caused the second, She wasn't about to mention her whole past issue when she was growing up, well for now anyway, but she was was glad she wasn't as bad as some people who had her same disorder, she just found it really hard to talk for herself, changing her voice to talk through her Summons was okay since no one could know it was her, and text was fine to, but actually speaking? That was kind of out of the question still. The only people she ever talked to before was her parents.

She let Vanilla look over the beginners guide, it would also have diagrams to point things out and help figure out the system, mission board, messenger, friends lists, Guilds, all the info was in there. Hearing Vanilla say she seemed good at making Guides Dee Dee blushed and rubbed the back of her head "Aww I just make it in a way that I know would be easy for me to understand then I remove all jargon and stuff like that so anyone that doesn't know that stuff can learn, after all everyone popping in out of their tutorials aren't going to understand game terms and slang used by everyone" Though on seeing her hand the guide back she looked to Kramer who placed the guide next to Vanilla's arm once more. "Keep the guide, I have enough to give out tons, and who knows the Bestiary in the back could come in handy for you, or there might be something in there you didn't know about! she gave a little thumbs up as her Word bubble did all the displaying of her text.

"As for the free food, yeah it's free I am sure, it's always better to let people get food and a guide for free the first time, haven't had any complaints, besides I can just do some missions to make up for handing out free stuff so it's perfectly fine! Oh and if you want something from a different region of the world lemme know! as you can see I have quite a selection of menu Items, From The US to Japan and all places in between! after all if people are from different places in the world they would have different comfort or familiar foods! The Tomatonator I made for you is one that my Father always made for us before the flash, so I am making it since it's so good and easy to make!" she started to clean the cookware used as her Word bubble informed Vanilla of all this.

Dee Dee gave a little nod and then watched as Vanilla poked at her word bubble, which wriggled and moved when it was poked, proving it was indeed interactable, making Dee Dee nod again to her question, she didn't really think to much of her silly item, she was just glad she had a way to communicate that didn't require her hands anymore, it still meant in a situation where her allies couldn't see her she would be required to send messages the normal way, or talk through her summons, which she would make up a fake voice for them, but it was still handy to not have to type or write so she could work her food cart better and just generally do things while conversing.

Dee Dee gave a thumbs up "it's a Very handy resource! it even has things like Merchants that are in business, and some of the guilds forming, I think there is also a Guild of Merchants being set up! at least that's what two people told me that were planning it!" the Word bubble informed Vanilla as Dee Dee finished washing the dishes and started to put them away all the while making sure to check on a few things, popping in some bread for later customers or just for her Summons to enjoy as part of a meal.

on top of that she started to do some prep work to make sure she had all the ingredients she would need for a full service since she knew some people would be coming here now that her Banner was up that marked her place on the Mini-map, thanks to that item it didn't take long for crowds to gather normally New ones and regulars simply from the fact that the new people were wondering what the Marker on the mini-map even meant and regulars because of her selection of food. But as she did her prep work Vanilla asked her a question and Dee Dee answered with her Word bubble.

"Oh that glad you liked the burger, as for my cooking skills it started on me wanting to be helpful in the kitchen then my parents helped me learned all types of cooking types and I did a lot of self learning on the subject so no matter what I could help out if I ever needed to help someone in a restaurant! this was long before the flash though and honestly I didn't think it was likely to happen and it never really did, but those skills came in handy for the way the world is now since I can make a food cart and get people some familiar feeling food and a Beginners guidebook! if you want to visit again in the future I have all sorts of menus and all the means to make everything so feel free to order anything on your next visit, I even has forge Access if you need that service" she gave a thumbs up as she continued her prep work while her summons took out a ball and started to play with it since there wasn't much work to do yet.
