A Grocery Store, St. John's, Newfoundland, Monday Afternoon
Having dumped her bag in her new room, Natalie didn't waste time hanging around the hotel. She wanted to check something immeditaely, so she headed out, and kept walking until she found a grocery store. A moment later, she was standing in front of the coolers that held the soft drinks. She wasn't sure how those had become the main emblem of the Right Way of Things for her since she'd barely paid attention to that stuff back home, but regardless, they had. It was a quick and easy way to see whether she was home or not, considering how no one in Fandom seemed to expect the same kinds of things from them as she did.
It shouldn't have taken her as long as it did to actually reach for a bottle of Pepsi, but maybe she already knew how this would turn out, and was just putting off the inevitable. Turning the bottle over so she could take a look at the back of the label confirmed this, All the basic facts were there, all familiar in both English and French, but it still wasn't what she'd expected – – no, hoped for. Nothing about +1 to speed or anything else to that effect. Not a word about any side effects. She would've even welcomed the sight of a -2 to intelligence if it would've meant this place recognized things that she'd taken for granted at home. But no.
A couple other checked bottles later, Natalie allowed herself a moment of looking disappointed. This would be another week of not quite feeling at home. Fantastic.
[ooc: Mostly establishy, but can be open whether you are intent on finding her or just want to stumble into the same store, sure. Just be warned I may be SP-y in places.]
