[When JW wasn't snoozing in Jack's super cool mansion, he was seeing the sights. He's never been in a big city like this before and it's pretty easy to get turned around. Blocks and blocks of walking make a man tired and hungry, so when he shoulders open the Game Corner doors to escape the wind, he spots a candy machine. A single candy bar is left in one of the spiral rings.]
[Hot Stuff pokes her head out of JW's jacket and looks around, waving her little mandibles. She nearly gets whiplash when her trainer makes a B-line for the machine.]
[Hoo boy he sure did get lucky! It sure would be awful if somebody else had arrived at the machine at the same time!]
[oh my god and they arrived at the vending machine at the same time]
[In one of those ironic fits of fate, both Chip's and JW's hands hit the number pad at the same time without either of them realizing the other is there until the last minute. Chip jumps slightly in surprise, not expecting someone else, and is almost about to apologize before they turn and actually see who it is.]
[Naturally, JW with his tunnel-vision and unusual height don't notice the bundle of fury directly below him. That is, until they both hit the number 4.]
Wh--euah!
[He springs back, arms flared out to the sides. They had surprised him--but once he realizes who it is, he quickly straightens up and smooths out his jacket. Their last meeting was less than stellar.]

I beg to differ.

[It came out as a squawk. JW lurches forward, forming a human arch over top of Chip, and claps both hands over the coin slot.]
Get lost! I need this!
