A straw for the shield potion
I was still sticky from the syrup earlier, so I scuttled over to the beverage station to find some tactical hydration! Right by the soda machine sat a tall metal dispenser packed with paper-wrapped straws. I jumped up, grabbed the wrapper end of one dangling straw, and gave it an Olympic tug! Whoosh—the paper sheath slid right off with a loud crinkle, leaving me holding an empty paper sleeve while the bright red-and-yellow striped plastic tube dropped clattering across the silver counter! Perfect, now I have a giant loot telescope to scout the dining area.
