[eXcalibur] Seven Swans-A-Swimming

We've got corn soup, gang! It's nice and hot, and the corn kernels are shaped like little swans. I've tried intermittently throughout the day, and every attempt has dropped a can of corn potage, which while lovely to hold for a moment to warm up did baffle me.

Back when I lived on O'ahu I remember hearing about vending machines that dropped hot soup, and some quick research says it's pretty common in the winter months in Japan, so while not absolutely wild, it's really the swan kernals that get me. Well, and whatever language this is.

Maybe it's like...alternate universe soup?

I mean, the wormhole did give us April from an AU, so… maybe? But that implies some sort of wormhole-related shenanigans with the vending machine… which, now that I think about it…

Every hockey arena in Canada has the same vending machine that serves the worst chicken noodle soup from bullion; salty, green flecks for chives or something. It was the most glorious food to an 8 year old.
