About a half hour later, there was movement outside. 90s Kid had been up all night playing Sega until now; he always ended up with the munchies in the middle of the night, so he came down to the kitchen to hunt down some pop tarts. Maybe this time the machine wouldn't burn it.

Caught up in his task, he didn't notice anything weird about the layout of the kitchen, and just turned on the lights as he headed for the food synthesizer.
