uno, dos, tres, CATORCE!

And so, the rocker voice of none other than U2's Paul Hewson pounded his eardrums. Well, he wasn't actually listening to the song, per se. Lux was stuck, unfortunately, in the middle of one of those dastardly "omgthereisasonginmyheadanditwillnotleavemyskull" spells. It had been partying in his cranium for over an hour now; ever since he'd stopped his own little stroll out about the campgrounds when he summoned his zune. Being a city boy himself, he could always find time to appreciate the outdoors. But what he could never appreciate were those mosquitoes...♪ ...Hello hello
(Hola)
I'm at a place called Vertigo
(Donde esta?)... ♫
Hands in his jean pockets, he marched towards Lassus Hall--it was just about time for nachos, he decided. Come on, Doritos were always an excuse to army-crawl through unknown enemy territory with the steel determination of an Arnold Schwarzenegger Terminator. Yeaaahhh!♪ ...I can't stand the beats
I'm asking for the cheque
The girl with crimson nails
Has Jesus 'round her neck
Swinging to the music
Swinging to the music... ♫
But the giant first trooper didn't realize that he was risking something more fragile than his own hide: he was risking a slice of his integrity going in there, no matter how small it was. From what he'd seen, there were always more than just a few other campers were in there. It didn't matter if (basically) all of 'em were shorter than him--no! The thought of people teasing him without something to let him know they meant it out of good humor was enough to make him wanna disappear.♪ ...Hello hello
(Hola)

A cold, metallic something hit his knuckle as he approached the hall. Lux paused his gait, took it out of his pocket and examined it. One Sacajawea "gold" coin was in his possession, and he really hoped it was enough for a bag of those heavenly Doritos.♪ ...It's everything I wish I didn't know
But you give me something... ♫
Without further ado, he kept it in his hand, and made for those seemingly big enough doors--
BANG.
POW.
CRASH.♪ ...I can feeeeeel,
FEEEEEEEEL... ♫
Ohh dayum, that probably hurt.
"Owowowow..."
From his pained, frustrated expression, it was clear to anyone who saw him crash into the doorway that it did. Rubbing his poor forehead and giving one of those "aw, maaan," semi-hisses after one hurts themself, Lux made a beeline (by no means associated with Dane Cook's definition of "beeline," which does involve loop-de-loops and buzzing noises, by the way) for the first vending machine with Doritos in stock. He had no clue how many people were inside Lassus Hall (he avoided eye contact with pretty much everyone; in a way Lux was putting up blinders to anything that wasn't stamped with "DORITOS - DANGEROUSLY BOLD" on it), but from what he could hear past Paul Hewson's vox, there was a good-sized crowd in there.
If there was any laughter (for sure at least some snickers came his way) when he crashed his way into the hall, he would't have heard it--Doritos were more important. With a CHINK and a tiny bit of clatter, the coin was inserted into the (now dwarfed) vending machine.
He bit his lip. For now, Lux had an important decision to make...
The unanswerable question.
