Week 2 [Day 5 - Day 7]

[calloperators]

[Well, that sure was a time.

When everyone wakes up this morning, one of the first things they're realize that the Mcdonald's suddenly looks abandoned. And not just from the fire, but it looks like it hasn't been open in years. The whole building looks like it could fall apart at any moment, and the entire Playplace is covered in rust.

Even the Ronald McDonald statue! D-:

However, if you ask any of the residents about the McDonald's, they still act as though is still open, and you'll most likely get some weird looks when you ask any questions about it that doesn't involve the weirdness of McPizza.

And, for those who have been here before, starting this week, you'll get a strange overwhelming sense that this place is familiar to you. You can't place how or why, but the sense of deja vu is persistent, and will stick with you for a long while. It's undeniable--you've definitely been here before, but you can't recall....

But hey, that's probably fine, right?]

[...The fuck are you wearing.

That said, though, he'll watch Xander doing his thing for a while before speaking up.]

You're actually not bad.

[advancements]

[listen you've gotta learn how to fight in jeans here, it's practically a requirement.]

Thank you.

[He noticed Michalis, but figured Michalis would speak up when he wanted to, so he'll pause now that the other king has.]

Lances aren't my primary weapon, but I don't want to neglect my training.

[And it's not like he's found a sword just yet.]

[iote]

I imagined they weren't.

[...thanks, asshole.]

I still don't care much for how light those are, but I've taken one and sharpened it enough to be sufficient.

[advancements]

It's a shame they aren't sturdy enough to spar with, I would enjoy a partner to practice with.

[they're worse than bronze weapons!!!]

[iote]

Perhaps we're just not looking in the right places.

[advancements]

There certainly is a lot to see here; it's possible we've missed where they're keeping them.

[surely there's more than just those weird-looking weapons, right...]

I do intend to look around the city more and see what all I can find.

[And speaking of that...]

Have you been by the McDonald's recently?

[iote]

[He glances away a bit at that; the noise he makes is...trying to be derisive but doesn't quite get there.]

No. Why would I?

[advancements]

It looks as though the place has changed quite a bit. I went by there last night and it looked as though the building had been shut down for years.

[...]

I was also greeted by... well, I believe it was the ghosts of Pyro and Ray.

[He sounds a bit uncertain, mostly because he still has no idea if that was real or if they were actually ghosts. It could've been some kind of technology bullshit he doesn't understand??]

[iote]

...What?

[That...sounds kind of like bullshit, honestly, but Xander looks like the sort of person who could lie for three seconds before apologizing.]

Are you certain?

[advancements]

[oh my god, thanks michalis...]

I am. I spoke to both of them for a little while. Pyro told me to "search for the static". It seems that they still exist and were able to show themselves momentarily.

[iote]

[listen lying doesn't seem ~noble~ enough for you]

...I see.

[HE REALLY DOESN'T SEE.]

I'm not sure how that's supposed to be helpful. But... Let me know if you find anything else.

[advancements]

[well. fair. he only did it out of necessity and would prefer not to, so.]

I will.

[...]

I don't know if you want to see Pyro, but you could always check the McDonald's. Pyro was... in the state they died in, however.

[Head injury and all. It was kinda gross.]

[iote]

...Oh, you mean they're...

[His hand kind of shifts up to play with his bangs a bit? It's not a conscious motion, and he makes himself stop as soon as he realizes.]

...Yes, well. I suppose I'll bear that in mind.

[advancements]

It was... a bit jarring, to put it lightly.

[...]

They weren't in pain, however. They acted exactly as they had while alive, so I do believe it was them and not a fake.

[But you never know. Sometimes a slime monster poses as your dad for years it's fine????]

[iote]

[that's. fine, probably.]

...They are distinctive, aren't they.

[advancements]

Yes. I would have noticed if anything had been off.

[...]

I know it is a bit hard to imagine that such a thing could be possible, so thank you for believing me.

[iote]

I don't think you would lie to me about something like this.

[...]

And you seem like you would be a poor liar besides.

[advancements]

I've never been particularly good at it.

[oh my god.]

I thought it was important to let you know.

[iote]

Consider it appreciated, then. I don't know that anything will be done with that information, but it's good to have it in the first place.

[advancements]

Of course. I thought it better for you to know than to be surprised.

[iote]

Yes, of course.

[...look

he knows exactly why you're telling him this

he is not going to thank you like a reasonable person

he isn't sure what you expected]

[advancements]

[he is not even slightly surprised. it's fine, it's not like he minds any.]

I'll be sure to tell you if I find out anything more.

[iote]

[xander if you die here he promises he will be a pallbearer at your funeral

just so he can let you down one last time]

Good.

[...]

How did the message today strike you?

[advancements]

[thanks, michalis, you're a pal.]

It was very strange. I was expecting another threat.

[He's honestly not sure what to do with this, and it probably shows.]

[iote]

It seems they've moved on to bribing us instead.

Is there anything you would want? Given what they were offering.
