Hal Henderics Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 -Grilby's Rachel enters the restaurant, finding a variety of kookie looking monsters. Toriel follows in after her, and the children at last escape her arms, scampering over to a booth nearby. She overhears a few conversations as she approaches the bar with the rest of the party. "I hear human food is different from monster food. Not only does it do things like 'spoil', but apparently it goes all the way through your body. Disgusting... I'd love to try it some time." A gigantic venus-fly-trap says, mulling over an omelette. A swirly eyed rabbit slams down another glass of a glowing orange drink. "No matter where I go, it's the same menu, the same people... Help! I wan' new drinks an' h-h-h hot guys!" they lament to themselves. As Rachel approaches the bar, Sans looks at the others. He notes down everyone's orders, and glances at Ignia and Frisk. The living flame-elemental finishes wiping the glass they're holding, and walks into the kitchen to make the orders. Sans casually combs the back of his skull with a cheap plastic comb.

Chevaleresse Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 The sandwich was. . . surprisingly invigorating. She wasn't sure if she enjoyed it for the taste, or simply for how hungry she actually was. "This is actually really good!" She looked around. "Thanks for the food. Do you know where that weird skeleton guy went?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Henderics Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Burgerpants looks nervous. "Mettaton gets upset if I get too chummy with the customers..." He shrugs. "Who knows. Sans just kinda shows up from time to time. He works here as a comedian, he's pretty funny." "But take it from me little buddy, don't get mixed up with popular people. They'll just take advantage of you," they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevaleresse Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 "It's a little too late for that. . ." Entangled with popular people might not have been the phrasing she would have applied, but it was certainly one way to refer to her. "If Mettaton would really get mad at you, though, I'll leave you alone. Sorry to bother you." If that was true, this Mettaton didn't sound very nice. She made a mental note to avoid whoever it was if the situation came up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Henderics Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 "Well, he doesn't really get mad... It's more like he has this... CD he plays..." Burgerpants's face turns sour. "Filled with songs about how bad I am at my job..." He shakes his head at Lucine's declaration of it being too late. "You've still got time little buddy! Don't end up like me." He leans back with a sly smile as he takes a puff. "I'm 19 years old and I've already wasted my entire life." "Don't worry about it. It's only against the rules for me to talk to customers who haven't paid yet. Everyone calls me Burgerpants," he says. Though, he sounds resigned with the name.

kj1225 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Arminius shrugs at the comment about his drink choice. "Long day, besides I always make it a point to try the local drinks. As for your brother... No bones about it, he's got spirit.... Maybe could bone up on his trap work, but if he kept up that performance even if we were less friendly, I'd say nothing could rattle him." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormLord Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Ignia shrugs at Sans' question and takes another bite of her food to stall for a second.

Hal Henderics Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 -Grillby's As the others talk, Grillby returns with everyone's orders. Sans smiles a bit wider, and passes Rachel his burger, noticing she arrived too late to order with everyone else. He laughs a bit in spite of himself. He pauses for a moment. The whole building goes quiet. Spoiler He looks at everyone's faces, and settles on Ignia. Frisk swallows, focusing on their food. It seems this caught them badly off guard. He says to Ignia, as if she has any clue what he's going on about. He waits for a few moments before sharing his conclusion. He stretches wide, letting out a yawn as the noises in the room return to their usual volume. Grillby rolls their eyes behind their glasses.

Chevaleresse Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 "He plays a CD telling you how bad you are at your job? That's really mean." This Mettaton sounded more and more unpleasant by the moment. "Why would he do something like that?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Henderics Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Burgerpants becomes much more lively. "That's attractive people for you! If you aren't 'One of them', they're just going to take advantage of you." "Like those two chicks that hang out in the alley here who asked me to sneak them some glamburgers. And I, naive teenager that I was, said yes to them..." His face scrunches up nervously. "bad idea." "So I went to the alley to see those two chicks, and uhh... see what'd happen next!" "Then my boss saw me and asked me what I was doing..." "I was so startled, the hamburgers in my pockets tumbled out and fell onto the ground..." "Not wanting to lose face, I scrambled to pick them up, but the weight of the remaining hamburgers..." ... "...Caused my pants to fall down." "Then the girls laughed at me." He looks morose. "Everyone calls me Burgerpants now." He shakes his head, turning back to the subject of Mettaton. "Anyway, I wanted to be an actor!" "When I first came to hotland, it was my dream to work with Mettaton!.." He chuckles derisively. "Well, be careful what you wish for, little buddy!" "God, I mean, have you even looked around? This place is a labyrinth of bad choices! And every time we try to change things for the better, Mettaton vetos it, and says;" He begins speaking in a mocking robotic tone. "Oh! That's not how they do it on the surface!" He scowls. "Oh! Right! Because humans are always eating hamburgers made out of sequins and glue!" He sighs. "Why do people find him so attractive?! He's literally just a freakin' rectangle!" "..." "One time, I uhh... Bought one of those kits online... to... uh..." "Make yourself more rectangular." "...They don't work" he mutters. On a roll, Burgerpants continues his ranting, now that he's started. "Nothing down here ever changes. I'll probably be stuck at this stupid job forever." After a few moments, he forces himself to smile. "But wait! There's one thing that keeps me going!" he says. "If ASGORE gets just one more SOUL, we'll all get to go to the surface!" he says, smiling as hard as he can make himself. "It'll be a brand new world! There's got to be a second chance out there for me! For everyone!" He leans back with a sly smile as he takes another toke. "So stay strong little buddy. When I make it big, I'll keep you in mind!" he says with a smile. "Need anything else?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodofGamingRWBY Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Proditor For a self proclaimed failure, what Burgerpants had said gave Proditor quite a bit of information on the situation, the name of their sudden, skeletal benefactor being just one of them. Namely, the dream of leaving was the one thing keeping everyone down here going, a hope that was finally within their reach. He would admit that this 'Mettaton' sounded awful, telling others how bad they are, even for one mistake, was not a thing Proditor could approve of. "I believe we are fine. Keep holding onto that hope, it is likely closer to fruition than you would believe" Proditor stated, as still and calm as ever while giving his sympathy for the poor soul. With that though, Proditor spun around, floating out of the restaurant, moving to the side of the door and patiently waiting for Lucine to follow.

kj1225 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Arminius looks at Sans out of the corner of his eye as the skeleton describes what his brother had seen.

Yours Truly Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Jun nods gently at Napstablook's direction, doing a fair bit of stretches as she stands up from her refreshing, if melancholic lie down. "Yeah, I've kinda been on edge for a while, it's nice to just...lay down and get some rest once in a while" she said as she slowly wandered over to the door, "And thanks for the tip, I'll see you around." After saying her goodbyes to the nice ghost person, Jun heads off to try and find the aforementioned 'river person.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Henderics Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 -Waterfall Jun arrives to a river with a boat on it. On the boat is a cloaked figure, and on the boat's figurehead is a goofy looking dog's face carved into the wood. "Where would you like to go?" they ask.

Yours Truly Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 "Nowhere actually, I'm here to try and find out where some people have gone," Jun casually said, as she sidled up to the boat itself, trying to make out what the river person actually looked like underneath their all concealing cloak. "Have you seen a human kid in a blue shirt wandering around these parts lately? Or a guy wearing mainly orange?." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Henderics Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 -Waterfall "Nope. Would you like to go to Hotland, or perhaps Snowdin?" they ask. (19, 20) Jun tries to figure out what's under the cloak, but... There's nothing underneath it, as far as Jun's sophisticated sensor array can tell.

Yours Truly Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Jun considers the river person's offer for a moment, before she eventually decides that sticking around in this place might be the wiser decision for now, "Nah I'm fine for now, but if you see anyone that fits the description, or a bunch of dudes in full armor walking by, please tell them that Jun is waiting in the waterfall or something." She then waves the person good bye, before she heads off to try and find out what the turtle is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
