Day 2, continued

[kentucky_mcgiygas]

[ Around lunchtime, the tablets and screens located all around the studio turn on, in the way that they always do when the mascots have something to announce. Unusually, however, there is no music, no fanfare; the camera is out of focus, and Ronald doesn’t even seem to be looking at it. Instead, he's turned to King, ]

—supposed to be 40! What the McFuck are you doing? Can you even count?

[ The King stares. ]

You gave out 41! The Colonel would never screw up like that!

[ The King stares. ]

And what's this, "Quarter Pounder or Whopper" garbage? Those aren't equivalent burgers, you fake-grill-line-adding piece of shit! I'd better not see this referencing this in your next ad campaign!

[ The King offers a Whopper. Ronald McDonald smacks it out of his hand. He starts to yell again, but cuts himself off, turning his head toward the camera. ]

—Are we rolling!? Grimace, kill the feed!

[ The screens switch off. ]

((lol I goofed, there are actually 41 votes to go around.

Is that what we're calling it now?

[swampwitch]

Bodes well, doesn't it? We can only go up from here.

[...yeah she clearly has no faith in anyone]

[golden_dream]

Who on Earth is the Colonel? Is the military involved, now?

[meatitfeedson]

[Okay that has her laughing really hard.]

I'd pay to see that. I was kicked out of mine for breaking the rules, and you have no idea how tempting that was.

[keybroad]

Do you not have KFC at the Ushiromiya family Christmas dinner? Oh my god, I feel so low class right now.

[andascholar]

Then please allow me to escort you.

[Leading her to the kitchen.]

[andascholar]

Thank you Santa.

[Writing that down.]

What's wrong with Dee?

[godhole]

Last time we voted on who to kick out rather than who to keep in. Also, it was Colonel Sanders instead of the Burger King.

[godhole]

Colonel Sanders. These two are burger mascots, whereas he's for fried chicken.

[jinglebros]

Try talking to her, then you'll know.

[godhole]

No, that is entirely new.

[jinglebros]

I encourage you to smack a few when you get back home.

[ Firm nod. ]

[meatitfeedson]

That would be nice.

[Except she wants to get along with the Ushiromiyas and her family would literally kill her....]

I bet you're the kind of street punk who gets into all sorts of fights. Am I right?

[jinglebros]

Hah, as if! I've gotten into like maybe three fights in my life. Got my ass kicked in all of them.

[meatitfeedson]

I guess I had a cooler image of you, you should have gone along with it!

[jinglebros]

Hey, I got punched in the stomach by a psychopath and lived, that's cool shit!

[golden_dream]

...Oh, more fast-food?

[keybroad]

Yeah. Za kahneru. He's the mascot of "Kentucky Fried Chicken". They did this big marketing campaign before I was even born where they showed all these happy foreigners eating their chicken during Christmas.

Apparently Americans don't even do it like that. But, you know, it's good meat and it's something special...

:3

[unexpectedboner]

So I'm a little eager-to-please! There's worse things.

<3

[jinglebros]

Way worse things.

[golden_dream]

...I think I do remember hearing something like that. Vaguely. I can't say I ever did it, myself. Too busy for Christmas, looking forward instead to shougatsu.

[meatitfeedson]

Those things? Did you have a hard time with the joke category?

[Is it time to teach a sucker merry barrels??]

Wordplay and puns are always a good way to go.

[meatitfeedson]

Well that depends on the context, I sure hope a punch wouldn't kill you, but if they had a gun to your head or something... Then I'm very impressed, you're definitely my coolest son.

[meatitfeedson]

I wonder if they're going to paint grill lines on him too.

[meatitfeedson]

You seem to be getting along well, Rosa-san, I'm glad.

[As in, she normally doesn't get much of a chance to see Rosa in good spirits, it's a good change, especially given the circumstances, it's important to not spend the whole time grim.]
