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.

The lady in the purple dress?

[jinglebros]

Yeah! [ He smiles. ] That's her.

[rowboats]

She helped me look for Mary. She seemed nice.

[ approval granted ]

[jinglebros]

She's really nice. But she's also really precious. So we need to make sure she's taken care of.

[rowboats]

Is she sick, or something? She looked okay when we talked.

[jinglebros]

She used to be. And she's important, so we can't let her get sick anymore.

[rowboats]

Is there anything I can do to help her?

[ :c don't get sick again june you were so nice ]

[jinglebros]

[ Santa can think of a few things, but he's not going to use the children as a voting resource until he absolutely needs it. ]

Just be really, really nice to her. She's feeling sad lately and she needs some cheering up.

[rowboats]

[ a look of resolve!! ]

Okay! I'll think of all the best jokes I know.

[jinglebros]

She'd really like that. She's into puns.
