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.

[ Santa starts laughing really hard. ]

You know I was fucking kidding about that, right?

[meatitfeedson]

Really? Well now you've raised my hopes and dashed them all, that's definitely on the 'no' list too.

[of course she knew, or assumed anyway.]

[jinglebros]

I think 'doing your mom' is on the no list too, just saying. This ain't no porn series.

[meatitfeedson]

[Okay it's her turn to laugh.]

That should probably be at the top of the list, you're right. I'm not sure there's much else to put on either list, it's mostly bullshit anyway.

[jinglebros]

At least you admit it's bullshit.

[meatitfeedson]

I'm too deeply entrenched in the bullshit to not recognise it as such.

[She's laughing about it, but actually it is pretty annouing, and yet she goes along with it anyway.]

[jinglebros]

Oh yeah? How's that?

[meatitfeedson]

Where should I even start? My husband's family expects that a wife looks after the home, so I don't work anymore. But that pushes it all on him and makes him think needing my help is shameful, while I'm bored out of my skull and worrying over the state of things at work. All those things are for show and no one really wants them. It's a more extreme example than "open a door for a woman," but still.

[jinglebros]

[ Santa raises his eyebrows real high. ]

What the fuuuuck.

[meatitfeedson]

Right? [But she laughs, shrugging.]

You don't even know how much worse I can do, that's tame on the "messed up family rules" scale. Be glad you're adopted.

[jinglebros]

Sounds like someone needs to smack a few bitches.

[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.

[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!

[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.

[jinglebros]

There was a gun involved, sure.

[ Santa just happened to be the one holding the gun... ]

[meatitfeedson]

[Santa don't be a bad kid.]

Just like an action star!

...Seriously though, between you and June, you're really going to make me worry.

[jinglebros]

[ DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO 8| ]

Eh? Why're we gonna worry you?

[meatitfeedson]

Kidnappings, psychopaths...why wouldn't I?

[jinglebros]

[ Santa puts on his best innocent smile. ]

Why, we're just normal people who happen to get in a lot of bad situations.

[meatitfeedson]

I mean, I could say the same and tell some wild stories, but it still doesn't hold a candle.

[Not yet (that she knows of), give it another few hours of canon point.]

[jinglebros]

You sure about that? Tell me a wild story.
