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.

[Focusing on her tea.]

I'd rather be sober for whatever happens.

[ranked27]

That shows a lot of fortitude. Not everyone would dare to face the unknown without fear.

[This tea isn't very good. One of these days Ronove will make truly good tea]

[refusedtoleave]

[Shush, if you remind her she'll remember how bad it is.]

You say that. But you're doing the same, aren't you?

[ranked27]

I consider myself willing to accept whatever may happen.

[He pauses for a moment]

That doesn't mean I won't make an effort to change the situation if it's unfavorable. I'd rather to not fall into inaction.

[refusedtoleave]

Good, not doing anything would be- [She actually looks at him.

Then jolts away.] Who are you?

[ranked27]

[Ronove doesn't seem to notice her reaction]

My name is Ronove.

[refusedtoleave]

You look like some- Is that your first or last name?

[ranked27]

It's my first name.

[Do demons even have last names? Heck if I know, hah]

You must be mistaking me for someone else.

[refusedtoleave]

You look like someone I know, granted he hasn't had black hair in a while...

[Frowning, frowning forever.]

[ranked27]

[You're already frowning eternally, Natsuhi. Ronove, very amused, tries to hide his amusement]

It's said everybody has someone who looks almost identical to them, somewhere in the world.

[It's a bad excuse, but it isn't like it's unbelievable]

[refusedtoleave]

[No she isn't. She changes occasionally, like now, she's flat out glaring. Such variation.]

So where are you from then?

[Did he go to the costume room?]

[ranked27]

[Somehow, 'Purgatorio' doesn't sound like a valid answer to give. This is pretty much a difficult situation, and walking away without answering or distracting would be inelegant. Not having any other option, he chooses to resort to using information from his vessel. It's not a lie, but it's not true either. A gray area is good enough]

Taiwan.

[refusedtoleave]

Really? I've been there before. What was your area like?

[ranked27]

The place I come from is rather calm and affluent. I used to live there until I was brought into my actual job, and although I like the place that was my home, I prefer my actual employment.

[It's better to be summoned and placed onto service than not summoned at all]

[refusedtoleave]

It's good to like what you do.

What do you do exactly? You're too well spoken to be a laborer.

[ranked27]

I'm the head of servants for my employer -- the butler, in other words.

[He knows very well what he's saying. Just in case, he slightly turns his body to try to hide the One-Winged Eagle from Natsuhi's sight]

My duties also include cooking and aiding to entertain guests. It wouldn't be a stretch to say my housekeeping and baking skills are very coveted.

[refusedtoleave]

I see. It sounds like you enjoy you're job, that's good to hear.

[The amount of complaints she's heard over the years.]
