video; mcdenny's revived

[enginium]

[A teenager of the modern era though he may be, Iida Tenya has never been especially adept at the finer art of technology. He had engines in his legs, knew quite a lot about engines as a whole, but mostly those of locomotives or automobiles. Technology was an entirely separate beast, and one he knew only well enough to fumble through use of a smartphone with, as one may call it, two left thumbs.]

[As such, he's entirely too close to the camera on his phone when the feed starts, and he startles away upon the realization. As he does so, his surroundings become clear-- a vaporwave nightmare of a restaurant stands behind him, making the light blue of his polo look fluorescent.]

Greetings, people of Lunatia! I, erm. Seem to have come into accidental ownership of this funky little joint my boss called McDenny's, I'm certain you all remember Mister Alfred Jones. I couldn't bring myself to change anything about the place, even if I haven't the slightest of an idea of the style, but McDenny's is now reopened! And if anyone has more experience in running a business, by all means feel free to drop by and lend me your wisdom, I'm afraid I'm very nearly winging it.

[ooc; so my roommate is the former-America, and i've been meaning to make this post for like three months? better late than never, i guess?? anybody that worked for america at mcdenny's is free to assume they've retained their existing positions or abandoned them, iida's just too much of a square to have not kept working even when his boss mcfucking vanished.]

DO I GET FOOD FOR HELPING?

oh my god

[enginium]

[White man blinking.gif.]

I-- certainly suppose you could, yes, typically we were granted a free meal during a shift if you were aiming to apply? Mister, um... [Boar???]

[Can Don squeeze in two campaigns? He's got the animal cafe - but he could do this. He totally could especially if he can get Finn...

If he can get Finn to still listen to him.

Why the fuck aren't there any other copywriters here but...When he turns on the feed despite the hour he's dressed fantastically smooth and slick and charming. A fox in human clothing, a coyote in a suit.]

...what kind of business is it? Fast food? Something like Burger Chef?

[boarishness]

_{[ Inosuke doesn't even know he's trying to apply for a job. He doesn't want a job!! Just free food. ]}

I WILL SLASH DOWN ANY ENEMIES THAT ENTER YOUR FOOD FORTRESS.
And dispose of the garbage.

BUT ONLY FOR FREE FOOD.

[enginium]

It is predominantly a diner, I'm not sure it quite qualifies as fast food. More of a sit-down place, but one you don't have to spend upwards of an hour at if you time it well. Upstairs there is also a lounge, though I'm still working out how to manage that.

[A beat, and he clears his throat.]

Terribly sorry, my name is Iida Tenya! And you are?

[enginium]

[Well this is certainly a strange offer... He purses his lips.]

Well, I'm not certain that I would call this a "fortress", nor should I expect any enemies, but I suppose having someone aiming to be a guard couldn't hurt any. [And his lack of volume control is reminiscent of Alfred, anyhow. He needs to keep the energy of the place alive, after all.]

[anotheroldfashioned]

[Diner? And a Lounge? And he's new at this?. If Don were a cartoon there would be dollar signs over his eyes.]

Don Draper. Draper Advertisements.

[His voice is smooth]

I'm in the business of helping people market their businesses Mr Tenya. And I'm available to offer ...observations and assistants.

[enginium]

[Very new, but also not a fool, at least. He considers the offer and taps his chin in thought.]

I would at least be willing to consult with you! I'm not so sure we need much marketing, Mr. Jones seemed to handle that well enough while he was here just by word of mouth. [His... very, very loud mouth.]

[anotheroldfashioned]

[His smile is a little slippery as he shrugs] word of mouth is one thing, but you look like the kind of guy who'd want to grow his business, not just settle for what your friend had.

[He holds up a hand] Just an observation on my part. When are you free?

[Please don't say beginning of April. Please don't say the beginning of April. Please please please...]

[enginium]

[He's well-versed in villains, but also a bit too trusting being that he's only seventeen. He'd rather not immediately assume the worst of the man, though that slippery smile isn't lost on him.]

It's more an homage than something I aim to grow exponentially. Though I wouldn't say growth is ever a bad thing. I can be free at any time, if you'd like to pay the diner a visit?

[boarishness]

_{Keheheheheh...} AHAHAHAHA!!
You can count on me to keep this place safe..!!

_{[ Inosuke says this as he suddenly lifts his Nichirin blades into view, crossing them and slashing them together. Oh. ]}

[enginium]

[Oh dear. Iida pales slightly, raising his hands.]

Erm, I'm afraid I can't allow weapons inside the building, though I do appreciate your dedication!

1/2

[boarishness]

HUH?
_{[ He looks down at his swords and slowly steadies his walled eye pig gaze at the device. ]}

Dare you defy the power of these swords with your... law of no weapons?
Are you a coward? Do the weapons scare you, fool?

[boarishness]

No matter..!!

_{[ He just.. flings his hands up, dropping the swords in the process, and pounds a fist into his hand. ]}

I CAN RIP ENEMIES WITH MY BARE HANDS!! KAHAHAHAHA!

[enginium]

[What has he gotten himself into.]

No, sir, in fact I am a student of Japan's most prestigious Hero Academy, back home. I consider myself neither a coward nor a fool, but many who live in Lunatia are nonviolent and unarmed, therefore it is unjust for me to allow an armed guard to protect my premises.

...though I would prefer you do no ripping at all without first consulting me.

[boarishness]

....

Are you saying that ripping could be involved?
With permission?

text; un: anonymous100

[good_ideas]

maybe start off with not giving people food for helping
did the owner leave behind any documents or paperwork?

i don't have an icon for this because he's down to 15

[enginium]

[Good heavens.]

Under very strict permission, which you are unlikely to get! Goodness, why are you so enthralled with ripping people??

[enginium]

In my defense, I didn't see the harm of it initially.
I am learning the folly of my ways.
None so much as I can find. Mr. Jones was... Something of an eclectic business owner, he sort of just did things as they happened.

[good_ideas]

that's usually the case
but it'll probably be okay if you stop now
or make him pay

and if you can't find it you should probably make a plan
and start keeping track of your expenses and stuff

[enginium]

This is of course assuming he actually comes in for his supposed duty when I inform him of the very stringent guidelines under which he is allowed to rip. ...Which is never, outside of if he were to otherwise be severely harmed himself, if you were concerned.

Oh, that I have covered.
I actually started something of a ledger even when Mr. Jones was still here.
It's more that I'm uncertain how to go about actually running the place, when all this time I've just served tables.
It feels a bit odd to suddenly be in charge.

[hot_handed]

What the fuck? Learn to use a goddamn camera before you advertise that neon vomit! You sound like you came outta a black and white film.

[He's glad to know Iida is still here.]

action?

[anotheroldfashioned]

[He sees that kid. He sees it and the truth is - young people Don't know anything

He was young once. He knew nothing.

So he smiles. One account. Two accounts. From moonblessed. Not prismals.]

I'm actually in the mood for breakfast, if you serve breakfast?

voice — un: dontannoyme

[pushpin]

My wisdom is ta drop it before it runs you inna the ground. Runnin' a restaurant ain't cheap.

action!

[enginium]

[He gives him the address, though there's nothing on the menu that's anything like breakfast he's ever eaten, but who's to say you can't have a cheeseburger for breakfast? He's not likely to fall for whatever whatever scam Draper may be cooking up, but he's also not going to turn the man away just because he's got some less than savory intentions. That's the work of a hero, too, isn't it? To set someone on the wrong path straight.]

[Though, he's not exactly intending to tell the man how to live his life, at least.]

Sorry about the lack of traditional breakfast items-- though I do believe we have eggs, I'm sure I could scare something up.
