[herocomplex]

_{[ With the whole dragon fiasco interrupting America's flow of life here on this planet, he's a little more than eager to make a big announcement. He's worked hard to open up a business, and now it's time for him to broadcast it! The feed clicks on and shows both America & Klaus in their respectable Cordis forms; America with his foxy ears and tail and Klaus is looking a little more.. dragon-y than usual. They are, however, wearing matching suits. Perhaps you’ve seen the vague advertisements pasted everywhere-- possibly on your car, house, etc, or maybe it’s word of mouth, but the big night has finally come. They're showing the feed from Crystal Beach with a restaurant in the background. ]}

Hey you guys!! Hahahaha! Listen up here, I've got some big news to report, you won't want to miss it! Me and my buddy are proud to show you _{[ their financial love child ]} our business we are opening up!

_{[ America elbows Klaus in the ribs before whispering: go on, you can say it! ]}

Say -- oh, fuck! Right, yeah.

<sub>[ Klaus had, unfortunately, been focused mostly on making sure he didn’t squirm too much in the suit he was currently wearing -- its itchy on his newfound scales, all right, and even with his slightly more regal posture and temperament, he can’t cover up the fact that he has no idea what to do.

He clears his throat and straightens the lapels on his jacket and then motions to both sides expansively with both arms. It’s very Vanna White. ]</sub>

Presenting...McDenny’s! Do you love diner food, but hate the fact that people get all weird about the heavy petting you get into after you finish your meal? Well, here at McDenny’s, we’ve got your back.

_{[ Klaus’s eyes dart back over to America and he raises his eyebrows, flashing a grin that’s only slightly tense. Does he … does he have anything to add? ]}

Hahaha, perfect! You did great! I knew you would!

_{[ He said that way too loud. ]}

We sell American cuisine and offer a snuggle lounge upstairs open 7 pm - 3 am, but you can come by the diner anytime, it’s 24/7! We’re also looking for new hires.. and who knows, we may or may not even be giving away free food today, so come by and see us right away and check it out! We're right on the Crystal Beach, you can't miss it!

_{[ With that, they both wave and sign off.
ooc: America is in blue, Klaus is in purple.. get responses from us both or just one of us. Check out his business here! ]}

Is that a normal problem to have after dinner?

Video

[garb4ge]

[Klaus is trying to be professional with his answer, but he's not very good at it -- so he still sort of half-smirks.]

Well, that depends who your dining partner is. But yeah, sometimes.

( VIDEO. )

[herocomplex]

Computeeeerrrrr Giiiiiiiirl!
_{[ He's calling her that cause he forgot her name, whoops. ]}

Yo, what up? Are you gonna be the first customer or what?

( ACTION. )

[herocomplex]

_{[ Once the feed is off, America exhales a big sigh of both relief and contentment before giving Klaus a rather hearty (if not a bit painful) slap on the back. ]}

Holy shit, dude! YOU DID IT!! Or, wait, no.. WE DID IT. I mean, I did most of the work, but you were great too!!

_{[ He's got.. some kind of drink in his hand, it says SUPER MEGA BIG GULP and it appears to be cola he's drinking through the straw. ]}

Now we just gotta wait for everyone to show up!!

[garb4ge]

Oof!

[Yeah, sometimes he's still not used to America's overall -- exuberance. Most people he knows with that sort of chaotic energy are people Klaus tends to avoid because he hates sharing the spotlight in that way.

But Alfred is -- an exception.

He lets out a breath of his own, inwardly glad that this weird-ass dragon transformation had decided to take place during this moon so that he'd at least felt better put together.]

I hope you're staffed for the potential for people to be busting down doors.

... People get into heavy petting after getting fast food?

[Yes, that's really her main issue here. Except it's not really an issue, more...]

Sorry, I'm just so used to three am coffee runs when it comes to fast food. The last thing I want to do is heavy petting.

[herocomplex]

Huh? What are you talking about?

_{[ He's jacked up on caffeine and honestly he didn't really hear anything Klaus said, but he wants to congratulate him because, well, uh... he's ding his best, alright? ]}

Video;

[garb4ge]

You are doing three am coffee runs incorrectly if you don't want heavy petting around that time along with the fast food, lady.

video;

[timemachine]

I have no words for this...

[As someone who has probably been to her world's knock offs of McDonald's and Denny's when she lives in Cali... yeah.

Yeah...]

Why not just add a love hotel at this rate... Except that's more of a Japanese thing, huh?

[herocomplex]

Uh, yeah, that's totally a Japanese thing. We're family friendly here!

_{[ America says, but it's speculated he might have christened the bathroom with somebody prior to opening. Maybe. He's proud of his success here, it's party time. ]}

No dirty stuff! But people should feel welcome to meet people here and do whatever they want elsewhere.

[menphina]

Pity the heavy petting doesn't come as part of the menu. Sounds like it would make for a good treat.

I'll just have to take your meatiest offerings instead.

( TEXT. )

[herocomplex]

hey megumi 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
u gonna work for me bby???

u can have all the meat u want if u do lol

_{[ does.. does he mean actual meat or something else? ]}

voice

[bestinsnow]

Oh my god, I have never been so happy to see a diner before. I'll definitely be going there to curb my french fry cravings.

( VOICE. )

[herocomplex]

Yeah! Hahaha, see what I need? This place needed a restaurant like this! You can thank me for all of it.

[haretriggered]

[ Elliot waited patiently through this whole video and he's only got one goddamn thing to ask. ]

Do you have cake?

( VIDEO. )

[herocomplex]

_{[ Just one glance at those bunny ears and America thinks he is just going to be funny. ]}

Hahaha, lemme guess, dude. Carrot cake?

video;

[punshots]

[ He doesn't even hesitate a second after this message to respond— ]

Hi, yeah, I'd like to make a reservation right the hell now. I need to eat there, like, yesterday. Bee-tee-dubs, combining food and snuggles? Pure genius.

[ It's amazing. He loves it. ]

[herocomplex]

You don't gotta make a reservation, man! Just pop your ass in here and buy all of the shit you want, hahahaha! You can be our first guest if you get here soon enough-- bring a friend!

Anyway, yeah. I'm smart like that. Folks will be Chroma-ing it up here up in this grill and this planet won't know what to think, yo!

video

[schwarzen]

Heh. You actually did it. Congratulations.

I wish you both the very best in your new business endeavor.

[ Now, onto the more important matters: ]

Since I have very little familiarity with these type of dining establishments, what do you suggest I try for my first meal? I seek an authentic experience.

[ Also, it's Cordis, which means it's time to be a glutton. ]

[herocomplex]

Thanks! _{[ uh who was this ]} nice guy! Good Hair Guy.

_{[ Honestly, it's been awhile since they've spoken and he's forgotten about him. I'm sorry. ]}

Wow, that's a great question! I guess you'll just have to try everything. That's the true authentic way is giving me all of your money.

video;

[wearingguess]

Oh, splendid!! Congratulations to you both!
Please tell me more about American cuisine!

Video

[garb4ge]

[...Oh, America seems distracted.

Klaus clears his throat.]

Well, you know -- it's all about comfort food, yeah? Just load it with butter and cheese, throw an egg on it -- that kind of shit.

[Nailed. It.]

[loewenbien]

I'd love to help! I love learning about new cuisine!


[ Here's your favourite boy, America. ]

[herocomplex]

[codecmoment]

[ He knows Archer is going to want to have them go to traditional American cuisine. Let alone what Snake's gonna eat. ]

( TEXT. )

[herocomplex]

that's right
god is real and he exists in my diner

video

[hoasen]

[Time for some slow nodding.]

So, you two, teaming up, for a fast food restaurant.

[Give her a minute.]

I do not dislike it. I think it's good for you both.

( VIDEO. )

[herocomplex]

I couldn't have done it without him!

_{[ Thanks for all the fucking, Klaus. ]}

Vietnam! That must mean you'll work for me since you're good friends with us both!

[raptura]

Do you have key lime pie or Cubans? I miss home.

[herocomplex]

key lime pie for sure man!!
and a bunch of different kinds of cakes if u like that kinda thing!!

video; un: high.priest

[hymnals]

[What is this. What is any of this.]

I'm starting to wonder what I've gotten myself into.

( VIDEO. )

[herocomplex]

Heeeeeey! _{Our guy who knows what he's doing!} YO ADRA!! We could really use your help today, you free to work, uhhhhh, until we don't need you anymore for the rest of the day?

video;

[tomate]

[ mc....denny's. oh the wonders will never cease here. spain sighs before starting the video feed and it looks like he and america are matching here with their foxy ears and tails ]

That's certainly an expected venture from you, America.

( VIDEO. )

[herocomplex]

Spain!! You support me on this, right?

audio;

[madannoshashu]

Nice first advertisement.

[ It's a weird mix of flashy and cringey that he can't help but appreciate. ]

You gonna be doing this on the regular?

( AUDIO. )

[herocomplex]

Well, I mean, pfft.. maybe? I guess depending on how things go, it's important to advertise especially if business is slow, right? I've got a couple of ideas up my sleeve. ☆

video;

[hargraves]

[ well, this is.... actually, this is pretty great.

one, it is klaus doing something productive, useful and good for him that will get him to interact with people in an official capacity, gives him a nice schedule and
a support network of coworkers who aren't. well. who aren't people they would have been back home.

all in all, ben is pretty damn happy with this development.

still — ]

... you did tell him about your work experience?

[ directed at klaus, meaning, you were honest about the fact that the most you've ever done with a diner before is break into one in the middle of the night and steal donuts?

of course, he words it in a way that to any outsider (or america, but you know, details) could also mean... anything but what it actually means, really. he's not going to sabotage klaus' newfound job!! ]

( VIDEO. )

[herocomplex]

_{[ America is arrogant enough to think that Ben is talking to him, so with a rather passive shrug he brings the large drink (which is actually a combination of cold brew coffee and cola) to his lips and takes a long sip until he realizes he's completely out of beverage. With a pop of his lips, he gestures his thumb to himself. ]}

Hahahaha! Don't worry! I'm basically the president back home, so I've got plenty of years of experience for this kind of thingy. My colleague-bro over here? He's got plenty of energy. He'll keep up with me in no time!
