[BACKDATED TO THE MIDDLE OF THE DREAMWEAVER EVENT] [VIDEO] - un: l.loire

[perfectplanning]

[The feed doesn’t begin with anything special. It’s just a room like any other.]

[Except for one thing: the wall is covered in papers that have been doodled on extensively. There are a lot of crossed out drawings, one or two mathematical equations that don’t really amount to anything, and a lot of red string connecting things together. There’s a decent pan over the demonstration as a whole before there’s a voiceover.]

Okay, hello! This is Laguna! Hope everyone’s doing okay during this whole not-sleeping mess! I think I may have a discussion topic that’ll hopefully keep us awake, at least until we can settle this debate.

[He clears his throat.]

Today I’m talkin’ burgers. Not just any burgers, but burgers from diners and burgers from bars. And when I say burgers from bars, I mean the superior burger. Though it seems some people want to disagree.

SO!

I’ve put together some evidence to back up my claims.



[Laguna holds up the communication device to a couple of drawings covered in the scrawl of either a madman, someone who’s seriously feeling the effects of sleep deprivation, or a terrible combination of the two:]


BEHOLD. The chaos that you’d find in a diner that has way too many items on their menu to focus on a good burger. Now, I’m not saying that they can’t make good food, but a place that focuses on too much at once isn’t going to have any special love for their burgers! Then you got a bunch of people working at once and if there’s any kinda miscommunication, it all comes tumbling down.

Now, if you’re going for a burger at a bar…

[The camera pans to another doodle:]


Exhibit B!

You’ve got two or three people working together putting all of their love and effort into making something really special with their burgers. A delicious burg, some beer that compliments it, and there you have it! An impeccable dining experience where you’re surrounded by your buds and sharing some food that makes you and your tummy happy. It’s just an overall better experience!

With that, I’d like to position this to you, Lunatia!

[Laguna places the communication device on what’s probably an unsteady surface to focus on him and him alone as he prepares his final statement:]


Bar burgers are the best burgers and you can’t change my mind!


DISCUSS!!!


[And, right on cue and in what’s probably the only way to end this... whatever this is..., his device falls over, flipping the image sideways.]

burgers are burgers who cares where they're from

[TEXT] | [un:l.loire]

[perfectplanning]

["Not having slept" is pretty much the common denominator in this debate, so welcome!]

That's fundamentally not true! You can't tell me that you've never had your day ruined by a mediocre burger. Or by mediocre food in general.

[showended]

mediocre food maybe
I don't really do burgers that much
they're greasy

[perfectplanning]

Sometimes you gotta deal with a little bit of grease to enjoy the finer things in life, my dude.

That's part of what it means to grow up.

[showended]

burgers aren't fine food
they're just glorified sandwiches

I don't see what growing up has to do with any of that

[perfectplanning]

You take that back.

Burgers can absolutely be a fine food!!!

[showended]

they're overpriced meat sandwiches

[ I'm sorry ]

[perfectplanning]

They're the end result of a proud tradition built over ages of culinary history! They're not just a meat sandwich, you could toss some ham and cheese together between two slices of bread and it's not a burger! It's just a sandwich!

A burger, on the other hand, is a carefully concocted mix of the perfect combination of meat to toppings. You gotta consider the flavor profile and the textures. Is the lettuce crunchy enough? Does the cheese overpower the patty? What about the seasonings? Ketchup, or no ketchup? Then, you have to make sure the bun has to be fluffy on the inside, but lightly charred on the outside to complete the perfect bite. The chef has to take all of these matters into consideration, but they have a limited time to do so. It takes training. It takes courage. It takes heart to put together the perfect burger.

My friend, you can't just tout a burger as a sandwich. To do so would be throwing away hundreds of years of burger knowledge passed through the generations. You spit in the face of entire cultures who have centered their culinary ventures around making what they believe to be a perfect burger.

There is tradition at steak, here!

A burger is no mere sandwich! It is a declaration! A love letter to the burgs that came before it!

[...not sorry enough.]

[ incredible... ]

ur really tired aren't u

name one culture that is based around burgers that isn't america

[perfectplanning]

1) I am extraordinarily tired

2) What's america?

3) I'm talking about culinary cultures within bigger regions! Esthar has a burger scene, Balamb has a burger scene, Galbadia has a burger scene... it's a culture in a culture! Subculture? Yeah! A subculture!

[showended]

1. yeah same

2. I can't be the one to explain this to u I've never been

3. none of these are places I know so I'm gonna guess we're from different planets

[perfectplanning]

Right, right. I keep forgetting the whole different worlds thing.

While... on a different world.

This is all so weird.

[showended]

different worlds I guess yeah
I'm surprised burgers made it over there
and to bars

[This is the only thing keeping him awake, don't take this away from him]

Not true at all, pal!! A good burger can mean the difference between life and death!

[showended]

[ They are all Suffering, sometimes you start fights on social media to stay sane ]

I don't see how that could be possible

[trenchdoting]

Anything's possible when you believe, pal! A good burger can make you feel like you can live forever!

[showended]

that's not true but ok
what kind of burgers are u eating
burgers aren't that deep

[trenchdoting]

Good ones.
Assembled with care at diners!! By a hardworking team!
It's just an important distinction to make, pal!

[showended]

so are you team diners and he's team bars?

[trenchdoting]

You got that right, pal! So you're joining my team, right?

[showended]

tempting since the other guy went off about burger history

burgers from bars don't make any sense anyway

[trenchdoting]

Exactly!! That's what I was telling the guy! Who goes to a bar for burgers! It's all about the booze! Maybe some kinda finger food if you're hungry too, but burgers sound like a little much.

So I'll put you down as a diner guy. That's a more natural habitat for them, pal!

[showended]

yeah I've never been to a bar and been like
"no drinks today I just want a burger"
that's really weird

[trenchdoting]

I know right!! It's downright unnatural.

I'm glad you're capable of seeing reason, pal.
Tell you what, I'll treat you to a burger sometime. At the diner of your choice!

[showended]

I wouldn't trust a bar to make me a burger
seems kinda sketch

don't really eat burgers that much either
anywhere in lunatia is fine
