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

The feed looks to be coming in from a diner. She's wearing an apron. She looks like she is dire need of sleep, and is clutching a cup of coffee in one hand. ]
Surely not every bar burger. You're presuming a bar with a competent kitchen staff, and you're presuming.... uncharitable things about diners!
[VIDEO] | [un:l.loire]
I can concede that not every bar burger is better, but that doesn't take away from the ones that get it right and transcend the burger far beyond what any diner could do!
And it's not that diners are bad! I'm not saying that. What I am saying is that you guys have so much going on that it takes away from your ability to put that extra care and attention into one single dish! You can't tell me that you're not stupidly busy all the time!!!
[VIDEO] (omg I am late I am sorry)
[ She pauses to take a swig of her coffee. ]
The kind of care and effort that I endeavor to put into everything that leaves my kitchen, thank you!
no worries, friend!
[Laguna's brow furrows as he tries to think of a word.]
[It takes a while.]
[Then he gives up.]
Anyway! A bar burger doesn't need to come from a bar attached to a burger restaurant! All that does is make the bar burger a burger from a burger bar which may as well be a bar bar but with burgers.
no subject
[ ..oh, and now she's getting caught up in finding that third "B" word. Her brow furrows, she frowns thoughtfully... ]
Ben...evolence...?
[ No, no, that's not it. Frankly there are too many words that start with B for her to handle, right now. She pauses a moment to rub at her eyes and whine softly. ]
...are you not sure that the burger you get at the bar seems to taste better because you're probably drunk and everything seems nicer, that way?
no subject
[After all, there's something way more important to address, here!]
No, of course not!
First of all, part of the point of eating at a bar is to cushion what you're drinking so you don't get all stupid.
[Too late for that one.]
Second, a good bar burger can stand on its own, but also compliments whatever it is you're drinking. They're not supposed to overpower one another. It's a balance!

Exactly! Those are all the kinda things I was trying to tell him, but he just won't listen to reason! He has it out for good, hard-working diner folk. I'd press charges against him if I were you, pal!
Video | (aaa I'm very late)
Press charges? I don't think that's called for... I'm more inclined to send him one of our burgers and have it change his mind!
(no worries!)
If you're sure about that, pal... [He says hesitantly.] You could probably make a good case if you wanted.
But hey, that's a great idea too! Force him to accept how great a diner burger can be!! That'll really get 'im!
no subject
And another moment to realize that none of those words are the right ones to begin with. She frowns sharply. ]
I'm not sure you can press charges for that to begin with. But... but yes, the proof is in the pudding, so they say! Or the burger, in this case!
no subject
...I'm gonna be honest, I've got no clue what you said there, pal. ...Anyway! You could always make a case for slander or assault on your character if you wanted. But you make a good point! And now that makes me imagine a pudding burger. Does that exist? I can't tell if that'd be good or not!
