[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.]

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

[trenchdoting]

Another good point! Make sure that other guy gets all this, pal.

Sounds fair to me! I'll just pick one and make it happen. What's your name by the way? I'm Dick Gumshoe!

[showended]

if he can read this he's probably mad
what's the score, anyway?

I'm Han Do-yoon
I definitely won't turn down free food

[trenchdoting]

That's just make him a sore loser pal.
I dunno I have to make a list of our ranks. But I'm pretty sure we're in the lead!

Nice to meet you! Good, cuz that's what you'll get!

[showended]

nice

his reason for liking bars isn't bad though
did diners ever do anything for u or do u just like diners?

[trenchdoting]

Hey now pal, don't start to humor him!
His logic is all flawed and messed up, and full of contradictions!
Diners never let me down. It's as simple as that. And it seems like a much more normal place to get a burger than a bar!

[showended]

he just misses his wife

but I still agree that getting a burger at a bar is really bizarre

[trenchdoting]

What wife? Don't tell me he's married to a burger now, pal!

Good, because I feel like we really connected on that! Don't forget you're still getting a free certified diner-made burger for picking the right answer!

[showended]

his wife ran a bar and made burgers
unless he's lying about that but idk

I'm gonna hold you do that, Gumshoe
u aren't like a stalker or something right
I should have asked this before making burger dates
what is your job when you're not sleep-deprived, dude?

[trenchdoting]

Wait what? He never told me anything about that. You sure you're thinking of the right guy, pal?

Of course I'm no stalker!!
I'm the opposite of a stalker, pal.
My job here at all times is I'm a Moon Knight!
A defender of justice pal!!

[showended]

you can read upthread if you really wanna know

oh wow a moon knight?
that's like the cops, right?
that must be an interesting job here

[trenchdoting]

I'll look into it, pal. I don't wanna doubt you.

Yeah, it's very similar! I was a police detective back home, so this seemed natural.
It's interesting alright.
And definitely keeps me busy!

[showended]

oh that makes sense
keeping the same job as before...
I'm kinda enjoying the break for now
but I gotta start making money ig

what's the craziest case you've ever had?

[trenchdoting]

Do what you know, that's why they say!
Hey you better start earning yourself some money soon pal!
A guy can't just live off of hugs forever!
What kinda job are you used to anyway?

Oh jeez don't ask that, don't make me relive that. What do you wanna hear about? Spirit mediums, circus murders, flying ladies, costumed actors offing each other??

[showended]

oh I have a roommate
we're not gonna starve or anything

but I'm a musician
or like an idol ig
I write songs and I can sing and dance
I used to be part of a band and played the bass
it'd be nice to do that again

the costumed actor thing sounds pretty wild
too wild for me
maybe tell me a normal story instead

[trenchdoting]

Good for you! Still, just be careful pal!

Really?? That's great you must be like a celebrity!
Then you should be set, just crank out a new single whenever you need money
Slap that bass pal!

Sure thing! There's
Well
Hm
Can you define what 'normal' means?

[showended]

yeah, fair enough
does crystalizing happen a lot?

I used to be lol
I'll see how things work out here

I guess... like a dognapping?
do you get any boring jobs?

[trenchdoting]

It's pretty rare. You have to be really touch starved to get to that point.
Still pal, be careful.

I'm sure you'll do just fine! You do have good tastes, after all. I know I've got faith in you! :D

Dognapping???
No one would dare to lay a finger on Missile pal!!
I guess the most boring thing would be whenever I'm stuck on guard duty?
