The year is 2018 and the Red Scare is alive and kicking. Worlds collide as we're brought here under mysterious circumstances, given gifts we couldn't dream to prepare for. Trapped without hope for escape we ask ourselves - will we ever see our homes again? Our loved ones? Will we embrace our new lives and is it a question of when - not if - that these powers turn on us? So many questions, and yet the biggest mystery is something else entirely.

Best burger joint. Give me your suggestions. Bonus points for cheap menus.

Roller Rock Diner.

[burger_king]

Top of my list.

You at work today?

[quickfingers]

why restrict yourself to only burgers? I have a semi-contractual obligation to pimp out Porter Pizza and you're not giving me the in here, man. they even had a cheeseburger style pizza, does that work?

[burger_king]

That sounds... intriguing. Maybe some other time. Right now I have very specific needs to fulfil.

A bit melodramatic, but the writing isn't so bad. You have talent.

[burger_king]

I was aiming for eye catching, but I guess that will do.

Thanks.

Okay, burguers are great, but you clearly haven't tried fried chicken, man.

[burger_king]

Of course I've tried fried chicken. I just have a specific itch that the chicken won't scratch.

Welcome to the alternate universe you never wanted to exist.

If you want to find answers to all those questions you have, or at least research a bit more, there are always libraries.
I've found the literature on this place to be pretty decent.


And it depends on where you are.

[burger_king]

Question is how much of it can be believed, but sure. I'll make a note to stop by.

Isn't the whole upside with the Porters that it doesn't really matter where you are?

[burger_king]

Noted. [ Though not really what he's looking for. ]

You know anyone here from home?

Re: TEXT.

[fehus]

what the fuck? wendys.

[burger_king]

Nothing wrong with shopping around, is there?

[ And there's another place he'll probably go to more anyway. ]

[am_i_a_monster]

Why go somewhere? The best burgers are homemade.

[burger_king]

That's a bit too advanced for what I have in mind.

TEXT.

[specialise]

don't leave me hanging
what happened next?

[ she's assuming people have already recommended burger joints to this melodramatic writer ... because who the hell wouldn't after that retelling? ]

[burger_king]

Here? Or are you asking if I have a comprehensive guide to burger places, because we're definitely getting there.

[fehus]

is this a choose your own adventure? i'm into it. i turn to page 87 and open the tomb. the mystery won't elude me for long.

also malts n' munchies if nobody said it yet. malts are surprisingly not as gross as they sound? the choc ones anyway.

[burger_king]

If only I was more prepared. Sorry, man.

The place back home served malts so I'm well acquainted and a little disappointed it took this long before it came up.

Six Guys. Can't be beat.

Thanks for providing vital information to this survey.

After all you have mentioned,
the multitude of concerns...Your biggest question is about a place to eat?

[burger_king]

I can't do anything about those other things right now, especially not on an empty stomach.

Try Shane's in De Chima. They're doing a Valentine's Day promotion right now: if you bring someone there on a date you get to upgrade the size of your meal.

Jury's still out on if it's working. [It's still a cheap burger place, after all.]

surprise 2/2

[couldbebeautiful]

And to answer your questions:

1. Yeah, probably, unless you're dead back home. People do come and go, but it's up to the Porter, not us. And if you're dead, you're shit out of luck.

2. There's a chance you'll see a few of them make their way here. There's also a chance you'll see someone you hate here. Again: it's up to the Porter, not us.

3. I'm not sure if embracing it's worth all the loss it brings.

4. The powers malfunctioned on us once already last December, because, again, the Porter—specifically, someone tried to ask it questions and it reacted violently. A couple of my friends ended up in the hospital.

Also, do you write blurbs for mystery novels or something?
