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.

you betcha
i got bored one night so i googled things to make me laugh, which was counterproductive since i wanted to sleep.
i can't believe people take the time to think this shit up.

[foralways]

Then I shall start there,
if it comes so highly recommended.

[burger_king]

Guess we really do have to live every day like it's our last.

Who's your boss?

[burger_king]

I've literally never done that. Not even once. [ Of course he has. ]

Good thing for the rest of us, I guess.

[burger_king]

Tell them Jughead sent you.

[couldbebeautiful]

Ken Kaneki. He's collected a lot of information over the years, I can send you a link to what he put together so far.

You could make a novel out of it. I'm not too sure on the quality, but hey, people here will buy anything that features imPorts in some way.

[burger_king]

That'd be great, thanks.

Hey, if it can get me out of this waiter job I don't mind selling out for mass market appeal.

[Attached with the message are two files: the FAQ and Ken's compiled notes.]

All that should get you up to speed. I've been here since May last year, so I don't have as much to offer, but if you need any more information on the cactus mess onwards, I can help.

You could just quit the waiter job. You're not obligated to stay there.

[burger_king]

Thanks, I appreciate it. [ He has some reading to do, that's for sure. ]

I could, but I also like being able to pay for stuff. Weird how those two things seem to be connected.

[foralways]

Jughead. Very well.

Thank you for this rather...interesting point of social education.

[couldbebeautiful]

You're welcome.

If it helps, and just in case you get sick enough of working in food service that you do quit, there's a shop in De Chima that's looking for a new clerk. It's called the Second Time Around Vintage Clothing Shoppe, it's a pretty swanky place to work.

It's retail, though, so expect some customers to be less than bright, most of the time.

must be why so many old ppl retire here
i wonder how much a guy cud make just doing stuff for ppl that there too lazy to do themselves

[burger_king]

There's a thought.

I'll come visit sometime. Easy with the Porters, right?

Already miss my bike.

[burger_king]

Only happy to help.

[burger_king]

Yeah, I don't know if that's a better fit for me. I'll keep it in mind, maybe the pannacotta will get the better of me sooner rather than later.

Where do you work?

[thirdstrike]

hell yeah come on down! its pretty ez
but if u need a bike i can get u a bike thats also ez

[burger_king]

Seriously? What kind of bike are we talking about?

[thirdstrike]

whatever kind u want
well availbillity depending
but def any color u want

[burger_king]

Okay.

This sounds super shady ftr.

[thirdstrike]

its ok i get that allot

[ ... Which is not denial that it's shady, but. ]

prob be like a week max? cud be way less tho

[burger_king]

Could I get back to you on that? It's no rush.

[ And y'know, he kind of wants to stay away from illegal shit if he can. ]

[thirdstrike]

u shur?
ok but just lmk whenever, i'll hook u up w/ a nice 1

[couldbebeautiful]

The pannacotta gets the best of everyone.

Now? At Re:Café. The guy whose notes I sent you is my current boss, and the café's for both imPorts and natives. Stop by any time, I'll sneak you a cookie.

[burger_king]

Thanks man. I'll keep that in mind for sure.

[ Is it sad that he's making friends faster here than he ever did in Riverdale? Probably. ]

[burger_king]

I'll do that - stop by the Life of Pie sometime and I'll return the favor.
