A Christmas CYOA
- Thread starter Colonel Thunder
- Start date
Chickenspleen meets his friend Tag Ross for lunch at Wolfy's diner.
"Hey Tag, what's up?" asks Chicken.
"Eh maso menos," replies @Tag_Ross
"Oh, that's right, you can't speak English," says Chicken, as the two sit down.
Tag Ross can in fact speak English. In fact, he barely knows any Spanish. But Chicken is yet to pick up on this, and Tag thinks it's funny.
Tag orders the special and Chicken gets a sandwich. Conversation dies down quickly as the two don't have much in common.
Nearby, Chicken can hear @Walrus excitedly talking to the server, @Dunsparce about his plans for the upcoming election. He seems to have something grand in mind, and is talking loudly.
Also, Chicken can hear a mysterious crashing sound followed by a brief yell outside, near the dumpster.

Chickenspleen gets up and starts walking towards the dumpster outside.
"Hey Walrus, come check this out with me," says Chicken, as he leads the confused Mayor out back.
Behind the diner, they see @Requiem sitting inside the dumpster, eating half an old sandwich.
"Constituent Requiem, what was that noise?" asks Walrus. "Were you attacked by the false mayor's oppression?"
"Oh, I just got excited when I found this sandwich and knocked the dumpster lid down," answers Req, looking ragged and unshaven.
"Req...are you doing okay?" asks Chickenspleen. "You kind of smell like Dunsparce's opinions."
"Well, I'm a little homeless at the moment," says Req, taking a bite of the old sandwich. "But it's not that bad. I feel fine."
"Don't worry Req!" says Walrus. "When I'm Mayor again, economic prosperity will return to the fishbowl!"
Walrus wanders back inside. Chicken looks concerned.
"No, really, this is fine," says Req confidently. "Being homeless isn't great, but at least I'm not being portrayed as evil-gay or a shitposter anymore."
"Oh. Okay then," says Chicken, still feeling bad for his friend.

I've got a job working at a mountain lodge that I'm leaving for tomorrow. What is this tomfoolery? Poor portrayal, 0/10, would not dumpster dive again.
Wish Req good luck and add some foreshadowing/reference Machpocalypse by suggesting he might get a job at a mountain lodge north of the Forum.

But a bit more politely, maybe.
I been busy gimme a minute
"Well, I hope everything works out for you," says Chicken earnestly. "You're a smart guy, I know you'll pull through."
"Thanks," says Req. "Plus, Christmas is coming up. There's no reason for me not to be happy!"
Chicken says goodbye and goes back inside.
Chicken realizes that Tag Ross has ditched him, leaving Chicken with the full bill.
"Dang it," says Chicken. "That sneaky Cossack is probably halfway to the border by now."

Pay own half. Leave note saying that Tag owes the rest so Tirin knows who to hunt down.
Chicken pays his own half and explains to the server, Anatron, that Tag Ross ditched. Anatron doesn't seem to care, and Chicken leaves the restaurant to continue about his day. It passes uneventfully and night falls on the forum.
