84. FOURTH WALL video/action/whatever. GO NUTS. Backdated a little to the morning.
[Another day, another long shift at work. Heather doesn't really mind, though. It's one hell of a difference between the hectic stress of the job in the department store that she had last year. What a difference having SANE bosses can make, even if the job is more boring.]
[As the morning sun creeps higher behind the snowclouds and lights up the powder drifting down from the sky, Heather is seated at one of the stools behind the counter in the diner where she now works, and is making herself incredibly useful by balancing all the salt-shakers she can find on top of one another.]
[And then putting all those little sealed packets of sliced cheese she can find on top of THOSE.]
[It's a quiet morning, okay? Leave her alone!]
[Needless to say, one of the owners of the diner-- an old married couple-- spots his newest employee working on the Leaning Tower of Cheesa and just sort of shakes his head, sighing. Kids these days.]
Miss Mason, as much as I hate to stifle the budding artist in you, the soda machines need cleaning.
[Heather heaves an enormously-dramatic mock sigh as she gets up.]
Ugh, finnneeee. You're just jealous of my deeply creative spirit.
You got me. I'm turning green. Dish-soap should be in the back.
[Having chill bosses is AWESOME. Heather had decided she liked having bosses she could banter with almost as soon as she got the job. She sticks her tongue out at him as she passes, on her way to the back door. And then she has an idea!]
[Pulling out her 'Gear, she hits the network button.]
HEY GUYS. Who wants to watch me CLEAN SHIT?
[Because clearly if she had to do boring things, it would improve everybody else's lives to watch her do them.]
[But behind her, the boss clears his throat meaningfully, and Heather rolls her eyes.]

Oh, that's just Danny!
[OOC: COME AT ME BROS. Feel free to assume that Heather is elsewhere if you don't feel like dealing with Danny-- 4th Wall is like CRACK: THE EVENT, so I'm happy to stick her wherever.]

[action]
[That's a lot of watermelons.]
[She edges slowly around the counter and just sort of... watches.]
[Because she is TOTALLY sure she is asleep right now.]
[action]
so how did you find this server
i mean i only noticed it on the list today
don't know how i missed it when it has like three hundred players out of thirty two
but somehow i did
anyway i was like
no way man that can't be true
so i connected to it
and it fuckin was it's so beautiful
[action]
I have no idea.
I just work here.
Sorta used to it.
[action] Just wondering, can threads be finished after the event?
only ever had that feeling once
on a css gungame server
but then it shut down like a month ago
been looking for a gg server as good since but nothing
[He pauses for about a half-minute after that bit of essential backstory.]
anyway so you're a fan of silent hill
[action] Yeah, I backtag for ages. I'll be finishing most of my threads LATE. XD
[But you know what? Fuck it. This is ALREADY weird.]
[Instead she just sort of... considers the question, and then replies, honestly.]
Nope.
[action] All right, then we're set.
i mean the reason i'm not running around as say
harry
is because i'm not a fan of silent hill
though i do have a harry ragdoll
[And from the ether comes a limp Harry Mason in his original PS1 polygonal glory, flopping awkwardly onto the diner floor. Poor Harry is then grabbed and swung about, as is typical.]
[action]
Stop it!
[DON'T THROW HER DAD AROUND LIKE THAT]
[... EVEN IF HE KIND OF LOOKS LIKE HE'S MADE OF LEGOS?]
[what the fuck is happening.]
Re: [action]
catch
[Harry is let go - as he's being swung in Heather's direction, flinging the poor guy at high speed towards her.]
[action]
[Heather catches.]
[And then just STANDS there.]
[Holding the stationary, pixelated version of her father.]
[With a look of total combined horror and WTF on her face.]
[action]
Just another day for this Mingebag, really.]
[action]
[She's SILENT for a moment or two, a look of frozen outrage on her face.]
.... Get rid of these.
[action]
Though he leaves the one that Heather has alone, just in case. You never know when you might need a Harry for silly shit.]
done
[He starts pivoting to look around, trying to think of something else to do.]
[action]
[Heading over to one of the booths, she sort of... sets him down out of harm's way. Not that she thinks he's real, but-- just. Dude. This is SO weird.]
... Where the hell did you even come from?
[action]
when i stumbled across this server
and i was amazed at how many players this one server had
seriously you don't see servers with over three hundred players out of a limit of thirty-two every day you know
much less servers with zero ping
so of course i had to check it out
took forever to download everything but god damn was it worth it
huge map with loads of players and a flawless connection
no limits on anything
it's so fucking wonderful i wish i found it sooner
