[Roleplay - Drop-in] The Great Trouble Cube Road Trip

[josh6243]

Commander Yammark finally exits the car. Off in the distance, she spots an anthropomorphic hammerhead shark robot filling up the gas tanks of various cars. The shark man has seen better days as seen by the rust on some of his parts. Luckily, he seems to keep an optimistic mood, judging by his pearly-white razor sharp teeth seen after helping customers with their cars.

"Metal Shark Player," inquires Leah. "What are you doing here?"

"The last job didn't pay too well," replies the robotic shark with gratitude. "What are you doing with those fleshbags, Yammark?"

"I want to learn more about humanity. They seem so fascinating to me..."

[Dookie]

“So…Can I use the bathroom?”

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

"Yes, go to the bathroom and get yourself something to eat. Hey, Yammark. You know this guy?", Matthew says as he begins to pump some gas.

[josh6243]

"Yep. He's my big bro," replies Leah. "Say hi, Steve."

"Yo. You're the one teaching my lil sis about the real world, huh?"

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

"Heh, heh, I don't know about that, but I'm just taking people on a road trip. To somewhere called the Promised Land."

Meanwhile, inside the restaurant is kind of a grungy-looking place. One that looked better on the outside than it did the inside. The locals here don't look too friendly. And the Waitress, smoking a cigarette, walks up to everyone who goes inside.

Y'all have a seat. I'll get y'all shortly.

[Cassie]

Libre takes a seat.

[josh6243]

"Sounds like fun. Can I join?"

While this was going on, Commander Yammark entered the restaurant and looked around for a menu.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

"I suppose you can come along. You'd be amazed how much we can fit in this car."

Meanwhile, the waitress heads up to Libre.


Hey there, darlin'. What drinks can I start you off with?

[Cassie]

"Some hot, sweet lemon tea."

[josh6243]

With a smirk, Metal Shark Player replies, "Cool beans. This sounds like a fun adventure, already."

After reading the menu Commander Yammark orders, "Can I have a 2 x 2 cheeseburger and some watermelon juice, please?"

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

The waitress comes up to Libre and Yammark with the drinks as she puffs her cigarette and gets ashes in their drinks,

Here y'all are. And you want a 2 x 2 cheeseburger and what do you want?, she says the last part to Libre.

[Cassie]

"Same as Yammark. [coughing] I don't like cigarette fumes."

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

All right, darlin'. HEY, MILTIE!!!! Two fat cows on planks and milk 'em too!!!

Miltie, the fat fry cook, grunts unintelligibly and scratches himself with the spatula before he begins cooking.

[josh6243]

Commander Yammark enjoys her drink, cigarette ashes and all. She's pretty strange, isn't she?

Out of curiosity, Leah asks, "Any idea on what our next stop is?"

[Dookie]

Dookie goes through the gas station and rushes to the bathroom.

...

He comes out, and gets another $5 bill from his pocket.

"Glad I didn't give this to the clerk."

He then gets two big bags of blue Doritos and a 2 liter coke.

He brings it to the person at the counter.

"That'll be $6.39."

"Dammit!"

[wmradar]

Wm enters the gas station and just spends a few minutes wandering the aisles, looking for random shit to purchase. 

By strange coincidence, Wm overhears Dookie not having enough to pay for his things, so Wm "sneaks" up to Dookie and gives him some more money.

Only problem? It's a $7 bill. And one with a picture that is clearly Wm when he was a child on it. No clerk in their sane mind would *ever* take them.

You use this to cause a distraction, and I'll take your stuff to the van when they're not looking. Deal?

[Cassie]

"Uh, can I get a fish burger to take away?" Libre asks a waitress.

[Florien]

Suddenly, Samuel storms in, gun in hand.

Good citizen, cashier, whatever you be, I trust you're not in violation of the constitution by charging money for goods and services today? Because if so, I may have to exert some constitutional rights today.

The threat is not subtle.

[Dookie]

The clerk shrugs off Samuel.

"Deal."

"Wait...." (He digs into his pocket) "Here you go! here's a $7 bill."

The clerk looks at the bill.

"That's not a real bill."

"Of course it is? Don't you know president Radar? He's the guy on the bill. Here, let me show you."

He goes over to the cash register, away from the items.

[wmradar]

Suddenly, Samuel storms in, gun in hand.

Good citizen, cashier, whatever you be, I trust you're not in violation of the constitution by charging money for goods and services today? Because if so, I may have to exert some constitutional rights today.

The threat is not subtle.

Wm is in the process of smuggling Dookie's goods back to the van when the clerk is distracted... when Samuel does that.

Dreading the worst, Wm drops Dookie's goods and runs up to Samuel, trying to wrestle the gun out of his hand (which is totally a good idea in this scenario </s>).

Dude, what are you doing?! Dookie and I already worked something out! You wanna ruin that?!

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Meanwhile Matthew comes inside the restaurant, looking to get some food himself when meanwhile he witnesses Samuel making his threat. He quickly runs up to him.

“Ha ha ha ha ha, that's funny. This Samuel guy, let me tell you, he sure is the life of the party, ha ha ha.”

Then his voice turns into a whisper. “What the hell are you doing? You trying to get us killed? We can pay for this, it's no problem. Put the gun away.”

[josh6243]

Commander Yammark is stunned at the sight of Samuel threatening the cashier. She clearly has nothing to say at all. She would like to pacify him with her drones, but she doesn't want to make a ruckus bigger than it is now.

[Cassie]

"When's the fish bur-"

"Libre I'm hungry-"

"BOB CAN YOU NOT!"

Libre immediately stuffs the bobbit worm into his jacket in an attempt to hide him.

[Florien]

Samuel starts arguing with Matthew under his breath.

But charging people money is against the constitution! We can't have this miscreant making this free country unfree! I'm being very generous, and offering a chance for REFORM of this dangerous anti-constitutionalist before I start exerting my rights!

[Dookie]

“Guys, guys, guys, let's leave before we have someone on our tail with a gun like last time.”
