Invidia Arrival Log

[cancrymods]

INVIDIA

With the Executors now victorious over the first layer of Purgatory, the only way for them to go is further down. Thanks to the combined efforts of Kingslayer, Ariel and Mona, a path forward has been opened that leads down to the next layer of Purgatory. Rei looks ill at ease about this. If asked, she'll brush off the concern a bit, explaining that she's never gone this far down into Purgatory before and she doesn't know what lays ahead. It might be even more dangerous than the Underside. She's just glad they're all heading down together. So, once everyone's collected themselves... head down they to to the next layer of Purgatory... Welcome to Invidia. Congratulations on unlocking your first major location change in Can Cry! Feel free to use this arrival log to chronicle your initial misadventures in the city of Invidia. Investigation is strongly encouraged here as from here on out, plot progression will moved along by player involvement. If you want to unlock the next Underside, get investigating! All investigations that require mod oversight should be tagged with INVESTIGATION REQUEST in the subject line. Get out there and have fun!

[ SQUINTS. ]

Why are you running a food truck?

1/2

[schardynfreude]

[His sleeves are rolled up, and he's got a lil paper hat barely staying on top of his unruly hair. He waves and is entirely too cheerful.]

Good morning~! Welcome to McDante's, how may I--

[its rei]

...

[He looks so dead inside. Like he's been doing this job for years. In the flattest tone possible:]

Please help me. I have no idea what I'm doing.

i know exactly where that link goes and i'll die before clicking it

[phantasmagorial]

If you have no idea what you're doing, then why are you doing it?!

[ FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!! ]

coward

[schardynfreude]

Because I wanted food.

[DUH!!!]

I had nothing on me to offer in return, and the gentleman suggested I could have as much as so pleased me if I would but man the station for a time.

[He looks briefly around the truck at the...things that are for cooking food but he is not entirely sure what the fuck they are.]

I neglected to inform him I don't know how to cook, at present.

[phantasmagorial]

... Well, if he didn't tell you that you had to cook then I guess there's nothing he can complain about when he comes back.

[ But you bet Rei's gonna make herself very absent when that happens. She's not gonna be here if he gets yelled at. ]

Is there nothing already prepped?

[schardynfreude]

[He leans on the windowsill and gives her a smile.] I had thought of that. One need be cautious with one's words.

Mm, but as far as pre-prepared [would that just be...pared??], I believe...hm, I can't attest to its quality, but there are some hot dogs rotating for heat. I could try my hand at burgers, and the fries...

Ah, the fries! Surely that's what you came for!

[phantasmagorial]

[ Ah, she's been called out. She goes a little red at how apparently predictable she's become, but of course on a girl like Rei 'a little red' still sticks out like a sore thumb. ]

N–not just the fries...! There's no food like this in Limbo, so I wanted to try all of it.

[ But like... it's the fries. ]

[schardynfreude]

And the fries. [You're the one that wanted All Of The Potato, girl.]

Let's see here, if fries are fried, then...yes, then this is the frying oil, it must be. I could make an attempt...or you could come back later, when I'm promised as much as I'd like, and I could order so many fries.

Many many fries.

[phantasmagorial]

[ Don't think you can bribe her so easily, old man!!! ]

W–well... if you don't know what you're doing then it really just makes sense to wait until somebody who does comes back and does it for us. Right?

[ it's not about the potatoes. ]

[schardynfreude]

Indeed it does. [Don't mind if he reaches down to boop the tip of her nose.] I'm afraid he gave little indication of when he would return, but...mm, time has little bearing, doesn't it.

[phantasmagorial]

... if you're going to be stuck here for who knows how long, then I guess I'd better wait with you.

[ She's gonna pull herself up a seat and settle in for the wait. ]

Otherwise you might actually have to serve a customer and I don't know if I should let you do that.

[schardynfreude]

[Dryly:] Your faith in me must be quite the weight to bear. [But he's smirking. And appreciates it bc really no let's not make him actually burn the truck to the ground okay okay]

[phantasmagorial]

I'd just rather not find out the hard way if we can get sued down here.
