THE FUTURE IS NOW: GRADUATION

[idolpro]

Who: Shine & You!
Where: THE GREAT BURGER
When: Day 284, Evening

[ If you're CR of Shine's, you might have received an invitation to THE GREAT BURGER for a certain celebration. Or maybe you're here to get that good wholesome and hearty diner food! Either way, you'll find that when you arrive, tables and seats and umbrellas have been placed outside to accommodate for everyone; there's the standard spread of burgers and pancakes from THE GREAT BURGER, but on top of that you can also find omelets and steaks and skillets, along with biscuits and gravy, chicken and waffles, meatloaf—whatever you can think of served in an American diner is out here for everyone to enjoy. There's soda for the non-alcohol drinkers, but there's also an overabundance of beer and . . . galaxy booze? It looks like? What's that.

Silver and blue balloons are tied to all the tables, and there's a banner that hangs in front of the restaurant:

CONGRATULATIONS ON GRADUATING
Product of Ophthalmology Engineering

A silver carpet rolls into the side of the diner—that door wasn't there before—and in that space there's also a microphone and a stand if anyone wants to say anything. When Shine is ready to leave, he can follow the path of the silver carpet to the new door. ]

[sitting down beside him]

Are you sure? Though I suppose drinking before work isn't always wise.

[arealeyeopener]

I'll compromise with myself and have a LITTLE.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Arriving fashionably late because of course he is.

With a box under his arm.

It's probably a gift because one (1) effort was spent putting a silver bow on it but otherwise it's just a box.]

[arealeyeopener]

Oh there you are. I was wondering if you were gonna ditch.

[intimitation]

[He's coming over with a BAG OF STUFF.]

...you must be one of the people susceptible to my unit's alcohol ability. I heard about your type.

[arealeyeopener]

[pours him a glass]

Don't knock it until ya try it.

[learntofly]

It's called a coping strategy.

[Wow what's this it's another uninvited party crasher. Mostly lurking awkwardly off to the side, waiting for a lull when she can approach Shine without interrupting anything.]

[arealeyeopener]

[gives her a wave as he noms a burger]

[puzzlekeeper]

[arealeyeopener]

Take care of my husband for me.

[tradesecret]

It pains me to see such a loyal customer and friend go, but congratulations.

Please punch that horrible pizza thief in the groin.

[arealeyeopener]

Silence has probably already laid waste to his balls by now.

I'll miss ya, Yvette. You were my favorite drink fairy.

[mind_blown]

[huh.]

So this is what happens when you get outta here for good.

[arealeyeopener]

Yep! I'd headed home.

Gonna have a burger and beer with me before I go?
