Y'know this little throwaway gag is so bizarre to me and I know this game is a bit very different to 2 and 3 but look at Matt's reaction when Jack raids the place in 3:
You'd argue he's simply stopping Jack bc he hates this guy and he also hates this job which Could Be True but i highly doubt bc overall despite his virginity and overall cursed vibe, Matt seems to be a good employee, by all means (I mean, Peter literally gave him a vacation instead of firing him in 2, so that says a lot).
Plus, Dave hates this guy as much as he hates him! He literally always calls him creepy and, AND!
This is the only footage you get of the prize corner in 2. Which is also the first game to show Matt and Dave's disdain for one another, Dave being likely more scared of Matt than Matt will ever be of him.
Which is all very curious. 2 does set a drastic change for Matt too with him going from being just strange to outright creepy, so was the old pizza place closing something that actually affected him or was he consistently that creepy all along? And if the later, did he just start hating Dave after that or did they always have beef and they simply had some sort of arrangement (or even higher word from Steven who tended to let Dave do whatever he wanted in general) that let him do so?

*The Walkie Talkie turns on, the sound of something dripping can be heard on the other end.*
“Hello!”
*Oh dear, it’s Parker.*
“I haven’t heard much in the way of anythin’ from the MTFs, so I figured I’d check in.”
*Something or someone makes a gurgling noise.*
“Well, I haven’t exactly left them in much of a condition to say much of anythin’, so I suppose that’s my fault.”
*He sounds like he’s just talking about his music tastes, or a new recipe he’s tried, rather than brutalizing a new victim.*
“Oh- Speaking of, I remember I promised you some toys of your own! I uh- I don’t think these ones ‘re fresh enough, but lets see…”
*The sound of a thump can be heard.*
“Hey, are you dead yet? If not, how do you feel about a trip?”
*More gurgling can be heard, before a choked out response sounds out.*
“Pleashe… Pleashh hllp….”
“Tsk tsk tsk. Didn’t even answer my question! No, no. You deserve better than that.”
“Gak…”
*The sound of shuffling and fingernails struggling to find purchase on the slick floors can be heard…*
*CRACK!*
*… Before a gunshot rings out, silencing the movement.*
“Sorry about that! I must remember to cover up the mic next time, I’m sure the sound’s plain awful. I’ll be sure to find you something nicer, no sense in giving you used merchandise. Ciao!”
*The audio cuts out.*
(OOC: Hello again! I figured I’d just set the stage for another meeting in the future, practice Parker’s voice a bit more, etc.)
[Sebastian was watching the walkie at all times, to the point he literally had it clipped to his scarf. It had been quiet for so long.... He thought that maybe Parker had died. That maybe, he could have peace, he could hide away...]
-KZZT-
[Dripping. Blood. He wasn't dead. He was ALIVE. Saliva welled up in Sebbis mouth. Was he hungry, or was he sickened by what Parker had to say? A claw wrapped around his muzzle, holding it shut. It was his own.]
"Parker- Parker please stop- please-"
[Sharp edges dug into his gums. He tasted blood. His own. It burned. He hadn't pressed the button. Parker hadn't heard him. His stomach hurt. The acrid taste of bile rose in his throat. He picked up the walkie, turning it on on his end.]
"Please- I- I don't want their death to be-"
[A thunk noise rang out as he dropped the walkie. At least the poor MTF was dead.. A cruel end, even for down here. Sebastian darted to the moonpool, crouching over it.]
ooc: HAIIIHIHIHI parker is so silly!!!!
