👀 Please elaborate on the killjoys cafeteria au!! :)

[ID a screenshot of an anonymous message saying “I would like to hear about the cafeteria au!” End ID]

ok and some people replied to my post with interest too, so :3

basically au where they’d all work in a cafeteria, and idk where it’d be exactly, but maybe a small mall cafeteria or on a college campus? but also location doesn’t matter much either way, just that they’re all working there

and basically there’s a main cafeteria space where most of the killjoys r employed, including a full kitchen and salad bar, and then there’s also a Subway(tm) across the hall under the same management. and ofc all of them have “real” names rather than killjoy names in this au, but I haven’t figured that all out yet and so just for simplicity anyways I’ll be referring to them with their canon names. here’s a quick run down of my current job assignments for them:

main cafeteria space:

the director - retail manager (ie: in charge of both the subway and also the main cafeteria, but she isn’t always on location cause she’ll be out doing meetings and such with the even-higher-ups) korse - cafeteria manager, usually in his back office or running around from place to place - u know - managing things.

jet - head chef / supervisor for back of the house dr. d - sous chef / works the line vinyl - line cook

poison - supervisor for front of the house volume, newsagogo, and hot chimp - all cashiers ghoul - unofficially in charge of the salad bar- works at the salad bar vaya - also works the salad bar

adjacent Subway(tm):

kobra - subway manager val - works front of the house and hates it vamos - works front of the house and loves it

the girl - still in high school so she only works part time, but when she’s there she’s working with vamos and val! the cat - the girl’s service animal. it isn’t allowed near the food behind the counter or in the back (only storage back there anyway), but it’s usually nearby

miscellaneous: 

show pony - janitor / handyperson cherri - manages the finances part time (manages finances elsewhere on-location during the rest of his time) neonfuck - a temp who kinda just works wherever they’re needed (usually dishwashing/janitorial work, but cooking too sometimes!) mad gear - customer ❤️ (unemployed)

and here’s some thoughts on the characters and their relationships that I have so far!:

volume sometimes leaves his cash register to hover around vinyl as he works in the kitchen (and flirts). vinyl sometimes leaves the kitchen to lean on volume’s register desk, pretending to buy something for way too long (and flirts). its cute but their supervisors, poison and jet, both hate it.

kobra hates his job. he wanted to work in the main cafeteria which is so much cooler, but poison was working there first so he wasn’t allowed. he’s been here for so long waiting for poison to quit that now he’s the subway manager and this fills him with unending angst. val hates his job too, for no particular reason other than he’s val and this is customer service. on the other hand, the girl isn’t there half the time (high school!!!) and vamos doesn’t take it that seriously (rightfully.... it’s literally just a subway lol), so val and kobra’s vibes tend to overrun the place and honestly walking in there is so hostile emotionally hfjghfgdfhgfd. the plus to this tho is mean customers DO get yelled at by val and/or kobra who r just aching for an excuse to let off their disgruntled steam.

sometimes kobra makes val go mop the seating area to cool off

sometimes vamos goes to use the restroom “for just a minute!!!” but then just visits vaya for like half an hour or more. one time ghoul had vamos start helping out at the salad bar too (and they all had fun lol)

ghoul and vaya are Best friends and they run the Perfect salad bar. all the good vibes r localized there

show pony loves their job cause they really just go from place to place and get to talk to everybody! sometimes they “slack off” a little bit but they’re always done on time anyway so no one really minds

poison and jet have a secret relationship outside of work. no one knows except for kobra who sometimes has to deal with one of his coworkers being in his house in the morning, which is certainly an emotion. one time vaya started a rumor that poison and jet were a thing but everyone was just kinda like “lol that’s be so funny” about it so it passed over.

ok I think thats all I have for now?? thx for reading <3
