i stared at the burger, and it stared back.

slams the money on the window -- ❝  old jerky, please . two servings of it . ❞ 

💀 — [ Cesare gives this guy a once-over, weighing the ( literal ) heavy-handed payment to his polite ' please. ' decidedly, a single finger is pressed to the bills, dragging them toward himself. ]

" Yessir! I'm sure you need that protein in the BIG leagues. The expired preservatives may even be a performance enhancer. "

[ it doesn't need much preparation, it's old jerky. the stale, brittle meat is dropped into a paper bag and SLAMMED on the counter with just as much force as the payment. ]

@savidem said: “ isn’t that all just you “

Wow, rude, though not inaccurate. Where'd this sassy lost baseman come from anyway?

@savidem BOUGHT a STARTER .

     WHAT   A   QUIET   LIFE   THE   MERCHANT   LED.   zone 2, collectively known as   BISMARK,   was a   ( less than )   beautiful collection of an array of   BUSINESSES   and   AREAS   for all those who   dared   to explore them. not a soul who wandered through these districts and regions would find a   MORTAL / CREATURE   who inhabited their vessel, outside of the   ELSEN'S   and typical array of   SIDE - CHARACTERS   zacharie affectionately called his   FRIENDS & FAMILY.   but there was one particular   PLACE   that held an arrangement of knick - knacks and essentials that fueled the frenzied consumerism that the   ( very little )   patrons desired   -----   the   SHOPPING CENTER.   what a stunning maze this place was, filled with   TWIST / TURNS   and a variety of   SOULS   that were as lost as they were upon their manifestation.   sweet bliss, is it not?   perhaps not to the average player, but zacharie certainly enjoyed the aimless mindset that each organism carried within their think - pan.

     aside from a few friends   ( and arguably, family )   such as the   JUDGE   and   VALÉRIE   ( where has he been? dead, he knew. ),   not a single soul that inhabited these beautiful zones had a thought behind their mindless eyes. but recently, a newcomer had appeared that harbored MALICIOUS   intent in regards to their home, but zacharie understood the   MISSION   and recognized the player behind the visage was only completing their desired quest.   c'est la vie, as they say!

     the masked merchant working behind the counter had likely polished his wares approximately fifty - or - so times before his friendly little   BATTRE   came in. the man did not even need to look toward his direction, back facing the purifier as he reorganized his stock for the tenth time this past hour   ( was time even real here? he didn't know. but it did provide structure ).   upon the   DING   of the bell from his arrival, the merchant turned on one heel to face the   CREATURE,   his eyes glimmering behind the mask. he was ready to present his well - appointed lines to the retched, as he had expected his arrival long before his manifestation in the zones.

     ❛ hola, ma petite battre, how has the weather been treating you this fine day? ❜   first of all, it wasn't day. time didn't exist in this world, at least not to his knowledge. and the weather? gloomy and stale, and it   REEKED   of plastic.

     ❛ how's the purification of these precious little zones been, hm? do you perhaps need a   LUCK TICKET   to give yourself a bit of a boost? only 40 creditos, mi amigo. ❜   zach was lax in movement, placing his elbow on the counter as he rested his head on hand, tilting it in general curiosity.

@savidem said ; “ Pride isn’t sinful; it is confidence in yourself. ”

❛ if you say so, purificateur! i wasn't AWARE someone who manifested here not - too - long ago could DETERMINE what harbored sin and what didn't. ❜ the masked merchant was close to the man, close enough to provide a FRIENDLY ( ? ) pat on the back to the bat - wielding butcher.
