Ghost Kitchen (brought to you by criminal entrepreneur, Red Hood)
Danny’s got the easiest job in Gotham.
He works as a fry cook at a shoddily-run, independent burger joint. Hardly anyone comes in, despite prices being criminally low, and portions insanely large, and while the manager looks like the average tough-as-nails ex-con, he lets Danny mess around in the kitchen whenever the place is empty. (Which is often. This place has to be the city’s hidden gem or something!)
Mr. Manager’s the only one ever there with Danny, except for sometimes when his buddies come over to smoke and play cards. Danny would find it shady, except part of his job is not to ask questions. Literally, he was told during the interview.
(It was a weird interview. Why would they need to hire someone who’s been in a gunfight before? Like, he has, but Gotham’s idea of “hirable qualities” is so bizarre.)
So instead he whips up some killer burgers with the frozen ingredients, and basks in the praise as the guys tell him he shouldn’t have, he does too much for this joint, ain’t that friendly!
Now, Danny’s a chef on the newer side. As a teen he’d preferred the look of Nasty Burger over anything with Michelin stars, and he only really took up cooking after Jazz moved out for college. But just like ecto-exposure used to turn the groceries sentient, Danny’s low-level ecto signature imbues all his food with something historically haunted Gothamites just love! And Danny’s never been one to half-ass a job when it makes people happy.
With fresher produce, real meat, Danny’s sure he can take his dishes to the next level. It takes a couple months of badgering, but his manager finally agrees to contact the mysterious store owner, who keeps the place going, despite profits Danny knows have to be in the red.
Danny spends the morning prepping. He pours his heart into his food, eager to impress. The big boss will be here soon, and he wants to prove that despite the dangerous location, this place has real potential!
It isn’t until the Red Hood shows up that Danny realizes he’s been working for a money laundering scheme.

Notes: Draft excavation is going well, if you can't tell. Hope you enjoy being a shiny new bunch of pixels for some blorbos.
WOULD THEY PULL FOR YOU IN A GACHA GAME:
Izuru Kira:
Yes. Absolutely. He’s been waiting for you to join the pool since the moment your model leaked. He joined the fanfiction contest to win your merch (and loses). The rush of joy from hearing your voice line when he pulls you brings tears to his eyes and he absolutely ignores how concerning that is.
Akon:
He will and he’ll shamelessy whale. He’s too busy to farm currency and it’s not like he’s strapped for cash. 100% he’s working on a VR model of you as soon as you’re announced. You’re always on the team no matter how useless you are on a given mission or level because he loves a challenge.
Shuhei Hisagi:
He blames the fuck out of Izuru and Akon for getting him addicted to the game—and worse, excited about a bunch of pixels. But he is, so excited. He joins the fanfiction contest for you (and wins). And he sacrifices half a week of lunches to pull you. Your phone charm is proudly displayed. He is wrangled into even more debt to Urahara for the merch conversion.
Rangiku Matsumoto:
She saw Shuhei’s phone charm, thought it was really cute, and loves the idea of a phone game to pass the time during all the time passing she does on the clock. She gets you on her first pull and shows Shuhei. “Look, it’s just like your cute little phone charm!” Her rng luck is so insane that both Shuhei and Izuru have her pull for them (it doesn’t rub off).
Nanao Ise:
Although she very much did not appreciate Rangiku downloading a game on her phone, she did give it a chance. In secret. Facing away from any windows. She doesn’t care much for the gacha aspect, but finds the game play passable. She diligently does her dailies & events and that’s it. It’s alright stress relief. You go unpulled.
Shunsui Kyoraku:
Shunsui easily finds his way into Nanao’s phone and discovers your game sitting right next to a shogi app. He downloads it and is delighted by all the characters! He doesn’t understand how to play but skids through the tutorial. He pulls for you, fails, and doesn’t understand how to pay for currency. He does take a screenshot of you and ask Nanao ‘Let me borrow them from you!’ He barely escapes alive.
Harribel Tier:
Shunsui flaunts your game around in their monthly Peace meeting and she demands an upgraded soul phone. Much like Shunsui, she doesn’t understand the game. But she wants to pull for you. Her three adjuchas bicker endlessly over small print until they figure out how to pull and the most effective way to pull in consideration to chance percentages. She treats you like a tamagotchi (that needs no care and doesn’t die).

I'm dumping this weirdly specific hc bc it's been bugging me for a week now and I need to write it down.
Ok so was listening a lot to Stromae's Santé when I fell into HOA and that song just makes you wanna move especially when you are used to that type of rhythm.
Ergo, here're my thoughts on the HOA characters and their dancing abilities.
Eric is not very good, never was, and doesn't really care much for dancing. He will if he's a bit into his drinks or really in the mood and with encouraging friends or his s/o, then he might not care as much and just try to have a little fun.
Merwin is meh, not particularly good or bad, a boisterous partygoer, dances mostly in groups or if he's trying to flirt.
Nick knows how to move that body, can dance pretty well to basically any music, his worst is decent because he has ✨rhythm✨. The one who probably start all the weird inside dance moves and shit, also that loud one who yells people's names and whistles and goes "hot damn, Joey! You go, Clarise! Show those moves, Salim!" etc.
Rachel is decent, can manage most dancing decently enough to go unnoticed if she wants to. You know, neutral good, can follow along a good dancer like Nick and guide a shy one like Eric (just an example).
Salim is clumsy but enthusiastic. He is that type of Dad(tm). His rhythm is ok, he's just not the smoothest and his body-awareness while dancing maybe not the best. It's just something from the way he moves in the game gives me that slightly clumsy and uncoordinated unless in adrenalineinfused-kneejerkreactions-life/death situation vibe. But he has fun and loves dancing. Absolutely unapologetic, as he should.
Jason has some ✨moves✨. Again from his ingame motion he feels smooth and like he knows where each part of him is. My hc here, he wasn't one for dancing unless drunk outta his mind because he's actually very self-conscious, but someone saw the potential in his body-awarenes and taught him how to put that to work on the dance floor. Now you need to watch out for those hip-swaying moves.
Joey is the one who taught Jason. Yes my dudes, this boy knows how to dance, especialy this type of music. He's that one friend who wrecks the dancefloor and encourages you to do the same. He loves dancing with friends and doesn't give a fuck what anyone thinks, he will hold your hand thru it until you feel confident enough to have your fun. Lovely fella.
Bonus track: Joey, Nicky and Jason are the type or group that is just fun to both watch and dance with bc they are both good and encouraging.
That's it, needed to put it down.

How I'm looking at you currently ↑
(I broke into your home Parable)
/p /silly
Why hello there!
And welcome to my Parable. There are cookies in the employee lounge if you are feeling a bit peckish, and Employee 409's computer has been altered to play nothing but Garfield and Friends episodes if you wish to watch something while snacking.
Just please make sure to not leave any crumbs on the floor. Lynne says that the Parable is littered with Mice, though im not sure if it™ means the computer mouses or actual digital mice.
Either way, please just clean up afterwards. 😊

FUN ORIGIN STORY? LORE DUMP LORE DUMP LORE DUMP!!
Yeah!!! So Lucky was born an earth pony!! She was always really ditzy and clumsy but somehow everything always seemed to work in her favor. One day, while playing in a clover patch, she finds this large, mysterious four leaf clover. Drawn to it, Lucky investigates. She touches her nose to the clover and- FLASH!!! A blinding light takes over as she grows wings and a horn. She also gains her cutie mark!!! By sheer luck (and magic lol) she became an alicorn!!! This of course changes nothing for her. She's not very good at magic or flying but, like I said, it still seems to work out for her anyway lol
