[ well, even a little light is better than absolutely nothing. Zero will pull out her clamshell to try and illuminate their surroundings a bit more, and take another slow, blind step into the room, scythe out and slowly sweeping across the floor in front of her. can't trip her, stupid ghosts. ]
And leave us all behind to slowly drown? Wow, thanks.
[The moment they both step into the room, the door will slam shut behind them. They will hear the lock click, and if they try the doorknob, they will find that they have been locked in.
The clamshells provide a little bit more illumination now that there's no additional source of light from anywhere else. Zero's scythe will scrape against what seems to be marble tiles, until eventually, it comes into contact with something. It makes a bit of a scraping sound as its nudged back an inch or two.
Which wall will they be following for a lightswitch? Left, right, or opposite directions.]
[Zero's scythe will continue to scrape against the marble floor as she moves along, occasionally bumping into things whenever she swings too far to the left. Eventually, she will run into a wall at the bottom of the right path.
Muzet will have a bit more luck, however. As she follows the left wall, she will eventually run into a switch on the wall.]
[Seriously, though. Muzet hits the switch, and the fluorescent tubes above them come to life. Good work finding the lightswitch! Now that they have found a source of illumination, they can finally see where the heckie they have broken into. At a simple glance, they will see...
- A restaurant dining room right in front of them. There are tables scattered across the room, each one surrounded by up to four chairs. Booths have been set up in the corners of the room, as well. - Some of the chairs to the right are crooked and faintly scratched, almost like something moved them... Zero wouldn't know anything about that, huh? - Each table has: A napkin dispenser, salt and pepper shakers, and a bottle of some pink-ish sauce. - There is a counter beyond the dining room, with a waist height rolling door. - Though they can't see all the details from there, there's a kitchen behind the counter. A row of three rotating spits is visible from where they're standing, each one already prepped with meat.
There is, in fact, something on the counter. It's a pen and a carbonless invoice book, about the size of Zero's hand. Something seems to be scribbled on it.]
[ mods I'm going to be so mad if you make me do math ]
What the hell is this...?
[ another strike against not Spain - the total lack of diners. Zero will pick up the invoice book and look through it. anything juicy? demon rituals, treasure maps, sex scandals? ]
This is going to be like that stupid sex recording thing, isn't it.
[ or maybe the titty cake challenge. Junpei said there were puzzles in the locked room, but honestly, she'd been hoping for something she could smash her way through.
Zero will take the pen and paper. maybe she can trade it to one of the info idiots around the ship for something good. ]
Muzet steps behind the counter, Zero grabs the pen and paper, and suddenly — something happens. The lights inside the restaurant dim, as each seat in the dining area is suddenly populated by shadowy, humanoid figures. Neither Muzet nor Zero will be able to make out their features, but as they gaze upon them... They will feel as if they were looking at someone they love (platonically or romantically) from their world.
Huh.
Muzet will suddenly find one of these figures standing next to her. The figure leans against the counter and gestures at the dining area. Even though they might feel the urge to attack or step away from it, they will find themselves unable to move as the figure begins to speak.]
The job's pretty easy. You [pointing at Zero] take and serve the orders. And you [pointing at Muzet] cook. Do you want a practice round before we start, or are you girls good to go?
[The voice, for some reason, will sound like their own.
And while they're unable to move, their lips and vocal chords are working just fine.]
[ this is the one brain cell usage she's got and it's going to hoping that the practice round will let them know enough of what to expect so they don't fuck up. are they gonna get cursed if they do this wrong, oh no. ]
[The shadowy figure nods, moving away from the counter.]
Alright... Then here's how it goes—
[At this point, Muzet and Zero will receive instructions on what they have to do. Zero will use the invoices and pen to take orders from the different tables. She must deliver these invoices to Muzet. Muzet will read the contents of each invoice, and then prepare a meal based on what was ordered. Once the food is ready to go, Zero must pick up the order and deliver it to the right table. There are ten tables in total. For this practice round, they will only be servicing one: TABLE A.
TABLE A will begin to sparkle softly, allowing Zero to easily identify it for this practice round. Once the figure is done explaining what they have to do, it will gesture at the table.]
Let's give it a whirl, then. Go on and take their order, while your friend preps the kitchen.
[ ...squints at the booklet. what is a 'gyro.' ... okay so that's the meat, you. scrape it off the spits?
weird, but all right! wait, you need to put like the sauce on the bread first don't you-- where's the bread
oh! found the pita! so there goes the tzatziki onto the pita-- maybe a little too much of it-- some salad, and some very unevenly cut but generous helpings of lamb. do the fryers already have cut potatoes going or does she have to look through the freezer for this okay no i'm saying there's fries ready cut and dunked into the oil already WHEW
the rice bowl is literally just going to be rice, with four balls of falafel on top. in fact the bowl she picked might actually be a little small, have fun not losing any of the falafel when you carry it over, Zero. ]

Well, now that we've got that working, why don't we take a closer look, hm? That smells quite delectable.

Hard to go wrong with meat.

Excuse me?

- 1 Falafel Rice Bowl
Seems... simple enough?
Luckily for Muzet, she will find a small booklet near her work station. It has the recipes for everything on the menu.
Godspeed, girls.]
