Could you possibly embroider something on one of my ties? They're boring

I'll repay you in... something

@mouseland-lukas

Hello Lukas.

I'd be thrilled to embroider them. ^_^ I'm flattered you're coming to me, you want something specific on them. Or I got free range?. No promises on no lace.

Yeahhh, you can freestyle i don't mind. No lace though

Suddenly, without a proper warning, Matt burst in holding a pass that read “Dinner for 2” and a logo for [insert your favorite restaurant]. “Great news! My boss said that for this months employee of the month, I get to take one of you out for dinner!” (PURELY PLATONICALLY!!)

"Thank you so much for your efforts and hardwork, Jett," she says, surprisingly not at all sarcastically (despite her tone), because she knows he really is of great help in maintaining many rides of the park. "But don't go taking all the credit, will you...? Don't forget that my beloved Castle is all my work. No other soul involved."

Closing her eyes and raising a finger one after another, she begins to enumerate some of the key, unforgettable features of the Castle that couldn't originally be found there before. "The lights, sound effects, pretty colors, magically opening curtains and doors... From just a plain old house solely called a 'castle'..." she shoots a very brief, judgeful look at Matt, who turns away in slight embarrassment. "...Me and my—yes, my—programming, tech, as well as acting and speaking skills, were the ones that actually turned the Castle into a place the public can be truly fascinated by. All for free too, by the way! You're welcome~" Avery, still seated in her chair, bows her head down slightly with a forced smile.

"...Well, of course. Not to strip you of your freedom of choice, or say that nobody else is worthy of the title or anything. But I'm just saying, I wouldn't think I'm tooo far down in the list of candidates for 'Employee of the Month'... Y'know what I mean~?" Avery's eyes avert back to her phone, where they originally were. "...Plusss, a free dinner doooes sound pretty nice... Can't say I've been eating all that well recently either......" she mumbles under her breath, seemingly a thought intended only for herself.

So with something of a farmers tan on her left arm they raised their brows a little, clearing his throat to make herself known. "It's certainly great you both manage your jobs so well. You're both well skilled." Thats when their eyes fix on Matt.. Awfully familiar shirt. Inali swore it was one he'd mended. Actually. So are Jetts pants.

When had Inali started doing repairs on everyone's stuff..?? But. The dinner, it'd be. Nice, a good excuse to wear something nice. Eat good food without feeling his wallet pang in regret.

. . . . . .

“You guys will not believe the day I had. First I got attacked by seagulls while eating fries, then some girl spilled paint all over me, and some dog bit me! What is going on?!”

He barely noticed the figurative lightbulbs clicking over all his employees heads.

"What uhm. How did that happen?" Lukas asked. He awkwardly smiled at matt, that was weird. Lukas didnt smile at matt.. at all.

"The day you had, Matt?" He perks up, looking himself like he'd wrangled a wild bull and lost. Well, bulldog, to be specific. "And it just didn't occur to you that you should, I don't know, tell someone about the wild dog on the fuckin' loose? That little... thing ran through my queue and I had to wrestle that mutt to the floor! It pissed in my line! On my tracks! I do the repairs and cleaning on that y'know!?" He snaps, head throbbing from his own noise level.

"And how would a little girl even get access to our paint? Like the paint cans we keep locked in the storage rooms in the theatre?" He questions, tone flat. "You know. The ones that are meant to be locked. So there's no access to things like, for example, our paint cans." He adjusts his grip on the ice. "And maybe, I don't know, a paint spill would also cause kids to step in the spill and then— can you guess where they go? On our rides, yes." He huffs, settling back into his chair.

They all were fighting, debating what ride was harder to operate. It was a giant calamity of words and screams, almost developing to violence.

Matt seemed to have had enough, bursting into the eye of the hurricane and shoving the others aside.

“Quit it! If you think it’s so easy to do each others jobs, then trade.”

Avery shrinks momentarily at the sudden interruption of Matt's voice, only to afterwards huff as she lightly slams her locker door. "Fine! Let us switch then!" she begins. "Not to be disrespectful or anything, promise, but I just don't get how your places are any more chaotic than mine. I mean—"

She first points to Jett, then to Eli, her hand's focus alternating between the two. "Okay, I guess I sort of understand you guys. Your rides are big, require a lot of tech and management stuff, and break down sometimes—" A very brief look of judgement at Matt. "But that doesn't even sound that bad! Hell, Jett's even said he likes it when his ride breaks down because then he can avoid actually working!" Avery's hands keep waving in the air, her voice heightening throughout her complaints. "The worst you guys probably deal with is shitty customers, and, be so for real. All of us get that. The entire park gets that!" Another look of judgement towards Matt before she turns to Inali.

"I'd say yours isn't all that different either. It just sounds less complicated than Eli and Jett's, but similar mechanics."

Then to Lukas, who doesn't respond with words either, but instead a sneer and eyebrow roll. "Don't even get me started on you! What on earth do you even do at your job besides press like, two buttons and sit down to watch the same three movies over and over again with the customers? PLUS, with the AC!"

Avery flops down on one of the chairs, yanking off her Mouseland headband, the ears that are barely staying on being covered by ribbons and accessories from Inali, strands of her pigtailed hair getting stuck with it. "The Castle requires social interaction, knowledge about the place's layout and story, management of customers, especially kids, who might go wandering and ruining the entire place— only for people to barely care at all about anything besides the pictures and not respecting anyone at all!"

She pinches the bridge of her nose, sighing. Then turns back to the others in the room. "Well?"

@jetting-on-by @elis-encyclopedia @inali-anachronism @mouseland-lukas

He turns to eli and jett, "at least your rides are interesting! Shitty, but interesting.."

He stood up, "at least your job is visually appealing" he pointed at Avery. "All the pretty colours and design"

He turned towards the break room door, "Im leaving. This is a stupid debate. I have bad movies to show people who have massive egos."

"Oh quit your bitchin'." He groans, rubbing at his eyes. His head usually pounded with a headache when he left the Manor, the dull lighting making any kind of light seem ten times brighter. "I have hands down the hardest ride, no competition." He starts, gesturing along with his words. "Dim lights, practically roller-coaster level operation! Then all the whinin' and cryin' from these little kids and complaints from parents who didn't think it'd actually be scary? Put me out of my miseryyy..." He groans dramatically.

He brushes some hair from his eyes, then regretting the motion as it brings more light to his eyes. "Which, I guess not to say you guys don't have it rough. I'm definitely not well equipped to work with idiots and walk around some dainty Castle for hours on hours, I'll give ya that. And that big world ride... I definitely don't wanna work near water, the constant smoke machines are enough for me." He fidgets nervously at the recalling of some tragic employee deaths video he'd watched once while stoned. "And Inali... no hate to you man, but I'll die if I stay in the light anymore than I have to. Props to you though, that's a bitch of a job... besides mine."

She turns to the two again, an eyebrow raising. "Only two rides left are Eli's and Jett's, so... looks like it's all settled!" With a clap, she begins her summary, pointing to each member at the mention of their names. "Jett's taking the cinema, Lukas's taking the Castle, I'll be at the Carousel, Inali at the Big World, and Eli at the Manor."

Finally, she turns to Matt, who, the entire time, has had his head in his hands, sighing at the chaos in front of him. "Well, boss? The plan sound good?" she asks with a teasing smile.
