Previously on MTLWWCNN... (prior to Jan 26, 2026)
Hello, and welcome to MTLWWCNN, the one and only news outlet covering the McTabby's, Liquor, & WallWall Construct!
I'm your host, Tip Dsfalkweon. Today, we aim to cover the events that occurred in the MTLWW Construct prior to the founding of this blog. As this is a daunting task, we will not be able to cover everything in quite as much detail as it deserves, but we aim to do our due diligence.
This will be quite the long post, so tune in below the Keep Reading button, and let's get started!
In the beginning, there was the Tower working retail at WallWall. The Prisoner joined her, working behind the counter at the nearby McDonald's, and soon thereafter, the universe spiraled, bringing us to where we are today.
Meet The Cast!
@towerworkingretail-official - works at WallWall, a reality-warping retail shop. Her "bee-eff" (bird follower) The Broken sits on her shoulder and aids her in certain tasks.
@stp-minimum-wage-prisoner - works behind the register at McTabby's. Her chains are connected to the floor but it's on a sliding track, so she does have some mobility. Suffered burns in one of The Fires, leaving her with nerve damage.
@stp-the-razor-minimum-wage - the primary, and prior to recently, only operator of The Meat Kitchen of McTabby's. Specializes in making her coworkers and anyone who crosses them burgers and meat fries. Current life goals are figuring out who she is, not being a monster, and three hugs at once.
@minimum-wage-damsel-stp - one of McTabby's cashiers, only recently discovering the horrors that lay within. Once trusted everyone, briefly trusted only one, will she strike a healthy balance? Tune in intermittently to find out.
@stp-minimum-wage-spectre - perhaps the most well-adjusted McTabby's worker, despite being a ghost. Called the cops when her coworker committed a murder in front of her. Threatened to quit when she realized the burgers were made out of people. Truly a beacon of morality.
@stp-minimum-wage-stranger - five whole employees at once! Prone to violence, pacifism, and self-contradiction, there's never a dull moment at the register with these ones.
@minimum-wage-vothunted - the first of the Voices on our roster, but not the first one chronologically, Hunted stays in his lane and does his job, taking the events that occur around him in stride. Truly employee of the month material, but we'll see if this star behavior sticks around by the time McTabby's been open for a month.
@stp-minimum-wage-broken - yup, you heard that right, folks, we've got a duplicate on our hands! Surprisingly grounded for one called Broken, this voice works diligently at the register when he's not sent on grocery runs to WallWall. He's met his duplicate and wasn't even that shaken about it!
@stp-minimum-wage-smitten - He's at Burger King looking for his Burger Queen. What more can I say? A lot, actually! Formerly a cheerful, bombastic register worker, he has been transferred into the McTabby's Meat Kitchen following a burger incident, and is in the process of regaining his color. And did I mention he's bitterly divorced with the fry cook? Stay tuned to find out who his Burger Queen will be! Or even... Burger Queens?
@deconstructed-damsel-at-work - she just wants to make you happy! And as our first representative of the McTabby's Fry Kitchen on this list, her slightly floral scent is sure to brighten your day :)
@minimum-wage-patd - once an Empathetic Heart, Dragon willingly gave up her emotions and sense of touch within days of working the McTabby's Fry Kitchen, and is now a professional assassin. Who knew that access to all of The Long Quiet's memories of how he's been wronged could negatively affect a person's psyche? She's got some extradimensional shenanigans going on, folks!
@stp-frycook-mrthecold - the original proprietor of the McTabby's Fry Kitchen (and Smitty's divorcee), Mr. The Cold doesn't always live up to his name! Though he struggles with self-image issues (like a large majority of minimum wage workers), he feels very strongly about certain topics.
@stp-minimum-wage-contrarian - meet certain topics! The jokester Contrarian used to hang around the McTabby's sowing trouble for the kick of it, but after the manager found out, they were promptly hired as a dubiously paid intern. They have a hand in a lot of the situations that crop up around the McTabby's, and as such, blame themself for a lot of what goes wrong. They are a proud parent of two, somehow - Eggy, the gosling, and Roach Fryer, the sentient, armed, dysfunctional deep fryer home to a swarm of roaches.
@ask-the-dee - the PRECIOUS mantis-like, friend-shaped, helpful, alternate version of Damsel, beloved by the whole Construct and beyond. Her favorite foods are roaches and peas. Splemdiferous!
@stp-minimum-wage-witch - local crazed cat lady with trust issues and a crush on the ghost! She's helpful, she's a manipulative bastard, she's honest, she's just a silly guy, she's a Woman In Total Control of Herself! Also, she's the janitor.
@stp-minimum-wage-opportunist - public enemy #1. Dons the apparel of McTabby's mascot Spoons the cat, unwillingly. Favorite pastimes include waterboarding fellow employees but with trash bags instead of water, and shamelessly manipulating them.
@stp-minimum-cage - she's the McTabby's security system! Commonly found perched on the drink fridge, this head would really like for someone to talk to her and not leave her alone in the dark where the horrors lurk in her mind. What? No, she's fine! Ignore the screaming. She's fine.
@nobladesonlybrawn - Adversary and Eye of the Needle run a secret fight club in the basement of the McTabby's! Don't tell them I told you, shh!
@stp-fightclub-stubborn - fight club frequenter, gambling addict #1, now with extra beans!
@skeptics-journal-log - gruff ex-mafia detective who's taken up a third job at McTabby's, although the specifics are unclear. Register, maybe? His most valuable contribution to the building, however, is his cat, @minimumwage-sherlock.
@stp-the-shifting-manager - our supreme leader! Change herself, overseeing all at the McTabby's.
@stp-minimum-wage-wounded - one-half of the Wild, she is Shifty's assistant manager!
@stp-minimum-wage-wild - the other half of the Wild, she is the building itself, encompassing McTabby's, the fight club, and the liquor store next door!
@ze-drowned-french - The Drowned Grey, but make her French! Currently the sole employee of the Liquor Store, and renovating it into a tavern and gambling ring.
@drowningandburningjobs - Drowned and Burned Grey, regular edition! They are a lifeguard and firefighter, respectively.
@denandbeastgardeningbusiness - they're a very well trusted gardening service, who double as florists!
@stp-maximum-wage-hero - yes, you read that right, our beloved Hero is a MAXIMUM wage worker! At his old job, his manager tried to set his salary to negative one dollar, so it reset to the integer limit, making him a billionaire in one week! He was promptly fired and sent to join the Tower at WallWall.
@the-employed-quiet - Slay The Princess has never been more The Stanley Parable! TLQ, narrated and managed by The Narrator, works at a nearby ominous office building and comes to McTabby's for the occasional lunch break.
@stp-contrarian-student-intern - another duplicate, waiter! This Contrarian works at the same building as TLQ, presumably with the same level of benefits. Yikes.
That's all the people! Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, we have plenty of objects and creatures here, too:
@minimum-jerry-wage (lizard like creature who skitters)
@stp-minimum-wage-freezer-cow (cow in the freezer. liminal)
@stp-minimum-wage-freezer (engaged to the roach fryer)
@stp-minimumwage-mcdongalds-fryer (now with extra weapons)
@stp-minimum-wage-drink-fridge (drink fridge)
@stp-minimum-wage-blade (it would be very hard to slay the Princess and save the world without it)
Okay! Now that all that's over with, time to actually get on with the
Major Events
Bubblepocalypse! Contrarian filled the bathrooms with soap bubbles and got Damsel to join in on it. A tame taste of what is to come.
The Health Inspector appears. Oh no. Actually, Helath Inspector (legally distinct). Fake mustache, clipboard, asking too many questions. Razor really wanted to turn him into a burger but Prisoner wouldn't let her. But then he told Damsel doors are problematic, insinuating she had used something problematic, getting her to tear up, then tried to make the situation better by saying it was the stupid building's fault, not hers, and she started to cry even harder because he called the building stupid, so Prisoner told Razor hey actually kill this man. Damsel didn't see any of the murder though so we told her he left and forged good health inspection papers.
Razor tried to trick Contrarian into asking her to make them a burger. They wisely ran away. Contrarian and Cold were talking in the fry kitchen and Contrarian fully stepped in a puddle of boiling oil. Cold administered first aid, covering Connie in condiments. They're so yaoi.
The helath inspector's husband comes in and tries to investigate helath inspector's disappearance. He tases Connie and Cold, Cold tases him back. He dies off screen.
The roach fryer goes missing. Cold finds it, having grown legs and sentient, in the parking lot. Brings it back in.
Contrarian doesn't go back to work after the policé officer (helath's husband) (legally distinct from police) incident. Damsel goes to find them, and finds them sleeping in the supply closet they live in. They talk briefly, then both fall asleep because it's Very Cozy™.
The FBI shows up.
They come to warn us about escaped convicts who turn places radioactive if left unchecked and masquerade as a "helath inspector" and "policé officer". Don't trust them. We go "okey!" grateful that there are no consequences to our actions.
Razor has been trying to lure Damsel into the kitchen for a while now. But Cage and Prisoner say it would make them happy if she didn't go into the kitchen. But Razor says it would make her happy if she did.
Razor tells Smitten a secret (she has knives for bones) because he is her Good Friend Smitten!
Someone orders burger and dies. Spectre asks if they meant burger and fries. Cold hits them over the head with a fry basket and kills them. Spectre is horrified and calls the police. Cold tells Razor "be ready, the new girl called in a huge meat order." Razor doesn't question it. We never follow up on this.
Damsel has dirty dishes somehow. Smitten carries them into the kitchen. Razor tells him there's a sink in that definitely not suspicious alcove with all the knives in it and ketchup on the floor! Razor turns him into burgers.
Cold comes in and collects Smitten feathers, then goes back into the fry kitchen.
Damsel decides to visit Razor in the kitchen, and Cage convinces her to try the fry kitchen. Witch tasks Connie with distracting Razor. They discover Smitten. Razor asks if they want a Smitten Burger. Cold says "why are you in here to see Razor? She's in charge of the meat kitchen." They go into the meat kitchen. Razor says she's making Smitten Burgers. Damsel says that's very sweet of her. Razor asks if she wants one. Damsel says she wouldn't want to take away from what was meant for Smitten. Witch pops in and tries to convince Damsel to go back to the register. Connie succeeds, telling her they'd make her some fries. Crisis averted. A whole bottle of ketchup is fried. Damsel does not like it. Cold does.
Smitten respawns, upset with Razor. She doesn't understand how that could have offended him, but realizes it did, and offers the pristine blade to him saying he can burger her any time he'd like. He uses it for... not that.
Cold deep fries several bottles of alcohol. The McDonald's is on fire. Prisoner is burned pretty badly. Burned Grey puts out the fire. Contrarian first aids Cold. Yaoi
An anon asks Damsel who her least favorite coworker is, and to answer truthfully or else they will be very sad. Damsel is uncomfortable. Connie tells her to just say it's them! Damsel has a crisis about it (the anon said answer truthfully and that wouldn't be truthful but does she even have a truthful answer?)
Connie gets hired as an unpaid intern. Proceeds to steal from the register and splurge at WallWall (the store Tower works at). Somehow this leads to them getting a proper salary. Sets up a slip n slide in the hallway. Razor rockets down it at mach speeds and cracks her head on the counter, screaming in pain and going unconscious. Connie panics. Witch tries to hold Connie back, thinking this is one of Razor's tricks. Cold tries to help but doesn't really. Razor wakes up and doesn't remember anything. In fact, she's acting not like herself at all - normal.
And that, princesses and avians, is where things absolutely go to shit.
Along one branch, Connie has an absolute crisis over Razor not remembering anything and flees into their supply closet, where Damsel is also having A Time. They cry and hug each other and Connie thinks they're the worst person ever (and is having Stranger flashbacks and thinks they broke Razor and are unforgivable) and Damsel is all STOP THAT YOU'RE WONDERFUL.
Cold, having been unable to calm his Contrarian down, goes back to the fry kitchen and does the rational thing, tearing out his heart and putting it in a bag in the fridge so he doesn't have to deal with emotions.
Prisoner takes Razor to the freezer, because ice pack helps head wound. Contrarian and Damsel visit. Connie thinks it's all their fault and explains that to Razor, who doesn't get why they're guilty about it, that sounds like it would have been her fault unless they made the slide dangerous on purpose, and she has this gut feeling they wouldn't hurt anyone on purpose. She makes a joke that manages to make Connie laugh and it makes her heart warm. Prisoner accidentally talks about the Smitten Burgers while trying to calm the two of them down because now they're both worked up about Razor's state. Damsel asks what that meant. Connie tries to distract. Prisoner says Razor probably couldn't handle that right now, andyouprobablycanteither. Damsel gives her a chance to take it back, and Prisoner instead says "no. I don't think you can handle it. I think I would get halfway through telling you and you would have a breakdown because you realized what it meant. Damsel tells her to stop calling her Dams. Connie runs away. Prisoner storms off. Razor and Damsel hug and Damsel goes and gets a blanket and they fall asleep cuddling together.
Contrarian finds Cold and tries to tell him how horribly everything's going but Cold gives them the cold shoulder, currently being emotionless and all. Connie is further guilted by this.
Cold comes into the freezer and wouldn't you know it, having no heart impedes your health. Very low strength and stamina rn. Drops like four fry boxes before going back.
Connie and Witch talk, and find Cold's heart in the fridge. They put two and two together, and with Witch distracting long enough for Connie to get in close, they and Cold have a passionate discussion before Cold allows them to put their heart back into their chest. They promptly die of blood loss (but they get better).
Opportunist finds Cage has been kidnapped, her body barricaded in a cabinet and her head in a trash bag out the back. She comes to only to find that he's in the mood for blackmail, and proceeds to choke her with the trash bag until she agrees to look the other way when he takes unauthorized breaks from being the mascot. She is horribly traumatized by this, taking up smoking candy cigarettes, hallucinating Opportunist in the dark (the lights are on), and engaging in yuriful behaviors with Spectre, Razor, and Damsel.
Prisoner never got treatment for her burns, and asks Witch to kill her so she can come back healthy again. She does so, and comes back to find that she has some lasting nerve damage.
Razor is asked to go back to her job, and goes into the meat kitchen only to find Witch has prepared a nasty surprise for her: interrogation. She tells Razor of the inherent danger she used to pose, and expresses distrust that she's really changed. Razor does not want to be a monster.
Opportunist, who is just the worst, tells Damsel about the murders Razor used to commit. Also he has a cold because he got sprayed by a water bottle by an anon. Repeatedly. As he deserves. Anyway, Damsel is horrified and disgusted, and now only trusts Oppy to tell the truth with her. She then talks to Connie, who says keeping things from her is the one rule they should have broken but didn't. Trust is rekindled there. She then talks to Witch, who advises against trusting Oppy but does just as much manipulation. She then talks to Oppy again, and learns that he and Witch killed each other in the construct.
Spectre asks Smitten how he's doing after the whole burgering incident, which improves his morale! He is then transferred to the meat kitchen, plunging it again.
Contrarian goes dumpster diving, and talks with Cold, and they nearly kiss but! Connie runs away again.
Damsel remembers she killed Quiet that one time in the construct and asks Prisoner about it. Prisoner, still defensive from their argument, continues to be a dick.
Dee meets several McTabby's employees! She eats the roach fryer, but is distraught when she learns it was Connie's pet, and gives them a rock carved in the shape of a roach as repayment. Cold proceeds to fix it, arming it with a taser. The gun is unrelated, it seems to have acquired that on its own.
Dee also goes on a quest to obtain peas! She is then arrested and sentenced to a month in jail. Wild, Jerry, and a few others break her out.
Suddenly, many objects gain sentience. This is the catalyst for Dragon going crazy and gaining a hunting license.
Razor has a great first shift, then takes a break and meets Smitten in the break room. Things are tense at first, but he agrees to give her another chance since he can see she's genuine about not wanting to be the way she used to be. At no point in this conversation does he realize she has amnesia. This should be fun!
Also in the break room, Witch talks to Razor, who asks why her name is Razor in a place where everyone's name seems to be some sort of title or descriptor...
...And now you're all caught up with the McTabby's, Liquor, & WallWall Construct news! I've been Tip Dsfalkweon, and don't forget to tip your waitress. Tune in tonight to learn about mysterious candles and yaoi!
