Yuletide 2 - Battle 1

[cascadingfailure]

[ Once you enter the Escape Room, a series of messages pops up on your phones: ]

TOTAL⚓DISASTER: Wellll it looks like Naffy's out of commission? It'll take her awhile to reboot with how hard she just got hit by the autocensor!
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: Whatever you did, it really made her mad! Haha!
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: Anyway since I know what's going on now, I'm happy to help! It looks like the nature of the threat is a gang war between an evil thought sealed and another that you all and your fans helped to return to the world of the not-so-living? Wild!
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: In case you didn't get the memo, this means you're going to explore the combination WcDonald's and Damned Queen's Cookies!
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: There you'll find something you're looking for, probably…? But mostly you're looking for a way to contain the outbreaks!
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: And fortunately, we've received a message from a friendly entity known only as "The Borger King", who apparently has a stake in the downfall of Lonard's lost empire…
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: It says:
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: There is a war going on for your mind. Steal their secrets. Create the Ultimate Prankburger. The king awaits. Salvation will come.
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: Wow! It looks like it's time for corporate espionage, or something?
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: Anyway, you get to keep everything you find, unless it's a dolphin! That's mine.
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: Better get going! Charge!!!!!

[ And then everything goes white... ]

Ah - yeah, you might be right.

Sorry, dude, we'll try and pick up the pace.

Re: COMMUNICATIONS

[bondsofsuffering]

Sorry for what, landing in a different area?

Take your time. We'll keep exploring on this side, too - there's got to be something useful we can do in the meantime. Besides, didn't the messages say something about an Ultimate Prankburger?

That sounds like your guys' job.

Re: COMMUNICATIONS

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah... there's like some kinda burger construction line, and I got the secret sauce already.

Re: COMMUNICATIONS

[bondsofsuffering]

Good luck. Maybe that'll turn out to be the solution to everything.

Re: COMMUNICATIONS

[crossmyheartandhope]

Fingers crossed.

Though...

[Hesitates]

[Turns off the comms]

[Switches to his phone,]
