Interaction Booth

A featureless, almost unnerving room of red, with a slight elevation in the middle. Although it seems to just be something bizarre...it's possible there is more to this place.

Bryan: Walk walk walk.

Bryan enters the strange, blank room first. He glances around, searching for some sort of point of interest...nothing. It's just red void...and that little elevation.

Stranger: Next comes Stranger, with Jasper right behind him. The two seem equally perplexed by the place, walking around and staring at the empty walls.

Jasper: "...It feels like we entered another world, kind of...It's both claustrophobic but...not?"

Bryan: "There's got to be some reason for this room to exist!" Bryan says to himself. an annoyed look on his face. He cups his hands together, yelling.

"Hey! Make something happen! Why is this here!?"

Jasper: "...Are we waiting for something?"

Bryan: "I mean, that prawn guy can at least see us, right? I thought that if I yelled loud enough, he'd like...do something."

Stranger: "It's possible that a room is ...well, just a room."

☍ : "Not quite, my clueless compadre! Nary there be a purposeless room, not while I'm around!"

God, this guy sounds pathetic. I think he's trying way too hard. Nevertheless...

Bryan: He is so shocked by the sudden voice that he falls over.

"Wh-- Huh?? Who was that??"

Jasper: "I d-don't know- I don't see anyone...?"

Stranger: "W...Why do they talk like that, too?"

☆ : "So what's the deal with airline food"

Jasper: "AIRLINE??? FOOD??"

Jasper: He looks like he's going to pass out again, but slaps himself in the face in order to prevent that.

☍ : "Quiet, you dumbfounded deity of unknown origin! There shan't be airlines nor foodstuffs in this establishment, and especially not a combination of the two!"

Stranger: "H-Hold on-- Did you say...deities?"

Jasper: "Deities? Those guys?? We haven't seen one since God died- don't tell me these could possibly be those!"

☍ : "Yes! For you see, I shall provide the whole lot of ye a saving grace in such terrible, terrible circumstances! Oh pity! Who needs some schhMUCKS when you have my glorious provisions?"

Jasper: ...I figured deities would boggle our minds...but this one just sounds insane...!

Jasper: He is practically frozen in place from confusion, looking at every corner of the room to find a source of the voice...but there is none.

Δ : (This isn't a voice, but it is a pretty clear image, isn't it?)

Stranger: ...A crouton?

Bryan: A crouton.

Jasper: "I-Is your provision a crouton??" He yelps. How are they beaming these things into their brains...!?

☍ : "GAH! That... was NOT my doing! I would never stoop to such inexpensive, low-quality visions of whatchamacallits! It strictly goes against my moral principles!"

∴ : "hey sorry just testing what exactly we can beam into your brains"

Jasper: GAAAAAH!!!

Jasper is absolutely horrified by the visions of some lanky, alien creature and their hand, pouring infinite mustard down it...in a state of panic, he runs right out of the room.

Stranger: "W...Why?? What is that?"

∴ : "test vision :)"

Bryan: "Test, I-I mean, if you're gods-- I would assume that you could do that!"

Ivan: "...Hey, what's happening in hereee~?"

∴ : "Hello Ivan!"

Ivan: !!

"Oh- shit- that crystal boy wasn't kidding!! ...Who are you?"

Stranger: "Gods, apparently."

∴ : "deities yea"

Ivan: "Wooah!! That's cool...hey, if you're deities, can you do some deity magic and poof us outta here?"

☍ : "Not particularly! I've watched a few too many short-form content, and I can assure to you that prawn-power-scaling is... unheard of!"

Ivan: "Damn, worth a shot..."

Stranger: "Does-- that prawn control your powers? How is that even possible...?"

∴ : 🤷

☍ : "I give not a care in the world for it! Prawn are cool, anyways, aren't they? I'd trust a prawn with my life!"

Bryan: "I'm...not too sure about that-"

The Destroyer: DING-DING-DING!

The Destroyer: "Ahem...Sorry to interrupt your meet-and-greet with the gods, but I have some things to give out! Wrap up your things and head to the theatre room once more!"

Ivan: "...Oh, geez. What's that guy doing this time?"

∴ : "boo. well see you guys later i suppose"

☍ : "So soon? Damn you, prawn! But please... in due time, come back once more! I'll give this gift, I'm sure of it!"

Stranger: "...Are you not able to give it to us now? I don't think we're in a rush. Besides, I'm curious."

☍ : "There was going to be this cool dramatic build up and everything and now it's ruined! I couldn't possibly- oh fuck it. Here. I heard demand for this was high."

Upon the extrusion appears... a copy of PAW PATROL WORLD (2023), for the Sony Playstation 5.

"I feel as if the age rating is most appropriate for all of you! So, enjoy! Don't ask me how I got this. See you guys soon."

∴ : "paw patrol???????"

☍ : "It was either this or Demon's Souls."

Stranger: He picks it up...and just stares at it.

"...Thanks?? I'm not sure what any of this means...but I do like dogs."

Stranger: He shoves the game in a pocket on his jacket, and gestures for the other two to leave.

"Let's go see what that prawn wants. See you later, uh...whoever you guys are."

And thus, the group heads out.

☍ : "See? I think it went well. Don't doubt me and my gift-giving prowess ever again."

∴ : "sure bud"
