*Pumpkin walks in, holding the door for the person behind him*

[spoiler]im literally about to go to bed but I'll greet you in[/spoiler] Commander waves at you, and smiles as he nods. "Yep! We opened today, and it's been a rather successful night. We are about to close, so I (and irl me) can get some sleep, but I can serve you some of my sauerkraut pizza!"
-
Thank you! *takes slice* well I better head out anyway. I’ll come back tomorrow so we can get to know each other. [spoiler]Sorry, good night![/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]You're all good. And thanks![/spoiler] "Aye, you do that. The celebration's will still be going on, because the opening was delayed, so feel free to try our fun juice then!" [spoiler]Just so you know, It'll be this same post, just renamed.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]awesome![/spoiler] “Good I’ll try it tomorrow, see ya!” * Waves hand*
-
I am now awake again! You can come back, and follow this thread, or start a new thread, whichever suits you.
-
[spoiler]Awesome![/spoiler] *The Door to the Oil Tank, opens. It’s bell rings as a patron walks in. Pumpkin walks over to a table a sits* “Good Morning everyone, I hope you had a fantastic sleep” he says joyfully.

Early in the morning, not many are inside, and what would be a full restaurant full of sound and smell, is rather calm. The idle noise from the arcade machines and snippets of songs from the second floor is the only real sounds. The pizza bar is only half full, the two people manning it still putting pizza on the bar. The drink bar seems to lack the 'fun juice' that the whole town was talking about, and instead, a gold-metallic liquid is in its place, labeled "Upside-Down Juice". Living up to its name, the juice is sitting on the top of the container, and not the bottom. There is a ribbon on the stairs leading to the second floor, with a bouncer placed in front of it. The whole crew of employees is chilling on center tables, drinking coffee, and talking quietly. (I just copy/pasted this part, it's my day 2 intro.) Newcomer, residing at one of the tables, looks up and stretches, still obviously tired. He waves at you, and greets you, "Of course, we got great sleep, have you seen those booths?" He motions towards the booths and tables, and they do in fact look comfy.
-
Pumpkin got up from his table and sat down next to the man. “That’s great to hear! Those booths do in fact look comfortable” Pumpkin raised his hand towards the bar staff. “May I have a mug of Upside-Down juice?” He asked yawning.
-
"That stuff? Sure. Pretty sure Commander saved some Fun Juice from yesterday too, take your pick." Commander did save some, and he sets both the mug of glowy green and a cup of gold-metallic liquid in front of you. "We... don't know what Upside-Down Juice does yet." He drawls, scratching the back of his head, "I don't know which one'd be worse for you though."
-
I thank the waiter and grab the Metallic gold drink. “I’ll try this one” I take a sip from the mug. It was thick but very smooth (like blue milk from galaxies edge) I drank the rest and asked for some more. “This was fantastic!” At that moment pumpkin’s eyes flared. Everything became disoriented. Then it stopped. “What was that?”
-
"Like the fun juice from yesterday, Alchemist says it's designed to be a hallucinogen, but muss less strong. He called it Upside Down Juice, and I think it's because it floats upside down in the container. I wouldn't know why it doesn't in the cup..."
-
“Well I’ll have to try the fun juice. Yeah that is a very good question why doesn’t float in the cup” *waves hand and calls over alchemist.
-
Alchemist walks over. "Eh? Need something?" Commander slides the green-glowy fun juice cup over to you.
-
“Yes sir. I was wondering why the “Upside-down juice flats in the jar but doesn’t float in the cup?” *grabs fun juice cup and takes a sip*
-
"Heh. Hell if I know. I don't even know why it floats in there! I remember what all I put in the thing, but no clue what it does together. Life of an Alchemist, eh?" He laughs at his own joke, a rough, wheezing laugh. When you down the fun juice, immediately you feel very energized, and the taste of sweet cherry and lime fills your mind, clouding your thoughts. If you had full consciousness, you'd also notice your skin turning slightly green. You also notice that your vision is sharper, even if you can't clearly make out the details thanks to a muddled mind. It's not as major after a couple of seconds, once you get used to it.
-
“Eh ah” I look around disoriented my mind wobbly like I’m on the verge of sleep. My mind clears and everything leaves me. “Wow that was great! I need another gla-“ I grab my stomach as a sharp pain shoots through it. “Do you have a bathroom?!?!”
-
"Run outside, quick!" Commander urges, "The bathrooms are all closed for cleaning!"
-
I grab my stomach and run as fast as I can. I hit the door as I run outside making me fall. I get outside and wait patiently. Nothing happens. “What is going on with me?”
-
Alchemist peaks his head outside. "Going on with you? Heh. If I knew, buddy, a lot less people woulda got sick yesterday, huh? Whatever, it might be both the Upside-Down Juice, and the Fun Juice reacting together. Could be dangerous, could be fine." He grumbles, frowns at an empty part of the road, and walks back inside.
-
“Maybe it was both” I mumble to myself. I walk back inside and sit down. “Wow that was an experience. “Also alchemist what is with you and the road, if I may ask?”
-
"Eh? What road?" He says, not truly looking at you. Commander leads in slowly. "Alchemist... isn't firing on all cylinders, if you catch my meaning" he whispers.
-
“Oh ok” I whisper back “Can I have some food?”
-
Commander smiles. "Well," he says eagerly, "I have a wonderful pizza variant you can try." He starts rifling around under the pizza bar.
-
“I’m excited to try it” I eagerly smile.
-
From under the counter, Commander draws a pizza covered in... Sauerkraut.
