Probably we'd run out of things to do - [Open w/ some Closed Prompts as well]

[windeity]

WHO: John Egbert + a bunch of people + open
WHERE: Various districts
WHEN: The latter part of June
WHAT: Tasks + recruitment + other stuff
WARNINGS: Nope



Chata, OPEN

[Are you in Chata today? Are you outside of the grocery store today? John's hanging around, leaning against the side of the building with a clipboard in his hand. Starting a petition is…not quite what he has in mind, but he can bend it a little and maybe it'd count. Should anyone get close enough, he'll approach and grin a little, clipboard gripped firmly as he waves.]

Can I borrow a few minutes of your time?

Viea Village, OPEN

[Frankly, he's also a little bored and it's why he decides to commandeer a stall at the Farmer's Market today. The market's been quiet given the lack of people around, but today John's selling what appears to be…a bunch of baked goods. Tarts, cookies, pastries (no cupcakes, weirdly) and some candied apples.

For anyone passing by, he'll lean forward a little, nudging the tray toward you.]

Free sample on the house.

Tribunal Terrace, OPEN

[John can also be found walking from the parking lot of the hospital, carrying a couple of large boxes from his car toward the front door. There appears to be a handful of art supplies hanging out of the boxes, but as he passes by he'll commentate.]

Mind getting the door for me? I could really use a hand. [He thinks he's funny. He's not.]

Wildcard, OPEN

[If you have a task you'd really like to do, please hit me with a wildcard prompt! I will not say no to any of the prompts, so live your dreams if you'd so like. You can also PM me or plot with me over at alternatively!]

Closed prompts to be written in the comments!

Comments

[windeity]

Sweet. [And he'll stride up to the counter to alert whoever's working there that he wants to take the Big Bang Burger Challenge. It doesn't take long before he's told to have a seat and they'll bring it out, so he wanders to a table and waits for Daisuke to join him. ]

The fact that it's going to take them at least 15 minutes to make our food both intrigues and alarms me.

[sketchythief]

[ Daisuke goes to join him at the table after the orders have been made and he has a concerned look on his face. ]

Even if they're making two burgers, that would mean it would normally take about 7 minutes, right? Even so, that's a long time...

[ 7 minutes is a long time when he's been working on crunch time at the McD's. ]

[windeity]

Are you suddenly kind of feeling afraid? Because I'm kind of thinking maybe this will be harder than I thought...[What sort of behemoth is about to come before them?]

[sketchythief]

[ Oh no. He feels his somewhat confidence wavering, but he has to stay strong! For himself and John. Though, admittedly.. the nerves might be getting to him eventually. ]

To be honest, I feel like I was already scared, but it should be fine! We'll make it!

[windeity]

I believe in us! Mostly because somebody has to. [There's a grin.

It's not even a full fifteen minutes which is what's surprising. The even more surprising part, however, is that someone comes by with two large, gargantuan burgers that are set in front of John and Daisuke.

...he freezes just a little...and stares.]

Well. Okay. [A glance.] On the count of three?

[sketchythief]

[ The burger also catches Daisuke's attention and he gulps--partly because he's hungry but also because the size is clearly overwhelming. ]


Yeah. [ He nods. ] One, two...

[windeity]

[...stalling...]

...three. [But he picks up the burger and begins to bite into it with gusto. This is maybe going to end poorly, but it's not like he can back out now!]

[sketchythief]

[ On three, Daisuke grabs the burger and gives it a big bite. He should honestly follow his own advice regarding pacing himself, but he's just so hungry and there's a large portion of food right in front of him.

... He'll do his best, but right now, he's chomping away. ]

[windeity]

[Pacing is for chumps!!! Especially this chump who's also not pacing and he's working on biting into his burger. He's eating his way in a circle, chomping down on it to make the burger smaller.

...this is semi-effective.]

[sketchythief]

[ By now, Daisuke has eaten half of the burger. That's not bad for such a short amount of time! Except... he's starting to feel full. Not like this. Not like this! He squints as he stares at the remainder of the burger. ]

Doing this makes me realize... how small of a stomach I have.

[windeity]

[He swallows, pausing for a moment as he eyes the burger with a look of sheer betrayal.]

...maybe we should have trained better...but we can't give up yet!

[sketchythief]

I feel so thirsty... but I can't drink water either. That'll make it worse! Can't give up!

[ Daisuke stares at it as most menacingly as he can (it's not much), before going in for another big bite. And another. And another. Chew, chew, chew. Swallow.

He looks up at the ceiling. ]

Can't... give up...

[windeity]

Just think about all the water you can drink when you finish it...wash away the salty goodness. [This is sad as he works on tearing the burger into smaller bites with his teeth to swallow easier.] We're almost there dude...I believe in us!

[sketchythief]

Almost there...!

[ He looks back down at the burger again and takes smaller bites than before. It's much less to pace himself and more so that he doesn't feel like he's cramming food into his stomach too much.

He eventually arrives at the remainder of a fourth of the burger left to go. What's left of the burger sits on the plate as Daisuke is leaning back into his chair. ]

Five minute rest... Just five minutes.

[windeity]

Five minutes might be five minutes too long. [Just kind of gazing at Daisuke's burger, he finds himself slowing down his chewing again.] ...do they count it against you if you take a break?

[sketchythief]

I think as long as you finish within the time limit, it's fine. It means I can take as many short breaks as I want as long as I finish my burger!

[ He says that, but when he looks over at his burger again, he doesn't feel so good...

He takes another bite anyway. ]

sorry for the delay, feel free to drop this!

[windeity]

I'm not the dude of time...I don't even know how long we have left in the challenge. [But he does pause because...bluh...] ...we can still do this.

it's all good o/

[sketchythief]

[ Daisuke looks at the timer and gestures over to it to so John can see it too. They have several minutes left, which is fine... Usually. But he feels that if he eats any more, he's going to barf.



So clearly, the answer is to finish the rest of the burger. Daisuke's expression is pretty blank as he continues to take bites out of whatever he has left, and he... eventually finishes. He only realizes that he's done once there's nothing left to eat. ]

How are you coming along, John...?

[windeity]

[He doesn't answer right away because as soon as he sees the timer he slows down. Daisuke finishes first and John's working on the last few bites, exaggerated chewing and slowly working before he swallows thickly.

Give him a few moments...

...

...]

...Daisuke? I think I'm dying.

[sketchythief]

No, don't... die...

[ Even though he feels like dying too. But he must stay strong. He must stay awake and not throw up for the sake of both of them!! Just when did this challenge get so dramatic-- ]

You can't die on me, John!!

[ Though it sounds more like a quiet wail. ]

[windeity]

[Trying Their Best: A Daisuke and John story. He's trying not to faceplant into the table as he forces down the last few bites. It's with those words of encouragement though that...he...crams the last bite into his mouth and chews.

Swallowing it down, he waits a few moments before staring ahead of him as though he's wondering just why they chose to do this.]

...did we win? [Both burgers were eaten in the time limit...that's gotta count, he thinks.]

[sketchythief]

We... We did it...

[ Oh my god. Daisuke stares at the table, both plates empty. Nothing is left. He feels so happy, and yet... ]

We did it--

[ He feels sick. ]

[windeity]

[A slow and greasy death...]

...I never want to eat ever again though. But we won? That...counts.

[sketchythief]

We won... but at what cost?

[ Daisuke stays still for a moment. He can't throw this back up. He'd probably get that victory taken away from him if he did. At least, that's what he thinks anyway. ]

... I wonder if I should call someone to pick me up.

[windeity]

Lyft drivers exist, right? But if you puke in the back of their car they might charge you even more. [Mistakes were made.]
