Today in Unisberg the weather was at its finest in the winter months, a subtle chill that tickles the sun's kiss upon the people. Dressed in light winter wear, the people roamed the streets and facilities to take full advantage of the circumstances. To no surprise, the Heroic spirits of the Masters are no different.

"Welcome to Come n Go, how may I take your order?" Newly grad Keith Densely happily chimed the restaurant's signature greeting with precision through his thin lips and narrowed jaw. He'd rehearse this line every shift he had several times before entering the building and assuming his role.

Keith was a treasure to the city, and the one who all the teachers rave about, save the football coach, and even then his soft smile and well tempered demeanor made it hard to dislike him. The future was bright for Keith, and with his new position as a manager of one of, if not the best fast food chains, was just one more step to his dream of being Come n Go's CEO.

Ring-ling.

"Christie, you can go ahead and clock out," Keith says coming around the back end of the building.

"O-oh ok, thank you Mr. Keith," Christie, a long time worker, graciously says leaving her post.

"Hello, welcome to Come n Go, how may I take your order?" Keith asks the customer approaching the counter.

Artoria stands there looking at the menu with her generally callous yet inviting blank stare.

Ring-ling.

"Welcome to Come n Go!" The other employees on the floor call out, while Keith is occupied.

"Mhm. I would like to try something new," she ponders, stealing a glance at the employee's name tag," Sir Keith of this establishment, what is your recommendation?"

"Sir... ahem, well let's see I personally alway recommend the classic burger, especially to those new to our services," Keith said this with utmost confidence, he had rehearsed for this very situation.

Artoria," That will not do, I am no stranger to the classic burger, how is your Cowboy Ranch?"

This was to be accounted for, with customers who turn down the first recommendation Keith already had a special card just in case. Now was the time more than ever, seeing that another customer was now waiting, he would have to move at a faster speed while maintaining suitable customer service. This was in a sense him going into his final phase, the peak Come n Go employee.

"The Cowboy Ranch burger is our boldly flavored option for those who prefer a little more spice on their patties, if you want to switch it up, then the hig--'

"Ugh, cease the rambling and give the tot a burger already."

Keith looks around the turning Artoria in disbelief at the fact that for the first time ever, he received a customer complaint. Unluckily for him, it was Jalter standing there with a thuggish demeanor in her casual attire she'd wear around the city.

"I apologize ma'am, I'll hav--"

"Huh, ma'am?! Do I look like some granny to you? Get your damn eyes fixed, quit yappin' to me and take her order."

Artoria,"Mrs I believe you are the third Master's servant? Your uncouth self is not appreciated, as so--"

"Agh, quit the bitching and order, shortcake," Jalter rolls her eyes and wags her hand.

"Um, pardon me miss, but this gentleman can take your order," Keith tells Jalter in a suggestive manner while motioning over to Avery, a stout boy with an agreeable child-like face.

"Like hell if I'll talk to that big baby, I want to boss you around heh," Jalter sneers, her eyes winced like a predator savoring it's prey.

"It appears you will not back down, if I am not mistaken, you are quite strong, let us all take this outside and settle this dispute with a bout," Artoria suggests.
