Nesscas Oneshot Haven

The Fabled Bagger War of '21

Lucas stepped into the store, Chaos Foods. Lucas clocked in and stretched his back before walking over to the cash registers. He was not a cashier. No no, he was something MUCH more. Something that not only required more skill but more resilience and bravery. He was.....a bagger. The bravest job in all of humanity.

He got to his position and looked at the cashier. "Hey there, Sora. Anything exciting happen?" Lucas asked.

"What do you think? Without baggers like you and Ness here, it's a boring mess." Ness soon came in and patted Lucas's shoulder. He leaned in and kissed his cheek.

"Beat me this time, eh babe?" Ness asked.

"You know what this means, don't you?" Lucas chuckled with a small wink. Ness rolled his eyes and walked away.

"What was that about?" Sora asked.

"Our rule is that whoever makes it to work first, without being more than 5 minutes early, gets to top the other one."

"Oh, didn't take you for a Switch." Lucas giggled.

"I'm not. But I just love seeing Ness get so....needy if you will. Perhaps we can invite you some time." Sora just blinked a bit before clearing his throat. He looked around and found someone clearly heading toward them.

"Buck up. We've got someone coming." Lucas stood up straight and soon enough the man that was heading their way. Something Lucas loved about this job was the chance to see different people. He loved making up stories inside his head about these different people. This guy was...probably one of the most unique-looking people he ever saw. His skin was purple, it almost looked decomposed. His eyes were lifeless, hair was all but gone. His body was very clearly malnourished and he wasn't even buying real food. He was buying matches, sunscreen, and....butter? Lucas noted the exotic-looking butter he purchased. The man didn't have a shirt and very clearly had a huge hole in his stomach.

"Morning, sir," Lucas said pleasantly. The purple man smiled.

"Hi!" His voice was very...rocky. It wasn't shaky but it was far from being smooth. The man looked and sounded like he should be dead, but he wasn't.

"Sunscreen? Going on vacation?" Lucas asked as he placed the sunscreen in a bag.

"You can say that. I'm going to go find my father."

"Ahh." Lucas finished the bagging and handed him a few bags. The man smiled before bowing his head. He left the store. Lucas looked at Sora. "He was a strange man."

"What's your story about him?" Sora asked.

"I dunno. This is a long shot." Ness appeared at the cash register next to him.

"Well, don't keep us waiting," he said.

"He's a man who had his innards scooped out by an animatronic who's an amalgamation of a few other animatronics which are possessed by souls of dead children while his father is a murderer and he's going to go kill him....but that's just a theory."

"Man. Sounds like it could be a good story for a video game," Ness shrugged.

"I know right?" Sora chuckled. His chuckle subsided though as someone walked into the store. "Oh great." Lucas turned around and saw Porky and Wario step in.

"Hello there, fags. You guys realize that everyone who works in this store is gay, right? You guys could have one big orgy in here," Porky chuckled as he patted Wario's shoulder.

"You would like that, wouldn't you, weirdo?"

"As if." Lucas crossed his arms.

"What do you want, Porky?" Lucas asked.
