5th Smile

[keep_smiling]

[Action A: Maybe you work at the used car lot, or maybe you're just passing by. Either way, something is very noticeable about it: it's empty. Or rather, there's one car left, and standing in front of it is a drone couple, and a blonde man with a name tag - obviously an employee. The men shake hands and then the smiling couple get in the car and drive off in their beautiful new 195X Nash Rambler. The employee waves them off, a huge grin on his face.]

Enjoy! That car is guaranteed to put a smile on your face for a long time!

[Seems like the Smile Junkie speaks the drones' language. Elmer has managed to sell every car in the damned lot. He looks at the empty lot, satisfied. Of course, Mayfield will restock it in a day or so, but he doesn't know that.]

Okay then, I guess I'm done for the day.

[Action B: Time to share the wealth. Elmer walks into the diner and announces to everyone:]

Oi! Lunch is on me! Order whatever you like, I've got it covered. So smile, okay?

It's so generous of you. [He smiles cheerfully at him.]

My name's Ebony.

[keep_smiling]

I figure we've already got all the comforts people need here, so I don't really need to keep the money. It doesn't mean much.

I'm Elmer!

[swineprince]

It's nice to meet you. Gosh, this place has been such a whirlwind of new faces, you know?

[keep_smiling]

Well, everyone's new to me, so I suppose you're correct. Just got here a few weeks ago, myself.

[swineprince]

Oh! Me too! How do you like this town?

[keep_smiling]

You know, it's not nearly as bad as people here make it out to be. Of course, I would like to leave at some point, but truth be told, I've been in worse spots than this, and made it out just fine. What about you?

[swineprince]

I'm not sure. I miss home. I miss my family.

[keep_smiling]

Make sense. But what about otherwise? What about your "new" family and all that?

[swineprince]

Well... It's different... My "dad" is an angel. I'd never met an angel before.

[keep_smiling]

An angel? Is that what he claims? Hmm. You can never really be too sure who you'll meet in this town.

[swineprince]

He has wings and everything! They're so pretty and white and he's got such gentle eyes. If he isn't an angel, then I don't know what is.

[keep_smiling]

Really! Well now I want to meet him. I can honestly say I never met an angel before. I do know a demon, though!

[swineprince]

Well, I'd say you know two. I'm a demon.

[keep_smiling]

Yeah? Haha, I suppose I should have guessed, eh? You don't look much like the one I know, maybe that's why. If he's got a tail, he's been hiding it really well.

[swineprince]

Well... We all kind of look different in my world. But we all have pointy ears and the cat eyes.

sorry for the delay! ><

[keep_smiling]

Maybe you're not even the same place. Who knows how many places have demons in them.

No worries, darlin'!

[swineprince]

Probably a lot.
