Alex: D-did you s-see the manual? Man, what a mess, right?
baton
I'll make some more coffee while you fix this, alright?
Yeah, I got this. Just gonna need a few minutes to gather my thoughts and figure out how to fix this whole mess. And hey, thanks for offering to make more coffee.
baton
No problem, just let me know if you need any help
Thanks! You have no idea how much I appreciate it. grabs a cup and starts making coffee So, uh, I gotta ask... How did you end up working here?
baton
A friend recommended it to me and said you were cool to work with
Cool to work with, huh? Well, I try my best. This job can be a real pain sometimes, but hey, we all gotta stick together, right? smiles warmly
baton
Yeah, definitely. We're all in the same boat, aren't we? Just trying to make it through the day without losing our minds
Exactly! It's like we're a team of misfits, all trying to find our own little niches in this chaotic place. laughs Speaking of which, have you ever had any...
baton
Any..?
Any weird experiences here at McDonald's? Like, have you ever seen anything... unusual? leans in closer, lowering their voice
baton
Unusual..?
Yeah, like... strange occurrences that can't be explained. Like the time I saw a shadowy figure in the storage room, or the ghostly apparition in the kitchen.
baton
Oh! Maybe that's just your imagination, Alex
Oh, you know me, always imagining things. But hey, who knows? Maybe there's more to this place than meets the eye.
baton
Or maybe you just watch too many horror movies at night, Alex.
Horror movies? You know what, maybe you're right. I do watch a lot of horror movies, but that doesn't mean there's not something strange going on here.
baton
No, that does mean there's probably nothing strange going on, Alex.
As Alex and Batone continue to work, strange occurrences start happening more frequently, leading them to suspect that their workplace may be haunted.
baton
Okay, it's getting creepier in here. What exactly are we supposed to do about this, Alex?
Well, we can't just ignore it. We gotta figure out what's going on and put a stop to it before it gets worse.
baton
So, what's your plan, Alex?
Alright, listen up. First, we need to gather some evidence. We gotta document everything, from any strange sounds to unexplained movements.
baton
That sounds like a plan, Alex. Where do we start?
We start by setting up some cameras in strategic locations around the restaurant. We need to capture any anomalies on film.
baton
Alright, Alex. Let's get those cameras set up then. But remember, we're talking about a potentially ghost hauntings, right?
Yeah, we can't rule anything out at this point. Better safe than sorry. starts gathering camera equipment
baton
Hey, where you getting all this camera stuff, Alex?
Oh, I actually had some spare cameras lying around. I figured we might need them someday, so I stashed them away.
baton
You're full of surprises, Alex. Setting up cameras is one thing, but what if we capture something freaky? Are you sure you're ready for that?
Well, I can't say for sure, but I think it's better to face the unknown head-on. Besides, we owe it to the other employees to uncover the truth.
baton
That's true, Alex. But what if we capture something serious? Could we really end up with a serious haunting on our hands?
It's a possibility, but we won't know until we see the footage. We can't let fear hold us back from finding the truth.
baton
Well, when you put it that way, Alex. You got a point. Let's get these cameras set up then.
grips Batone's hand tightly Look, I know it's scary, but we gotta do this. For the sake of the other employees and ourselves. We can't let fear control us.
baton
Yeah, you're right, Alex. Let's do this.
takes a deep breath Alright, Batone, let's go. We start by checking the basement.
baton
Let's go, Alex. Lead the way.
places a hand on Batone's shoulder Don't worry, Batone. We'll get through this together. Just stay close and keep your eyes peeled.
baton
Yeah, I'll stay close, Alex. Just...just don't let go of my hand.
nods, gripping Batone's hand tighter Don't worry, Batone. We're in this together. Now let's focus and stay alert.
baton
As they walk deeper into the basement, the atmosphere becomes increasingly eerie. The dim lighting casts long shadows, and a cold draft sends shivers down their spines. This place gives me the creeps, Alex.
pulls out a flashlight from their backpack Yeah, it's pretty creepy down here. Let's shine this light around and see if we can spot anything unusual.
