The Great TV Tropes Road Trip

I take one of the regular, non-petri dish burgers, and chow down like my life depends on it. Which it does. Because I have lost a LOT of blood today.

Zanreo grabs a burger and starts eating. "Mmmm... this is great!"

"Truly America is the greatest country in the world."

Bale opened his mouth and launched a tongue with a sharp end to grab one of the burgers and eat it in one bite.

Mmm, delicious!

My eyes widen but I look away from Bale, pretending I didn't just see that.

The construction worker just looked happy, "Thank you for visiting the burger factory, please return another time!" He said before wandering to the storage-house to sort out the wares, "Now it is almost time for my break, time for a cuppa coffee, and also a doughnut." He munches on a cinnamon doughnut...

Steph would be eating from a huge pile of hamburgers, one burger at a time

"Huh," says Puma. "This is actually going pretty well for once."

He keeps eating, but suddenly stops.

"Wait. Where's Smooth Boi?"

Puma looks around frantically, suddenly spotting Smooth Boi on a beam above some of the factory machines.

"SMOOTH BOI!"

Puma runs over, frantically trying to find something to help him climb up there.

"Oh no!" says Bluethorn. "Smooth Boi, just stay right there! We're going to get you back down!

He turns to the rest of the group. "We've got to get up there! Is there a ladder or something here?"

Mr. Godzilla peaked out his head and asked the employee about the burgers.

You got any zucchini and carrot burgers with some chive? And pizza dough bread?

"We could always climb the conveyor belts," I point.

"Or steal a cow and have it carry us up there."

"Actually, even if we don't use it for this, can we steal a cow? Please, please?"

(hes in the van)

“That’s your solution to everything. Steal a cow. It’s not gonna happen!”

"Says the guy who wanted to rob that old man of his rubber band ball and when i was just about to purchase it legitimately! Or have you forgotten it's your fault I nearly died?"

Scoffing, I pick another hamburger off the conveyor belt and scarf it down in a matter of seconds.

What's so bad about stealing?

Bale then grabbed 2 more burgers from the conveyor belt with his tongue and began eating them.

“It nearly got us killed!”

Taco added, as he started eating burgers.

“After literally got shot because Tales had to pull a gun on the old man. We were gonna get the rubber band ball for fifty dollars, but noooooo.”

"Fifty dollars, man. That's a steal! Not literally though, that's what you tried to do."

... Alright, that's a good point.

Wm, meanwhile, has taken a break from making ill-advised knockoff press "badges" to sit in a bumper car (which, remember, was also stolen). He has his typewriter.

For some reason, the topic of theft is on my mind. While that coward Boss backed out of a perfectly legitimate deal due to some not-legally-binding panicking on my part, a fair amount of my cohorts stole a veritable fuckload of shit from the park. We have, as of typing, a tacky mascot costume, a bench that our mechanic went for a ride on, a stuffed mascot toy, and, most visibly, a caravan of bumper cars behind us. Maybe I do own the park after all, and Boss is just fuming in delusional smugness. Maybe we're just a wanted poster waiting to happen. Regardless, I think it's amazing how much you can get away with if enough of you are gutsy enough to all do it; we haven't been arrested yet!

As Taco says this, Puma is climbing up the conveyer belts to reach Smooth Boi. Right after Taco mentions that they almost died, Puma is trying to climb onto a low beam, dangling pretty close to a giant meat grinder.

"Oh god, Puma watch out!!!!" I exclaim, pointing to the meat grinder beneath his feet.

"Don't worry, I'll be okay!" says Puma. After struggling a little more, he finally gets up onto the low beam, then looks for something else to climb up on.

TBH, I'm not too sure where I'm going with this. I feel like something should go wrong, but I don't know how to do that without killing/maiming myself or my cat, and we've already had After shot. And I am not letting anything happen to the cat. :P

How about dropping an object on the grinder, making it malfunction?

PUMA NO, STOP THAT FOOLISH MAD DECISION!

"Where do you turn off the meat grinder?!" asks Bluethorn in a panic.

Steph watches with wide and fearful eyes the events transpiring before her eyes. "Oh no, I hope the construction worker doesn't come back..."

The construction worker would be on his lunch-break, scarfing a few more doughnuts and sandwiches down...

"But my cat!" Puma says to Bale.

Finally, Puma reaches the top beam where Smooth Boi is.

"Smooth Boi!" Puma hugs his cat. "You dumb cat. Don't ever run off like that again. Come on now, let's get back-"

Puma looks down. The sheer height is bad enough, but making things worse is the fact that he's right above the conveyer belts leading to the grinders.

"Uh... uh! Guys, I need help!"
