Rod hecked up a little

Who: Rod and you
What: Well... you might be here awhile...
Where: At the transport center
When: Tuesday Morning
Warnings: None atm!



[On Tuesday morning, everyone will receive a letter when they wake up, no matter where they're staying for the night. It's neatly typed and just states:

Please meet me at the Transport Center at 10 AM. I have something important to discuss with everyone.

When they arrive at the center, they will find Rod already there, with a box of envelopes. When he speaks, he looks a little sheepish.]

Good morning everyone, I am deeply sorry to say that whatever is wrong with the portals, it's tricky enough that you might be here for awhile. And after an enlightening conversation with Red, we've decided that we should at least make accommodation's for everyone.

As it is providing a lot of stress on Red to provide free food and board daily, we decided that, for the time being, everyone will live in Vista Way for free. It's a nice apartment complex, but if you are unsatisfied with the housing you may move out once you've accumulated enough money.

On that note, that's what this box is for. While you'll be staying here, we thought it would be best to give everyone a job so they would have something to do. We won't be forcing everyone to have a job, and if you're dissatisfied with the job you were given, we can consider giving you a more appropriate job, but having a wage and something to do while we fix the problem might be nice.

I should add that you're starting pay will be around 15 "Disney dollars" an hour, but if that's an unreasonable minimum wage I am willing to increase the wage to something more livable.

Finally, in each envelope with your assigned job, there's also a couple of Magic Cards in here as an apology for the inconvenience. I ask you not to abuse their power, but you can test them as much as you want while you're here using your Magicband.

If you have any questions regarding the situation, I will be happy to answer them.

[He sets the box down, and true to his word, there are envelopes with each guest's name on it, and inside it is your assigned job, starting date, and two different Magic Cards.]

[Fifteen dollars an hour? That's more than Beaker was ever paid while working at Muppet Labs! Which was not at all!

He goes to open his envelope and inspects the cards he was given. Fire and Genie Lamp? Sounds interesting. Curious, he taps the Genie Lamp card against his wristband and--]


MEEP?!

[--now he's hovering slightly off the ground, his bright orange felt turned into a transparent, blueish color. It seems that he's been turned into a ghost. Meeping in a panicked manner, he descends halfway into the ground, failing to stay afloat for very long. This is fine.]

[looks at the ghostly felt man. looks to envelope. looks to Rod.]

Are the cards supposed to kill us?

[she's beginning to think that the management here isn't. great.]

[Beaker eventually manages to haul himself out of the ground by aggressively swimming upwards through the air. Sure, he's been turned into a ghost before, but that's not something he wants right now. He beings angrily meeping at this Rod Serling fellow.]

Meep meemiimeep MEEPMOO meep meemii!
beakie: (meemee)

...Meep.

[Beaker lightly taps the card against his Magicband, and the color is restored to his felt. He hangs in the air for a brief moment before being dropped onto the ground. Why does this keep happening to him.

He slowly gets on his feet, giving a shaky thumbs up. Well, at least this day can't possibly get any worse, right?]


Meemii.

Wouldn't turning into a ghost the same thing as dying though?
