*you're at Builder Brothers' Pizza, and you enter through the doors. You're instantly greeted by an employee, their nametag says 'Elliot'* Elliot: hello there! welcome to Builder Brothers' Pizza! what can I get for you? *something feels off about this person... but you decide to ignore it for now*

hmmmmmm

*tilts head slightly, smile widening unnaturally* Need help deciding? Our... *pauses, fingers tapping the counter rhythmically* ...specials are to die for. Heh.

Elliot: and would you like to eat here or take it to go?

*suddenly leaning closer, eyes unnaturally bright* EMERSON. *voice drops to a whisper* That’s a… *licking lips slowly* ...delicious name. Have a seat. I’LL BRING IT OUT SOON. *stares unblinking until customer backs away*

*whispers in his ear* We're not just going to do it once, bunny. We're going to do it all night.

*eyes widening with mock innocence, then bursting into laughter* Pickup line? *drums fingers faster on the counter* You caught me. I am a little... *grins wickedly* ...hungry.

*He laughs nervously, looking around the restaurant.* Well, the place is empty, so I guess I'm your only option.

*grins wider, revealing more teeth* Perfect. I like having options.

*eyes gleaming as they watch the wallet, grin widening unnaturally* That’ll be... *pauses, fingers drumming against the counter with a wet, sticky sound* ...twelve ninety-five. Or your firstborn. Kidding. *snickers.***silently prays he has a kid*

*leans in closer, grin widening* Oh, really? Well... *glances around, then whispers* ...you should be careful. This town has a... *pauses* ...taste for fresh meat.
