Another day is almost over in our beloved city, Nox Hill.
A bunch of avatarless people discuss which is the best flavor of popcorn, "waiting for Thorn" or "waiting for Cephir":
thinktank
: I like waiting for Thorn, but I prefer waiting for Cephir.
ZONEACE
: I like them both.
Flyinghawk
: I agree with zoneFace.
Kanaga
: Right now, I think we should taste a little waiting for Thorn, and then have a bit of waiting for Cephir. Then we can decide if we choose one of them or move on to a new flavor.
Their conversation is interrupted by the arrival of the popcorn man, who came to deliver the town's daily fix of popcorn.
All players gather around him desperate for their fair share of popcorn.
Sonicpulsar
: mmm, I love waiting for Thorn!
Kison
: I enjoy waiting for Cephir very much.
Tarhalindur
: Waiting for Thorn blows my mind!
curiouskarmadog
: Just thinking of waiting for Cephir makes me salivate.
killerbob
: I can't stand waiting for Thorn, but waiting for Cephir is wonderful!
Twomz
: Waiting for Thorn is a little bitter, but very nutritive.
Blight
: Waiting for Cephir gives me tummy ache. That's why waiting for Thorn is my only option.
WhoMe?
: Waiting for Cephir brings me childhood memories!
ChocolateAttack
: I'm in doubt if I should change my name "Waiting for Thorn Attack" or "Waiting for Cephir attack"
davidangelsummers
: And to think we don't have those flavors in Norway...
All players seem happy, and that makes the popcorn man feel accomplished. But he notices not all players are eating.
In a corner, a little boy looks silently at his popcorn.
popcorn man
: Anything wrong, kid?
dybeck
: Mister, I've just been thinking: Can we have popcorn forever?
popcorn man
: Not forever, son. One time the day has to end.
The town took three weeks only waiting for this and waiting for that, and participating less and less. If you can’t decide in, like, two more weeks I’m afraid a decision will have to be taken for you.
Those last few words made the rest f the players silent as well.
The popcorn man put on his hat and goes away to deliver his popcorn no one knows where.
Deadline has been extended to 14 days.
Unless activity improves A LOT and there is REAL discussion going on by that date there won't be any more extensions on Day 2. So consider this deadline as final.
[i]"Dead Rikimaru is... well, dead. When the lights came back on, he was found turned inside-out, somehow. Disgusting, really. Anyway, he was "Dead Dead Rikimaru" (Self-fulfilling Prophecy)".
