"Gacha..?"
Curious, Hisoka walked over to the gumball machine and inserted .1 points.
"By the way Bogota...can I still fold pizza boxes?"

“Yeah, you can fold pizza boxes. That’s the best way to show your worth, after all,” Bogota says over a sound system in the cabin basement.
Hisoka plays the gacha machine one time:
Result: 45/100
Prize: Nothing

"Aw...hey, you know, I can just keep folding boxes, and eventually, I should win the gacha, right?"
He says that as he submits another pizza box, and inserts another point into the gacha machine. A gambling addiction was being formed, surely.

Hisoka plays it again.
Result: 9
Prize: Nothing
“Sure if you want to throw ten dollars down the toilet.” Bogota then plays a flushing sound off of a soundboard.

“Look man, there’s only one-fifth of a chance of victory,” Bogota says, trying to be gentle. “There are only a hundred balls in there as well.”

"...Guess I gotta work on getting another tenth of a point," Hisoka said, determined to win the gacha. He went ahead and folded another pizza box, concentrating really hard while doing so.

“You got it,” Bogota says, watching Hisoka fold boxes.
“… So how did you get uh… good with the puppets?”

"Ah...are you trying to bond with me? Isn't that like...a conflict of interest?"
He folded another box. This was slave labor...
"But you keep forgetting...I'm not actually a good ventriloquist," Hisoka said, stubborn as ever. "Because Milk and Lotus are alive...well, I guess they're dead now, actually..."

“It’s not a conflict of interest. The fans don’t care what’s fair, as long as it’s entertaining. I mean, between you and me, getting sent into the basement is doing wild things for your popularity, and Jackson’s of course.” Bogota says discreetly.
“What do you mean you’re not a ventriloquist? You mean if you found some other sock you couldn’t make it talk?” Seems like Bogota is rather distracted by all this.

"Well, maybe I could, back in the day," Hisoka frowned. "...But when Milk and Lotus came, there was no need to practice my skills anymore...since they could talk on their own."
Another pizza box!

“How did they uh… show up?” Bogota sounds a little worried. “Like I mean, they just appeared?”
There’s a pause, “Wow you’re doing good. Hungry Howie’s is giving us mad kickback if this keeps up!”

"The vessel for Milk and Lotus' souls was already there," Hisoka smiled, speaking ominously as he folded another pizza box. "But yes...you can say they just appeared. That's how it would seem, since one day, they were able to speak to me...and soon after, they were able to speak with others."
Hisoka chuckled a bit, reminiscing about something in the past. "Why do you sound so alarmed..? Milk and Lotus are gentle souls. I'm sure you would love them if you got to know them...Lotus in particular seemed rather fond of you. Is that romance I see on the horizon..?"

"Oh me? I'm nothing special. I'm also like 30 years old," Bogota says, slightly embarrassed. "Although the fans love a good showmance to ship! Would it be Botus or Lobota?"

"Who...who are they?" Hisoka asked, not understanding the concept of ship names.

“Sorry, see when two characters on your favorite show become a romance, you name that romance so that you can ship it! For example, Ava and Eleven would be Avaven! See?” Bogota says, trying to say it slowly. “You should be really image conscious since you’re the big underdog here.”

Ding!
“Uh oh, seems we need a weather report and a used camera for Felix,” Bogota says as the order comes in. “I don’t know how we get the camera to be used, but that’s your problem now.”

See?” Bogota says, trying to say it slowly. “You should be really image conscious since you’re the big underdog here.” "I thought I was fairly popular...I had a lot of points." Hisoka takes note of the order. "I don't see how we could give Felix a weather report...just tell him it will be sunny and hopefully it doesn't rain." As for the camera, Hisoka has an idea. He takes a camera and throws it violently against the wall, denting it profusely. He doesn't bother to check whether or not the camera is functional or not.

Hisoka delivers the items. “Great work! We’ll call that, two points. Don’t spend them all in one place!” Bogota says happily.

"I'm not even sure what I'd buy...do you think I should buy more gacha pulls?"
Hisoka lost track of how many pizza boxes he had folded, but it was inefficient to not make one every time.

“Look, you can’t cave and buy food yet! Invest! Maybe you could buy some stocks? Although I won’t let you sell them until after the game…” Bogota trails off.
“Say, what do you feel like would improve yourself the most?”

"Hmm..? Oh, I don't know...I was thinking of buying a bed...or maybe a small closet to sleep in..."

“Geez, that’s so boring! You should buy a self help book!”
Bogota pauses, “I mean, look bud, you know more than I do about all this. If you want a sleeping bag, I’ll let you have it for .99 points.”

"...Oh, but I asked for a small closet," Hisoka sighed, shaking his head. "Never mind, then. I can just sleep on the floor."
Hisoka wandered over to the narrow passageway, looking into the distance.
"Hey, Bogota, what's down here..? Is this something I can explore?"

“I can’t tell you unless you pay, or you can go down it and just live with the consequences.”
Bogota clears his throat, “if you want a closet, maybe that’s .7 points?”

Post by pancakes on Sept 22, 2023 6:39:50 GMT
"...Ah, that's right. We can ask about things for .1 points. Then...I'll go ahead and ask, what's down this passageway?"
Hisoka paused. "And yes, I'll take that closet, please...and a pillow, if possible."

“Cha-Ching!”
“Wow I’m such a good salesman!” Bogota says as he deducts .8 points.
A little clothes closet is pushed through the shop gap as parts back in the room under the manor.
“Okay so that passageway has multiple endings. One has a key, but others have nothing.”

"...I see. Some sort of maze..?"
Hisoka peered down the passageway.
"Maybe I'll give it a go...but first..."
He climbed into the closet, getting nice and cozy. "I think I'll take a nap...actually, do robots need naps..?"

“They need sleep, of course! You need time to catch up on your robotabolism!”
After a while…
“Hey! There’s a new order for three small cameras that can be used to spy around!” Bogota says cheerfully.

"...Rebooting, rebooting," beeped Hisoka from the closet. "That was a joke, by the way...I'm on it."
Hisoka began to prepare the order. "Hey...what are these cameras for? They sound suspicious...what if we don't fill this order?"
