So I wanted to do fanart of something and eventually decided on this, but couldn't decide on exactly what to draw. So somebody said "Eating a shark" and here we are now.

It's basically a doodle, but it's a doodle of BS eating a shark so that balances it out.

CC: Better head to your shift!

>Better get to baking.

>Quick, pretend that you were just checking out the wall trim.

CC: Pretend to be examining the wall trim then get to your shift already!

You're already at your shift! While everyone else has to work during the first quarter of eclipse days, your unique schedule lets you sleep in then and gives you the absolute pleasure of serving sugary edibles to hundreds of scaly workers during this shift instead. Not that you don't enjoy baking up awesome confectionery goods, that's actually a lot of fun and almost makes you like this assigned occupation you got thrown into. It's just having to put a price on the pastries of love and churn out thousands of them that really makes your mantle steam.

And the trim is exquisite, you painted it just the other day, and it turned out perfect until this massive wall decided to get in your way and cause you to ruin some of it. You vow to eventually get revenge on this rigid wall at a later time when your boss isn't about to caw your head off.



CC:

> Read label next to missing spatula.

It's a stand for an incredibly strong, and currently misplaced, spatula used to concoct the legendary CARAMOUSEL JAWFUDGER, a cake so supreme, only those with the most oustanding stomach walls can digest it without vomiting. Smith usually orders one every time he comes here.


CC:

> Look and see what today's special is.

You're thinking about having the special for today be ECLIPSECAKES, those are always popular and easy to make. Heck, you made a whole batch of them before you went to sleep yesterday. You have no idea where the magnets you use for this menu are, or even the marker for actually writing what everything and its price, whoops. They'll turn up eventually, you've never really been that organized anyway. Calculating, yes, correlated, never.

Get up.

> CC: Quick, hide!

> Examine Cranium, assess injuries.

CC: Rebalance yourself and check for injuries.

You'll deal with your boss cowardlessly in a moment, you just need to regather yourself after that run-in with a certain obtrusive thick fenestration.

Oh goshdangit, one of your blood packets got caught under your semi-translucent skin at impact. No worries though, your species produce thousands of them that decide to just make themselves more prominent as they course through your body, and this one just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. At least it didn't cut through in an embarrassing pattern, you think.

I'm an absolute settings whore and this is by far the most involved and interesting setting I've seen around these parts.

The beautiful use of color makes me feel like I've gotta step up my game now.

oh my goodness thanks so much. I've always thought the whole environment and everything you've formulated in Songs We Sing is pretty awesome and inspiring itself and just totally incredible, and that coming from you just, wow, thanks!

that is hilarious also, especially that beard on PF :>

Oh, nevermind. You know dang well what your own genitalia looks like and they definitely aren't like that. Not that you'd really spaz out over it though, you've had worse things on your face.

You just wipe off the excess blood on your PAJAMAILLOT for now, the cut will heal itself in no time. Your skin may be soft and frail, but it heals itself faster than you can flip a crepe for an eclipsecake.

Yes, you have pretty much taken care of immediate business, and more importantly, yourself, and you are going to most likely end up flouting her about whatever it is she decided to waltz in here for!!!

TRANSLATIMONY:

save it cook
you know that kissup pretty shit only almost works from your disgustingly cheerful friend next door

Oh please, I could so out-pretty her any day of this flare.
And surely even you, boss.

beauty pageants aside, i'm sure you know why i'm here today

Actually, I have no idea.
Perhaps I'll get a refresher if you buy an eclipsicle fr-

it's evaluation time, you self-absorbed humbug
maybe you remember that agreement way back when?
as part of your sentence here, you must build and maintain a reputable business or be subject to persecution, yadda, yadda, and all that boring paperwork

...Is that a negative on the eclipsicle then?

no those sound pretty good i'll take one
and see if you haven't managed to screw up the simplest part of this test

Terrific, and when does the difficult part happen?

oh right now
no questions asked

Wh-Wait, but I'm not eve-!

FIRST OFF
i'm fairly certain a mat in front of your doorway that says "GO AWAY" will not drive in hungry customers

Oh, like you'd want them either.

hey i'm not the one who...
i can't even think about that awful crime you did
how you managed to take out the entire old communal hall is baffling

Heh, well I am the best at what I do.

well damn straight apparently as that eclipsicle was...mildly delicious
at least you did something right for this time's evaluation
HOWEVER
presently you are not so much as dressed for the job
AND IN ADDITION
your menu isn't even offering a single item for potential customers
how in the world do you expect to keep this job if you don't offer anything up
come on cook i'm not gonna munchkin you through this

Fine, I'll get all that dang métier stuff taken care of.
Are we done here?
I need to tend to more important things pretty soon.

like slacking off?

Possibly.

i still need to check up on your ovens and store inventory
after that you're off the hook
if we can tolerate each other just this once i'll be out of your tentacles or whatever those things are on your scalp 'til the next dusting

Nonono, your accent's all wrong.
These majestic protrusions are tentacolles.

you and your tentacolles better slack on over to those ovens before i wallop those slimy things off with this clipboard

I doubt you could even swat an oxped's rump with that flimsy piece of plastic, boss.

don't tempt me cook

now
can that heattrap bake at temps at least 1 third of the sun's strength

Of course she can handle that, she can totally bake at least 3 times that fireball's weak-sauce temperature.

i didn't ask for your sass cook
i asked for you to test that damned hellroaster

Hey, we use clean and harmless language in this pleasant resta-!

JUST TEST IT YOU SMUG CHARTREUSE PILE OF VEHICLOPEDE DROPPINGS

FINE.

Is this tested enough for you???

COOK DIAL THAT DOWN BEFORE YOU IGNITE MY ENTIRE DISTRICT

What's that, boss???
If you can't stand the heat,
THEN GET OUT OF MY GOSHDANG KITCHEN!

CC:

What just happened?

It looks like your old reliable MILKSHAKE MACHINE finally provided it's last sweet bliss of a hodgepodge of oxped milk, salt-water-frozen ice cream, and the only conceivably correct creamy dessert flavors in the universe as a result of that massive heat wave your ovens were filling the room with. Farewell, noble high-selling supplier of confectionery drinks.

You're fairly sure that's how it finally died anyway, because of the ovens. Yeah, definitely. No doubt about it.

CC: Commence slacking off.

Nah, not yet at least. You need to get this reputable establishment gussied back up first.

Something like that, yes.

There was baked bread everywhere for the next month.



CC:

>Check on your boss! She's uh...still conscious, right?

She couldn't stand the heat apparently, so she got out of your kitchen and off to boss around some other of her district's workers. She'll definitely return later, like she always does. Nobody can resist your swank aquatic charm.

> Cookie: Deploy emergency backup hellroaster

Your heckburners are perfectly fine, but you're going to assume that meant replace the now defunct machine in the corner there, which you were about to do anyway.



Goin' up!



CC: >>>

Woah, not gonna do that again for a bit. Your psionic powers are only charge-based and since you already squandered a long charge escaping your stepsister's wrath, then just ascended a farther distance in the same fashion only several moments later, that really took the dry, citrus-infested air out of your system. This is why you usually save up your charges for emergencies or very important uses only.



CC: >>>

Anyway, you're pretty sure you can find something decent to take the place of that old moneymaker up here.

Turns out that those two huge 675x675 gifs there had to be split from one GIANT gif that Photoshop couldn't handle! Hopefully, this patchup works well enough that it doesn't ruin CC's whole maneuver there. It may be a little out of sync for those of you with slower connection speeds, but I'm guessing that's because browsers load one of them before the other? I dunno, this was pretty much a last-minute job, sorry. :/

Here, have a lobsterbot info sheet.

oh god dat art.

Thanks!

No way, never going to happen. To purposefully desecrate the last remaining support in the prime edification of your brolationship with BS would be like destroying the memory of that first day you came to have this sentenced occupation, when he and a bunch of his coworkers delivered your business-starting supplies. In the midst of contemplating what to do after being assigned this atypical form of community service, you witnessed his odd ability to create cardboard edifications out of midair and hatched one of the first harmless ideas you'd had in a long while. In the end, you and Smith spent all of an entire shift building the most awesome box castle this town has even comprehended, and consequently, you spent time with the first friend you'd ever made.

You mean, not made as in "created like a robot or something" but made as in "gained, or whatever." You know what you mean, yourself. In your own understanding.



CC:

> Salvage poor broken lobsterbot somehow. He looks sad :c

Oh nooo, this little lobsterbot must have gotten itself upstairs somehow and gotten savaged by the creatures that lurk up here. As much as you want to bring this tyke back into this dry world again, you've got to put work business first. You're running short on time before the first customers arrive and you absolutely need find a replacement for the machine downstairs. And although you feel extremely inclined to, you really have no time for slacking off right now.

Crawl through the tube! That looks fun.

CC: Ponder briefly over why you are modeled after an aquatic creature despite not livng anywhere near water.

Because you originate in outer spaaaaaace!!!

Ok, now you're done goofing off.

> Evaluate materials

Court dismissed?

> CC: Don't waste time searching, BUILD a new milkshake machine!

...You know what, that sounds good, I'll have what he's having.

CC: Evaluate the machines and materials.

Well, here are some options.

You could just wheel this almost-exact copy of the milkshake machine downstairs, and continue your obviously thriving business as usual. The 'shakes help to quench customers' thirsts and fill them up enough to keep them from ordering much more else than an eclipsecake. Although, it takes a while for the machine to actually generate enough to fill an average cup.

Or you could try out this ice cream machine you've never even used. From what you can estimate, it looks like it can dish out those swirly confections at 3 times the rate of the milkshake machine, having 3 ports for filling a container rather than 1. However, they wouldn't be as filling as milkshakes would be, but would be much more efficient.

The last option is creating a combination of the machines, or even an entirely new one altogether. It would be remarkably excellent for business, but could take the entire rest of the shift to build if you can't find the parts, risking profit for today.

You have an important business choice to make here.
