Another Fun Hearthstone Exercise: Eidolon at the McDonald's Drive-Thru

[jpholding]

I finished a scene from ST #2 pages 10-11 where we get a glimpse into how Eidolon views modern technology -- it often befuddles him, and he views it overall with contempt. But he always does find a way to beat it in the end when it is used against him.

So here's a fun project: Write me a story of Eidolon ordering at the Mickey D's drive thru window and getting suitably frustrated. The best story will be turned into a mini-comic. Deadline will be April 1 (of course).

'fraid I'm gonna sit this one out. I still need to figure out what I did with my pencil then draw that titan Bimf.

Not there. :tongue:

If you saw my room you'd understand why I have difficulty finding it. :lol:

[JSDileo]

NOOOOO!!!

I had a big long thing written in the "Post Quick Reply" box, but when I clicked the backspace button it moved my page back and got rid of my story! Darn it!

For long messages I always do it in Word first and save it. :thumb:

Hmmm.... not quite my style. :ahem: But it sure sounds interesting...

My sister did this one:

Machine: May I take your order?
Eidolon: ?! Is this where I can get something to eat?
Machine: Dude, what d'you think this is, an ATM machine?
Eidolon: ... I don't think so...
Machine: Well, then order already!
Eidolon: What kind of food do you sell here?
Machine: #$&@!... I don't know, just check the giant signs around the building!!!
Other employee: Remember Jack, be nice to the customer!
Machine: Oh, all right... we have chicken burgers, cheese burgers, double cheese burgers, Quarter Pounders, McNuggets, stuffs like that.
Eidolon: There is a difference? They are all made of chicken, are they not?
Machine: OF COURSE THERE IS A DIFFERENCE!!! IF THERE WASN'T, I WOULDN'T BE SITTING HERE TAKING ORDERS FROM IDIOTS LIKE YOU!!!
Manager: What's that, Jack?
Machine: Oh, um... nothing... ggghhh... If you can't make up your mind, may I suggest you just get 12 McNuggets.
Eidolon: All right. (McNuggets... what sort of a name is that?)
Machine: FINALLY!!! Oh, um... move along and pay up at the next counter.
Eidolon: *drives to next counter*
Jack: Here's your McNuggets, and that'll be $10.00. Please DON'T come again...

Hmm. I think at this point Eidolon would probably have called down fire from heaven in the shape of chickens. :lol:

My little bro (Toa of Justice) sent me one --



Eidolon: Do you have anything without grease in it?
Person behind mic: Sorry, no.
Eidolon: I wonder how you humans survive by consuming all that unhealthy food.
Person behind mic: What?
Eidolon: I said, HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE EVEN AFTER EATING TONS OF FAT?
Person behind mic: I don't eat fat, but I can see a bunch of people behind you that want to.
You're holding up the line.
Eidolon: *turns around to talk to the people in line* HEY! GO EAT AT THE CHIK-FIL-A 5 BLOCKS
AWAY INSTEAD! THEY'RE MUCH HEALTHIER, AND TASTIER TOO!
Person behind mic: Stop trying to discourage those who want to be unhealthy!
Eidolon: FORGET YOU!
Person behind mic: *gets hit with one of Shelia's 'rangs* OUCH!
Eidolon *making a face at the person behind the mic* : Ha Ha, greasemonger!
Person in line: Hey everyone, let's go to CHIK-FIL-A!
People in line: *drive away*

Eidolon: *walks up to machine* "Hello?"
Woman: "Yes, may I help you?"
Eidolon: "Yes. A friend of mine told me that I could get a delicious meal here. He said that it's called a 'whopper'. Could I have a whopper?"
Woman: "Sorry, sir, BurgerKing serves that."
Eidolon: "What's a burger king?"
Woman: *sighs* It's a restaurant, SIR, now take your order.
Eidolon: "What food do you have?"
Woman: "Look at the menu."
Eidolon: "What menu?"
Woman: "Like, the one in front of you!"
Eidolon: "Oh"

*five minutes later*

Man in hovercraft behind Eidolon: "HURRY UP YOU *%$%@! I'll run you over!! You hear me you *%)@#! I'm gonna kill you!"
Eidolon: "Be quiet!"
Woman: "SIR, take your order, NOW!"
Eidolon: "Is any of your food manufactured?"
Woman: "Like, what in the world are you talking about?"
Eidolon: "Knowing people these day's they probably make burgers on assembly lines."
Woman: "No, sir, we don't make them on assembly lines."
Man in hovercraft: HURRY UP! I'M GONNA CALL THE POLICE!"
Eidolon: "I'm beginning to wish I was mortal again. Otherwise I wouldn't have to deal with the STUPIDITY of this generation!!"
Woman: "Did you just call me stupid?"
Eidolon: "NO!, I'll have a BIGMAC!"
Woman: "Would you like a drink with that? OH DARN IT!"

*twenty minutes later*

Eidolon: "What's the difference between a Pepsi and a Dr. Pepper?"
Woman: "Just CHOOSE ONE ALREADY!"
Eidolon: "FINE THEN!! YOU STUPID WOMAN! I'LL HAVE A PEPSI!"
Woman: "Thank you, M'kai!" *sigh* "That'll be $5.42"
Eidolon: "Can I barter instead?"
Woman: "NO"

*Eidolon Walks Up to Register Where They Give People the Food*

Eidolon: "Here's your money."
Woman at the counter: "Why aren't you in a hovercraft?"
Eidolon: "What do you mean?"
Woman: "Sir, this is a drivethrough, that means that you have to drive through it to get to the food."
Eidolon: "I don't like technology."
Man in Hovercraft behind Eidolon: "THAT'S IT, I'M CALLING THE POLICE!" *takes out cell phone*
Eidolon: "Aah!" *launches energy beam at the man's cell phone*
Man: "Dude! What the heck!"
Eidolon: *looks at woman behind counter* "Here's your money." *Eidolon gives her six dollars*
Woman: "Thank you. Here's your food. And your change is..."
Eidolon: "Don't use your technology. Do it in your head."

*Fifteen minutes later*

Eidolon: "OK! USE YOUR STUPID, IDIOTIC, MORONIC TECHNOLOGY! Aah!"
Woman: "Stop screaming at me!"
Eidolon: "Stop being an idiot!"
Woman: "Stop insulting me!"
Eidolon: "Just give me my change!"
Woman: "STOP SCREAMING AT ME!"
Eidolon: "You IDIOT! You can't do ANYTHING! This entire RESTAURANT can't do anything! I hate this time period!"
Woman: *begins crying*: "I, I'm n-not s-st-stup-stupid..."
Eidolon: *Pupils shrink* *screams really loud* "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" *runs away*

:lmbo:

On that one, I think *I* can go safely eat lunch now. Not at the drive thru. I have leftover pasta.

Eidolon: "A curse on the children of this generation and their 'microwaves'."

I changed it a tiny bit:

The bold part is what I added:

Eidolon:(walking up to drivethrough thinking) Ah! I hate when people make me do stuff I don't want to do. I never ordered from these cursed places that they call 'rest-a-raunts' since they had them. (walks up through drivethrough)
Man talking through Speaker: Welcome to McDonald's can I take your' order?
Eidolon: (Jumps out of thought startled by loud noise of speaker, and looks around) Who was that? I demand to know!
Man on Speaker: Sir, I aksed can I take your' order?
Eidolon: (notices that sound is coming out of the speaker, starts thinking) Strange it appears the sound is coming from this box. (Walks up to it menu sign) Did you just speak to me?
Man on Speaker: Uh, sir, you still there? May I take your' order?
Eidolon: It appears that this foul machine is trying to talk to me, but I can not make out what it is saying?
Cashier: (Hearing Edilon) Oh (tries to fix the frequency of his microphone) I asked sir, if I can take your' order?
Eidolon: "Can I take your order?" Of course, why else would I be talking to a blasted machine such as yourself, if I wasn't going to order something! (looks at the menu sign) What is with all of this strange looking food on your' sign?
Cashier: Uh...
Eidolon: A double quarter pounder? If my calculations of your weight system are correct, that would make it a half pounder, yes?
Cashier: Uh, yeah.
Eidolon: What is this strange pound of something of anyway?
Cashier: You mean what are our ingredients? Well it's two buns, and two quarter pounds of beef. We usually put tomato, lettuce, ketchup, and mustard on it, and onions and pickles if that's you want.
Eidolon: Beef? What is that? Isn't that cow? You sell a pound of cow, between two buns! Strange! Well, I guesse I'll order this (pushes picture of a fish sandwich on menu)
Cashier: Uh, Yeah so you are going to get a double quarter pounder?
Eidolon: I just pushed in what I wanted to get. Did you not see me?
Cashier: Uh, no sorry, but I didn't
Eidolon: How can you not see me, you knew that I walked up here, didn't you? If not you wouldn't have asked for my order. Where are your' eyes anyway? (looks around)
Cashier: Uh, we have a camera
Eidolon: (looks at camera on top of the menu sign) Oh, I see. I saw these things before. (Pulls camera off of the top of the sign and points it to the picture of the fish sandwich)
Cashier: Sir, Did you just pull our camera off of the sign?
Eidolon: Yes, I pulled it to where you can see what I want. What is wrong with that?
Cashier: For one, you just damaged property that doesn't belong to you. That's a violoation, and can get you arrested.
Eidolon: How are you damaged, and why do you keep speaking of yourself as though you are more than one machine?! I just see one of you. Do you possess more than one personality?
Cashier: Uh, I hope you know your' not really talking to a machine, don't you? I'm a real person inside of the restaraunt.
Eidolon: (Shrugs) You never know these days. So, I have to tell you what I want?
Cashier: Yes, of course that is what these things are for. You didn't actually think we would just know what you wanted did you?
Eidolon: Well I pushed the picture of what I wanted, and you didn't know.
Cashier: That's not how it works, you have to tell us what you want, as in telling us with your' mouth.
Eidolon: Okay, since you are a person inside of the building, I want you to come out here so I can tell you.
Cashier: (Nervous) I can't do that...
Eidolon: And why not?! I demand you to.
Cashier: You can come in here, and tell us what you want though. Uh, somebody else that is.
Eidolon: (Smacks himself up beside the head) Why didn't I think of that before?! (Frustrated turns to the speaker box) Well this blasted thing is of no use (Shoots energy rays towards it and blows it up) This is the last time I come out to order for anybody (Walks away)
