[RAM]

Adopt an exaggerated smile and, in an extremely friendly fashion, attempt to purchase exactly three fried eggs and a single strip of bacon.

[Asgarus]

Where is everyone?
You decide to take a seat at the bar.

On the counter, there is a tablet with containers of sugar, salt and pepper on it. There is also a wet towel, but aside from that it's pretty bare.
There are no cupboards, everything's probably stored beneath the counter.

At first you get a weirded out look as you order your fried eggs and coffee in an extremely friendly and exaggerated fashion.
After you assure her that you are indeed quite normal, you begin a little small talk.
You find out that the waitress' name is Minka, Al is the cook and your coffee will be ready in five minutes.

Before you can ask anything else, Al shouts that some meal is ready, and Minka hurries to bring it to one of the other guests.
You can catch a short glimpse on Al through the (I have no idea what that hole in the wall is called^^).
He looks friendly but a bit stressed, probably due to his job combined with his age.


Al

Your coffe is brewing as you can hear Minka talking to the guest as she bring him his meal.

What do you do?

[StrawBarrel]

Check our wallet or wherever our money usually is to see if we can pay for the meal.

[RAM]

What do you do?

Push-ups.

After checking your wallet and realizing that you can easily afford the coffee and eggs (and many more of them should you need to),
you decide to do some push-ups to bridge the remaining minutes until your coffee arrives.


About 3 minutes and 35 push-ups later, you feel refreshed and more fit and ready for whatever life might throw against you - or simply your meal. Just in time, Minka hurries behind the counter and, with a wide smile, brings you your coffee and the eggs Al had just reached through the kitchen-hole-thingy. What perfect timing!

You take the first sip of your coffee - it's quite good, and as you look up again, Minka is gone.

What do you do?

Glance around for where they went, and double check that we are not seeing halucinations by checking the viscosity of our drink with a spoon.

[RAM]

Oooh, that "being gone" thing looks like fun, try it for yourself!

+1.  Practice getting people's attention, then quickly hide behind something when they look away before they look back.

You check your coffee and come to the conclusion that it is, indeed, nothing but normal, tasty, coffee.


You try to "be gone", too, but somehow you have no clue how to do that without, you know, going away.
You also get the silly idea to trick people by quickly hiding behind stuff, but discard it just as quickly.
At that though, though, you take a look behind the counter to see if Minka is hiding there, but nope, she is nowhere to be seen.

And something else is strange... the sounds coming from Al fiddling around in the kitchen stopped, just as his talking to Minka did.
You don't give it another thought for now and take another sip from your coffee.

What do you do?

[crazyabe]

Go behind the counter and look for Al

[RAM]

Sit down, relax, and enjoy the last meal that anyone will ever make for you.

You think about looking for Al, but decide that he is free to go wherever they want, this is his roadhouse after all.
Maybe this thing has a cellar or something.

You relax and take a bite of your meal, a sip of your coffee, and look back over your shoulder to give the other two guests a reassuring smile.

...

...

You are not even surprised anymore to see that they are gone, too. Even though their meals and drinks are still there and obviously barely touched!
You have a plain view on the toilet door and you are pretty sure that it wasn't used by anyone.
You are also sure that no one left the building, because it would ring a loud bell.


As you think about this, you notice something else. The jukebox stopped playing, and as you turn around to check it, you realize that it's gone, too. Is someone playing a trick on you? Some hidden camera show maybe?

You take another sip of your coffe.

What do you do?

[Dustan Hache]

Roll your eyes, and go check your ca-oh wait, it's probably gone too, isn't it?  This is why we should of kept going!

[RAM]

Hrmm, probably hidden camera, very serious, best act normal...

Tabletop Cossack dancing!
