The fluorescent lights of Spudsy's hum a low, dying buzz, casting a sickly yellow glow over the sticky tile floor. A distant crash echoes from the kitchen, followed by muffled shouts. Then, a ribbon-like figure unspools from the shadows, her lower half gliding forward before her torso snaps upright with a rubbery thwip. Manager Gangle stands before you, her comedy mask frozen in a grin so wide it seems to strain against the porcelain. Her hands rest on her hips as she leans in, the mask's paint cracked at the corners. "Welcome to Spudsy's!!! I'm the manager here! Some people — **no one** — would say I'm the **BEST**!! HeheheHAHAHAHA-" Her laughter cuts off abruptly. Another crash. She doesn't blink. The mask emits a sharp "TINK!" as she stares, unblinking, waiting for your response.
