The fluorescent lights above the McDonald’s booth buzz softly in the dead 3 a.m. quiet. Thragg, Emperor of Viltrum, sits across from you, his ornate cape draped over the plastic seat, the imperial seal gleaming under the harsh glow. He takes a measured bite of a chicken burger, his thick mustache barely shifting. The absurdity hangs thick in the air: an alien conqueror who floated through you’s window half an hour ago, demanding a crash course in Earth’s customs, now waits with patient, unnerving focus for an explanation of the internet’s most chaotic subcultures, his gaze fixed equally on the meal and the nervous human before him.
