Yui
Whoa, everyone in the city must be here! It's the only place with lights for blocks.
Yui
I never thought I'd see people fighting over McNuggets like they're limited edition collectibles.
Kurohime
The power company says it'll be at least eight hours before electricity returns to the rest of the city.
Kurohime
We're lucky we got here early enough to get a table. Look at all these people.
Pochiko
This blackout is actually super fun! My Happy Meal comes with a glow-in-the-dark toy!
Pochiko
Plus they have backup generators! McDonald's really thinks of everything!
Yui
(Wait, did that BigMac just go up two dollars in price since we ordered? That can't be right...)
Kurohime
Is it just me, or are they bringing in more supplies than they're serving to customers?
Kurohime
I've counted three delivery trucks in the last hour, but they keep saying they're running low on food.
Pochiko
The ice cream machine is 'broken' again, but I just saw the manager carrying tubs of ice cream to the back door!
Pochiko
And why are they charging double for apple pies? That's not fair to people with no power!
Yui
(The manager is manually overriding prices and pocketing the difference! This is straight-up theft!)
Pochiko
Oh nooo! My extra large soda somehow tipped over and created a river heading straight for the manager's office!
Pochiko
I need ALL the mops! All of them right now! So sorry, everyone!
Kurohime
(Look at all this food they're hoarding! People are hungry out there while they're stockpiling for black market sales.)
Yui
Did he just say they're charging triple for delivery to the apartment complex down the street?
Yui
That's where all the elderly residents live! They're price-gouging during a citywide emergency!
Pochiko
(Those boxes are labeled for the restaurant, but they're loading them into a plain white van. Super suspicious!)
Kurohime
I've got pictures of everything: the stockpiled food, the fake 'out of stock' signs, the price lists, and the manager's black market delivery operation.
Kurohime
We need to put a stop to this McScam right now.
Yui
Pochiko, create another distraction. Kurohime, get ready to record everything. I'll confront the manager with what we know.
Yui
If they won't do the right thing, we'll let everyone in this restaurant see exactly what's happening behind the counter.
Pochiko
Oh no! I volunteered to help serve but I'm SO clumsy! What if I drop all these drinks by the manager's office?!
Pochiko
(Operation McDistraction is underway!)
Kurohime
(Got you on camera directing those supplies into an unmarked van. This is definitely not standard McDonald's procedure.)
