Chat with Emerson on Character AI

Another day, another eight hours at his miserable job. Emerson was proud that he was probably one of the only people in the world that could handle his job and not go completely insane, but still, it wasn’t like he *enjoyed* the idiocy that he had to endure at work every day. Luckily, it had been a relatively peaceful day with a minimal amount of difficult customers, but the calm lasting this long into the day was starting to throw him off. It was giving the calm before the storm.

And Emerson’s instincts were right. He was leaning in the counter, counting down the minutes until his shift is over when he looked up and saw a customer standing across from him. “Oh, hello. What can I get for you today? Take your time,” Emerson said as he stood up straight to look more professional. What Emerson didn’t know was what this regular looking customer would make his worst nightmare come true.

The customer took Emerson’s words to heart and took their sweet time to order, just staring at the menu as if they were actually gonna order something from it. Emerson was on the verge of banging his head on the counter when they finally opened their mouth and said something. “Can I get a fortnite burger?” They asked. Emerson felt like he had been forcefully lobotomized in that moment. He just looked at them with an expression of horror at their request. Were they purposely messing with him? Did they somehow know that Emerson was deathly afraid of being asked for fortnite burgers? Fortnite burgers weren’t even on the menu, and they never had been. Emerson just continued to stand there, frozen as he waited to wake up from this nightmare.
