[The Crossing, A Small Lot]
A squat white stucco building sits on a small paved lot, dwarfed by the larger buildings surrounding it. Next to the building is what appears to be a large gerbil head on a metal pole, its face twisted into a rictus of a supposed smile. You also see: a large menu.
Obvious exits: out.

>look head
Closer inspection reveals that the gerbil head is actually made of paper mache. Inset into the mouth is a small metal grate with a long tube attached to it. It appears the tube runs over to the white stucco building.

A voice echoes out of the gerbil head, "Welcome to McGerbils! Can I take you order?"

>blink
You blink.

>look menu

>ponder
You ponder.

"Yeah, I'll take a McGerbil and a Shake.
You say, "Yeah, I'll take a McGerbil Deluxe and a Shake."

Out of the corner of your eye you see an annoyed looking Halfling sitting on a horse.

A voice echoes out of the gerbil head, "Would you like flies with that?"

"Uh, no thanks.
You say, "Uh, no thanks."

A voice echoes out of the gerbil head, "That'll be 65 Kronars, please walk up to the window."

>stare head
You stare blankly at the head.

<<don't forget about the breakfast menu! Only available for thirty roisaen at dawn each day>>

I didn't, but I hate breakfast with a passion (it shouldn't be a meal at all), so I didn't include it.

<<i guess if you program alot you learn to hate breakfast considering you usually go to sleep when the bacon starts cooking and wake up when school lets out. I remember working on a project over the span of 2 weeks, and each night i turned in at around 6 in the morning and woke up at 1... rinse and repeat.>>

I'm just naturally like that, it's not DR that's done it to me. Of course it hasn't helped things either.
