>S, put Tomorrow’s Promise on Fortune
"Weird hat, you're being put on a box. Get outta here." Employee S grumbles while carrying Yesterday's Promise over to the containment cell.
Employee S enters the containment cell.
Employee S approaches the fortune telling machine.
S: Let's see what happens when we crosstest, shall we?
S: Better not curse me! Can't be turning into a frog today.
Employee S places the chef's hat on the top of the machine.
She pulls out her notebook and waits.
<span class="mu-i">My fate is...perfection?</span>
<span class="mu-i">What is this feeling? Where a-</span>
<span class="mu-i">Such a ruined texture. Paper-thin, no taste. 0/5.</span>
The anomaly violently starts to shake in place. An awful drill-like sound seeps into the air.
Employee S steps back, still writing her notes.
S: Oh ho, finally something that isn't blood and guts.
S: Show me what you got.
The shaking suddenly stops. All is quiet for now.
<span class="mu-b">Something that isn't paper is being pushed out of the slot.</span>
Employee S bends down to grab it after it falls to the ground.
S: Huh. A cookie?
She holds a fortune cookie up to the camera.
Another fortune cookie is spat out of the anomaly. Then a third one. Then a fourth one.
S: Yeah, I think it's gonna do this for a while.
Employee S starts putting the cookies onto the table inside the cell as more fall.
A few minutes of this pass by.
After the tenth one, a regular slip of fortune paper falls out of the machine.
Employee S stops taking her notes to grab it and read it.
S: "Don't open the others yet?"
S: Mind clarifying why?
Another slip of paper is spat out of the machine. It flutters past Employee S and to the security camera.
ANOMALY: "Fortune cookie nonsense. Open them when the time comes for tiny boons."
ANOMALY: "Please take this hat off. I'm feeling rather woozy."
Employee S takes the hat off of the anomaly. All activity ceases.
S: Alright, that was entertaining! I think that's enough for both of us.
S: Have a good sleep, Fortune.
Employee S exits the containment cell.
...Okay, maybe you should test out PARADIGMs on anomalies more often, because that was the last thing you expected.
