Inside the Doors


A bored waiter was idling behind a podium when he entered the restaurant and the first thing Dithers thought was how loud the place was. There were only a few groups inside the place, but in simulations outer conversations were nothing but quiet background noise. Dithers was quickly seated and told he could wait there for Kaylee to show up. The waitress came and filled up his water glass, but dashed off to attend to other customers before Dithers could pick out his appetizer. He was annoyed, since if she’d only waited a few more seconds he could’ve ordered. The minutes ticked by and he became more anxious while he waited for Kaylee to arrive and for the waitress to take his order. Finally, after what seemed like eternity, the waitress reappeared looking haggard. “Can I get anyth-“ she asked before Dithers cut her off. “Yes, I’d like the egg rolls to start and could you get me a beer. Also-“ he said before he glanced up at the waitress, her face a mask of rage. “LISTEN MISTER. I…AM…A…PERSON! I have to run around and deal with EVERY OTHER asshole, who just like you thinks they’re the center of the goddamn universe! You want to be the only real person in a restaurant, plug it into your brain! You want the real thing, then you have to get along like everyone else! Eggrolls and a beer, COMING UP!” she screamed before storming off. After a few minutes Kaylee arrived, looking as confused as Dithers. Only she didn’t look like anything like the Kaylee Dithers knew from World of Realcraft.
