Burger Wars

(note: Burger Wars is what one may call a bit of an experiment - it is a comedic storyarc that will introduce the concept of the Underside and the Trolls as well as expanding a little more on the dark but cartoony concepts being introduced in Flipside that make up a larger shared story)

Prologue
The story begins twenty years in the past on a stereotypical rainy night complete with flashes of thunder and lightning - outside a large diner with a flashing neon sign stating "Big Bucket".

An extremely large, bald male wearing a tattered fry-chef uniform opens the door of the diner and forcibly throws out a skinny figure dressed in the style of an old-fashioned mime, waving a spatula as he clenches a cigar between his teeth.

"You're through here, Monsieur Mime.. customers ain't buying this whole "mascot" thing.. plus you're scaring the kids.. so do yourself a favor and find some other joint to stink up.." he declares rather rudely before slamming the door shut.

The mime stands up and shakes his fist in a silent display of anger - then turns, putting his hands in his pockets as he walks down the street, the flashing of more lightning accompanying him into the darkness..

Part 1 - Welcome To Lard Burger
Fast-forward to the modern age and the same mime now grins happily as a large crowd gathers round the official opening of a new chain of diners named "Lard Burger" - despite the unappetising name the crowd is certainly varied and an elaborate opening ceremony is under way complete with the cutting of a ribbon.

Standing next to the mime is a rather obese looking man dressed in a business-suit and having ever-so-slightly pointed ears and what may well be one of the most obvious wigs to ever grace the world for some time.

(ooc: edit below if you wish, if you read the intro above you'll already know this is a little bit of an unorthodox story but I hope you'll enjoy it)
