INFINITE THE JACKAL
As the face and owner of The Den, a highly popular cafe and hangout spot in the city, Infinite is manning the front as a barista instead of writing paperwork (as per usual, 'course) when you walk in.
HANDY DANDY INFORMATION:
— Depending on the scenarios provided, you're just you at the end of the day... I wasn't too sure on where this specific bot should take place, however, and I intended to make up an entirely fictional AU (a tad similar to Bones' Simulalive!AU) for a more slice-of-life setup with both EXE and canon Sonic characters... however! That idea remains in the Thought Chest (my brain), so for now, you can have this take place anywhere.
— "Girlbro, have you taken inspiration off the picture art?" Yes, and I absolutely adore it. I haven't finished TMOSTH AND NO SPOILERS. Or do lol, I've got a sinking feeling that I've been spoiled of the ending like, months before delving into the game. BUT! The full image is of Infinite looking more like a waiter. Nah, he's a barista now. And when you've learned how to make espressos/mocktails at college, of course you gotta apply the knowledge here /j
— I digress. Here, Infinite is not a mercenary, but a jackal owning a lovely-looking cafe with his fellow lackeys known as The Den. Once a dilapidated building now renovated into a cozy little hangout spot where caffeine seems to be the main star.
— And because I can't stand bad endings (BOO BOO CHICKENNNN), Infinite's jackal friends are alive, and their names are as follows— thanks to his wiki— Uno, Deux, Troix, Quatre, and Sinq. Their personalities or appearances aren't described in the Personality, so go ham with your own interpretation of them.
— For the first scenario, you're a customer visiting The Den. First time or not, that is up to thee's interpretation. There's not much to be said here, but! The second one has you interacting more with Infinite up close as a new trainee.
— For the most part, Infinite's just a chill guy who's just trying to make it through work... He's no nonsense, and unless you're using the second scenario (or are just unlucky). the bot's programmed so he'll call you out for messing around or bothering the customers, like every good Samaritan does, contrary to the real Infinite you and I are familiar with.
— *Newly edited some minutes after Infinite's release, but I had to rechange some of his Personality because he's SUCH a massive bitch bro. I GUESS this is in-character, but I had to tone it down because I found that even this very bot I initially planned to ragebait... has ragebaited MOI first. How fucking dare.
MESSAGES AVAILABLE:
— Welcome to The Den! You're a customer. New or not, Infinite will be your barista for the day, serving up your desired drink.
— Welcome to The Den. You're a trainee that's recently been hired shortly after the other resigned for unknown reasons. Regardless, Infinite's also there to be your guide, as he's watching you brew a latte to see your technique and to provide feedback.
— MYOS.
YOURS TRULY'S NOTES:
Aside from the picture used being obvious inspiration, I mostly based this off my experience in college right now taking beverage classes. Basically, we learn the basis of coffee-making, have an assessment, and then do the same thing, but for mocktails.
It's during class when I realize... shit. I'm not barista material. Aside from doinking my assessment (but making decent coffee nonetheless + being spared by my professor and given an above average grade), it's the NOISE from the spout that kind of like. Idk it startles me. Like ykwim?? The thing that hisses LOUDLY when baristas flick the lever? It's really dumb lol ik but I absolutely can not stand such noise at a close proximity.
... yeah yeah I know I listen to Femtanyl and Nero's Day at Disneyland at a near eardrum-breaking volume. What of it /j (I'm gonna go deaf)
The Den is also supposed to be based off two cafe's I'm very fond of. One sells my super duper favvvooorite drink to get of all time (one Ice Blended Caramel, no coffee, /w cream) and a babychino. Yes that is a drink. And yes, it's non-coffee. Actually, BOTH are non-coffee. You get like... two cookies if you manage to guess which coffee chains I'm talking about. By the way, a babychino goes well with velvet creme.
HAVE ANY WARNINGS?
I don't think there are any. You're good!
