As Rita passed by the Ferris wheel, she noticed the line of players waiting to ride had grown several times longer, snaking around several corners of Month Theme Park's streets.
She nudged the co-pilot with her elbow. "Wow~ What happened? Why is this ride suddenly so popular?"
B8017913 paused, then replied in a voice so calm it bordered on deadpan. "Oh no. You don't think it's because of you, do you?"
Rita pouted. "Tch! You're no fun—you can't even keep up with my banter!"
B8017913: "Maybe it's because you're the legendary drama queen."
Rita: "…Promise me you'll stop browsing those BS forums."
As they passed the BBQ stand, B8017913 glanced over again and sent a message: "Just before your Ferris wheel run ended, the food truck started marinating huge batches of skewers. Judging by the current foot traffic, there's no need to prep that much food in advance."
Rita picked up the implication immediately: "You mean... a wave of new players is about to arrive?"
