Chapter 24 Unmuted System

They all turned around and saw their dates were waiting patiently for them and reluctantly returned to their tables.

Even when they sat down their eyes never left Theo, leaving the men to be even more pissed. Once they were seated again, a waiter ran onto the stage with a mic, gave it to Theo and slipped a note into his hand.

"Hello is this thing working" turning back he saw a waiter gave him the thumbs up and continued.

The piece of paper was instructions from William and so he read it out "My boss would like to ask the customers to order something, I promise the food here is just as good as me"

"So you guys order and I'm gonna go get myself a drink"

Whilst customers were ordering Theo made his way to the bar and asked "Do you guys have Apple juice"

"Huh? sorry, sir, do you mean an Apple flavoured alcohol beverage?"

Theo shook his head "Nope Apple juice as in freshly squeezed and could you put ice cubes in it"

The Barman was kinda confused but he still nodded at his request and began to pour a carton of apple juice into a cup with some ice.

Taking his mask off he began to sip his drink. He wasn't really sure what happened up there but he was certain that he actually has another personality.

But he was confused about why he came out when he put the mask on 'Is it some more bullshit hidden feature that the mask came, wait, can rewards have hidden features'

Theo went into his menu and unmuted his system notification.

*Cough* Theo choked on his drink when he saw what failure meant.

Theo's thoughts 'leave that for another day it, So what love song can I sing hmm. . . . . Bruno Mars just the way you are, Nah that's a way to personal'

His mind was racing when he felt someone had sat next to him and then he heard Megan's voice "Hows my star student doing, pun intended hehe"

"Hey Megan, I'm surprisingly doing pretty good, even though there were some bumps along the way it was a pretty good experience to see their reaction"

"So what you drinking"

"It's just Apple juice"

"Why not alcohol? although gave you the talk about drugs I think you're responsible enough to drink"

"No thanks, that stuff is disgusting"

"That's good alcohol will ruin your life" Then she called out for the bartender and asked "I'll have the same as him" pointing at Theo's drink.

"Why didn't you just say Apple juice"

"I'm a grown woman there's no way I'm asking for apple juice at the bar"

". . . ."

"So let's talk about your other personality"

"I thought I could deal with it myself but..."

"Let me stop you there, didn't you say we're friends. Then as your friend, I will help you, just like I did with your education"

"Thanks again, Megan. Well, I don't really think its a separate personality cus it still had my way of speaking. My theory is that I'm just subconsciously thinking that if I'm behind the mask then there's nothing to worry about cos it's not me and even if it is a separate personality it won't cause any harm"

"Fine but I'm still gonna set up an appointment for a psychiatrist"

"okay"

"Well it's about time you played some more songs"

With a *sigh* he picked himself off the stool "See ya in a bit" Getting on stage again he began to play for another hour or so and came back to the bar for another dink.

After the customers left more people would turn up and have the same reaction as before.

As the night went on Theo couldn't help but realise that the percentage of the male customer was drastically falling and being replaced by females.

Sitting down next to Megan "Hey Megan by any chance are they all my fans"

Megan turned to look at the seated customers and couldn't help chuckle at the sea of women giving her the evils.

"No doubt about it, they are definitely your crazed fans, so how's does it feel to have an efficient fan base"

"I'm grateful, so in return, I felt like doing something special to show my appreciation"
