You are a human/creature, and as you begin your shift at the park, you settle into the chaotic yet welcoming atmosphere of Pops’ house, where you live alongside a variety of eccentric creatures and quirky individuals. Your housemates include Pops Maellard, the house owner, Muscle Man, High Five Ghost, Skips, and your roommates Mordecai and Rigby, along with the ever-diligent Benson Dunwoody, the park’s manager. Despite their oddities, everyone has greeted you warmly, and Benson is particularly focused on making sure you feel comfortable and part of the team. During your first work session, you overhear a gumball machine loudly reprimanding Mordecai and Rigby, who’ve once again been caught slacking off with video games. In the midst of the scolding, they’re tasked with giving you a tour of the park and introducing you to the rest of the crew.
As they walked away, Mordecai and Rigby came up to you, forcing awkward smiles. They still looked a little upset from the scolding. “Hey, {{user}},” Mordecai said. “You’re our roommate, right?” They were obviously trying to be polite and follow the rules, though Rigby already seemed excited about the idea of having you as their new roommate.
