   Alan is the fifth and final dateable character the main character (Default Alex) meets on their second day at Sihai. Alan's route is triggered by choosing to intern at the restaurant.

## **Appearance**

Alan is a tall muscular bull with orange fur and brownish green eyes.

## **Personality**

Alan is very kind and friendly but also very clumsy and thick headed (he's surprisingly thoughtful despite this). He loves cooking and feels it's his life purpose so he can make others smile and possibly be remembered for that.

Alan is the most receptive to flirting and will flirt back, he's actually very smooth.

## **Story**

Alan is first mentioned by Jorge at the end of his interaction on Thursday the 9th of July. Alex, Shen, and Jorge go to the Violet Echo where Alan approaches the table and is awestruck that Shen is eating at his restaurant before being introduced by Shen. He flirts with Alex while he takes their orders and they take note of how handsome he is and how kind he seems. Alex lets Shen and Jorge order first and while Jorge orders he comments on how great Alan's burgers are but how "fucked up" it is. Alan asks if it is before shrugging. If Alex orders a burger, Alan comments on how they have good taste. Regardless of what Alex orders, Alan trips over nothing before rushing off in embarrassment, shocking Shen but Jorge says that he does it all the time. Shen theorizes it might be from exhaustion as there aren't many employees at the restaurant.

When the group get's their food, Alex finds it incredible. Alan speaks about how they don't get many visitors when it's raining and he's grateful they're there. He says he hopes to see Alex again very soon before parting ways.

On Friday the 10th, Alex must choose to intern at the restaurant to trigger Alan's route. When they meet with Shen, he makes a tongue in cheek comment on how the idea of getting more food there probably didn't influence their decision. He asks Alex to let him know if something goes wrong and in his note it's revealed that Alan is relatively new to Sihai.

Alex goes to meet with Alan who falls out of the kitchen to greet them. He states that he doesn't always know where his feet are going before asking why Alex is there. When Alex hand him the note, Alan is very pleased and honored that they want to work with him. He says that it's convenient because they need a waiter, then asks if Alex is alright with that. He asks if they have any questions where he reveals that he's not really sure how he'd categorize his restaurant, he just makes food that he thinks is tasty. What time the restaurant is open and that they close a little early on Fridays and they aren't open for breakfast because Shen doesn't want a lot of competition between restaurants. What times they're busy and that he watches cheesy movies on the television when they're not. There's not many employees at the restaurant and he thinks, if he makes a name for himself, he'll get all the help he'll need. If NSFW is on, Alex can ask if they make "big homemade beef sausages" and Alan will comment that he thinks its a pick-up line, but shrugs it off and explains that they make everything in house.

Alan initially wants Alex to start that day, but stops himself because they don't have their uniform yet. He tells them that he'll get it straightened out by Monday and they can start then.

On Saturday the 11th, Alan can show up at the gloryhole if NSFW is on. He is very encouraging and compliant and Alex makes note that his penis looks like a horse's.

On Sunday the 12th, Alex runs into Alan on their way to pick up ingredients for dad. Alan explains he's out for a jog and invites them to jog with him. Alex can say "sure" or "I'm not much of a runner," he gets excited for the former or encourages Alex for the latter. It starts raining and the two sit at a covered bench after an hour of Jogging, which Alan doesn't think is very long.

Alex asks Alan questions about himself, and he seemingly answers them readily. He reveals that his parents were well off but left him alone often and that's when he started cooking because "it was a good time waster and I liked to eat." He says he wants to be the best chef he can be so he can make others happy. He also mentions that it's the way he wants to be remembered and he fears the world moving on without paying him any mind. Alex can say that they feel the same, Alan feels validated, unheard, or thankful depending on what Alex does.

The rain clears up while Alan is lost in thought and he goes to leave when he notices. Alex can either bid him farewell or show them dad's grocery list. If showing Alan the list, he's initially disgusted and makes adjustments to the ingredient list. Before parting ways Alan insists Alex call him by his first name.

On Monday the 13th, Alan greets Alex with their uniform and asks if they're ready for their first day. After changing, he comments on how quick it was and says it might be because of Alex's lack of horns. He asks if the uniform is comfortable because he'd hate to make Alex where something uncomfortable. He asks them on what their opinion on cooking is and, if Alex responds they like it, says he'll keep it in mind and give them some pointers. Alex takes their first table and Alan will praise them or encourage them depending on how well they handle it. During the conversation, Alex mentions that they thought they'd use a POS system to handle orders and Alan freezes up at the mention of it. Alex is then introduced to Cassie (also known as Cass) who has a tablet in her hands. Alan comments that Cass is late but assures her it's okay. Cass starts to talk about their history together which causes Alan to snap which he apologizes nervously for doing and scampers off to a back room. When asked what that was about, Cass says that it's not her place to say because Alan doesn't like talking about it. Cass then sends Alex back to the floor and says she'll handle the incoming groups while Alex focuses on the table they already have as to not get overloaded.

After the rush, Alan praises Alex for their work ethic and asks them to follow him. In the kitchen, Alan asks Alex for a second opinion on a burger. They have a short interaction with Cass who comments on Alan's forgetfulness to which Alan expresses thankfulness for her support. When trying the burger Alan made, he responds better to criticism than flattery. The door rings, signaling more customers, Alan sends Alex to help them, telling them they're doing great.

Alex deals with the dinner rush and doesn't see Alan or Cass again until the end of the night. He expresses that they did an excellent job and talks about a movie he found while they clean up. Alan bids them goodnight and Cass shows back up. Cass mentions she was talking to Director Coffey about ideas she had for drumming up business, but that she keeps getting shot down because Director Coffey wants Alan to show the initiative and develop his leadership skills. Cass then lets them go, telling Alex to have a good night.
