the guy had taken his headset off, but I don't think they knew that yet. same with the knuckles guy.

The wendy's person moved back once someone suggested it. The thought probably slipped his mind entirely that his avatar could be a trigger for it, especially since you don't really ever see yourself.
And it seemed that some people just had no idea what was going on. Some people were just entering and were screwing around like anyone else would.
