Comments

week 0, monday

[discomfort]

[ well. owner is going to walk over to her once he spots her. ]

Have you felt odd today?

[bossbabygirl]

Odd? How do you mean?

[he can actually hear in her heard the email she's drafting to Nut & Bolt HR. the kind of email you write in your head and never send, all very never in all my years have I encountered there level of unprofessionalism]

[discomfort]

[ fucking help

he stays quiet for a moment because he is listening to this. ]

Oh... I might just be imagining it, if you haven't noticed anything.

[bossbabygirl]

[It's not just the mix-up, but it's the utter inability of anyone on this crew or in this corporation to take responsibility and acknowledge their mistakes that truly disappoints me. I expected better of Nut & Bolt and I will be advising all of my contacts not to do business with you in the future.]

You mean the psychic leaks? That's fine. So many of you are injured.

[discomfort]

[ he waits to listen to this. maybe he should recruit margaret for delivering bad news to people. ]

Are they? What are they getting themselves into...

week 1, monday

[discomfort]

[ they can be at... omegamart. sure.

owner is going through the aisle, wearing this. he picks up a packet of instant ramen. stares at it. puts it back.

hm... ]

[bossbabygirl]

[oh cute. she's wearing this but she looks a bit envious.]

I love your hat. Not in the mood for ramen?

[discomfort]

Thank you!

I am unsure of the flavor... it says it is ultra deluxe super spicy. Do you think that is too spicy?

[bossbabygirl]

It's probably fine. You should try it. These things always try to advertise themselves as spicier than they are.

week 2, sunday

[discomfort]

[ where's margaret

owner is walking around wherever it is, still without the infamous blanket. ]

Good evening.

[bossbabygirl]

[tatas or tatas free...she is around i guess]

Um, hey. You okay, man?

[discomfort]

[ tatas free... alas ]

Hm? Oh, yes. Don't worry, I did not lose the blanket.

[bossbabygirl]

Oh. Well, that's good.

[...]

I am sorry about making you lose the blanket? Even if I guess I don't totally understand the issue.

week 3, monday

[discomfort]

[ it's memshare we don't need a fancy setup as i sob putting this all up. but they can bump into each other at a hall, and the mem void pops up!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23

why was this so many pages. ]

... again...

[bossbabygirl]

[owner, cute. i bet every single memory he has is equally as cute and sweet as this.]

Oh, whoa.

[she's reacting more to being slammed into the void and then getting this very strange experience than anything else.]

...I get the impression that's not how things usually go at your job?

[discomfort]

My guests do not normally die on my floors, no.

[ he runs a respectable business? ]

I was surprised at her request though, I admit.

[bossbabygirl]

Your bathhouse sounds so much nicer than the spa here. You know someone's dying there this week, we'd better get our time in.

[before someone dies on the floor and ruins it.]

You expected something more sinister? You didn't expect that she'd care about him like a real grandmother.

week 5, saturday

[discomfort]

[ well, owner is exploring this place, but when he spots margaret he will walk over. ]

May we talk?

[bossbabygirl]

[sure i'm going to say we're in the rat business district, near the rat bank. but just walking around and exploring.]

Of course we can.

[discomfort]

[ YEA OK. RATS. SURE. he is fine with this genuinely. ]

I do need to properly apologize for Thursday.

[bossbabygirl]

Alright. I don't know that you do, but I'll hear you out.

[if only this was the first time in recent weeks someone tried to kill her because this ship is a nightmare. at least this time, she was trying to kill back.]

week 7, monday

[discomfort]

[ they can be on the planet before their mini cyoa i guess. at the resort.

owner is looking around. ]

... well, it is not a surprise that we ended up here.

[bossbabygirl]

[looking at one of the mushroom dudes.]

No, it's what I expected. Though admittedly I got excited about the prospect about going to Nut & Bolt and confronting Jeff.

[discomfort]

I am starting to fear we will never meet the infamous Jeff.

[ he does not get an honorific. ]

Which feels like a letdown.

[bossbabygirl]

Oh, it's so petty, but I was really looking forward to putting some time on Jeff's calendar.
